Unveiling the effect of natural deep eutectic solvents-based date seed polyphenolic extract on the properties of chitosan-PVA films and its application in shrimp packaging.

This study explored natural deep eutectic solvent-based polyphenolic extract from date fruit seed as a functional and bioactive compound in chitosan-poly(vinyl)alcohol (CSPVA) films. Various concentrations of the extract (1.5 %, 2 %, 2.

Impact of Air-Drying Temperatures on Drying Kinetics, Physicochemical Properties, and Bioactive Profile of Ginger.

Ginger ( Roscoe) is a perishable commodity that requires proper processing to maintain its bioactivity. This study evaluated the effect of different air-drying temperatures (50 °C, 60 °C, and 70 °C) on ginger's drying kinetics and quality attributes. For an enhanced understanding of the drying kinetics, we employed a detailed approach by combining an existing drying model (namely, Midilli) with the Arrhenius model.

New insights into antibubble formation by single drop impact on a same-liquid pool.

Hypothesis: Secondary drops (SDs) generated when falling drops impact a same-liquid bath can potentially generate antibubbles. Different mechanisms of antibubble formation can be identified and their size and formation probability (P) can be predicted.

Experiments: Surfactant solutions were dropped from various heights using a highly stable pulseless microfluidic pump in a same-liquid bath.

Triple-Emulsion-Based Antibubbles: A Step Forward in Fabricating Novel Multi-Drug Delivery Systems.

Developing carriers capable of efficiently transporting both hydrophilic and lipophilic payloads is a captivating focus within the pharmaceutical and drug delivery research domain. Antibubbles, constituting an innovative encapsulation system designed for drug delivery purposes, have garnered scientific interest thanks to their distinctive water-in-air-in-water (W/A/W) structure. However, in contrast to their precursor, i.

Ginger Bioactives: A Comprehensive Review of Health Benefits and Potential Food Applications.

Ginger is an herbaceous and flowering plant renowned for its rhizome, which is widely employed as both a spice and an herb. Since ancient times, ginger has been consumed in folk medicine and traditional cuisines for its favorable health effects. Different in vitro and in vivo studies have disclosed the advantageous physiological aspects of ginger, primarily due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anti-carcinogenic properties.

Preparation of acid-responsive antibubbles from CaCO-based Pickering emulsions.

Hypothesis: Hydrophobized fumed silica particles were previously reported for producing antibubbles that are quite stable in neutral as well as in acidic media. To produce acid-responsive antibubbles (e.g.

Encapsulation Properties of Leaf Extracts Prepared Using an Ultrasound-Assisted Double Emulsion Method.

Double emulsions (W/O/W) have long been used in the food and pharmaceutical industries to encapsulate hydrophobic and hydrophilic drugs and bioactive compounds. This study investigated the effect of different types of emulsifiers (plant- vs. animal-based proteins) on the encapsulation properties of leaf extract (MLE) prepared using the double emulsion method.

Advances in antibubble formation and potential applications.

Antibubbles are unusual physical objects consisting of a liquid core(s) surrounded by a thin air film/shell while in a bulk liquid. Antibubbles carry two air-liquid interfaces, i.e.

Role of fruits in aging and age-related disorders.

Aging is a collection of changes that contribute to decline in maximum function and ultimately death of an organism. This process is controlled and initiated by several mechanisms including telomere shortening, oxidative stress, AMP-activated protein kinase and sirt-1. Several therapies have been reported to relieve the process of aging.

Droplet breakup mechanisms in premix membrane emulsification and related microfluidic channels.

Premix membrane emulsification (PME) is a pressure driven process of droplet breakup, caused by their motion through membrane pores. The process is widely used for high-throughput production of sized-controlled emulsion droplets and microparticles using low energy inputs. The resultant droplet size depends on numerous process, membrane, and formulation factors such as flow velocity in pores, number of extrusions, initial droplet size, internal membrane geometry, wettability of pore walls, and physical properties of emulsion.

Modelling and kinetic study of microwave assisted drying of ginger and onion with simultaneous extraction of bioactive compounds.

Onion and ginger are rich sources of bioactive compounds which are lost during conventional drying process. The present study was designed to optimize the novel Microwave Assisted Drying and Extraction technique (MADE) for simultaneous drying and extraction/recovery of bioactive compounds from model food products. The time required for drying of samples was 11 (onion) and 16 (ginger) minutes with recovery yield of 87% (onion) and 85% (ginger).
