Article Abstract

As an attractive alternative to the traditional autoclave curing process, microwave curing has been widely used for manufacturing high-performance composites. However, the nonuniform temperature distribution during composite curing is the main problem faced by the microwave curing process, which limits its application in the aerospace industry. This paper studied the regulating effects of cavity structure and mechanical optimization methods on the uniformity of the microwave field by numerical analysis and finite element simulation, and an octagonal microwave heating device with multi-microwave generators, mode stirrers and mobile platform was developed independently and the experimental verification were finally carried out. The results showed that compared with the traditional heating device, the T800/602 carbon fiber reinforced composite laminates cured in the regulating device of microwave heating uniformity established in this paper had more uniform temperature field distribution, a more synchronous curing process and lower residual stresses.

Influence of Cooking Methods on Phenolic Compounds and their Activities in Pea Shoots (Pisum sativum).

Plant Foods Hum Nutr

September 2025

Graduate School of Food and Nutritional Sciences, Toyo University, 48-1, Oka, 351-8501, Asaka, Saitama, Japan.

Pea shoots (Pisum sativum) are well known to have nutritional benefits when consumed raw; however, the effects of home cooking on their bioactive compounds remain unclear. Therefore, we investigated how different cooking methods affect the antioxidant activity and stability of antioxidants. Our evaluation revealed that antioxidant activity is preserved by steaming but significantly reduced by microwaving and boiling, which also causes weight loss during cooking.

This study systematically compared the effects of microwave (MW) and conventional thermal (CT) processing on microbial inactivation, enzyme activity, protein retention, and nutritional characteristics of bovine milk under pasteurization (70 °C for 20 s) and ultra-high temperature (UHT) sterilization conditions. Both technologies achieved effective microbial reduction (>4 log CFU/mL) for Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella spp., complying with EU and FDA safety standards.

This study evaluated the effectiveness of combining recyclable packaging materials in preserving the quality of microwave-treated chicken meat. Specifically, it assessed the combination of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polypropylene (PP) with modified atmosphere packaging (100% N and 60% CO:40% N). Quality parameters, such as cook loss, colour, microbiological stability, and sensory analysis, were monitored over 36 days.

Electrotechnology has recently emerged as an eco-friendly method for enhancing microalgal processes. Electric fields can be applied to microalgae at different stages to improve their biomass productivity, high-value products (HVPs) content, harvesting efficiency, and cell disruption for biomolecule recovery. Incorporating them into microalgal processes can significantly contribute to achieving a circular bioeconomy.
