The Rapid Non-Destructive Detection of Adulteration and Its Degree of Tieguanyin by Fluorescence Hyperspectral Technology

Tieguanyin is one of the top ten most popular teas and the representative of oolong tea in China. In this study, a rapid and non-destructive method is developed to detect adulterated tea and its degree. Benshan is used as the adulterated tea, which is about 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% of the total weight of tea samples, mixed with Tieguanyin. Taking the fluorescence spectra from 475 to 1000 nm, we then established the 2-and 6-class discriminant models. The 2-class discriminant models had the best evaluation index when using SG-CARS-SVM, which can reach a 100.00% overall accuracy, 100.00% specificity, 100% sensitivity, and the least time was 1.2088 s, which can accurately identify pure and adulterated tea; among the 6-class discriminant models (0% (pure Tieguanyin), 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50%), with the increasing difficulty of adulteration, SNV-RF-SVM had the best evaluation index, the highest overall accuracy reached 94.27%, and the least time was 0.00698 s. In general, the results indicated that the two classification methods explored in this study can obtain the best effects. The fluorescence hyperspectral technology has a broad scope and feasibility in the non-destructive detection of adulterated tea and other fields.     

Biofortification—A Frontier Novel Approach to Enrich Micronutrients in Field Crops to Encounter the Nutritional Security

Globally, many developing countries are facing silent epidemics of nutritional deficiencies in human beings and animals. The lack of diversity in diet, i.e., cereal-based crops deficient in mineral nutrients is an additional threat to nutritional quality. The present review accounts for the significance of biofortification as a process to enhance the productivity of crops and also an agricultural solution to address the issues of nutritional security. In this endeavor, different innovative and specific biofortification approaches have been discussed for nutrient enrichment of field crops including cereals, pulses, oilseeds and fodder crops. The agronomic approach increases the micronutrient density in crops with soil and foliar application of fertilizers including amendments. The biofortification through conventional breeding approach includes the selection of efficient genotypes, practicing crossing of plants with desirable nutritional traits without sacrificing agricultural and economic productivity. However, the transgenic/biotechnological approach involves the synthesis of transgenes for micronutrient re-translocation between tissues to enhance their bioavailability. Soil microorganisms enhance nutrient content in the rhizosphere through diverse mechanisms such as synthesis, mobilization, transformations and siderophore production which accumulate more minerals in plants. Different sources of micronutrients viz. mineral solutions, chelates and nanoparticles play a pivotal role in the process of biofortification as it regulates the absorption rates and mechanisms in plants. Apart from the quality parameters, biofortification also improved the crop yield to alleviate hidden hunger thus proving to be a sustainable and cost-effective approach. Thus, this review article conveys a message for researchers about the adequate potential of biofortification to increase crop productivity and nourish the crop with additional nutrient content to provide food security and nutritional quality to humans and livestock.     

The Influence of Visual and Spatial Reasoning in Interpreting Simulated 3D Worlds

This paper explores the way in which young children (6 year olds) made sense of screen-based images on the computer. The participants were required to interpret 3D-like representations and relate these images to objects in their environment. Both static and relatively dynamic software programs were used in the investigation. Some of the children could not make links between the screen representation and the intended three-dimensional (3D) objects. It is argued that young children should be exposed to activities that establish explicit links between 2D and 3D objects ``away' from the computer before attempting the more difficult links required to interpret and represent 3D objects in ICT contexts.

Development of Improved High-Performance Liquid Chromatography Method for the Determination of Residual Caprylic Acid in Formulations of Human Immunoglobulins

Quality control of human immunoglobulin formulations produced by caprylic acid precipitation necessitates a simple, rapid, and accurate method for determination of residual caprylic acid. A high-performance liquid chromatography method for that purpose was developed and validated. The method involves depletion of immunoglobulins, the major interfering components that produce high background noise, by precipitation with acetonitrile (1:1, v/v). Chromatographic analysis of caprylic acid, preserved in supernatant with no loss, was performed using a reverse-phase C18 column (2.1 × 150 mm, 3 μm) as a stationary phase and water with 0.05% TFA–acetonitrile (50:50, v/v) as a mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.2 mL/min and run time of 10 min. The developed method was successfully validated according to the ICH guidelines. The validation parameters confirmed that method was linear, accurate, precise, specific, and able to provide excellent separation of peaks corresponding to caprylic acid and the fraction of remaining immunoglobulins. Furthermore, a 2⁴⁻¹ fractional factorial design was applied in order to test the robustness of developed method. As such, the method is highly suitable for the quantification of residual caprylic acid in formulations of human immunoglobulins for therapeutic use, as demonstrated on samples produced by fractionation of convalescent anti-SARS-CoV-2 human plasma at a laboratory scale. The obtained results confirmed that the method is convenient for routine quality control.
