Light Exposure Predominantly Drives Volatile Profile Changes in Royal Jelly During Short-Term Storage as Revealed by GC-IMS.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Royal jelly, a nutrient-rich bee product characterized by high water content and active components, is particularly susceptible to quality deterioration during storage. While temperature effects have been extensively documented, the specific role of light exposure in quality degradation remains largely unexplored. despite its relevance during production, handling, transportation, and display. This study systematically investigated the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of royal jelly under different storage conditions using gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) combined with fingerprint analysis. Results from dual-column validation demonstrated that even short-term light exposure at 25 °C induced pronounced alterations in VOC profiles, triggering the accumulation of off-flavor aldehydes (e.g., hexanal, nonanal) and ketones, along with 2-furfural generated via Maillard reaction. Concurrently, characteristic fresh-aroma esters and alcohols were significantly depleted. Multivariate statistical analysis confirmed light exposure as the predominant factor driving quality deterioration, with temperature variation under dark conditions producing comparatively minor effects within the same short timeframe. This work provides the first systematic evidence establishing insights into early volatile changes in royal jelly and identifies key VOC markers that offer valuable insights for optimizing storage strategies and developing rapid quality monitoring protocols.
