We investigated the heat-induced cis/trans isomerization of double bonds in monounsaturated lipids. When triolein (9-cis, 18:1) was heated around 180 degrees C, small amounts of isomerization products were obtained depending on the heating period. The heat-induced isomerization of triolein was considerably suppressed by the addition of different antioxidants or under nitrogen stream, and these additives simultaneously inhibited the thermal oxidation of double bonds in triolein. Therefore, an intermediate of the thermal oxidation reaction might be responsible for the heat-induced isomerization of the double bonds in triolein. The thermodynamics of the heat-induced isomerization of triolein (9-cis, 18:1) and trielaidin (9-trans, 18:1) were investigated using Arrhenius plot. The Arrhenius activation energies of cis double bonds in triolein and trans double bonds in trielaidin were 106 kJ/mol and 137 kJ/mol, respectively. The calculated internal rotational barrier heights of these double bonds were similar to those of the double bond of 2-butene radical and significantly lower than those of non-radicalized double bonds in 2-butene. These results suggest that heat-induced cis/trans isomerization of triolein and trielaidin occurs mainly through the formation of radical species, which are the intermediates produced during thermal oxidation. The activation energy difference between the two forms suggests that trans trielaidin radicals are more stable than cis triolein radicals. The high thermodynamic stability of the trans double bonds in lipid radicals would influence the population of cis and trans isomers in edible oils and contribute to slight accumulation of trans-18:1 isomers during heating or industrial processing.

Pullulanase (PUL) plays a crucial role in breaking down α-1,6-glycosidic bonds in starch, a key process in starch processing and conversion. Based on PulB with high enzymatic activity, the expression of PUL in Bacillus subtilis was enhanced by plasmid screening, double promoter optimization, and signal peptide engineering. Furthermore, we innovatively employed a mussel foot protein to enhance the cell adhesion to carriers and utilized biofilm-based cell immobilization technology to optimize the fermentation process and stimulate biofilm formation.

HBT-DPI was a single-molecule multi-conformational fluorescent material and had unique applications for hydrophobic/hydrophilic mapping on large-scale heterogeneous surfaces. In this paper, the different proton transfer processes and luminescence mechanisms of HBT-DPI in Dichloromethane (DCM, no hydrogen bond (HB) receptor) and N, N-Dimethylformamide (DMF, HB receptor) solvents were systematically studied. Using the quantum chemistry method, the stable structures of HBT-DPI in two solvents were determined based on the Boltzmann distribution.

Alkenyl pheromones are a class of insect sex pheromones that are characterized by the presence of one or more double bonds, which can be either in the E(trans) or Z(cis) configuration. This structural variation is essential in mating, as it influences reproductive behavior and provides a potential method for insect control. As a base for rapid and in-situ screening of synthetic pheromones or pheromone-based products, this study explores the potential of Raman spectroscopy to differentiate between the two geometrical isomers, E(trans) and Z(cis), of the alkenyl pheromones.

Proton-electron mixed conductors (PEMCs) are an essential component for potential applications in hydrogen separation and energy conversion devices. However, the exploration of PEMCs with excellent mixed conduction, which is quantified by the ambipolar conductivity, σ = σσ/(σ + σ) (σ: electronic conductivity; σ: proton conductivity), is still a great challenge, largely due to the lack of structural characterization of both conducting mechanisms. In this study, we prepared a molecule-based proton-electron mixed-conducting cation radical salt, (ET)[Pt(pop)(Hpop)]·PhCN (ET: bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene, pop: PHO), by electrocrystallization.
