The aim of this study was to find the optimum extrusion process conditions for texturized soybean meal as a meat analogue for food formulations using genetic algorithm. The defatted soybean meal was replaced with whole soybean meal at 10% and extruded in the temperature range of 150-200 °C, screw speed of 270-300 rpm and 20-25% feed moisture content based on the Box-Behnken design. The barrel temperature effect was markedly greater than those of the feed moisture content and screw speed on the product functional properties and appearance. Higher temperatures led to a higher rehydration capacity, water and oil absorption capacity, however, it had a negative effect on the product brightness. It was found that the extrusion at lower moisture content improved soy protein functionality. Genetic algorithm technique was applied to find the best process conditions. The optimized process conditions were found to be the temperature of 198.8 °C, screw speed of 291 rpm and feed moisture content of 20.2%. Overall, the whole soybean treatment was applicable to overcome the oil separation issue during extrusion and the process was optimized to produce texturized soy protein with the maximum attainable functionality.

Variation of physical wood properties and effect of dasometric variables in trees growing in plantation.

Heliyon

January 2025

Escuela de Ingeniería Forestal, Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica, Apartado, 159-7050, Cartago, Costa Rica.

Physical properties were studied in commercial plantation of balsa established in Costa Rica. Among other variables studied, physical properties varied mainly for tree age, spacing, stand density, diameter, and height of trees, which we named dasometric conditions. The aim of this study was (i) to determine the variation of specific gravity (SG), air-dry density (AD), green density (GD), and green moisture content (GMC), (ii) to know the site effect and dasometric conditions on these properties, and (iii) to establish the relationship between the four physical properties.

Biochar for ameliorating soil fertility and microbial diversity: From production to action of the black gold.

iScience

January 2025

Department of Environmental Science and Engineering, School of Engineering and Sciences, SRM University-AP, Amaravati, Andhra Pradesh 522240, India.

This article evaluated different production strategies, characteristics, and applications of biochar for ameliorating soil fertility and microbial diversity. The biochar production techniques are evolving, indicating that newer methods (including hydrothermal and retort carbonization) operate with minimum temperatures, yet resulting in high yields with significant improvements in different properties, including heating value, oxygen functionality, and carbon content, compared to the traditional methods. It has been found that the temperature, feedstock type, and moisture content play critical roles in the fabrication process.

Background: Effective hemorrhage protocols prioritize immediate hemostatic resuscitation to manage hemorrhagic shock. Prehospital resuscitation using blood products, such as whole blood or alternatively dried plasma in its absence, has the potential to improve outcomes in hemorrhagic shock patients. However, integrating blood products into prehospital care poses substantial logistical challenges due to issues with storage, transport, and administration in field environments.

The thermodynamic properties of frozen soil depend on its temperature state and ice content. Additionally, the permeability coefficient significantly affects both the temperature distribution and water movement. In this study, the dynamic variation of soil permeability coefficient with temperature is considered, the permeability coefficient is defined as a piecewise function with temperature as independent variable, and the hydrothermal coupling equation is established.

Institute of International Standardization for Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine Shanghai 201203, China Shanghai Academy of International Standardization for Traditional Chinese Medicine Shanghai 201203, China.

This study aims to establish a quality grading standard that combines the conventional quality evaluation based on morphological characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine with the modern quality evaluation. Based on the existing standards and market circulation of Isatidis Radix, the diameter and color of Isatidis Radix decoction pieces were selected as the appearance traits for preliminary grading. The effects of internal quality indexes such as moisture, total ash, acid-insoluble ash, ethanol-soluble extractives, and 9 water-soluble components on different grades of decoction pieces were comprehensively compared, and the key grading indexes were determined by t-test.
