Assessment of metabolome diversity in black and white pepper in response to autoclaving using MS- and NMR-based metabolomics and in relation to its remote and direct antimicrobial effects against food-borne pathogens.

Study dissected pepper metabolome using H-NMR, identified 18 metabolites including piperine. Aroma profiling showed abundance of β-caryophyllene. Autoclaving improved pepper aroma and revealed antimicrobial activity against food-borne bacteria.

Nano-CeO(2) activates physical and chemical defenses of garlic (Allium sativum L.) for reducing antibiotic resistance genes in plant endosphere.

Researchers found that nano-CeO reduced antibiotic-resistant genes in garlic plants, potentially limiting spread to humans. Effective use of nanomaterials could help control antibiotic resistance in agriculture. The study suggests a potential solution to prevent the spread of antibiotic resistance in plants.
