Proteins and polysaccharides are widely used in food formulation. While most of the proteins are surface active, only few polysaccharides can adsorb at the air-water interface; this is the case of propylene glycol alginates (PGA). It is known that casein glycomacropeptide (CMP), a bioactive polypeptide derived from κ-casein by the action of chymosin, presents a great foaming capacity but provides unstable foams. So, the objective of this work was to analyze the impact of mixing CMP and a commercial variety of PGA, Kelcoloid O (KO), on the interfacial and foaming properties at pH 7.0. It was determined the surface pressure isotherm, the dynamics of adsorption and the foaming properties for CMP, KO and the mixed system CMP-KO. CMP dominated the surface pressure of CMP-KO mixed system. The presence of KO synergistically improved the viscoelastic properties of surface film. The foaming capacity of CMP was altered by KO. KO foam presented a higher stability than CMP foam and it controlled the stability against drainage and the initial collapse in the mixed foam.

Understanding of the structure and interfacial merits that reactive metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) undergo is critical for constructing efficient catalysts for non-thermal plasma-assisted conversion of greenhouse gases. Herein, we proposed a free-standing bimetallic (Co/Ni) MOFs supported on bacterial cellulose (BC) foams (Co/Ni-MOF@BC) toward the coaxial dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma-catalytic system, of which the Co/Ni ions coordination demonstrated an intriguing textual uplifting of the malleable BC nanofiber network with abundant pores up to micrometer-scale, which could impart a more intensive predominant filamentary microdischarge current to 180 mA with stronger plasma-catalytic interaction. Remarkably, compared to the monometallic MOF@BC foams, this bimetallic Co/Ni-MOF@BC also delivered a substantially improved alkaline absorption ability as further confirmed by the CO- temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) result.

Storage of shell eggs converts natural ovalbumin (N-OVA) into its more thermostable forms (S-OVA). This conversion may be associated with deterioration in the foaming properties of the stored shell egg. Thus, the foaming behavior of N-OVA and S-OVA, especially their performance at different pH conditions, was conducted.

Cationic:anionic surfactant mixtures adsorbed at an oil-water interface stabilize foams in the presence of oil, making them essential to the oil, gas, and firefighting industries. The oil tolerance of foams stabilized by surfactant mixtures, relative to pure (unmixed) cationic and anionic surfactants, results from the mixtures' enhanced flexibility in tailoring the physicochemical properties of the interface. To judiciously employ these mixtures, it is necessary to characterize the structure-function property relationship of their surfactant monolayers that lend to oil-tolerant/intolerant foams.

The pursuit of methods to enhance the purity of food-sourced bioactive peptides continues to pose significant challenges. This study introduces an innovative approach to enrich antioxidant peptides by using zinc ion coordination to augment the foaming capabilities of oat peptides. The resulting antioxidant peptide fraction (AF) accounted for 18 % of the oat globulin hydrolysates, with a significant increase (22-47 %) in scavenging activity against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), OH, and O radicals.
