In this article, we propose a minimal model for the cooking-induced deformation of spaghetti and related food products. Our approach has parallels to the use of rod theories for the mechanics of slender bodies undergoing growth and is inspired by a wealth of experimental data from the food science literature. We use our model to investigate the cooking of a single strand of spaghetti confined to a pot and reproduce a curious three-stage deformation sequence that arises in the cooking process.

Introduction: Oxylipins, as a widespread class of metabolic markers following oxidative stress, and several studies have reported dietary regulation of lipid metabolism. However, there is a lack of investigation of dietary oxylipins, especially cooking-induced changes in food lipid oxidation.
Objectives: Investigated the effects of cooking methods and lipid profiles on polyunsaturated fatty acids derived oxylipins generation within egg yolks.

Localized bioimpedance (L-BIA) measurements are an innovative method to non-invasively identify structural derangement of soft tissues, principally muscles, and fluid accumulation in response to traumatic injury. This review provides unique L-BIA data demonstrating significant relative differences between injured and contralateral non-injured regions of interest (ROI) associated with soft tissue injury. One key finding is the specific and sensitive role of reactance (Xc), measured at 50 kHz with a phase-sensitive BI instrument, to identify objective degrees of muscle injury, localized structural damage and fluid accretion, determined using magnetic resonance imaging.

Ambient fine particulate matter (diameters <2.5 µm; PM) and nitrogen dioxide (NO) pollution are responsible for substantial health burdens in China, contributing to a considerable proportion of global mortality. Simultaneously, the proportion of indoor smoking and cooking-induced PM and NO pollution lacks robust exposure assessment findings.

Cooking-induced conversion of starch, the major carbohydrate in pulses, is crucial for the digestibility of the seed. The gelatinization-melting transition of lentil, bean and chickpea starches was studied using Differential Scanning Calorimetry at different temperatures (T values ranged from 20 to 160 °C) and water contents (X from 0.2 to 3 kg kg db).
