Standard Palm Oil (SPO) is widely used as a food ingredient partially due to its unique thermophysical properties. However, the American Heart Association recommends a saturated fat consumption of <5% of the caloric intake per day. The Palm hybrid yields oil known as "palm oil with a higher content of oleic acid" (HOPO), with <35% SFA and >50% oleic acid.

In the current study, the ADME assessment of TSA was explored in terms of its binding affinity for serum protein spectroscopic and molecular docking techniques. Fluorescence spectroscopy was used to examine changes in the protein microenvironment, and affinity was quantified in terms of binding constant and stoichiometry.

Upon prolonged hemodialysis, it involves accumulation of toxic β2-microglobulin (β2m) amyloids in bones and joints. Current treatment methods are plagued with high cost, low specificity, and low capacity.

Underwater shockwave processing (USP) is a non-thermal food processing method where a high-energy impulse is generated near a food product submerged in a liquid. The resulting shockwave transfers energy to the food, and is used to improve quality, safety, and nutritional aspects. This review presents the origin and evolution of the technology, principles of shockwave generation, mechanism of action, and applications in the food industry.

Osmolytes are known for osmoprotectants and play a pivotal role in protein folding, function and protein stability, thus, preventing proteins aggregation, and counteracting effects of denaturing solutes on proteins. Osmolytes (viz.
