The aim of this experiment was to establish rapid detection methods of okadaic acid (OA) in shellfish in order to ensure edible safety. The OA was coupled with human IgG as immunity antigen and with BSA as detection antigen by active ester method. The Balb/c mice were inoculated with the prepared antigen. The hybridoma secreting monoclonal antibody against OA was constructed by the cell-fusion technology and the specialities of the monoclonal antibody were analyzed. The ELISA method was established for detecting OA after ascites was prepared and purified. At the same time, the HPLC-MS/MS method was also set up. Some shellfish samples were detected by the two methods. The linear regression equation of ELISA method is y = -34.212x + 83.49 (y is optical density at 490-nm wavelength, and x is OA concentration, μg/L) with the determination coefficient of 0.9784, which shows good linearity over the concentration range of 0.4 to 25μg/L, and the detection limit to OA is 0.18 μg/L. The linear regression equations of HPLC-MS/MS method are y = 193.07x - 780.6 (Q1/Q3: m/z 827.4~m/z 723.5) and y = 83.021x - 335.6 (Q1/Q3: m/z 827.4~m/z 809.5), where y is peak height, and x is OA concentration, μg/L. Both the equations have the same determination coefficients of 0.9991, show good linearity over the concentration range of 10 to 800  μg/L. The detection limit to OA is less than 2 μg/L and the stand average RSD is 4.34%. Two shellfish samples were the positive result by ELISA method, and one of them was verifed by HPLC-MS/MS. The two methods both can be used for detecting OA and provide experimental foundation to establish standard detection method for OA in shellfish.

Via Maillard reaction, enzymatic hydrolysates of pork protein, amino acid and reducing sugar were taken to prepare pork flavor. Through orthogonal test, according to the sensory evaluation score of flavoring, the best conditions for preparing pork flavor were decided as follows: hydrolyzing pork with papain plus peptidase R (5:1) at the enzyme dosage of 0.3% at 55 ℃ for 6 h; Maillard reaction with enzymatic hydrolysates of pork 100.0 g, yeast extract 20.0 g, glucose 10 g, VB1 2 g, Gly 7 g, Ala 5 g, Arg 2 g, Pro 5 g, Asp 5 g, Cys·HCl 9 g, IMP plus GMP (1:1) 1.5 g, monosodium glutamate 4 g, xylose 1.5 g, NaCl 1.5 g, water 25 g, oxided tallow 5 g at 125 ℃ for 60 min. Then aroma constituents of pork flavor were extracted by simultaneous steam distillation/extraction (SDE) and dynamic headspace sampling (DHS), and analyzed by gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O) and mass spectrometry (MS).  Meanwhile, the key aroma compounds were screened by aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA) and dynamic headspace dilution analysis (DHDA). As a result, 30 odor-active compounds were identified by SDE-GCO-MS, and 40 odor-active compounds were detected by DHS-GCO-MS. Among them, 24 common aroma-active compounds were detected by both of the methods. Moreover, the highest FD factors are 2-pentyl-furan, hexanal and 1-octen-3-ol, which make an important contribution to the integrated aroma of the pork flavor and have been reported as the key aroma compounds in the references related to natural pork aroma.

Objective: To investigate the drug resistance of Staphylococcus aureus in animal food in Sichuan, and analyze the Staphylococcus aureus contamination situation. Methods: 2560 samples of animal food (from pig, cattle and chicken ) were collected from December 2006 to September 2007 in Sichuan, then the isolation and identification of Staphylococcus aureus were conducted using selective medium and biochemical test. Results: 118 doubtful strains were isolated according to the growth characteristics on Baird-Parker plate. Among them, 108 strains were regarded as Staphylococcus aureus based on the results of Gram staining, hemolytic crisis and coagulase experiments stipulated in the GB (Chinese national standard), but 113 strains were regarded as Staphylococcus aureus by CHROMagar chromogenic medium and fork index identification stipulated in the TH-16S, whereas only 76 strains, 64% of 118 doubtful strains were further identified as Staphylococcus aureus by 16 biochemical experiments stipulated in the TH-16S. According to GB, the positive rate of SA in 2560 samples was 4.21%, in which, the positive rate of Staphylococcus aureus in raw milk was the highest (10.54%), followed by the pork (7.11%), and that in fresh eggs was zero. Conclusion: The biochemical phenotype of Staphylococcus aureus in Sichuan animal food is complicated, which indicates defects of the conventional phenotypic analysis. The contamination of Staphylococcus aureus in various places shows certain differences. Compared to other reports, the positive rates of Staphylococcus aureus in Sichuan animal foods is relatively low.

The peach fruits of cultivar “Yuhua No. 3” were used to investigate the effects of changes of active oxygen and mitochondria respiratory metabolism-related enzymes on the maturation of peach fruit. Significant peaks of respiratory intensity lagged behind the rapid change of fruit firmness exist, and there is an accumulation trend in the content of active oxygen along with the intensification of peach fruit maturation. The results also showed that the content of Ca2+ in mitochondria increases during the maturation of peach fruits, while the activities of SDH, CCO, H+- ATPase and Ca2+-ATPase decrease at different degrees in the later period of maturation. It is preliminarily revealed that there is a close relationship between active oxygen metabolism and mitochondrial respiration, and both of them probably play an important role in the ripening and aging of peach fruit.

In the present study, the effects of different temperatures (15 ℃ or 5 ℃), waxing and mechanical damage on the changes in the activities of peroxide (POD), polyphenol oxidases(PPO), and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) as well as the incidence of peel pitting in “Fengjie” navel orange (Citrus sinensis Osbeck) fruits. The results showed that the incidence of peel pitting is greatly enhanced by waxing and mechanical damage, which indicates that waxing and mechanical damage may be the important factors inducing peel pitting, while the low temperature (5 ℃) can decrease the incidence of this disease. Moreover, mechanical damage distinctly stimulates the increase of the activities of POD and PAL, and the PPO activity is promoted by both of waxing and mechanical damage, while the 5 ℃ storage treatment inhibits the PPO activity. It is suggested that the enzyme activities of POD, PPO and PAL are highly related to peel pitting occurred on “Fengjie” navel orange fruits.
