Enhanced thermal stability of anthocyanins from black barberry was obtained using an optimum concentration of Angum gum (AG) and cress seed gum (CSG). To this goal initially, the phytochemical characteristics, and the thermal stability of purified and non-purified anthocyanins were investigated to perceive the effect of the purification process. Then the effect of each gum and its concentration was evaluated on the thermal degradation kinetics of anthocyanins. Results demonstrated that both gums enhanced the thermal stability of anthocyanins, while CSG had a superior effect. Findings also revealed that the half-life of anthocyanin was increased at 60°C from 366 ± 22.8 to 432 ± 4.2 and 636 ± 52.8 min in presence of AG and CSG, respectively. TGA results confirmed that the presence of SF-AG and CSG in their optimum concentration enhanced the heat stability of anthocyanin extract. Also, physical molecular bondings were confirmed by the FTIR spectrums where some peaks attributed to both of the extract and the gums were shifted. Plateau or flake-like micro-particles were detected by SEM which correspond with the most freeze-dried microcapsules. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: The results of this study may contribute to the enhanced thermal stability of anthocyanins from barberry that can be used as a coloring agent in beverage and food systems. Moreover, it can be used in preparation of natural nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals.

The composition of the metal-polymer friction pair is carefully considered for interacting with water and hydrogen, ensuring the metals electrode process potential remains below waters in a neutral medium. Simultaneously, adherence to defined chemical composition ratios for the metal-polymer materials is crucial. This analysis is conducted under conditions of thermal stabilization, characterized by a minimal temperature gradient across the rim thickness within an equivalent thermal field.

The magnetic material Nd2Fe14B is one of the strongest magnetic materials found in nature. The demand for the production of these nanoparticles is significantly high due to their exceptional properties. The aim of the present study is to synthesize magnetic nanoparticles of Nd2Fe14B using ethanol in the wet ball milling technique (WBMT).

Hydrous aluminosilicates are important deep water-carriers in sediments subducting into the deep mantle. To date, it remains enigmatic how hydrous aluminosilicates withstand extremely high temperatures in the mantle transition zone. Here we systematically investigate the crystal structures and chemical compositions of typical hydrous aluminosilicates using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, electron probe microanalyzer, and nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry.

Burn-related neuropathic pain (BRNP) can arise following burn-induced nerve damage, affects approximately 6% of burned human patients and can result in chronic pain. Although widely studied in humans, data on BRNP or its treatment in animals is lacking. A 4-year-old domestic shorthair cat was presented with an infected, non-healing wound suspected to be a caustic burn.

Comparing to the solvent-based and waterborne polyurethanes (PU), the solvent-free reactive PU (RPU) is prepared via in-situ polymerization and film-formation of isocyanate-capped prepolymers and macromolecular polyols in solvent-free system. Thus, the carbon emissions and environmental pollutions are significantly reduced. However, the rapid polymerization also challenges the well control of structure and properties, especially the ordered microstructures.
