The essential oil from Citrus changshan-huyou Y.B. Chang (HYEO) contains volatile compounds with strong inhibitory effects on biofilms formed on food processing equipment. This study analyzed the compositional changes of HYEO over 9 years and evaluated its antibacterial and antibiofilm properties. HYEO showed significant antibacterial activity during the first 8 years, effectively removing mature biofilms. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis revealed that monoterpenes were the primary components, with d-limonene and γ-terpenes converting into oxygenated derivatives during storage, resulting in a more than 16-fold increase in antibacterial activity. The antibacterial strength correlated with the number of oxygenated derivatives from limonene and terpinene among the top 20 components. Significant associations were observed between antibacterial activity and the oxygenated derivatives of d-limonene and γ-terpenes. These findings suggest the need for further investigation into their synergistic effects, antibacterial mechanisms, potential applications in food processing, and the safety profiles of the main antibacterial components of HYEO.

The retention mechanisms of small mols. on a wide range of stationary phases using different mobile phase compositions are one of the most discussed topics in current state-of-the-art supercritical fluid chromatog. (SFC).Although various theories have been published on retention behavior, prediction, and stability over time, an in-depth insight into the mechanisms is still lacking.Our study focused on the description of the retention mechanisms on columns with amine moieties, i.e., 2-ethylpyridine, 2-picolylamine, 1-aminoanthracene, and diethylamine, dedicated to SFC, using three different compositions of organic modifier, i.e., methanol, methanol + 10 mmol/L NH₃, and methanol + 2% H₂O, in CO₂.An extensive set of analytes characterized by more than 200 mol. descriptors was used.The importance of the effect of each mol. descriptor on the retention behavior was determined by artificial neural networks.Thus, the descriptors increasing and/or decreasing retention on individual columns using different mobile phase compositions were defined.The data collected over one year of column use were statistically evaluated to describe the retention behavior of small mols. on the tested stationary phases using three organic modifiers and to describe the changes in retention behavior over time.As the development of the SFC method can be laborious and time-consuming, this publication offers a detailed description of the interactions taking place between the analyte and the SFC stationary phase.Understanding these fundamental processes will enable faster development of SFC methods using quality-by-design principles.

Farnesol (FAN), one of plant essential oils, is widely found in a variety of natural plants. Studies demonstrated that FAN contributed to the antioxidant and immune function as well as improving the intestinal flora, however effects of it on the broiler chickens has not been fully characterized. In the present study, we present an undated report of its effects on growth performance, antioxidant and immune functions of broiler chickens challenged with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). One hundred healthy male AA⁺ broiler chickens with uniform body weight were divided into control and FAN groups, there were five replicates and 10 birds in each one. The trial lasted for 28 days, and two birds with uniform body weight were selected from each replicate to be treated with intraperitoneal injection of LPS at the end of the trial, and then samples were harvested after 3 h. Results showed that dietary supplementary with FAN tended to improve the feed conversion ratio (FCR) (P = 0.058). The levels of serum lactate dehydrogenase and IL-1β were elevated in the birds challenged with LPS, as well as the content of malondialdehyde in the ileal and liver (P < 0.05). Additionally, LPS treatment descended the levels of catalase and superoxide dismutase, and the ratio of villi height to crypt depth in the ileum (P < 0.05). Dietary supplementation with FAN was able to alleviate the abnormal changes of the above indexes caused by LPS. In addition, dietary supplementation with FAN also contributed to alleviating the up-regulation of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR-4), nuclear transcription factor κB (NF-κB), myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (MYD88), tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) and IL-1β transcription levels in the ileum and liver of birds challenged with LPS (P < 0.05). Results of intestinal flora demonstrated that the relative abundance of Candidatus Arthromitus was up-regulated in the ileal chyme of birds challenged with LPS, and dietary supplementation with FAN could reshape it. Intriguingly, the relative abundance of Candidatus Arthromitus was positively correlated with the mRNA levels of TLR-4, NF-κB, MYD88, TNF-α and IL-1β in the ileum (P < 0.05). In conclusion, dietary supplementation with FAN might confer a protective effect on the intestine of broiler chickens challenged with lipopolysaccharide by reshaping intestinal flora, especially Candidatus Arthromitus, and regulating TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.
