Cold plasma-induced ovalbumin amyloid fibrils: Morphological characteristics and stability on astaxanthin-loaded high internal phase emulsions.

The morphological characteristics of cold plasma (CP)-induced ovalbumin (OVA) amyloid fibrils (OAFs) and their ability to stabilize astaxanthin-loaded high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) were investigated. The results indicated that CP treatment significantly accelerated OVA fibrillization by inducing its globular structure unfolding and polypeptide cleavage, leading to the rapid formation of short, worm-like fibrils within 10 min of fibrillation. Compared to untreated OVA, which had a diameter of 18.

Experimental and modeling investigation of long-term leachability of nickel in re-molded cement-stabilized sediments.

The environmental impact of recycling waste sediments as construction materials has raised significant concerns, particularly regarding the long-term leachability of heavy metals. This study investigates the leaching behavior of nickel (Ni) in cement-stabilized sediments through tank leaching tests and modeling approaches. Considering the practical construction scenario, the effects of curing age and ambient pH on Ni release were examined, including the impact of crushing and re-molding processes.

Antigenicity elimination of ovalbumin by cold plasma-induced covalent binding with Gallic acid.

The effect of cold plasma (CP) treatment in promoting the covalent grafting of ovalbumin (OVA) with gallic acid (GA) were investigated, along with identifying the binding sites in the OVA-GA complex and exploring its potential for reducing the antigenicity of OVA. The results showed that the GA content of 22.97 ± 1.

Cold plasma for enhancing covalent conjugation of ovalbumin-gallic acid and its functional properties.

The utilization of cold plasma (CP) treatment to promote covalent conjugation of ovalbumin (OVA) and gallic acid (GA), as well as its functionality, were investigated. Results demonstrated that CP significantly enhanced the covalent grafting of OVA and GA. The maximum conjugation of GA, 24.

Preventing thermal aggregation of ovalbumin through dielectric-barrier discharge plasma treatment and enhancing its emulsification properties.

The impact of Dielectric-Barrier Discharge (DBD) plasma treatment on the prevention of heat-induced aggregation of Ovalbumin (OVA) and improvement in emulsification properties was investigated. Results highlighted the effective inhibition of thermal aggregation of OVA following exposure to plasma. Structural analysis revealed that the plasma-induced oxidation of sulfhydryl and intermolecular disulfide bonds played a pivotal role in inhibiting the thermal aggregation, considered by Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), multiplies spectroscopy, and analysis of dynamic exchange of sulfhydryl-disulfide bonds.

Stabilization/solidification and recycling of sediment from Taihu Lake in China: Engineering behavior and environmental impact.

Investigations of stabilized/solidified sediment (S/S sediment) by simulated field-construction processes (crushing and filling) are fundamental to evaluating the potential reuse as fill materials. A series of tests were conducted on the samples prepared from S/S sediment grains (SG), which was obtained by crushing the cement treated sediment. By sampling the SG with different field-curing durations (t1: 28, 35, 56 and 98 days) and measuring them by unconfined compressive strength (UCS) tests, the effect of t1 on the UCS was investigated.
