Article Synopsis
- Researchers studied how different microwave powers affect the properties of zein in corn kernels through intermittent drying.
- At 1800 W, drying improved solubility, emulsification, and hydrophobicity due to molecular structure changes, while higher power (2700 W) caused protein aggregation, affecting functional properties negatively but enhancing emulsification stability.
- The findings can help in understanding and applying microwave drying techniques for improved utilization of zein in various fields.
Covalent complexes of peanut protein isolate (PPI) and corn silk polysaccharide (CSP) (PPI-CSP) were prepared using an ultrasonic-assisted moist heat method to improve the functional properties of peanut protein isolate. The properties of the complexes were affected by the level of corn silk polysaccharide. By increasing the polysaccharide addition, the grafting degree first increased, and then tended to be flat (the highest was 38.

Spin-dependent tunneling transport is one of the many kinds of physical phenomena involving spintronics, which has already found industrial applications. In this paper, we first provide a brief review on the basic physics and materials for magnetic tunnel junctions, followed more importantly by a detailed coverage on the application of magnetic tunneling devices in magnetic data storage.
