The quality evaluation of crops like strawberries is currently conducted with simple methods such as the use of a saccharometer or colorimeter, or a laborious and time-consuming instrumental analysis. This technology is a simple and rapid method to analysis quantifiably various quality and functional components of agricultural crops including sugars, organic acids, amino acids, glucosinolates. One example is anthocyanin. Anthocyanins are compounds related to the color of plants. They also have beneficial effects on human health and are used as a supplement. Conventionally, the combination of liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry is used to analyze anthocyanins. This method is not applicable in situ in the agricultural industry because of considerable time and work in the pretreatment of samples. Therefore, this technology can offer the agricultural industry a more convenient yet accurate way to perform quality evaluations of their crops on site. Researchers have used a technique called probe electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (PESI/MS/MS) to analyze anthocyanins in crops. PESI/MS/MS, which requires no pretreatment or separation and enables rapid analysis, has been adapted to plant metabolite analysis and succeeded in specifically detecting 81 anthocyanins from 16 types of vegetables and fruits in about 3 minutes each. Furthermore, by using the probe sampling method, in which a probe is inserted directly into the sample, specific anthocyanin molecular species can be detected in the local tissues of the achene and receptacle of mature strawberry fruit. This technology is expected to develop a simple and rapid analysis for components contained in a wide variety of plants, crops, and foods, and is expected to be applied in the fields of plant science, agriculture, and food science. Furthermore, this technology is expected to have a wide range of applications, including real-time analysis of metabolites in living plants. Since there are numerous molecular species of anthocyanins in plants, they can be applied to simple and rapid analytical techniques to distinguish molecular species in terms of crop breeding and consumption demand. By using PESI/MS/MS, the comprehensive analysis of not only anthocyanins but also various plant metabolites of crops (sugars, organic acids, amino acids, glucosinolates, etc.) and foods can be dramatically simplified and accelerated. There are no complicated extraction or separation procedures are required, and 81 anthocyanins can be analyzed in only 3 minutes.

Cultured meat has been hailed as a sustainable future meat production technology, which requires edible and scalable scaffolds to support cell growth. Plant proteins are the most promising raw materials for edible scaffolds but remain underutilized. This technology involves the use of proteins from various grains to produce porous scaffolds and microbeads for cultured meat application. The scaffolds and microbeads could be easily developed with superior properties suitable for cell growth. The plant protein scaffolds and microbeads demonstrate promising potential in providing nutritional value and unique textural characteristics, highlighting the viability of cereal prolamin in promoting cultured meat production. The scaffolds and microbeads can be used for cultured meat producers to support animal cell growth. Since the raw materials and fabrication processes are food-grade, they can be seamlessly integrated into the final meat product without the need for an additional cell-detachment process. Materials are also protein-based, which contributes to the total protein content of the end-product. Materials used for scaffolds and microbeads Zein from corn Hordein from barley Secalin from rye Kafirin from sorghum. The scaffolds and microbeads have been tested on and shown healthy growth of: Porcine satellite cells Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells Bovine satellite cells Chicken satellite cells Performance of the microcarriers tested in a spinner flask bioreactor were comparable in doubling time and adhesion rate to commercially available microcarriers (values for commercially available microcarriers obtained from literature). Scaffolds also resulted in increased integrin expression and differentiation of myoblast cell lines. The edible plant protein-based scaffolds and microbeads can be used for cultivated meat production by supporting cell growth and maturation. These microbeads and scaffolds also will impart the end-product with desirable food-related characteristics, such as improved texture and flavour, as well as nutritional value in the form of increased protein content.
