This work investigated the gelation kinetics and mechanical properties of agarose hydrogels studied at different concentrations (in the range 1-5 g/L) and temperatures. Rheological measurements were performed by diffusing wave spectroscopy (DWS) using polystyrene and titanium dioxide particles as probes. The study emphasized the influence of gelation kinetics on the mechanical behavior of the hydrogels.

Food hydrogels, used as delivery systems for bioactive compounds, can be formulated with various food-grade biopolymers. Their industrial utility is largely determined by their physicochemical properties. However, comprehensive data on the properties of pea protein-psyllium binary hydrogels under different pH and ionic strength conditions are limited.

The aim of this study was to investigate dermal delivery of the new active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) TOP-N53 into diabetic foot ulcer using an in vitro wound model consisting of pig ear dermis and elucidate the impact of drug formulation and wound dressing taking into consideration clinical relevance in the home care setting and possible bacterial infection. Different formulation approaches for the poorly water-soluble API including colloidal solubilization, drug micro-suspension and cosolvent addition were investigated; moreover, the effect of (micro-)viscosity of hydrogels used as primary wound dressing on delivery was assessed. Addition of Transcutol® P as cosolvent to water improved solubility and was significantly superior to all other approaches providing a sustained three-day delivery that reached therapeutic drug levels in the tissue.

Irradiation-Assisted Enhancement of Foaming and Thermal Gelation Functionality of Liquid Egg White.

Foods

April 2024

Key Laboratory of Geriatric Nutrition and Health (Ministry of Education), China Food Flavor and Nutrition Health Innovation Center, School of Food and Health, Beijing Technology and Business University, Beijing 100048, China.

Ionizing radiation has its unique popularity as a non-thermal decontamination technique treating with protein-rich foodstuffs to ensure the microbial and sensory quality, particularly for shell eggs. However, the changes in the functional properties of egg protein fractions such as liquid egg white (LEW) with macro/microstructural information are still controversial. Hence, this study was designed to elaborate the foaming and heat-set gelation functionality of LEW following different γ-ray irradiation dose treatments (0, 1, 3 or 5 kGy).

Myosin filament plays a critical role in water-trapping and thermodynamic regulation during processing of brined muscle foods. The redox state and availability of proteolytic/antioxidant enzymes affected by salt may change the ion-binding capacity of myosin consequently contributing to swelling and rehydration. Thus, this study investigated the impact of different salt content (0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% NaCl) and oxidation in vitro (10 mM HO/ascorbate-based hydroxyl radical (OH)-generating system) on the oxidative stability, solubility/dispersion capacity, chymotrypsin digestibility, aggregation site and the microrheological properties of isolated porcine myosin.
