As an important carrier of traditional Chinese culture, intangible cultural heritage (ICH) handicrafts embody unique cultural connotations and emotional resonance in food packaging.However, current applications of ICH often suffer from superficial cultural connotations, static packaging presentation, and limited interactive engagement.This study focuses on the cultural connotations of ICH crafts and aligns it with the aesthetic principles of contemporary food packaging design.It proposes a three -tiered integration strategy comprising cultural perception -interactive experience -emotional belonging, supported by a systematic design methodology encompassing symbol reconstruction, media adaptation, and emotional embedding.By employing intelligent visual technologies such as generative AI (AIGC ), augmented reality (AR), and digital design tools, the study implements a practical food packaging design to verify the feasibility of the proposed integration strategy.

Mulberry leaves serve as important raw materials with both medicinal and edible properties, rich in a variety of nutritional active ingredients. Processed mulberry leaf tea has antioxidant, hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, anti-inflammatory, and other physiological functions, positioning it as a hot spot of research in the health food sector. Withering, fixation, fermentation, drying, stress treatment, and other processing techniques significantly affect the flavor quality, as well as the types and content of nutritional active ingredients of mulberry leaf tea, thereby affecting the nutritional quality and health benefits of the product. This study focuses on the effects of processing techniques such as withering, fixation, fermentation, drying, and stress treatment on the sensory quality and nutritional active ingredients of mulberry leaf tea, while also outlining prospects for optimizing mulberry leaf tea processing technology and advancing the development of functional products.

The distinctive flavor profile of marinated meat products originates from thermally induced transformations of endogenous precursor substances and the synergistic effects of exogenous spices. The flavor formation mechanisms encompass multiple pathways, including oxidation and degradation of proteins and lipids, as well as Maillard reactions driven by related secondary metabolites. This review systematically investigates the compositional characteristics and regulatory mechanisms of flavor compounds in marinated meat products, with a focus on how volatile and non-volatile substances collaboratively form the flavor basis, the main sources of flavor constituents, and how processing parameters (e.g., temperature, duration, and braising cycles) influence flavor intensity and stability by regulating reaction kinetics. The potential mechanisms of flavor formation in marinated meat products are summarized to provide a theoretical reference for flavor optimization and standardized production.

［Objective］ To compare the effects of three cryoprotectants on the freezing resistance improvement of shrimp paste.［Methods］ Shrimp paste samples are prepared.After three consecutive freeze -thaw cycles,the following indicators are determined in the samples:gel strength,energy storage modulus,salt -soluble protein content,sulfhydryl group content,viscosity,and microstructure,to compare the quality change of shrimp paste added with trehalose,sorbitol,and cod scale collagen peptide after repeated frozen -thaw.［Results］］ The gel strength and sulfhydryl group content in the cod scale collagen peptide group are higher than those in the trehalose and sorbitol group,with smoother structures and more uniform pore sizes.Besides,the viscosity of the cod scale collagen peptide group is significantly higher than that of the trehalose and sorbitol groups.［Conclusion］ The addition of cod scale collagen peptide can significantly inhibit the protein denaturation during freeze -thaw of shrimp paste,improving freezing resistance.

As the wine industry evolves and consumer demand for quality perception intensifies, the sensory evaluation methods heavily reliant on human experience are increasingly limited by subjectivity and lack of standardization. In this context, evaluation frameworks integrating multimodal sensory data fusion and artificial intelligence (AI) modeling have emerged as a promising frontier in wine flavor assessment. This review provides a comprehensive overview of major sensory data acquisition techniques, including electronic nose, electronic tongue, near-infrared spectroscopy, image analysis, and chromatography-mass spectrometry. It further examines the application characteristics of early, middle, and late fusion strategies in flavor modeling, and evaluates the strengths of AI algorithms in wine flavor recognition and quality prediction. Despite these advancements, key challenges remain, such as difficult integration of heterogeneous data, limited model generalizability, and the absence of standardized sensory lexicons. Finally, the review outlines future directions including preference-driven intelligent evaluation, standardized flavor map development, and real-time detection platforms.
