This study examined the effect of succinylation on protein oxidation-aggregation and the formation of off-flavors in heated egg yolks (EYs). The sensory evaluation, content of volatile compounds, stability of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles, and oxidation of lipid and protein at six levels of succinylated EY (0.25%, 0.

Radio frequency (RF) heating as an emerging technology was applied to improve drying quality of cereals effectively. The effects of HA-RF drying (50 °C, 70 °C, 90 °C) of corn kernels on the morphology, structure, and physicochemical properties of starch were investigated and compared with HA drying.

Our prior work had revealed that WD repeat-containing protein 72 (WDR72) was crucial for osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs. Here, we further elucidated its underlying mechanism in PDLSC osteogenic differentiation.

Methods: The expression levels of circ_0049396, miR-663b, and theuridylate-specific endoribonuclease (ENDOU) were assessed by quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR).
This study aimed to investigate the role of stability of low density lipoprotein (LDL) spherical particles as well as oxidation of lipids and proteins on formation of off-odor in heated egg yolk (EY). Off-odor attributes and volatile components of EY with different thermal temperature (25 °C-90 °C) were investigated by sensory evaluation, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and GC-ion mobility spectrometry (IMS). The off-flavor and volatile compounds increased significantly when EY were heated at 60 °C-65 °C.
