The mechanistic effects of on the textural properties of Tibetan pig sausages remain inadequately elucidated. We conducted a dose-response analysis using aqueous extraction (ZBAE) containing 36.97 mg GAE/g polyphenols, applied at concentrations from 0.125% to 1.20% in the meat paste. Optimal textural enhancement was achieved at 0.25% ZBAE, as proved by significantly improving water holding capacity (1.77% increase), hardness (139.87% increase), and gel strength (46.04% increase) relative to the control group ( < 0.05). Specifically, this concentration: (i) promoted protein molecular rearrangement of by enhancing hydrophobic interactions (33.33% increase) and hydrogen bonding (287.99% increase); (ii) induced conformational transitions from -helix (42.62% decrease) to -sheet formations (21.11% increase); and (iii) generated a homogeneous three-dimensional protein network characterized by a fractal dimension of 2.769 ± 0.006 and a porosity of 38.350 ± 0.333%. The addition of natural polyphenols from Z. may optimize the textural quality of processed meat products.

Streptococcus mutans, a key cause of dental caries, is not treated by conventional toothpaste, brushing, flossing, or antiseptic mouthwashes. This necessitates the development of enriched toothpaste. Cyanobacteria-derived phycoerythrin (PE) has antioxidant and antibacterial properties.

The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is critical to energy conversion technologies and requires efficient catalysts for superior performance. Herein, nitrogen-doped carbide-derived carbon (N-CDC) catalysts are prepared using novel engineered molecular architectures based on polymer-derived ceramic technology. The obtained catalyst materials show a surface N concentration of >5 wt % and a hierarchically porous structure, resulting in a specific surface area of over 2000 m g.

The growing consumer interest in functional and health-oriented foods prompted the incorporation of tartary buckwheat sprout flour (TBSF) into food production. The addition of TBSF enhanced the nutritional value of noodles. Research has shown that as the proportion of TBSF increased, both the water absorption rate and thermal stability of the dough improved, while formation time decreased and dough aging was inhibited.

This study aims at the establishment of a universally applicable etching methodology to unveil the nanoscale crystalline structure of the matrix resin in fiber reinforced thermoplastic (FRTP) composites scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The crystalline structure hierarchically consists of crystalline texture, spherulite and lamella. The details of these structures are key parameters to understand the relationship with the mechanical properties of the material for the advancement.

In this study, yak bone collagen peptide-tea polyphenol binding peptides (YCP/TP) were successfully prepared and investigated for their positive effects in replacing nitrite to improve the color, texture, flavor and bacterial community structure of fermented sausages. Results showed that YCP/TP primarily binds through hydrogen bond interactions, enhancing its stability and functional properties. The YCP/TP can effectively inhibit the increase in pH, protein carbonyls and TBARS (p < 0.
