Change in Sunflower Oil Quality and Safety Depending on Number of Deodorisation Cycles Used.

Deodorisation remains a beneficial aspect of the processing of edible oils and fats and is required during the first refining and after transportation, storage, and/or further processing, such as interesterification. While there is awareness among the scientific community that repeated deodorisation may negatively impact product quality, according to some technical and processing requirements, oils, fats, and their blends can still be treated with up to 3-4 cycles of deodorisation. However, the precise changes caused by sequential deodorising processes remain unknown.

[Estimation of gammaaminobutyric acid intake from the human diet].

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is an endogenous bioactive compound with essential properties for the normal functioning of the human nervous system.

Nonreciprocal collective magnetostatic wave modes in geometrically asymmetric bilayer structure with nonmagnetic spacer.

Nonreciprocity, inequivalence in amplitudes and frequencies of spin waves propagating in opposite directions, is a key property underlying functionality in prospective magnonic devices. Here we demonstrate experimentally and theoretically a simple approach to induce frequency nonreciprocity in a magnetostatically coupled ferromagnetic bilayer structure with a nonmagnetic spacer by its geometrical asymmetry. Using Brillouin light scattering, we show the formation of two collective spin wave modes in FeGa/Cu/FeGa structure with different thicknesses of ferromagnetic layers.

[The modification of methodological approaches for potential hazard identification of inadvertent chemicals in food].

The existing methodological approaches for hazard identification and selection of priority hazard contaminants in foodstuff for further health risk assessment and legislation (in case of need) do not represent the reasons of inclusion inadvertent chemical substances in a number of priority for health risk assessment. The absence both of complex assessment and potential hazard categories of contaminants do not allow to assess the urgency of health risk assessment. Thus, it's advisable to expand the existing methodological approaches with the criteria of selection of hazard inadvertent chemical substances in food.

Foam Polymers in Multifunctional Insulating Coatings.

The application of foamed polymers as one of the components of insulating coatings allows to solve the problems of energy saving and creation of optimal operating conditions for constructions. The systems of application of energy-efficient heat-insulating materials must consider both the particularities of the insulating materials and the functional orientation of the constructions. The implementation of the concept of seamless insulating coatings implies the achievement of thermal effect and reduction in air permeability both by means of the application of thermal insulation with low thermal conductivity and the minimization of junctions between separate elements of the insulating coating, which is achieved using elastic foamed polymers and, first of all, polyethylene foam.

We show that the doping type and concentration alter the shape of luminescence spectra.

[Alkaline transesterification CG-MS/MS method of monochlorpropanediol and glycidyl esters' determination in some edible fats, oils and fat blends on Russian market].

Monochlorpropanediol fatty acid esters (MCPDE) and glycidyl fatty acid esters (GE) are mainly considered to be processing contaminants and their concentration can rise during high temperature refining and deodorization of edible oils. Free forms formed during digestive hydrolysis of esters such as 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD), 2-MCPD and glycidol can provoke a negative effect on human health. Therefore the quantitative determination of MCPDE and GE in edible oils, fats and fat blends is needed.

[Ways of nutritional value increasing of distillary grain fiber].

In the process of grain processing for ethyl alcohol, practically only carbohydrates are consumed, which are presented mainly in the form of starch. The remaining components (protein, fats, fiber, minerals) in transit pass into the grain fiber remaining after distillation of the alcohol from the mash. Distillery grain fiber surpasses wheat bran in its indicators, since during the processing it is enriched with biomass of alcohol yeast.

[Influence of antioxidants in native and micelled forms on the shelf life of the emulsion fat product].

Emulsion fat products due to the presence of the aqueous phase are more prone to oxidative damage than pure oils and fats, which requires the use of antioxidants. Based on a social request for the use of natural antioxidants in the food industry, tocopherols, their mixtures, as well as ascorbic acid are widespread. However, most natural antioxidants (vitamins, plant extracts) have lower antioxidant activity in fats than synthetic ones and require more incorporation into the product, which can negatively affect its organoleptic properties and the cost of the finished emulsion fat product.

Several photonic platforms, including the well-developed silicon-on-insulator and surface-plasmon polaritons ones, operate well mostly in the IR region. However, operating in the visible region is challenging because of the drawbacks originating from absorption or sophisticated fabrication technology.

[Modern approaches to the development of gluten-free bakery formulations].

Unlabelled: According to WHO, currently about 1% of the world's population suffers from celiac disease, a disease associated with a deficiency of enzymes that break down gluten and proteins close to it. In celiac disease, there is a malabsorption of disaccharides, fats, vitamins and amino acids, which imposes restrictions on food formulations that can be used in the diet of people with celiac disease. Analysis of the market of gluten-free bakery products showed a lack in this segment of products, including the complete absence of products with ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), the total deficit of which is noted in the diet of Russians and around the world.
