Abstract
The present research aimed to retrieve key information about the genuineness of Sicilian lemon essential oils by evaluating simultaneously the chiral and isotopic data of target terpene components. With respect to previous literature references, where chiral recognition and isotope discrimination were performed by distinct gas chromatographic methods, this study aimed to develop a single analytical approach. To overcome limitations associated to monodimensional gas chromatographic approaches, an enantio‑selective multidimensional gas chromatographic approach coupled to isotopic ratio mass spectrometry and to parallel single quadrupole detection (Es-MDGC-C-IRMS/qMS) was developed. Thanks to the features of this system, enantiomeric excesses and target δ13C of the chiral and achiral components were evaluated in a single gas chromatographic run, allowing to reduce total time analysis, as well the consumption of electricity, solvents and samples. Moreover, due to the capability to baseline separate the enantiomeric couples, further considerations were done about the specific δ13C value of the target separated enantiomers. Dealing with the genuine lemon oils analysed, a different δ13C value was found between the enantiomers of the same chiral component, namely (-) and (+) of α and β-pinene, suggesting a different isotopic fractionation related to a specific biosynthetic pathway. This research aimed to evaluate the reasons behind this behaviour, paving the way to newer considerations in the field of authenticity assessment.

Quality and Nutritional Changes of Traditional Cupcakes in the Processing and Storage as a Result of Sunflower Oil Replacements with Refined Olive Pomace Oil. Foods 2023; 12:foods12112125.

Abstract
Recent nutritional studies have shown that the regular consumption of olive pomace oil (OPO) contributes to cardiovascular and cardiometabolic disease prevention. OPO could be a healthier alternative to the polyunsaturated oils employed in a number of bakery foods. However, little is known about the quality and nutritional changes of OPO in these products, especially the amounts of its bioactive components that finally reach consumers. The aim of this research was to evaluate refined OPO as a substitute for sunflower oil (SO) in cupcakes specially manufactured with a 6-month shelf-life. The influence of processing and storage on lipid oxidative changes and the levels of OPO bioactive components was studied. OPO samples exhibited much higher resistance to oxidative degradation in the processing and especially after storage, which had a greater oxidative impact. OPO reduced considerably the levels of oxidised lipids. HPLC analysis showed hydroperoxide triglyceride concentrations of 0.25 (±0.03) mmol/kg fat against 10.90 (±0.7) mmol/kg in the control containing SO. Sterols, triterpenic alcohols and triterpenic acids remained unchanged, and only slight losses of squalene (8 wt%) and α-tocopherol (13 wt%) were observed in OPO after processing and storage, respectively. Therefore, OPO preserved its nutritional properties and improved the quality and nutritional value of the cupcakes.

Abstract
Lemon juice vesicles have abundant flavor components that can undergo complex changes during drying. Three drying methods, including integrated freeze-drying (IFD), conventional freeze-drying (CFD), and hot-air drying (AD), were studied to determine their effects on the dynamic changes in the flavor compounds in lemon juice vesicles. Compared with the fresh samples, the final dried samples that underwent IFD, CFD, and AD lost seven, seven, and six volatile flavor compounds and three, four, and five amino acids, respectively; the order of the loss ratios with respect to the volatile compound content was: 82.73% in CFD > 71.22% in IFD > 28.78% in AD. AD resulted in the highest total amino acid content (10.83 ± 0.20 mg/g), which was 1.39 and 5.54 mg/g higher than that of IFD and CFD, respectively; CFD resulted in the highest total organic acid content (45.94 ± 0.34 mg/g), which was 8.01 and 7.87 mg/g higher than that of IFD and AD, respectively; and AD contributed to the highest total soluble sugars (17.12 ± 0.20 mg/g), which was 1.24 and 1.49 mg/g higher than that of IFD and CFD, respectively. A correlation analysis demonstrated that most of the amino acids and the soluble sugars were closely related to the profiles of the volatile compounds in the lemon juice vesicles during drying.

Abstract
Recent times have witnessed an upsurge of interest in hemp and hemp-derived products, as driven by the scientific findings specific to the pharmacological properties of Cannabis sativa L. and its constituents. There has been evidence that the terpene profile, along with the cannabinoid content, produces in humans the effects associated with different strains, beyond fragrance perception. A great deal of effort has been put into developing analytical approaches to strengthen the scientific knowledge on cannabis essential oil composition and provide effective tools for ascertaining the authenticity of commercial cannabis samples. For this concern, enantio-selective-GC-C-IRMS has proven to be effective for assessing the ranges characteristic of the genuine samples and detecting any fraudulent additions. This research aimed at providing for the first time the enantiomeric and isotopic ratios of target terpenes in cannabis essential oils, obtained from microwave-assisted hydro-distillation from the fresh and dried inflorescences of different cannabis varieties. Implementing multidimensional gas chromatography separation was mandatory prior to detection, in order to obtain accurate δ13C values and enantiomeric data from completely separated peaks. For this purpose, a heart-cut method was developed, based on the coupling of an apolar first dimension column to a secondary chiral cyclodextrin-based stationary phase. Afterwards, the data gathered from enantio-selective-MDGC-C-IRMS/qMS analysis of a set of genuine samples were used to evaluate the quality of nineteen commercial cannabis essential oils purchased from local stores. Remarkably, the data in some cases evidenced enantiomeric ratios and δ13C values outside the typical ranges of genuine oils. Such findings suggest the usefulness of the method developed to ascertain the genuineness and quality of cannabis essential oils.

Abstract
The use of IRMS as a GC detector has a history going back decades, however the critical issue of wrong δ13C measurements resulting from impure peaks has been often underestimated. To this regard, multidimensional separation techniques are effective tools to improve the reliability of the data, with respect to those obtained after monodimensional analysis. The present research aims to draw attention to one critical issue, related to the reliability of the δ13C data obtained by means of monodimensional GC-C-IRMS. Although already known from the literature, such aspect has been greatly overlooked, as is reflected in the few papers reporting the use of MDGC, among the plethora of published research dealing with GC-C-IRMS applications. Hereby, a set of natural samples of complex composition were analysed to investigate the presence of minor or even undetected coelutions, and to which extent it affected the isotope ratio determination. Apart from chromatographic effects, and issues related to analytes conversion to CO2 prior to IRMS measurement, unpredictable co-elutions with compounds, either resulting from oxidation or intentionally added in fraudulent practices, could also contribute to a shift of the δ13C data, up to 10‰ and higher. Last, the influence of column bleed was investigated, as affecting the determination of the δ13C data for compounds that were eluted at high temperatures. It was finally demonstrated by the selected key studies that implementation of MDGC separation is mandatory to prevent the aforementioned issues, aiming to guarantee accurate results. In the light of the above conclusions, and considering the level of automation of heart-cut devices nowadays available, routine practice of MDGC results highly recommendable in any IRMS applications.

Abstract
Lemon essential oil (LEO) is a well-known flavoring agent with versatile biological activities. In the present study, we have isolated and characterized four citral-enriched fractions of winter LEO. We reported that in murine and human macrophages the pre-treatment with a mix of these fractions (Cfr-LEO) reduces the expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 induced by LPS. In addition, Cfr-LEO counteracts LPS-induced oxidative stress, as shown by the increase in the GSH/GSSG ratio in comparison to cells treated with LPS alone. Overall, the results reported here encourage the application of EO fractions, enriched in citral, in the nutraceutical industry, not only for its organoleptic properties but also for its protective action against inflammation and oxidative stress.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fruit peels are generally underutilized byproducts of the food industry, although they are valuable sources of bioactive compounds. The aim of this study is to evaluate a new application for three Citrus peel EOs as bio-herbicides. METHODS After a micro-morphological evaluation of Citrus peels by SEM analysis, the phytochemical composition of the EOs of Citrus × bergamia Risso & Poit., Citrus × myrtifolia Raf., and Citrus limon (L.) Osbeck was characterized by GC/FID and GC/MS analyses. The in vitro phytotoxicity against germination and initial radical elongation of several crop and weed species was evaluated. Furthermore, the eco-compatibility of these EOs has been assessed by the brine shrimp (Artemia salina) lethality assay. RESULTS SEM analysis highlighted the morphometric differences of the schizolysigenous pockets among the peels of the three Citrus species. Oxygenated monoterpenes are the main constituents in C. × bergamia (51.09%), whereas monoterpene hydrocarbons represent the most abundant compounds in C. × myrtifolia (82.15%) and C. limon (80.33%) EOs. They showed marked and selective phytotoxic activity in vitro, often at very low concentration (0.1 μg/mL) against all plant species investigated, without showing any toxicity on Artemia salina, opening the perspective of their use as safe bio-herbicides.

Abstract
Lemons (Citrus limon) are a desirable citrus fruit grown and used globally in a wide range of applications. The main constituents of this sour-tasting fruit have been well quantitated and characterized. However, additional research is still necessary to better understand the trace volatile compounds that may contribute to the overall aroma of the fruit. In this study, Lisbon lemons (C. limon L. Burm. f. cv. Lisbon) were purchased from a grove in California, USA, and extracted by liquid-liquid extraction. Fractionation and multidimensional gas chromatography-mass spectrometry were utilized to separate, focus, and enhance unidentified compounds. In addition, these methods were employed to more accurately assign flavor dilution factors by aroma extract dilution analysis. Numerous compounds were identified for the first time in lemons, including a series of branched aliphatic aldehydes and several novel sulfur-containing structures. Rarely reported in citrus peels, sulfur compounds are known to contribute significantly to the aroma profile of the fruit and were found to be aroma-active in this particular study on lemons. This paper discusses the identification, synthesis, and organoleptic properties of these novel volatile sulfur compounds.

Abstract
Epithelial cells (ECs) lining the secretory cavities of Citrus peel have been hypothesized to be responsible for the synthesis of essential oil, but direct evidence for such a role is currently sparse. We used laser-capture microdissection and pressure catapulting to isolate ECs and parenchyma cells (as controls not synthesizing oil) from the peel of young grapefruit (Citrus × paradisi 'Duncan'), isolated RNA, and evaluated transcript patterns based on oligonucleotide microarrays. A Gene Ontology analysis of these data sets indicated an enrichment of genes involved in the biosynthesis of volatile terpenoids and nonvolatile phenylpropanoids in ECs (when compared with parenchyma cells), thus indicating a significant metabolic specialization in this cell type. The gene expression patterns in ECs were consistent with the accumulation of the major essential oil constituents (monoterpenes, prenylated coumarins, and polymethoxylated flavonoids). Morphometric analyses demonstrated that secretory cavities are formed early during fruit development, whereas the expansion of cavities, and thus oil accumulation, correlates with later stages of fruit expansion. Our studies have laid the methodological and experimental groundwork for a vastly improved knowledge of the as yet poorly understood processes controlling essential oil biosynthesis in Citrus peel.

Abstract
This article focuses on the genuineness assessment of Lime oils (Citrus aurantifolia Swingle and C. latifolia Tanaka), by Multi Dimensional Gas Chromatography (MDGC) to determine the enantiomeric distribution of α-thujene, camphene, β-pinene, sabinene, α-phellandrene, β-phellandrene, limonene, linalool, terpinen-4-ol, α-terpineol and by gas chromatography-combustion isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC-C-IRMS) to determine the isotopic ratios of α-pinene, β-pinene, limonene, α-terpineol, neral, geranial, β-caryophyllene, trans-α-bergamotene, germacrene B. To the author's knowledge this is the first attempt to assess the authenticity and differentiate Persian Lime from Key lime oils by GC-C-IRMS. The results of the two analytical approaches were compared. The simultaneous use of the two techniques provides more reliable capability to detect adulteration in Citrus essential oils. In fact, in some circumstance only one of the two techniques allows to discriminate adulterated or contaminated oils. In cases where only small anomalies are detected by the two techniques due to subtle adulterations, their synergic use allows to express judgments. The advantage of both techniques is the low number of components the analyst must evaluate, reducing the complexity of the data necessary to deal with. Moreover, the conventional analytical approach based on the evaluation of the whole volatile fraction can fail to reveal the quality of the oils, if the adulteration is extremely subtle.
