The influence of the timing of inoculation (sequential and simultaneous alcoholic fermentation (AF)/malolactic fermentation (MLF)) on the chemical and sensory properties of red wines was studied. The impact of the encapsulation of Oenococcus oeni into SiO-alginate hydrogel (Si-ALG) and the addition of lysozyme in wines inoculated with encapsulated bacteria were also analysed. There was a significant influence of the timing of inoculation on the volatile composition of the wines just as on the amino acid and biogenic amine content. The wines produced by simultaneous AF/MLF showed the highest contents of some volatile compounds, such as ethyl esters and terpenes, as well as amino acids and tyramine. Bacterial encapsulation affected the volatile and amino acid profile of the wines, while the biogenic amine composition was not modified. The chemical composition of the wines was not altered by the presence of lysozyme. A trained panel did not perceive substantial differences between treatments.

Biofilms formed by several bacterial strains still pose a significant challenge to healthcare due to their resistance to conventional treatment approaches, including antibiotics. This study explores the potential of loading natural extracts with antimicrobial activities into β-cyclodextrin (βCD) nanoparticles, which are FDA-approved and have superior biocompatibility owing to their cyclic sugar structures, for biofilm eradication. An inclusion complex of βCD carrying essential oils (BOS) was prepared and characterized with regard to its physicochemical properties, antimicrobial efficacy, and antibiofilm activities.

Biomass foam with porous structure has broad application prospects in thermal energy management. However, traditional foams can only passively insulate heat, unable to effectively store thermal energy and prolong the insulation time. In this work, microcapsules rich in paraffin were prepared using the Pickering emulsion template method with phosphorylated cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) as an emulsifier.

Oral fast dissolving films represent a novel dosage form for probiotics. To reduce the dependence of film preparation on synthetic materials, a polysaccharide-based oral fast dissolving nanofilm for probiotics was fabricated through pullulan (PUL) electrospinning. An electrospinnability map of PUL with varying physical properties was developed, identifying a molecular weight of 200 kDa and a concentration of 20 % as suitable conditions for achieving favorable fiber morphology.
