The interfacial complexation between goose liver protein (GLP) and oily dispersed curcumin in impacting the protein interfacial dynamics and high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) stabilization was validated. Results from surface hydrophobicity, size, atomic force microscopy, and fluorescence quenching showed that pre-ultrasonication (100 W, 300 W and 500 W) conduced to pronounced heterogeneous hydrophobic interaction that elevated GLP adsorption and association at the interface. The synergistic curcumin complexation with medium ultrasonication (300 W) maximized GLP interfacial deposition and elasticity (11.

- Rain-source urban rivers, such as the Longgang River in Shenzhen, are crucial to urban ecosystems but face significant pollution challenges due to economic development and limited environmental capacity.
- A study conducted throughout 2018 assessed water quality from 12 sampling locations using 22 indicators based on the Environmental Quality Standard for Surface Water, with findings indicating that most locations met or exceeded Class V standards.
- While some rivers like Longxi and Nanyue showed better water quality, others require improvements, particularly concerning nutrients and organic matter, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and management strategies.
