Effect of Pulsed Electric Field Treatment on the Protein, Digestibility, and Physicochemical Properties of Starch Granules in Wheat Flour.

The effect of pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment depends mainly on the electric field strength and treatment time. In this study, wheat flour-water suspensions were treated with PEF at an electric field strength of 3 kV/cm for 0 to 1400 pulses to obtain a specific energy input of 0 to 656 kJ/kg. The effect of PEF on the removal or unfolding of proteins from the starch surface, digestibility, starch granule structure, and physicochemical properties of wheat flour was studied.

Source apportionment of PM in Thailand's deep south by principal component analysis and impact of transboundary haze.

Atmospheric particulate matter smaller than 2.5 micron (PM) was evaluated at four sites in the lower southern part of Thailand during 2019-2020 to understand the impact of PM transport from peatland fires in Indonesia on air quality during the southwest monsoon season. Mass concentration and chemical bound-PM, including carbon composition, e.

Evaluation of Pulsed Electric Field and Conventional Thermal Processing for Microbial Inactivation in Thai Orange Juice.

A pulsed electric field (PEF) is a technology used for microbial inactivation in food and beverages. This study aimed to examine the effect of PEF treatment on microbial inactivation and quality parameters in Thai orange juice (TOJ). The results showed that PEF and conventional thermal pasteurization (CTP) can be performed for inactivation of and in TOJ.

Influence of the magnetic field on bandgap and chemical composition of zinc thin films prepared by sparking discharge process.

We examine the influence of the magnetic field on the chemical reaction of nitrogen and carbon dioxide in sparking electric discharge of zinc wires. Samples are prepared on Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) and quartz substrates in the form of thin films at 0 T, 0.2 T and 0.
