Enzymatic hydrolysis of arabinoxylans to prepare arabinoxylo-oligosaccharides has been of high interest from the commercial point of view. However, some arabinoxylans, such as those extracted from corn bran, tend to be difficult to hydrolyze into oligosaccharides due to their highly branched structure which limits the action of xylanases. This research presents a new arabinoxylo-oligosaccharide preparation by enzymatic treatment of corn bran with an endoxylanase enzyme. The native arabinoxylan had a molecular weight of 253kDa and the hydrolysate polymers ranged from 51.6 to 132kDa. The hydrolyzates showed improved solubility in contrast to the original sample. The molecular properties of the hydrolyzates were related to the enzyme concentration used in the hydrolysis process, with increasing enzyme concentration leading to decreasing molecular weight and size. Solution viscosity of the samples also decreased with increasing enzyme concentration. All of the hydrolyzates showed emulsifying ability that was comparable to the original arabinoxylan.

Grapholita molesta (Busck) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is a major pest of many fruit trees. The large-scale artificial propagation technology of the insect is the basis for the field application of the sterile insect technique and biological control products based on host mass reproduction. However, a low-cost diet with easily accessible materials remains lacking.

This review provides an overview of the main vegetable oils of different botanical origin and composition that can be used for frying worldwide (olive and extra-virgin olive oil, high-oleic sunflower oil, rapeseed oil, peanut oil, rice bran oil, sunflower oil, corn oil, soybean oil, cottonseed oil, palm oil, palm kernel oil and coconut oil) and their degradation during this process. It is well known that during this culinary technique, oil's major and minor components degrade throughout different reactions, mainly thermoxidation, polymerization and, to a lesser extent, hydrolysis. If severe high temperatures are employed, isomerization to fatty acyl chains and cyclization are also possible.

The fast and accurate quantitative detection of camellia oil products is significant for multiple reasons. In this study, rice bran oil and corn oil, whose Raman spectra both hold great similarities with camellia oil, are blended with camellia oil, and the concentration of each composition is predicted by models with varying feature extraction methods and regression algorithms. Back propagation neural network (BPNN), which has been rarely investigated in previous work, is used to construct regression models, the performances of which are compared with models using random forest (RF) and partial least squares regression (PLSR).

Gryllus madagascarensis (Orthoptera: Gryllidae) is a cricket species that shows promise to mitigate food insecurity and malnutrition. But whether this species will accept low- to no-cost weeds and agro by-products as feed, and how these feeds affect its performance, remains unknown. This study assessed the acceptability of 66 weed species and agro by-products (derived from a single plant species) by adult G.
