Microencapsulation using a novel wall material prepared via Maillard reaction-derived mung bean protein-peach gum conjugates to enhance stability and functionality of chia seed oil.

This study investigated the potential of Maillard reaction products (MRPs) derived from mung bean protein isolate (MBPI) and peach gum (PG) conjugates as wall materials for microencapsulating chia seed oil (CSO). Four formulations (MMRP) were prepared using spray-drying and compared to a commercial sample (CMMRP). The MMRP formulation exhibited the highest encapsulation yield (91 %) and encapsulation efficiency (96 %), along with favorable physical properties, including a spherical shape and smooth surface.

Egg white protein‑sodium alginate smart labels based on pH-driven method and nonphase change 3D printing in mackerel freshness response.

The smart labels prepared via the casting method and molten 3D printing method have a long heating time at high temperature and a dense network structure, resulting in a decrease in the color response ability of the labels. Therefore, this study uses a nonphase change foam 3D printing method with a shorter heating time to improve the color sensitivity of smart labels. By the pH driving method, the blending and pregelation of sodium alginate (Alg) can extend the drainage time of the interfacial film to the maximum extent, thus further improving the foam stability of egg white protein (EWP) and endowing the interfacial adsorption layer with better flexibility and fluidity.

Foam separation of radio-molybdenum oxyanions (MoO) incorporated into Co(II)/Al(III) layered double hydroxide using anionic surfactant.

Foam separation of radio-molybdenum oxyanions (MoO) incorporated into in-situ formed Co(II)/Al(III) layered double hydroxide (LDH) particles was applied for recovery of these anionic species from aqueous solutions. The results showed that Co(II)/Al(III) molar ratios of 2 and 2.5 resulted into not only high recovery values for MoO (R > 0.

3D printing cassava starch-ovalbumin intelligent labels: Co-pigmentation effects of gallic acid on anthocyanins.

Anthocyanins are often chosen as signal converters of intelligent labels. However, they are degraded by high-temperature oxidation in the process of intelligent label preparation. The color fading seriously affects the sensitivity of color development.

Potential inhibitory effect of highland barley protein hydrolysates on the formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs): A mechanism study.

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) can be caused during a glycoxidation reaction. This reaction is associated with complications of diabetes and the consequences of health problems. Therefore, we are exploring the prohibitory effect of highland barley protein hydrolysates (HBPHs) on AGE formation.

Impact of Lactobacillus apis on the antioxidant activity, phytic acid degradation, nutraceutical value and flavor properties of fermented wheat bran, compared to Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Lactobacillus plantarum.

This study aimed to use a novel Lactobacillus strain (L. apis) isolated from the bee gut to develop a wheat bran (WB) deep-processing technology. Compared to the most popular strains (S.

A Case of Wiedemann-Rautenstrauch Syndrome With Fatal Hyperkalemic Renal Faliure.

Wiedemann-Rautenstrauch Syndrome (WRS), also known as neonatal progeroid syndrome, is an extremely rare genetic syndrome characterized by a senile appearance at birth with multiple complex symptoms. We reported a case of a three-days old male neonate with features of WRS presented with fatal hyperkalemic renal failure which is a unique presentation not reported before in the cases affected with this syndrome. There is a positive family history of a previous sibling with the same features who suddenly died during the first week of life.

Severe Agitation as an Unusual Presentation of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children.

Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a rare hyperinflammatory syndrome that mainly affects children after a primary infection with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), with the possibility of severe and lethal complications. We report a case of a unique presentation of MIS-C in a four-year-old boy who presented with severe agitation, muscle spasms, and two days of fever. Other findings consistent with MIS-C were revealed later, and he was managed with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and steroids.

Impact of a novel probiotic strain isolated from the bee gut on GABA content, antioxidant activity, and potential cytotoxic activity against HT-29 cell line of rice bran.

Unlabelled: Rice bran was fermented with isolated from the bee gut as a novel probiotic strain, and to investigate the relationship between its metabolites and antioxidant activity, nutraceutical value, and cytotoxic activity against the HT-29 cell line. The findings showed that improved the antioxidant activity (DPPH of 37.73%) and antioxidant capacity (ABTS of 37.

Effect of co-fermentation system with isolated new yeasts on soymilk: microbiological, physicochemical, rheological, aromatic, and sensory characterizations.

The beany flavor adversely influences consumer acceptance of soymilk (SM) products. Thus, in this work, the co-fermentation of isolated new yeasts (Kluyveromyces marxianus SP-1, Candida ethanolica ATW-1, and Pichia amenthionina Y) and Kluyveromyces marxianus K (a commercial yeast) along with an XPL-1 starter (including five strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB)) was utilized to mend the beany flavor of fermented SM (FSM) beverages. Probiotic count, pH, titratable acidity, syneresis, water holding capacity, rheological characteristics, and sensory attributes were investigated.

Progress in 4D/5D/6D printing of foods: applications and R&D opportunities.

4D printing is a result of 3D printing of smart materials which respond to diverse stimuli to produce novel products. 4D printing has been applied successfully to many fields, e.g.

Popliteal Pterygium With Van Der Woude Syndrome.

Van der Woude syndrome (VWS) is an autosomal dominant syndrome due to mutation of a gene located in the long arm of chromosome 1 (1q32.3-q4) called  (IRF6) gene. VW syndrome-affected children are born with a cleft lip or palate, hypodontia (absent teeth), and bilateral paramedian lower-lip pits, which are usually moist because they are often associated with accessory salivary glands and mucous glands that empty into the pits.
