Italian researchers discovered that changes to product packaging, addition of bioprotective and antimicrobial bacteria called probiotics add 30 days to how long fresh pasta can be stored.

Scientists applied a technology used in cancer research to model a roadmap of chemicals important for agriculture, food production and climate resilience. This chemical roadmap provides a resource that scientists can use to find new ways of regulating plant growth.

Scientists quantified the reactive polysulfide content of 22 different types of vegetables. They revealed that these health promoting compounds are not only found in the leek genus, such as onions and garlic but also in the cruciferous family of vegetables, such as broccoli and cabbage.

Researchers have revealed in a study that stressors including high salinity and lack of nutrients can impact plants such as habaneros. This situation changes the levels of natural compounds in the peppers and might lead to complications for growing peppers and for their shelf life after harvest.

There is a growing demand for fermented coffee due to its unique fruity taste and aroma. The fermented beans used to produce this type of coffee are also an eco-friendly alternative to the regular coffee available in the market but which compounds contribute to its fruity flavor and aroma?

A new machine learning model will help scientists identify small molecules, with applications in medicine, drug discovery and environmental chemistry. Developed by researchers at Aalto University and the University of Luxembourg, the model was trained with data from dozens of laboratories to become one of the most accurate tools for identifying small molecules.

Thermo Fisher Scientific’s new bioanalytical lab is located in Richmond, Virginia and will help to accelerate the firm’s drug discovery process and expand its clinical research operations in the region.

A drug discovery method was used to identify naturally occurring metabolite that converts ‘bad’ fat to ‘good’ fat. This discovery offers a potential way of addressing metabolic conditions like obesity, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

If a human comes down with a rash, they might go to the doctor and come away with some ointment to put on it. Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins get skin conditions, too, but they come about their medication by queuing up nose-to-tail to rub themselves against corals.

The new Xevo TQ Absolute tandem quadrupole mass spectrometer from Waters is up to 15x more sensitive for quantifying negatively ionizing compounds than its predecessor.
