Article Abstract
Hot extrusion is utilized for starch modification due to its high mechanical input and product output. Amylose recrystallization commences and primarily depends on intermolecular interactions after conventional extrusion. Hence, the design of a new component based on the existed extrusion system was aimed at facilitating molecular aggregation, potentially accelerating starch recrystallization. In this study, a nozzle sheet comprising 89 holes was integrated into the cooling die. The impact of the multihole nozzle on the structure and in vitro digestibility of extruded maize starches after retrogradation was examined at varying cooling die temperatures. The results showed that the nozzle-assembled extrusion system operated effectively without additional mechanical or yield losses. At 50 °C, the crystallinity of nozzle-produced starch was approximately 70 % higher than that of conventionally extruded starch, predominantly owing to the B-type allomorph of the amylose double helix. Recrystallized amylopectin was also found in these nozzle-produced starches, indicating that multihole nozzle-induced uniaxial elongational flow resulted in the rapid starch crystallization. The increased formation of recrystallized amylose led to improved molecular order in starch structures while reducing their digestibility. These findings revealed a new approach to improve starch crystallinity by incorporating a nozzle sheet in the extrusion process.

Currently, on-demand treatment of pain (both chronic and acute) is primarily achieved using opioids that are delivered systemically. Unfortunately, these drugs are highly addictive; over 5 people per hour die from opioid abuse in the US alone. A safer, nonsystemic mechanism for pain relief is therefore needed.

Ceramic coatings have recently found applications as efficient hydrogen permeation barriers (HPBs) in the development of hydrogen and nuclear energy. Finding a simple method to increase hydrogen permeation resistance is essential for HPB applications. Herein, we fabricated an ultrathin zirconia (ZrO) coating using a facile sol-gel technique and increased its hydrogen permeation resistance via yttrium (Y) dopant tuning.

Graphite films with large grain sizes have been reportedly obtained by using metal as catalysts, but the obtained graphite is mostly heavily wrinkled, thus containing defects that degrade its properties. We report the synthesis of mirror-like and large-grained graphite films with only a few nano kinks and controllable dimensions, achieved by using flat Ni-Mo alloy melts of the same lateral dimensions as the metal foils used to make this alloy melt. The graphite film exhibited few nano kinks and a mirror-like appearance because the deliberate evaporation of much of the Ni produced a porous substrate, which in turn dramatically weakened the substrate-graphite film interaction before cooling.

High-moisture extrusion (HME) is a promising technique for developing fibrous plant-based meat analogues. In HME, protein-water formulations are passed through a heated twin-screw barrel before solidifying in a cooling die, where complex physicochemical transformations occur, making process optimization challenging. Traditional approaches like Response Surface Methodology (RSM) require extensive trials and rely on predefined polynomial models, limiting predictive power.

Drunk driving is a major threat to global traffic safety, accounting for 50% to 60% of traffic accidents. To address the bottleneck problem of insufficient selectivity of metal oxide gas sensors in drunk driving detection, this paper proposes an optimization strategy based on the principle of selective extraction and programmed temperature desorption technology. This strategy uses temperature modulation to control the adsorption processes of target gases, solving the cross-interference problem between ethanol and other volatile organic compounds in exhaled breath.
