Study on quality characteristics, shelf-life prediction and frying mass transfer of breaded tilapia nuggets.

Deep-fried breaded tilapia nuggets (DFBTNs) have good market prospects as a tilapia deep-processed product. In this study, we used pre-optimized DFBTNs to simulate the mass change from storage to consumption and investigated the changes in storage shelf-life and frying mass transfer kinetics of DFBTNs. Microbial growth trend and shelf-life prediction models at different storage temperatures were developed using a modified Gompertz equation.

Iron porphyrin-catalyzed -trifluoroethylation of anilines with 2,2,2-trifluoroethylamine hydrochloride in aqueous solution.

An iron porphyrin-catalyzed -trifluoroethylation of anilines has been developed with 2,2,2-trifluoroethylamine hydrochloride as the fluorine source. This one-pot N-H insertion reaction is conducted cascade diazotization/-trifluoroethylation reactions. The developed transformation can afford a wide range of -trifluoroethylated anilines in good yields using readily available primary amines and secondary anilines as starting materials.

Direct synthesis of 2-oxo-acetamidines from methyl ketones, aromatic amines and DMF copper-catalyzed C(sp)-H amidination.

A convenient method for the synthesis of 2-oxo-acetamidines from methyl ketones using aromatic amines and DMF as nitrogen sources is reported copper-catalyzed C(sp)-H amidination. Various methyl ketones react readily with aromatic amines and DMF, producing 2-oxo-acetamidines in yields of 47 to 92%. This protocol features the simultaneous formation of C-N and C[double bond, length as m-dash]N bonds using DMF and aromatic amines as two different nitrogen sources.
