“…Furthermore, the species variability of sacsaoul and goji berry is also an important factor contributing to the difference in their photosynthetic sequestration capacity. Goji berry is a multi-stemmed shrub with single alternate or clustered leaves, mostly ovate, ovate-rhombic, and ovate-lanceolate, with a small photosynthetically effective area (Lei et al, 2021). Sacsaoul is a small tree with scale-like, broadly triangular leaves, and a large photosynthetically effective area (Gao et al, 2010).…”

Desert ecosystems are an important component of terrestrial ecosystems and land use change directly affects their composition and function. However, there have been few studies on how land use change impacts the carbon-land-water nexus in desert ecosystems. We studied the effects of replacing sacsaoul (Haloxylon ammodendron), a typical natural vegetation in the Qaidam basin, China, with artificially planted goji berry (Lycium barbarum L.) using the denitrification-decomposition (DNDC) model. Our results showed that DNDC model coefficient of determination (R 2 ) and Nash-Sutcliffe modelling efficiency (NSE) both reached 0.92 for sacsaoul and goji berry, and the root mean square error (RMSE) of the simulation was 495 kg ha À1 and 116 kg ha À1 for sacsaoul and goji berry, respectively.

“…Pharmacological studies have shown that polysaccharides, total phenols, total flavonoids, and other functional compounds in drying-processed wolfberries are immune-supportive, anti-tumorigenic, and have anti-aging effects [ 4 , 5 ]. The moisture content of ripe, fresh wolfberry fruit can reach more than 80%, and the fruit has a high sugar content and is sensitive to microbial deterioration, causing it to rot easily during harvest and storage [ 6 ]. Therefore, harvested fresh wolfberry must be dehydrated to a safe moisture content in a timely manner to facilitate subsequent transportation, storage, and processing.…”

To overcome the problems of a long conventional drying time, low energy efficiency, and poor product quality, a segmented drying approach was developed for fresh wolfberry (Lycium barbarum) using a radio frequency (RF)-hot air drying process, which was investigated under different parameters of plate spacing (80, 90, 100 mm), vacuum degree (0.015, 0.025, 0.035 Mpa), and hot air temperature (50, 55, 60 °C). Analysis of the wolfberry’s drying characteristics, comprehensive quality, and microstructure indicated that: combined drying was faster and less time-consuming than natural drying or hot air drying, and components such as polysaccharides, ascorbic acid, and betaine in wolfberries were effectively retained. Based on the acceptable drying rate, stable temperature application, and avoidance of arcing effects, the optimal combined segmented drying parameters were determined to be as follows: a plate spacing of 90 mm, vacuum degree of 0.025 MPa, and air temperature of 55 °C. For the dried wolfberries under these conditions, the total drying time was 17 h and the berries had an improved comprehensive quality, the content of total soluble sugars was 0.62 g/g, total phenol was 10.01 mg/g, total flavonoids was 2.60 mg/g, VC was 3.18 mg/100 g, betaine was 3.48%, oxidation resistance represented by an inhibition rate was 66.14%, color was better, and rehydration rate was 48.56%. The microstructure was more regular because of the special dielectric heating characteristics of RF vacuuming. Despite the differing drying characteristics of individual materials, the overall RF-hot air combined drying process was found to achieve high-quality dehydration of wolfberries.

“…The leaves of Lycium barbarum L. are abundant in active substances. For instance, flavonoids, phenolic acid, terpenoids, alkaloids, sterols and polysaccharides (Masci et al., 2018; Lei et al., 2022; Wang et al., 2022). And Lycium barbarum L. leaves flavonoids (LBLF) are the main phenolic compounds in nature (Li et al., 2022), with antioxidant, anti‐ageing, fat reduction and other effects (Chen et al., 2020; Liao et al., 2022; Niu et al., 2022).…”

Although β-carotene is an essential nutrient for the maintenance of human health, it is insoluble in water and extremely unstable, which limits its application. Here, we prepared a stable emulsification system of whey protein (WP)-Lycium barbarum L. leaves flavonoids (LBLF) complex as a carrier to load βcarotene. The rheological properties, antioxidant properties and stability of emulsion were studied, and the effects of emulsion on the biological retention of β-carotene and stability were investigated. The results indicate that, compared with WP, the WP-LBLF emulsion has smaller particles, a smaller creaming index, and significantly enhanced chemical stability under light and heat treatment conditions. The thiobarbituric acid value of the WP-LBLF emulsion (0.031 AE 0.016 mg/kg) was dramatically lower than that of the WP emulsion (0.045 AE 0.012 mg/kg) (P < 0.05). In the simulated gastrointestinal digestion experiment, the retention rate of β-carotene was higher in WP-LBLF emulsion. Additionally, the WP-LBLF emulsion loaded with β-carotene has good salt tolerance and heat stability. In our study, WP-LBLF was used as an emulsifier to load β-carotene emulsion to improve its bioavailability and stability, which provides a new preparation and application method for a complex functional emulsifier.
