The oxygen permeability and oxidative stability of fish oil-loaded electrosprayed capsules were studied by Electron Spin Resonance (ESR). Electrosprayed capsules with dextran as main biopolymer showed a significantly faster broadening (ΔH) of 16-doxyl-stearate ESR spectrum when compared to glucose syrup capsules. This finding indicates a higher oxygen permeability of dextran capsules than glucose syrup capsules, which is explained by a reduced average free volume in the glucose syrup matrix than in the dextran shell. Moreover, glucose syrup capsules showed a significantly lower increase in the peak-to-peak amplitude of N-tert-butyl-α-phenylnitrone (PBN) ESR spectrum during storage when compared to dextran capsules. This implies a higher oxidative stability of glucose syrup capsules than dextran capsules, which correlated well with the lower oxygen permeability of the former. These results indicated the importance of the oxygen barrier properties of the wall materials when encapsulating long chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids by electrospraying.

Modulating the pH-activity profile of the glucose isomerase from Thermotoga marimita by introducing positively and negatively charged residues.

Glucose isomerase is generally used in the industrial production of high-fructose corn syrup, and a heat- and acid-resistant glucose isomerase is preferred. However, most glucose isomerases exhibit low activity or inactivation at low pH. In this study, we demonstrated that two combination mutants formed by introducing positive and negative charges near the active site and on the surface of the enzyme demonstrated a successful reduction in the optimal pH and increase in the specific activity of glucose isomerase from Thermotoga maritima (TMGI).

Article Synopsis
- This study analyzes how different substitutes (like maltodextrin and various gums) affect the stability of seed film-coatings that currently contain microplastics.
- Results show that using these substitutes increases the number of particles moving from the supernatant but decreases their settling rate and the thickness of that supernatant.
- The study introduces a new measurement called redispersion capacity, indicating how well the particles in the coating can be re-dispersed, which varies based on the specific substitute and thickener used.
Quantitative NMR analysis of sugars in natural sweeteners: Profiling in honey, jaggery, date syrup, and coconut sugar.

Due to the high demand for natural sweeteners and their perceived health benefits, it is crucial to use analytical techniques for accurately profiling natural sweeteners. The present study describes a simple and fast approach for the analysis of sweeteners using 1D - H NMR spectroscopy. This method is based on the direct detection of protons in sugar molecules with an internal standard, without the need for complex derivatization steps.

Forage is essential for equine health and performance, but intake of elevated pasture nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC) may exacerbate metabolic disorders. This study aimed to investigate the influence of laminitis history on metabolic and morphometric responses in grazing horses. Twelve non-pregnant mares (15 ± 3.

Aims to find out how adding different amounts of hazelnut to corn flour affects women's blood glucose fluctuations. Women ( = 23) were given loaves of bread containing corn and hazelnut flour (50 g digestible CHO). They were given 50 g of glucose syrup to consume in the first week, normal corn-bread (CB) in the second week, 15 g of corn-bread with hazelnut flour (CB + 15HN) in the third week and 30 g of corn-bread with hazelnut flour (CB + 30HN) in the fourth week.
