Effect of compound dietary fiber of soybean hulls on the gel properties of myofibrillar protein and its mechanism in recombinant meat products.

Response surface methodology was used to determine the optimum ratio of rice husk dietary fiber, soybean hull dietary fiber, and inulin as 1.40, 1.42, and 3.

Graphene and its Derivatives-Based Optical Sensors.

Being the first successfully prepared two-dimensional material, graphene has attracted extensive attention from researchers due to its excellent properties and extremely wide range of applications. In particular, graphene and its derivatives have displayed several ideal properties, including broadband light absorption, ability to quench fluorescence, excellent biocompatibility, and strong polarization-dependent effects, thus emerging as one of the most popular platforms for optical sensors. Graphene and its derivatives-based optical sensors have numerous advantages, such as high sensitivity, low-cost, fast response time, and small dimensions.

Modulation of photothermal anisotropy using black phosphorus/rhenium diselenide heterostructures.

Manipulating the polarization of an incident beam using two-dimensional materials has become an important research direction towards the development of nano-optical devices. Black phosphorus (BP) and rhenium diselenide (ReSe2) possess excellent in-plane optical anisotropy with optical birefringence in the visible region, which has led to novel applications in polarizing optics and optoelectronics. Herein, the polarization-dependent absorption of BP and ReSe2 and a modulated pump beam is utilized to obtain the photothermal signal from them.

Microshell Arrays Enhanced Sensitivity in Detection of Specific Antibody for Reduced Graphene Oxide Optical Sensor.

Protein-protein interactions play an important role in the investigation of biomolecules. In this paper, we reported on the use of a reduced graphene oxide microshell (RGOM)-based optical biosensor for the determination of goat anti-rabbit IgG. The biosensor was prepared through a self-assembly of monolayers of monodisperse polystyrene microspheres, combined with a high-temperature reduction, in order to decorate the RGOM with rabbit IgG.
