AI Article Synopsis

  • The study analyzed 72 pork tenderloin samples treated with different doses of E-beam irradiation and stored for varying times, using H NMR analysis to assess changes in metabolic components.
  • It is the first research to utilize meat exudate to examine the effects of both irradiation and storage duration on pork.
  • Findings indicate that H NMR metabolomics can effectively reveal metabolic changes caused by storage and irradiation, suggesting potential for developing new meat conservation analysis methods.

Article Abstract

Seventy-two exudates from pork tenderloin samples, subjected to E-beam irradiation treatments, have been employed to monitor, through H NMR analysis, the effects of irradiation dose (0, 1, 2 and 6 kGy) and storage time (1, 6 and 12 days). As far as we know, this is the first study where meat exudate is employed to monitor the effects of irradiation dose and storage time. The H NMR spectra, obtained after ~ 2 min, allowed to determine the main components of the pork exudate. Results show that H NMR-based metabolomics provides valuable information about the metabolic changes suffered during storage and how these transformations could be affected by E-beam irradiation treatment. The ease to obtain exudates, the simple NMR sample preparation, the good correlation between the selected metabolites, the irradiation treatment and the storage times point to that this study could be the first step to develop a new method for analysis and control of meat conservation and to evaluate its irradiation treatment.

Polymerizable ionic liquid-based gel polymer electrolytes (PIL-GPEs) were developed for the first time using high-energy electron beam irradiation for high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). By incorporating an imidazolium-based ionic liquid (PIL) into the polymer network, PIL-GPEs achieved high ionic conductivity (1.90 mS cm at 25 °C), a lithium transference number of 0.

This study focused on the formulation, electron beam (e-beam) crosslinking, and characterisation of hydrogels enriched with lavender oil (LO) to enhance their structural and functional properties for biomedical applications. Stable hydrogels were synthesised using water-soluble polymers and suitable ratios of Tween 80 and Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) as surfactant and co-surfactant, respectively, via e-beam irradiation at doses up to 70 kGy. The most effective crosslinking was achieved with a radiation dose of 30 kGy, depending on the concentrations of surfactants and LO.

This article presents an efficient method for isolating cellulose nanocrystals (CNcs) from seaweed waste using a combination of electron beam (E-beam) irradiation and acid hydrolysis. This approach not only reduces the chemical consumption and processing time, but also improves the crystallinity and yield of the CNcs. The isolated CNcs were then thermally annealed at 800 and 1000 °C to produce porous nanocarbon materials, which were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to assess their structural and chemical properties.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of electron beam (E-beam) irradiation at different doses (0-15 kGy) on the solubility, rheological properties, emulsification characteristics, and moisture distribution of chicken myofibrillar proteins (MPs). Irradiation treatment notably increased the solubility, surface hydrophobicity, emulsification properties, and apparent viscosity of MPs, based on conformational changes caused by irradiation-induced oxidative denaturation of proteins. However, high doses of irradiation (15 kGy) induced in excessive cross-linking and aggregation of proteins, reducing the solubility, emulsification properties, and shear stress.

Understanding the effects of laser light, water vapor, and energetic electron irradiation on the intrinsic properties of perovskites is important in the development of perovskite-based solar cells. Various phase transition and degradation processes have been reported when these agents interact with perovskites separately. However, detailed studies of their synergistic effects are still missing.
