Article Abstract

The effects of adding different phospholipid (PL) matrices [milk sphingomyelin (SM) vs soy phosphatidylcholine (PC)] on emulsion stability, microstructure, and in vitro simulated lipid digestion were examined using a Model Infant Formula Emulsion (MIFE). The emulsion stability of MIFE increased significantly with PL addition (0.1 and 0.2 %). Compared to sole MIFE or MIFE + PC, the incorporation of SM resulted in increased emulsion stability (p < 0.05) and a greater amount of free fatty acid release (p < 0.05) during in vitro simulated digestion. This was mainly due to the reduction of intensive droplet aggregation, thus providing a large surface area and improved digestibility. This is further experimentally supported by the evolution of particle size distribution, zeta-potential, and microstructure analysis using confocal laser scanning microscopy. The incorporation of SM in the emulsion formation significantly delayed digestion of β-lactoglobulin during in vitro digestion. Lipid digestibility in MIFE was altered depending on the type of PL matrix, and SM displayed a superior effect to PC. Thus, the creation of a novel emulsion interface by the appropriate selection of emulsifiers can be used to improve lipid digestion in infants and obtain desirable nutritional consequences.

With the acceleration of global industrialization, a large amount of polluted wastewater is discharged indiscriminately, which both pollutes the environment and threatens human health. In this study, by constructing a binary system of unsaturated polyester resin/carboxychitosan, and improving the inherent defects of carboxychitosan aerogel, we successfully prepared aerogels with high porosity, low density, and laminar porous structure for water remediation by using a combination of the sol-gel method and directional freezing technology. Thanks to the synergistic effect of surface wettability and special pore structure, the aerogel not only adsorbs and separates MB and Pb(II) efficiently with a separation efficiency of more than 99 %, but also has a separation efficiency of 99.

A key challenge in bone tissue engineering (BTE) is designing structurally supportive scaffolds, mimicking the native bone matrix, yet also highly porous to allow nutrient diffusion, cell infiltration, and proliferation. This study investigated the effect of scaffold interconnectivity on human bone marrow stromal cell (BMSC) behaviour. Highly interconnected, porous scaffolds (polyHIPEs) were fabricated using the emulsion templating method from 2-ethylhexyl acrylate/isobornyl acrylate (IBOA) and stabilised with ~200 nm IBOA particles.

At moderate protein concentrations (10, 20 mg/mL) and a high temperature (80 °C), meat protein (MP) self-assembled into weak gels and then intriguingly collapsed into microgels through continuous heating and annealing cooling, resulting in a sol state with exposed hydrophobic groups and disulfide bonds. The different prepared microgel groups were labeled as MP and MP, respectively. Compared with the control group (Con: 7.

Three-dimensional printing (3DP) technology enables the flexible fabrication of integrated monolithic microextraction chips for high-throughput sample pretreatment. Meanwhile, the extraction performance of 3DP-based channels is largely limited by printer resolution and the commercially available printing materials. In this work, a 3DP array monolithic microextraction chip (AMC) was fabricated by integrating 26-array helical monolithic microextraction channels for sample pretreatment and 52-array gas valves for fluid control.

Enhancing hydrophobic bioactives' bioaccessibility remains challenging in functional foods due to instability and insufficient controlled-release ability in conventional protein-polysaccharide carriers. We pioneer a new interaction model by covalently grafting corn stover cellulose nanofibers (CNF) with Zein using N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethyl carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS), creating conjugates with gradient grafting degrees (CNF/Zein 0.5, CNF/Zein 1, and CNF/Zein 2).
