Article Abstract

The objective of this study is to examine how plasma-activated water (PAW) affects the formation of complexes between wheat starch (WS) and lauric acid (LA) during extrusion. The findings from various analysis, including complexing index, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry, revealed that PAW promoted the formation of WS-LA complexes during extrusion, resulting in a better long-range and short-range ordered structure, as well as higher gelatinization enthalpy. Consequently, PAW led to lower solubility, swelling power, gel property, and rapidly digestible starch content but higher resistant starch content. Notably, the promotional impact of PAW60 (distilled water underwent plasma treatment for 60 s) was greater than PAW120 (distilled water underwent plasma treatment for 120 s) and PAW180 (distilled water underwent plasma treatment for 180 s). This study provides an efficacious technique to enhance the formation of starch complexes, being of great value in starch-based functional foods.

Over 1200 heavy feedlot cattle presented with severe tongue lesions during a 7-month interval. Review of the literature and discussions with colleagues revealed previous similar outbreaks had occurred in Canada and the USA, with extensive investigations conducted and no cause identified. In the current outbreak, examination of the environment, feed, water, cattle behavior, and husbandry systems were conducted, as well as diagnostic testing including necropsy, histopathology, bacteriology, virology, and toxicology.

Background: To improve the molecular diagnostic yield for Aspergillus spp. from respiratory samples, we developed and evaluated a new DNA extraction method directly from respiratory samples combined with in-house Aspergillus real-time PCR.

Methods: We developed a method using beads and resin, where a sample is centrifuged to separate the supernatant and pellet.

Phytosterols are a class of natural steroids found in various plants. Commercially available phytosterols (PS) are primarily extracted from the deodorized distillate of soybean oil and consist predominantly of β-sitosterol with smaller amounts of stigmasterol and campesterol. Numerous studies have consistently demonstrated the significant lipid-lowering activity of PS.

Changes in consumption patterns, urbanization, and industrialization have led to the generation of large volumes of municipal solid waste (MSW), posing threats to environmental sustainability. This study aimed to compost the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) using three composting methods: windrow (WC), pit (PC), and drum composting (DC). Distilled water was used in compost preparation and sample analysis.
