- Researchers created composite particles using whey protein isolate (WPI) and chitosan at two different temperatures, resulting in particles with varying sizes and structures, especially highlighting the larger size of the WPI/chitosan-95 particles.
- The WPI/chitosan-75 particles demonstrated better surface properties, such as higher hydrophobicity and lower viscosity compared to the WPI/chitosan-95 version, which gave them superior lubrication characteristics.
- The study found that WPI/chitosan-75 had a much lower friction coefficient than pure WPI particles, indicating its potential as an effective fat replacement and biolubricant, particularly in low-fat food emulsions.
This study was performed to examine the effect of two soy peptides addition with hydrolysis degrees of 90% and 30% (hydrolysis degree (DH)90, DH30) at various concentrations (1-10 mg/mL) on soy protein isolate (SPI) gel behavior and pure SPI gel was set as control. SPI gels with adding peptides were prepared, and their rheological, textural, and tribological properties, as well as water-holding capacity, zeta potential, and particle size, were determined. During the rheological measurement, adding peptides reduced storage modulus (G') compared to the control, with larger particles formed.

The investigation focused on assessing the effects of FG on the textural, rheological, and tribological properties of the resultant SPI gels. The results showed that adding a small amount of FG (0.

- Radiotherapy, while effective for cancer, can lead to serious heart complications years later, prompting the need for increased awareness among clinicians about cardiac side effects.
- A case study describes a young woman who experienced heart complications related to previous mediastinal radiotherapy, highlighting the long-term risks associated with this treatment.
- Physicians are urged to proactively manage cardiovascular risk factors and implement routine imaging for early detection of issues, emphasizing the importance of screening and preventive measures to mitigate radiation-induced heart damage.
