Thermal stability and antioxidant ability of γ-oryzanol in oil have been widely studied. However, further research is needed to explore its thermal degradation products and degradation pathways. The thermal degradation products of γ-oryzanol in stripped soybean oil were identified and quantified by employing high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) during heating at 180 °C. The results revealed that γ-oryzanol undergoes ester bond cleavage to form -ferulic acid and free sterols, and -ferulic acid generated intermediate compound 4-vinylguaiacol, which ultimately generated vanillin. Analysis of kinetic and thermodynamic parameters revealed the thermal stability ranking of the four components of γ-oryzanol as follows: CampFA > CAFA > 24MCAFA > SitoFA. Furthermore, γ-oryzanol exhibited superior antioxidant activity at lower temperatures. The results of this study provide a theoretical basis for a better understanding of the thermal stability and antioxidant properties of γ-oryzanol in oil under thermal oxidation conditions.

Incubation temperature affects both growth and energy metabolism in birds after hatching. Changes in cellular mechanisms, including mitochondrial function, are a likely but unexplored explanation for these effects. To test whether temperature-dependent changes to mitochondria may link embryonic development to the post-natal phenotype, we incubated Japanese quail eggs at constant low (36.

This study investigates the HO and CO sorption behavior of two chemically distinct polystyrene-divinylbenzene-based ion exchange sorbents: a primary amine and a permanently charged strong base quaternary ammonium (QA) group with (bi)carbonate counter anions. We compare their distinct interactions with HO and CO through simultaneous thermal gravimetric, calorimetric, gas analysis, and molecular modeling approaches to evaluate their performance for dilute CO separations like direct air capture. Thermal and hybrid (heat + low-temperature hydration) desorption experiments demonstrate that the QA-based sorbent binds both water and CO more strongly than the amine counterparts but undergoes degradation at moderate temperatures, limiting its compatibility with thermal swing regeneration.

Tires are complex polymeric materials composed of rubber elastomers (both natural and synthetic), fillers, steel wire, textiles, and a range of antioxidant and curing systems. These constituents are distributed differently among the various tire parts, which are classified based on their function and proximity to the rim. This study presents a rapid and sensitive approach for the characterization of tire components using mild thermal desorption/pyrolysis (TDPy) coupled to direct analysis in real-time mass spectrometry (DART-MS).

Global warming causes heat stress in livestock, impairing their health, welfare, and productivity. In bovines, chronic stress elevates cortisol levels; however, this response often goes undetected due to the lack of practical biomatrices for accurate assessment. Common biomatrices such as blood require repeated sampling that may affect measurement accuracy.

Amyloid materials are formed from the aggregation of single proteins, yet contain polymorphisms where bulk properties are defined by a composition of multiple fibril types. Though desirable as a sustainable material, little is known about how various fibril types survive at high temperatures or in nonpolar solvents due to their highly similar molecular and nanoscale features. Here, we demonstrate that in situ two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy (2DIR), when paired with nanoscale microscopy, can determine the transition temperature of amyloid subpopulations without the use of labels.
