The strong fragrant rapeseed oils (SFROs) attract an increasing consumers' preference due to their strong flavor and attractive appearance. With the accumulated knowledge of flavor formation pathways during producing SFROs, the present study proposed a novel method to enhance SFRO's flavor by directly adding the reducing sugars (glucose and xylose) and commercial peptides during roasting process. Results indicated that supplementation of 3 % rapeseed peptide, 1 % glucose and 0.

Article Synopsis
  • - A two-step method combining softened spark microarc oxidation technology was developed to create composite coatings with varying compositions on Ti alloys, focusing on the Ti6Al4V alloy. - The study revealed that softened spark discharges favored nucleation at the coating/substrate interface and had a lower process voltage than the anodic oxide film's breakdown voltage, impacting anion deposition in the electrolyte. - The results indicated that the softened sparks enhanced rutile phase formation and thickness growth of the coating, with key elements like Ca and P mostly found in the external porous layer, while the initial micro/nanoporous structures of the coatings remained largely unaffected.
