The oxidative stability of pretreated full-fat soybean flour (FFSF) was evaluated under commercial (Experiment I) and accelerated conditions (Experiment II). In Experiment I, soybeans were pretreated using germination, soaking (24 h), or roasting (110-120 °C), and the dried, milled FFSF was stored for 120 days under commercial storage conditions in two cities in Ghana. Acid value (AV) and peroxide value (PV) were determined. The proximate and sensory quality of Tuo Zaafi, a maize-only dish in northern Ghana enriched with 10-30% of the pretreated FFSF, was assessed. Before storage, all samples had similar PV (1.907-4.305 mEq/kg oil); however, the AV of the germinated sample was higher than that of the unprocessed samples (10.83 vs. 3.13 mgKOH/g oil; < 0.001). After storage, although AV fluctuated, the PV was similar (2.39-3.74 mEq/kg oil; = 1.00). Storage location showed no significant differences in terms of AV (4.96-4.97 mgKOH/g oil; = 0.994), unlike PV (2.07-3.55 mEq/kg oil; < 0.001). Increasing the levels of the pretreated FFSF in Tuo Zaafi resulted in lower consumer preference scores for all sensory attributes. In Experiment II, FFSF samples (dehulled and nondehulled) prepared from germination, soaking (18 h and 24 h) and roasting were evaluated under accelerated conditions (AC) of controlled temperature (45 ± 0.1 °C) and relative humidity (81 ± 1%) for AV, PV, p-anisidine value (pAV), lipoxygenase activity (LOX), color, and moisture. Pretreatment, condition, time, and their interaction affected the oxidative stability of all FFSF samples ( < 0.001). Roasted samples showed the highest increase in AV and pAV in both storage conditions ( < 0.05). Under room temperature conditions (RTC), the roasted and germinated samples had lower LOX activity ( < 0.05) at the end of storage time compared to that of the controls. In conclusion, germination and soaking reduced oxidation of FFSF, while roasting promotes it, despite its common use.

Nitrogen heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are emerging as effective substitutes for conventional thiol ligands in surface functionalization of nanoparticles (NPs), offering exceptional stability to NPs under harsh conditions. However, the highly reactive feature of NHCs limits their use in introducing chemically active groups onto the NP surface. Herein, we develop a general yet robust strategy for the efficient surface functionalization of NPs with copolymer ligands bearing various functional groups.

Abnormality of granulosa cells (GCs) is the critical cause of follicular atresia in premature ovarian failure (POF). RIPK3 is highly expressed in GCs derived from atretic follicles. We focus on uncovering how RIPK3 contributes to ovarian GC senescence.

To accelerate the water dissociation in the Volmer step and alleviate the destruction of bubbles to the physical structure of catalysts during the alkaline hydrogen evolution, an integrated electrode of cobalt oxide and cobalt-molybdenum oxide grown on Ni foam, named CoO-Co2Mo3O8, is designed. This integrated electrode enhances the catalyst-substrate interaction confirmed by a micro-indentation tester, and thus hinders the destruction of the physical structure of catalysts caused by bubbles. Electrochemical testing shows the occurrence of a surface reconstruction of the integrated electrode, and CoO is transformed into Co(OH)2, denoted as Co(OH)2-Co2Mo3O8.

In order to explore the management and treatment methods of solid waste in the Controlled Ecological Life Support System (CELSS) of future lunar bases, during the 4-crew 180-day integrated experiment, the Solid Waste Management and Treatment System (SWMTS) was built, in which the treatment of recyclable solid waste such as inedible plant parts and human excrement was completed through a combination of biological aerobic composting and high-temperature oxidation. Basic data on the types and amounts of solid waste generated during the 4-crew 180-day experiment mission were obtained. There were six types of solid wastes, including the work support wastes, the household support wastes, the plant cultivation wastes, the plant-based wastes, and crew feces.
