New genera and species of coniferous twig-inhabiting from China.

Species in the order M.E. Barr ex Minter (, ) develop on a wide range of host plants, but prefer conifers, such as species of and .

Diversity and taxonomy of the genus (Amanitaceae, Agaricales) in the Yanshan Mountains, Northern China.

Globally, the species of are key components of ectomycorrhizal ecosystems. Some of them are widely known as poisonous or edible fungi. Although many new species from China have been described, the species diversity of Yanshan Mountains remains unknown.

Four new species of from China based on morphological and phylogenetic characterization.

() species are widely distributed globally and constitute a diverse group of pathogenic and endophytic fungi associated with a broad range of plant hosts. In this study, four new species of , i.e.

Raman Spectroscopy Study Structural Changes in Black Bean Protein Isolate upon Ultrasonic-Treatment.

This article focused on the assessment of the potential of Raman spectroscopy for the determination of structural changes in black-bean protein isolate (BBPI) dispersions with low-frequency (20 kHz) ultrasonication applied at various powers (150, 300 or 450 W) and for different durations (12 or 24 min). It also reported on differential scanning calorimetry analyses. A decrease in TD at low- and medium-power ultrasonication confirmed these ultrasonication treatment disrupted internal hydrophobic interactions of protein molecules and broke up unstable aggregates to smaller soluble protein aggregates, while an increase in TD at high-power was attributed to repolymerization of aggregates.

Blending of soybean oil with selected vegetable oils: impact on oxidative stability and radical scavenging activity.

Background: Soybean oil may protect against cancer of the breast and prostate. It may also exert beneficial influence in combination with other oils. Here, blends (20%, v/v) of sea buckthorn oil (SEBO), camellia oil (CAO), rice bran oil (RBO), sesame oil (SEO) and peanut oil (PEO) with soybean oil (SBO) were formulated.
