- Young children have high nutritional needs, especially for lysine, and improving their diets with enriched foods is essential due to their small portion sizes.
- An enzymatic lysine-α-oxidase (LOx) sensor was developed to measure lysine content in flour mixtures, showing significant increases in lysine concentration with added lablab purpureus.
- The biosensor successfully quantified lysine levels in various flours, proving to be an effective tool for assessing and enhancing the nutritional quality of these food products.
Tetrahedral liquids exhibit intriguing thermodynamic and transport properties because of the various ways tetrahedra can be packed and connected. Recently, an unusual temperature dependence of the stretching exponent β in a model tetrahedral liquid ZnCl2 from Tm + 85 K to Tm + 35 K has been reported using neutron-spin echo spectroscopy. This discovery stands in sharp contrast to other glass-forming liquids.
