This study determines the effects of stearic acid and gamma irradiation, alone and in combination, on properties of amylose-lipid nanomaterials from pasted high amylose maize starch (HAMS) with and without alpha amylase hydrolysis. HAMS was incorporated with stearic acid (0, 1.5% and 5%, w/w), irradiated at 0, 30 and 60 kGy and pasted under pressure in a rheometer. Isolated materials after thermostable alpha amylase or hot water washing were freeze-dried and characterised using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The isolated materials contain amylose-lipid complexes (ALCs) as determined by DSC and XRD. Pasting of gamma irradiated HAMS produced type I ALCs, whereas that for un-irradiated HAMS produced type II ALCs. The ALCs occurred at nanoscale with sizes ranging from 10 to 110 nm as observed with AFM and TEM. Tailor-made ALCs nanomaterials can be produced from HAMS (with and without added stearic acid).

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of dietary fat source and feeding duration on growth performance, carcass characteristics, and meat quality of finishing pigs. A total of 450 twenty-one-week-old finishing pigs with an average body weight of 113.7 ± 8 kg were housed in 90 pens assigned to one of five dietary treatments in a 2×2 + 1 factorial design.

Paternal exposure to high-fat diets or individual fatty acids (FAs) including arachidonic acid (AA) modifies progeny traits by poorly understood mechanisms. Specific male reproductive system FAs may be involved in paternal inheritance, as they can modify a range of cellular components, including the epigenome. Our objective was to determine FAs in compartments of the male reproductive system that potentially affect ejaculate composition-right and left testicular interstitial fluid (TIF), vesicular gland fluid (VGF), and epididymal adipose tissue (EAT)-in mice exposed to AA or vehicle daily for 10 days ( = 9-10/group).

Oleogelation was investigated to reduce the saturated fat content of vegan cheese. Oleogels were formulated using a range of oleogelators, oleogelator concentrations and oil phase compositions to study the effect that adjusting these parameters had on both oleogel and vegan cheese properties. Comparing oleogels at an equivalent mass basis of 20 wt%, phytosterol oleogels exhibited greater hardness (5.

The WRINKLED1 (WRI1) transcription factor controls carbon flow in plants through regulating the expression of glycolysis and fatty acid biosynthesis genes. The role of Gossypium hirsutum WRINKLED1 (GhWRI1) in seed-oil accumulation still needs to be explored. Multiple sequence alignment of WRI1 proteins confirmed the presence of two conserved AP2 domains.

A self-healing superhydrophobic coating was successfully prepared in the present work. The coating comprised PEG (polyethylene glycol) and FeO nanoparticles modified with stearic acid (SA) via hydrogen bonds, using polyamide resin and epoxy as binders. The chemically damaged surface could restore its original superhydrophobic structure and chemical composition after 4 h at room temperature or 10 min of heating in an oven with a self-healing efficiency of 95.
