- Ready-to-eat snacks are popular but often low in protein and nutrients; this study aimed to enhance corn extrudates by adding chickpea grit.
- Corn extrudates with 100 g/kg chickpea showed a 66.66% increase in protein and improved fiber content, but some physical properties like expansion ratio decreased.
- The fortified extrudates had better health benefits and were more acceptable to taste testers, suggesting that chickpea addition could help address malnutrition issues.
Article Synopsis
- Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk has traditionally focused on lowering LDL cholesterol, but this review highlights the significance of hypertriglyceridaemia as another critical risk factor.
- Despite treating patients with LDL-lowering therapies, high triglyceride levels continue to pose a risk for ASCVD, especially when paired with low HDL cholesterol levels.
- Recent studies show mixed results regarding triglyceride-lowering medications, with purified eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) showing promise, suggesting the need for updated clinical guidelines and further investigation into novel therapies targeting other ASCVD risk factors.
Hybridization of metal-organic frameworks and MXenes: Expanding horizons in supercapacitor applications.
Adv Colloid Interface Sci
October 2024
Article Synopsis
- Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and MXenes are advanced materials with excellent physical and chemical properties, making them suitable for use in electrochemical energy storage (EES) applications.
- MOFs have high specific surface areas and customizable pores, but their low conductivity limits their practical use, while integrating them with conductive materials like MXenes can enhance conductivity.
- The review explores the structural characteristics and synthesis methods of MOF@MXene hybrids, highlighting their superior electrochemical performance for supercapacitors and discussing current challenges and future directions for optimizing these composites.
