A headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) followed by gas chromatography coupled to flame ionization detector (GC-FID) is developed for the direct determination of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) in wastewater from constructed wetlands. Through the investigation on extraction behavior of different coatings

Indigestible resistant starches (RS) are substrates for gut-microbial metabolism and have been shown to attenuate intestinal inflammation but the supporting evidence is inconsistent and lacks mechanistic explanation. We have recently reported dietary RS type 4 (RS4) induced improvements in immunometabolic
