Plasticizers and the water migration of edible protein films during storage can result in changes in film properties, while specific changing processes need to be further explored. In this study, glycerol-plasticized soy protein isolate (SPI) films were stored at 25 °C, 4 °C, and -18 °C for 6 weeks (relative humidity (RH), 40-50%). The glycerol migration was monitored by the glycerol migration rate and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Water content, low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were used to analyze the water state. The results showed that significant pores and cracks were observed after storage at 25 °C. The proportion of bound water gradually increased, and the glycerol migration rate also reached 1.3% and 0.7% at 25 °C and 4 °C, respectively. The results proved that increasing the storage temperature accelerated the loss of water and glycerol, and decreased the mechanical properties of the SPI film.

Actin-bundling protein Fascin1 (FSCN1) is encoded by the gene and is crucial for cytoskeletal remodeling and cellular migration. Although a previous study linked deficiency to neonatal lethality in mice, the underlying metabolic mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we report that systemic knockout (KO) of leads to 52.

In this paper, the effects of konjac glucomannan (KGM) on the stability, microstructure, water distribution, rheological properties, and co-loading capacity of Pickering double emulsions (PDEs) stabilized by polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR) and xanthan gum/lysozyme nanoparticles (XG/Ly NPs) was studied in detail. It showed that KGM provided a network structure for the outer water phase, which limited the agglomeration of oil droplets, reduced the droplets size, and improved the storage and freeze-thaw stability of PDEs. With the increase of KGM concentration, water migration in PDEs was inhibited and viscoelasticity increased.

This study investigates the potential of rapeseed meal (RM), a protein-rich by-product of the rapeseed oil industry, as a raw material for the development of renewable materials. Due to the presence of antinutritional compounds, rapeseed meal is underutilized, primarily in low-value applications such as animal feed. In this work, rapeseed meal protein hydrolysates were enzymatically obtained and incorporated as plasticizers into rapeseed meal-based materials to improve their mechanical properties, water permeability, and thermal stability.

Background: Bladder cancer (BCa) remains clinically challenging due to high recurrence rates. As an endocannabinoid, 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) plays a pivotal role in regulating numerous physiological and pathological processes, including tumorigenesis. The maintenance of its levels in the biological system is essential for 2-AG to exert its biological functions.
