The aim of this research was to clearly clarify the deterioration mechanism of heat-denatured gluten proteins by exploring the change of aggregation and structural characteristics of heat-denatured gluten proteins in the steamed bread system and the steamed gluten system during frozen storage. An increase in the total SDS-soluble protein content was determined, which mainly attributed to the soluble monomer protein content increased. Combined with the significant increase of free sulfhydryl, from 3.12 μmol/g to 5.06 μmol/g and 2.64 μmol/g to 3.29 μmol/g, respectively, it can be inferred that the proteins depolymerization induced by frozen storage was mainly involved in the breakdown of heat-induced glutenin-gliadin disulfide cross-linking. Frozen storage induced the conversion of random coil structure to β-sheet structure and a ruptured microstructure with small fragment was observed. Moreover, the protein of steamed bread system was easier to depolymerize than that of the steamed gluten system.

There is much interest in analysing RNA, particularly with RNA Sequencing, across both research and diagnostic domains. However, its inherent instability renders it susceptible to degradation. Given the imperative for RNA integrity in such applications, proper storage and biobanking of blood samples and successful subsequent RNA isolation is essential to guarantee optimal integrity for downstream analyses.

Poultry represents a rich source of multiple nutrients. Refrigeration is commonly employed for poultry preservation, although extended storage duration can adversely affect the meat quality. Current research on this topic has focused on the analysis of biochemical indices in chilled goose meat, with limited information on changes in metabolites that influence the quality of the meat during storage.

Egg sausages, an essential component of traditional Chinese hot pot cuisine, have specific storage requirements and are predominantly distributed through refrigerated channels. A significant consideration in the freezing of egg sausages pertains to syneresis and textural modifications that manifest in the protein gel structure upon thawing. This research investigated the efficacy of incorporating whey protein isolate, soy protein isolate (at concentrations of 0.

Recovered microbial community structure is known to be influenced by sample storage conditions and nucleic acid extraction methods, and the impact varies by sample type. Peat soils store a large portion of soil carbon and their microbiomes mediate climate feedbacks. Here, we tested three storage conditions and five extraction protocols on peat soils from three physicochemically distinct habitats in Stordalen Mire, Sweden, revealing significant methodological impacts on microbial (here, meaning bacteria and archaea) community structure.

Objectives: This study investigates sperm utilization and disposal patterns in Oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT) patients undergoing long-term sperm storage. OAT is a major contributor to male infertility. Cryopreservation is a common practice as a "fertility insurance" in case of further deterioration until azoospermia.
