Chlorogenic acid (CGA) binding to proteins in alkaline conditions results in the production of green trihydroxy benzacradine (TBA) derivatives. The formation of TBA derivatives could decrease product quality due to the potential losses in soluble protein and antioxidants and the production of an undesirable green color. To determine how cookie formulation affected the formation of TBA derivatives in sunflower butter cookies, two egg replacers (chia and banana) and two baking temperatures (162.8 and 190.6 °C) were used. Moisture, greening intensity, CGA content and antioxidant capacity were measured. Cookies made with egg and baked at 162.8 °C had the highest moisture, internal greening intensity, and TBA derivative formation, in addition to lower CGA content and antioxidant capacity. Cookies made with banana baked at 190.6 °C produced the opposite outcome with 35, 4, and 23% less internal greening, moisture, and TBA derivatives, respectively, and 90 and 76% higher CGA and antioxidant capacity. Internal greening was positively correlated with moisture and adduct concentration, and negatively correlated with spread factor and CGA content. Moisture had a significant impact on greening, which indicates that baking temperature and cookie dough formulation can be modified to produce a less green cookie with more unreacted antioxidants and protein.

infections continue to pose a significant global health challenge, particularly due to the rise of multidrug-resistant strains, random mycobacterial mutations, and the complications associated with short-term antibiotic regimens. Currently, five approved drugs target cell wall biosynthesis in . This review provides a comprehensive analysis of these drugs and their molecular mechanisms.

Thrombin binding aptamer (TBA) is one of the best-known G-quadruplex (G4)-forming aptamers that efficiently binds to thrombin, resulting in anticoagulant effects. TBA also possesses promising antiproliferative properties. As with most therapeutic oligonucleotides, chemical modifications are critical for therapeutic applications, particularly to improve thermodynamic stability, resistance in biological environment, and target affinity.

Photodynamic inactivation, as a safe and effective antimicrobial technology that does not damage the organoleptic properties of the food itself, decreases the use of preservatives and is gradually gaining attention in the food industry. This study selected octyl gallate (OG) as an antimicrobial photosensitizer with eucalyptus oil as the oil phase and prepared it as an octyl gallate nanoemulsion (OG-NE) to ensure the delivery of the photosensitizer. Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus inactivation with the OG-NE combined with photodynamic technology, as well as the effect on the quality of food products, was investigated.

The performance and stability of inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is adversely affected by the recombination loss, ion migration, and residual stress arising from issues within the bulk and at the cathode interface. Using simple post-treatment with a novel solution-processable derivative of the dodecahydro-closo-dodecaborate anion ([closo-BH])-(TBA)[BH(OCHCH)OH] (TBAB)-it is simultaneously address these issues. In inverted PSCs, the cationic and anionic components of TBAB uniquely self-separate by positioning themselves precisely to perform their specific modification functions.

Background: Podophyllotoxin (PPT), a highly active compound extracted from the rhizome of Dysosma versipellis (DV), has been used as an effective anti-cancer drug clinically since the 1950s. It possesses various biological activities, including antiviral and antitumor effects. However, its clinical application is severely limited due to its hepatotoxicity, and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.
