Thermostable conformational transition unfavorable to the foaming stability of ovalbumin: Emphasizing structure and function relationship.

Storage of shell eggs converts natural ovalbumin (N-OVA) into its more thermostable forms (S-OVA). This conversion may be associated with deterioration in the foaming properties of the stored shell egg. Thus, the foaming behavior of N-OVA and S-OVA, especially their performance at different pH conditions, was conducted.

Enhancement of the formation and stability of low-fat Pickering emulsion gels stabilized with egg yolk granules-chitosan complex: Insights into the development of mayonnaise substitutes.

This study employed egg yolk granules (EYG) in combination with chitosan (CS) to evaluate the feasibility of constructing low-fat Pickering emulsion gels and investigated the properties of emulsion gels with different oil volume fractions (0-50 %) to address the stability issue. The results showed that the self-supporting structure of the emulsion gels gradually increased at 0-40 % oil phase, and the oil droplet sizes were all smaller than 10 μm. However, when the oil phase reached 50 %, the emulsion showed water-oil phase separation.

Identification and Molecular Mechanism of Novel Two-Way Immunomodulatory Peptides from Ovalbumin: In Vitro Cell Experiments, De Novo Sequencing, and Molecular Docking.

The purpose of this study was to identify ovalbumin-derived immunomodulatory peptides by cell experiments, de novo sequencing, and molecular docking. Ovalbumin hydrolysates were prepared by two enzymes (alkaline protease and papain) individually, sequentially, or simultaneously, respectively. The simultaneous enzymatic hydrolysate (OVAH) had a high degree of hydrolysis (38.

Drop impact on a mesh - Viscosity effect.

Using a mesh surface is a promising technique in oil-water separation applications. In this paper, we investigated the dynamic impact of a silicone oil drop with different viscosities on an oleophilic mesh experimentally, which will help to define the critical conditions of the oil-water separation process. Four impact regimes were observed by controlling the impact velocity: deposition, partial imbibition, pinch-off, and separation.

Transtibial versus independent femoral tunnel drilling techniques for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: evaluation of femoral aperture positioning.

Background: Femoral tunnel can be drilled through tibial tunnel (TT), or independent of it (TI) by out-in (OI) technique or by anteromedial (AM) technique. No consensus has been reached on which technique achieves more proper femoral aperture position because there have been evolving concepts in the ideal place for femoral aperture placement. This meta-analysis was performed to analyze the current literature comparing femoral aperture placement by TI versus TT techniques in ACL reconstruction.
