The preparation of edible water-soluble films comprising κ-carrageenan/carboxymethyl starch/gum ghatti and their application in instant coffee powder packaging.

This study successfully prepared an edible packaging film that rapidly dissolves in water by utilizing a combination of κ-carrageenan, carboxymethyl starch, and gum ghatti. We investigated the influence of these three materials on the microstructure and physical properties of the film, as well as the impact of the film's dissolution on the stability of beverages. SEM, FTIR, and XRD analyses revealed that the κ-carrageenan, carboxymethyl starch, and gum ghatti primarily interacted through hydrogen bonding, resulting in a more uniform and dense film structure.

Effect of increased pCO and temperature on the phytoplankton community in the coastal of Yellow Sea.

In order to study the dynamics of marine phytoplankton communities in response to anticipated in temperature and CO, a shipboard continuous culture experiment (Ecostat) was conducted. The experiment involved simulations under current atmospheric CO concentrations (400 ppm) and projected year-2100 CO levels (1000 ppm), as well as varying temperature under present (22 °C) versus increased temperature (26 °C) in the Yellow Sea during the summer of 2020. The results showed that both the increased pCO and temperature had significant effects on microphytoplankton and picophytoplankton, with the warming effect proving to be more significant.

A sum of 156 species were identified in the BS and YS, including Bacillariophyta (69 species), Pyrrophyta (85 species) and Chrysophyta (2 species). The phytoplankton community were divided into four provinces according to Bray-Curtis similarity.

Sulfated Galactans from Agarophytes: Review of Extraction Methods, Structural Features, and Biological Activities.

Agarophytes are important seaweeds of the Rhodophyta type, which have been highly exploited for industrial use as sources of a widely consumed polysaccharide of agar. In addition to that, sulfated galactans (SGs) from agarophytes, which consist of various functional sulfate groups, have attracted the attention of scientists in current studies. SGs possess various biological activities, such as anti-tumor, anticoagulant, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-obesity, anti-diabetic, anti-microbial, anti-diarrhea, and gut microbiota regulation properties.

Impact of environmental variables on the distribution of phytoplankton communities in the Southern Yellow Sea.

To gain a comprehensive understanding of the seasonal variation in the structure of phytoplankton communities in the Southern Yellow Sea (SYS), two research expeditions were conducted from 12 to 24 in April 2019, and from 12 to 22 in October of 2019. During the spring season, the phytoplankton community within the SYS was primarily comprised of diatoms and dinoflagellates, while in autumn, diatoms and cyanobacteria dominated. Thalassiosira rotula and Paralia sulcata were the dominant species in both seasons.

Stellar initial mass function varies with metallicity and time.

Most structural and evolutionary properties of galaxies strongly rely on the stellar initial mass function (IMF), namely the distribution of the stellar mass formed in each episode of star formation. The IMF shapes the stellar population in all stellar systems, and so has become one of the most fundamental concepts of modern astronomy. Both constant and variable IMFs across different environments have been claimed despite a large number of theoretical and observational efforts.
