Stability of electrostatically stabilized emulsions and its encapsulation of astaxanthin against environmental stresses: Effect of sodium caseinate-sugar beet pectin addition order.

Two addition orders, i.e., the layer-by-layer (L) and mixed biopolymer (M) orders, were used to generate sodium caseinate - sugar beet pectin electrostatically stabilized o/w emulsions with 0.

Convert Harm into Benefit: The Role of the AlCaFe Phase in Al-Ca Wrought Aluminum Alloys Having High Compatibility with Fe.

The compatibility of the wrought Al-Ca alloy with the element Fe was investigated in the present study. In this work, both the Al-Ca alloy and Al-Ca-Fe alloy were synthesized through melting, casting, heat treatment, and rolling. A new ternary Al-Ca-Fe eutectic phase, identified as AlCaFe with an orthorhombic structure, demonstrated enhanced performance, as revealed by nanoindentation tests.
