Hydroxypropylation with propylene oxide followed by esterification with octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) was used to produce modified potato starch derivatives suitable for the encapsulation of essential oils. Caraway essential oil (EO) was encapsulated by spray-drying into enzymatically hydrolyzed dual/single modified and native starches. The EO microencapsulation efficiency in different modified starches, the retention of volatile aroma compounds, the emulsion particle size and the microstructure of the spray-dried encapsulated powdered products, as well as the compositional aroma changes taking place during the processing and storage for up to 8 months have been estimated. The increase of OSA content from 0.97 to 2.52% in the P-native structure and from 0.91% to 2.66% in P-HP resulted in the significant increase in the encapsulating capacity, evaluated as a percentage of the total EO retained, from 61.6 to 88.0% and 73.8% to 84.0%, respectively. However, the compositional changes of the microencapsulated caraway EO constituents were not remarkable. Additionally, the effect of pure and encapsulated caraway EO products on the oxidative stability of commercial rapeseed oil and mayonnaise was evaluated using the instrumental Oxipres method and it was shown that they were more effective in emulsion type products by the up to 1.8-fold increase in the oxidative stability of mayonnaise.

Biofilms are a well-known multifactorial virulence factor with a pivotal role in chronic bacterial infections. Their pathogenicity is determined by the combination of strain-specific mechanisms of virulence and the biofilm extracellular matrix (ECM) protecting the bacteria from the host immune defense and the action of antibacterials. The successful antibiofilm agents should combine antibacterial activity and good biocompatibility with the capacity to penetrate through the ECM.

Direct epoxidation of propylene (CH) with hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) over the Au/TS-1 catalyst is known as the "Holy Grail" reaction for propylene oxide (PO) synthesis. However, Au nanoparticle loading on TS-1 was limited by traditional deposition precipitation, impregnation and could not achieve ideal catalytic results. In this report, alkaline-assisted excessive impregnation helped to remove Cl from the Au impregnation precursor, improve the loading efficiency of Au nanoparticles and overcome the abnormal growth of nanograins.

The simple approach of increasing the elastic properties of atactic poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) with Mn = 71.4 kDa, ĐM = M/M = 1.86, and predominantly carbonate units (>99%) is suggested by selecting the appropriate hot pressing temperature for PPC between 110 and 140 °C.

Research on Mg-based implants has increased recently because of their compatibility and biodegradability. Despite this promise, challenges related to high corrosion rates hampered wide-scale deployment. This paper explores the inhibiting properties of biomacromolecules, sodium alginate (ALG), hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), aspartame (ASP), and poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(propylene oxide) copolymer (PEO-b-PPO) on AZ31 Mg alloy in simulated body fluid at 37 °C.

Friction cleaning can effectively remove the paint coating (adhesive organic impurities) on the surface of waste glass, and promote the closed-loop recovery of urban silicic acid resources in industrial applications. However, due to a large number of mechanical collisions and wear during use, it is easy to produce powder dust and organic waste gas, and the pollution characteristics and mechanism have not been studied. In this study, the ball milling experiment was designed and the pollutants were tested and evaluated.
