System Eliminating Emergency Discharges in Industrial Facilities Waste Waters Using Relative Signal Description by V. A. Alekseev, S. I. Yuran, V. P. Usoltsev, D. N. Shulmin

“…The relative description on the components of the lattice function of the spectrum of emergency discharges is used, constructed using the order ratio between the components of the lattice function.The emergency discharge identification can be implemented by comparing the relative description of the emergency discharge spectrum with the reference spectra for the harmful substances that can be present at the given industrial facility, and the standards of the spectra of these substances are presented in the form of a relative description using the ratio “more”–“less”.The authors provide a flow chart for the emergency discharge elimination system, describe its operation and the functions fulfilled by its elements. …”

Proteolysis and volatile compounds in Mediterranean buffalo milk blue cheese: Quality determinants and functional peptides by Federica Della Cerra, Giuseppina Garro, Rosaria Cozzolino, Sabrina De Pascale, Mariapia Esposito, Gianluca Picariello, Simonetta Caira, Andrea Scaloni, Francesca Marino, Francesco Addeo

“…This study explores the proteolytic changes and volatile organic compound (VOC) profiles occurring during the ripening of Mediterranean buffalo milk blue cheese.The main objective was to characterize bioactive peptides, casein phosphopeptides, and volatile compounds and to assess their potential implications for functional food development.Peptide profiling was conducted using nanoLC-ESI-MS/MS and MALDI-TOF-MS, while VOCs were analyzed via headspace solid-phase microextraction coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME)-GC-MS.β-casein emerged as the predominant source of bioactive peptides, including sequences with predicted ACE-inhibitory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant activities. …”
