Response surface methodology (RSM) and a five-level three-factor central composite rotatable design (CCRD) were used to evaluate the effect of glycerol and peptone concentration and initial pH on dextran dextrinase (DDase) production by Gluconobacter oxydans. Optimal fermentation conditions were 20.59 g/l of glycerol, 6.67 g/l of mycological peptone and an initial pH of 6.14. The predicted DDase yield of the optimised fermentation was 0.207 U/ml, whereas an actual experimental yield of 0.208 +/- 0.025 U/ml was obtained.

OX40, a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor superfamily, is expressed on the surface of activated T cells. Upon interaction with its cognate ligand, OX40L, OX40 transmits costimulatory signals to antigen-primed T cells, promoting their activation, differentiation, and survivalprocesses essential for the establishment of adaptive immunity. Although the OX40-OX40L interaction has been extensively studied in the context of disease treatment, developing a substitute for the naturally expressed membrane-bound OX40L, particularly a multimerized OX40L trimers, that effectively regulates OX40-driven T cell responses remains a significant challenge.

Unlabelled: The effects of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) (400-650 MPa) and holding temperature (25-50 °C) in thermally assisted HHP processing on multi-scale structure of starch (granule, crystalline and molecular), techno-functional properties, and digestibility of sorghum starch (SS) were evaluated. Response surface methodology has verified that the process impact on the modification of SS was dependent primarily on the pressure level. As HHP increased, processed SS progressively lost their granular structure and Maltese cross, indicating gradual structural disorder within the granules.

Introduction: Bacterial infection, a complex wound microenvironment, and a persistent inflammatory response in acute wounds can result in delayed healing and abnormal scar formation, thereby compromising the normal function and aesthetic appearance of skin tissue. This issue represents one of the most challenging problems in clinical practice. This study aims to develop a hydrogel dressing specifically designed for the treatment of acute wounds, providing immediate and effective protection for the affected areas.

The primary product currently sold from is foie gras, with limited research conducted on the processing of meat, which consequently restricts its added value. Therefore, the objective of this research is to develop a processing technique for reconstituted goose cutlets using meat as the main ingredient, aiming for a compact structure and intact shape after frying. The study examined the effects of compound enzyme quantity, tumbling duration, and molding time on the quality of the reconstituted goose cutlets, utilizing bonding strength, cooking loss rate, color, chewability, adhesiveness, and sensory evaluation as key metrics.
