It was found that chlorpromazine and pipolfene potentiating general anaesthesia increase viscosity of phospholipid membrane in the region of polar headgroups and in the hydrophobic area near glycerol sceleton. These results (independently of potentiating mechanism) confuse a mechanism of anaesthetics action as increased fluidity of membrane phospholipids.

Drying is a crucial unit operation within the functional foods and biopharmaceutical industries, acting as a fundamental preservation technique and a mechanism to maintain these products' bioactive components and nutritional values. The heat-sensitive bioactive components, which carry critical quality attributes, necessitate a meticulous selection of drying methods and conditions backed by robust research. In this review, we investigate challenges associated with drying these heat-sensitive materials and examine the impact of various drying methods.

Unlabelled: Our study sought to investigate how the fluidized-bed agglomeration process, incorporating sugar and sugar alcohol binders, affects the physical and rheological properties of milk protein isolate (MPI)-guar gum (GG) mixtures. The agglomerated MPI-GG mixtures (AMGs) consisted of larger and more porous particles with a uniform particle size distribution and showed better solubility compared to non-agglomerated MG (NMG). Additionally, the agglomeration process with binders improved powder flowability by reducing powder cohesion.

The probiotic food sector is rapidly growing due to increased consumer demand for nutritional supplements. However, ensuring probiotic viability within the harsh conditions of the gastrointestinal tract remains a major challenge. While probiotic encapsulation is a promising solution to enhance probiotic viability, most traditional encapsulation methods have significant limitations.

Nitrogen contamination of water sources poses significant environmental and health risks. The sulfur-driven simultaneous nitrification and autotrophic denitrification (SNAD) process offers a cost-effective solution, as it operates in a single reactor, requires no organic carbon addition, and produces minimal sludge. However, this process remains underexplored, with microbial population dynamics, their interactions, and their implications for process efficiency not yet fully understood.
