As the most valuable protein in the sperm of testes tissues of , protamine (CPP) had a natural antibacterial and antiseptic effect, but its physicochemical properties and functions are easily affected by the ultrasound-assisted extraction process. In this study, ultrasound-assisted extraction of CPP was used to investigate the effects of different ultrasonic intensities (0, 3.03, 6.

Article Synopsis
  • Allicin is a natural antibacterial substance with significant health benefits, but its use in food and medicine is limited due to instability.
  • To enhance its stability, researchers created allicin-zein-sodium caseinate composite nanoparticles using specific preparation techniques, achieving optimal conditions through various analytical methods.
  • These nanoparticles demonstrated excellent stability and bioavailability, with a substantial retention of allicin and improved antioxidant properties compared to free allicin, suggesting a promising approach for using bioactive compounds in healthcare.

The effects of four polyphenols-chlorogenic acid (CA), gallic acid (GA), epicatechin gallate (ECG), and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) on the structure, gel properties, and interaction mechanisms of myofibrillar protein (MP) were studied. The changes in MP structure with polyphenols were analyzed using circular dichroism. The ultraviolet and fluorescence spectra and thermodynamic analysis indicated that the type of binding between the four polyphenols with the MP was static quenching of complex formation.

Allicin is a kind of natural antimicrobial active substance, but its water solubility is poor, and it is easy to degrade. In order to improve the stability and bioavailability of allicin, allicin-zein composite nanoparticles (Al-Ze) were prepared by the combination method of antisolvent precipitation and electrostatic deposition, and their characteristic parameters, such as average particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), and ζ-potential, were analyzed. Then, Al-Ze was used as the delivery carrier for the active substance (allicin), and gelatin with good film-forming properties was selected as the film-forming matrix to prepare Al-Ze gelatin films.

Pickering emulsions were prepared by stabilizing thymus vulgaris essential oil (TEVO) with cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), which formed composite films by loading the emulsions into modified tapioca/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-based films. The results showed that the 1.0 % CNCs-15 % TEVO emulsion had optimal stability and smaller particle size.

In this study, the quality (sensory evaluation, microbial enumerate, color, tvb-n (total volatile basic nitrogen), tca-soluble peptide (trichloroacetic acid-soluble peptide), muscle glucose, lactate, total sugar, Bas (Biogenic amines), VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and the microbial dynamic structure in samples stored at 4 °C were evaluated, and the relationship between VOCs and the diversity structure of microorganisms was also discussed. It was determined by sensory evaluation that the shelf life of samples was around 8 days. Protein and sugar were detected in large quantities by microorganisms in the later stage.

The effects of changes in the malondialdehyde (MDA) content on the quality of fish during the low-temperature storage period are unclear. Therefore, the effects of the MDA content on quality and protein changes were investigated following storage under refrigeration (4 °C) and super chilling (-3 °C) for 15 days (d). The results showed that the MDA content continued to increase during storage and that the highest content was produced at 1.

With growth of confectionery industry, there is a great demand for candy shape, and 3D printing technology is way to achieve it. The printing properties of gummy, which is formed of gelatin and low acyl gellan as gel, maltol, erythritol, sorbitol, and xylitol as sweeteners, were tested in this study. Gummies' rheological properties, 3D printing properties, and textural qualities were measured using a rheometer, FTIR, and SEM in this study.
