The mechanism behind textural changes in scallop adductor muscle during boiling was investigated through proteomic analysis, determination of water holding capacity (WHC) and oxidative indices, as well as observation with scanning electron microscopy and multiphoton nonlinear optical microscopy. The hardness and shear force showed the trend of first rising and then falling in 45 min-boiling time. The results suggested that short-time boiling caused the oxidation, denaturation and aggregation of proteins, resulting in the transverse contraction of myofibers and lateral cross-linked aggregation of muscle fibers and a rise in WHC, which led to the increase in hardness and shear force. While long-time boiling caused the progressive degradation of structural proteins such as fibrillin-1, collagen alpha-2(I) chain, myosin heavy chain, basement membrane-specific heparan sulfate proteoglycan core protein, and paramyosin, resulting in a loose myofibril network and the decrease in WHC, which led to the decrease in hardness and shear force.

Knee joint extension limitation in female patients with knee osteoarthritis affects the infrapatellar fat pad hardness and hemoglobin concentration by isometric quadriceps exercise.

Graduate School of Health Sciences, Morinomiya University of Medical Sciences, Osaka, Japan.
Objective: To investigate whether there is a difference in hardness and hemoglobin concentration changes in the infrapatellar fat pad (IFP) during isometric quadriceps exercise (IQE) in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) between those with and without knee extension limitation.
Design: In this cross-sectional study, data were collected at an orthopedic clinic from March 2022 to April 2023. Among patients diagnosed with KOA, those with knee joint extension range of motion <0° and >0° were defined as the limited group (n = 16) and non-limited group (n = 13), respectively.

Thirty male Hu lambs (38.95 ± 3.87 kg; 6 months old) were randomly assigned to two groups: (1) SBM (a basal diet with soybean meal) and (2) FSM (a diet replacing 10 % soybean meal with 10 % flax seed meal) to evaluate their effects on Hu lamb production and slaughter performance, meat quality, muscle fatty acid composition, and antioxidant capacity.

A dysphagia diet is a special dietary programme. The development and design of foods for dysphagia should consider both swallowing safety and food nutritional quality. In this study, we investigated the rheological properties (viscosity, thixotropy, and viscoelasticity), textural properties, and swallowing behaviour of commercially available natural, pregelatinised, acetylated, and phosphorylated maize starch and tapioca starch.

There is increasing interest in the development of meat analogs due to growing concerns about the environmental, ethical, and health impacts of livestock production and consumption. Among non-meat protein sources, mycoproteins derived from fungal fermentation are emerging as promising meat alternatives because of their natural fibrous structure, high nutritional content, and low environmental impact. However, their poor gelling properties limit their application in creating meat analogs.

We use density functional theory (DFT) to investigate the structural, formation energy, hydrogen storage, electronics, thermoelectric and elastic properties of NaXH (X = Be, Mg, Ca, and Sr) hydrides. The band gap is calculated using WC-GGA and WC-GGA+mBJ potentials.
