    Abstract Background: The L-arginine metabolome is dysregulated in asthma, though it is not understood how longitudinal changes in L-arginine metabolism differ among asthma phenotypes and relate to disease outcomes.
    Objectives: To determine the longitudinal associations between phenotypic characteristics with L-arginine metabolites and their relationships with asthma morbidity.
    Methods: This is a prospective cohort study of 321 patients with asthma followed semiannually for over 18 months with assessments of plasma L-arginine metabolites, asthma control, spirometry, quality of life and exacerbations. Metabolite concentrations and ratios were transformed using the natural logarithm.
    Results: There were many differences in L-arginine metabolism among asthma phenotypes in the adjusted models. Increasing body mass index was associated with increased asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) and depleted L-citrulline. Latinx was associated with increased metabolism via arginase, with higher L-ornithine, proline and L-ornithine/L-citrulline levels, and was found to have higher L-arginine availability compared with white race. With respect to asthma outcomes, increasing L-citrulline was associated with improved asthma control and increasing L-arginine and L-arginine/ADMA were associated with improved quality of life. Increased variability in L-arginine, L-arginine/ADMA, L-arginine/L-ornithine and L-arginine availability index over 12 months were associated with increased exacerbations, OR 4.70 (95% CI 1.35 to 16.37), OR 8.69 (95% CI 1.98 to 38.08), OR 4.17 (95% CI 1.40 to 12.41) and OR 4.95 (95% CI 1.42 to 17.16), respectively.
    Conclusions: Our findings suggest that L-arginine metabolism is associated with multiple measures of asthma control and may explain, in part, the relationship between age, race/ethnicity and obesity with asthma outcomes.

    Abstract Background: While it is generally accepted that fast-cooking germplasm benefits consumers, benefits to the canning industry have not been established. Genotypes with good canning quality withstand the canning process while remaining intact with good appearance, but canning protocols used by breeders typically involve long processing times that may overcook some genotypes. The goal of this study was to identify whether cooking time influences canning quality in dry beans and whether reducing processing time could improve canning quality of fast-cooking genotypes.
    Results: A set of 20 yellow bean genotypes including Ervilha, PI527538 and 18 derived recombinant inbred lines were selected for their varied cooking times. By comparing the genotypes processed across five retort times, differences in canning quality were identified. All genotypes performed better when processed for less time than the standard 45 min, but canning quality was highest at 10 min for fast- and medium-cooking genotypes and 15 min for slow-cooking genotypes. Cooking time was correlated positively with texture and intactness and negatively with washed-drained weights, indicating that slower cooking beans have higher canning quality. Color changed with retort processing such that longer times produced darker beans with more red and yellow.
    Conclusions: While fast-cooking beans exhibited lower canning quality at standard processing times, reduced retort processing time allowed them to meet quality standards while still maintaining food safety. By accounting for cooking time as a component of canning quality, breeders can develop varieties that are convenient and cost efficient for preparation for both consumers and the canning industry.

    Abstract Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) was extracted and characterized from high-bush blueberries. PPO showed an optimum activity at pH 6.1–6.3 and 35°C, with the enzyme showing significant activity over a wide temperature range (25–60°C). Catechol was the most readily oxidized substrate followed by 4-methylcatechol, DL-DOPA, and dopamine. Blueberry PPO showed a Km of 15mM and Vmax of 2.57 ΔA420nm/min×10−1, determined with catechol. PPO was completely inactivated in 20min at 85°C, however, after 30minat 75°C it showed about 10% residual activity. Thermal treatment at 55 and 65°C for 30min resulted in the partial inactivation of PPO. Ascorbic acid, sodium diethyldithiocarbamic acid, L-cysteine, and sodium metabisulfite were effective inhibitors of PPO at 1.0mM. Benzoic acid and cinnamic acid series inhibitors showed relatively weak inhibition of PPO (21.8–27.6%), even at as high as 2.0mM concentration.
