Plasticizer and thermal denaturation are indeed important factors for soybean protein film formation. The objective of the study was to investigate the effects of glycerol and thermal denaturation on the film-forming performances of soybean protein isolate (SPI) and elucidate the underlying mechanisms. From the results, glycerol had almost no effect on the protein's secondary and tertiary structures.

Extensive research has been conducted on soy protein films; however, limited information is available regarding the influence of the major components, β-conglycinin (7S) and glycinin (11S), on the film-forming properties of soy protein. This study aimed to isolate the 7S and 11S fractions in order to prepare films and investigate the impact of varying 7S/11S ratios on the film-forming solutions (FFS) and film properties. The findings revealed that higher 11S ratios led to increased protein aggregation, consequently elevating the storage modulus (G') of the FFS.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) on the basic properties of soy protein isolate films, and especially to propose the corresponding formation mechanism. Tensile strength, barrier properties, and water resistance were effectively improved after the formation of nanocomposite films. Incorporating CNC could restrict water mobility and improve the viscoelastic properties of films.

The present study aimed to develop a new bio-nanocomposite film based on gum arabic (GA) reinforced with cellulose nanocrystals (CNC). CNC was successfully fabricated and its microstructure was characterized. Subsequently, the effects of CNC on the rheological, physicochemical and functional properties of GA-based films were systematically evaluated.

Cervical cancer is the second most common type of cancer among women worldwide and a leading cause of mortality in women. Metastases reduce the overall survival rate in patients with cervical cancer. Thus, it is clinically urgent to investigate the molecular mechanism of cervical cancer metastasis.

Foam fractionation and resin adsorption were used to recover soybean saponins from the industrial residue of soybean meal. First, a two-stage foam fractionation technology was studied for concentrating soybean saponins from the leaching liquor. Subsequently, resin adsorption was used to purify soybean saponins from the foamate in foam fractionation.
