Article Synopsis
  • The study highlights how varying dough moisture content (DMC) from 14% to 22% affects the thermal properties of starch and cookie characteristics, like hardness and spread.
  • An increase in DMC led to a 25-30% rise in starch digestion rate constants, indicating that moisture enhances starch digestibility.
  • The research also found that by optimizing starch formulations, it’s possible to achieve cookies with lower hardness and starch digestion rates while maximizing spread.

Food fortification is an efficient strategy to combat vitamin A deficiency. However, the stability of vitamin A during storage is low. Cereal bran can be used as a natural and affordable stabilising agent, but the mechanism behind this stabilisation remains unclear.

Article Synopsis
  • The quality of wholemeal wheat bread is significantly influenced by the leavening strategy used and the settings of process parameters like mixing time, water absorption, and proofing time.
  • Different leavening methods (type 1 sourdough, sourdough with baker's yeast, and baker's yeast alone) resulted in varying specific volumes of the bread, with sourdough showing the lowest maximum specific volume.
  • The study suggests that sourdough may require less mixing time and water absorption for optimal bread volume, challenging the common belief that sourdough always leads to larger bread volumes compared to baker's yeast.

Intracellular delivery is critical for a plethora of biomedical applications, including mRNA transfection and gene editing. High transfection efficiency and low cytotoxicity, however, are often beyond the capabilities of bulk techniques and synonymous with extensive empirical optimization. Moreover, bulk techniques are not amenable to large screening applications.
