The aim of this study was the discrimination and optimization of irradiation effect under physical and mechanical experiments on garlic. The samples were irradiated with 0, 75, and 150 Gy doses and stored at 4 and 18°C for 5 months. Physical, mechanical, and color properties were measured in the period of storage. Based on the results, all irradiated garlic samples had less quality variation than control samples. Response surface methodology (RSM) optimized dose, storage time, and temperature of the stored garlic which was 75 Gy, 2 months, and 17°C, respectively. In addition, after finding the optimal dose, time, and temperature, the most effective factor as weight loss was obtained and the data were classified by the principal component analysis (PCA) approach. The results showed that the PCA method had a high ability to classify and separate the data obtained from measuring the physicochemical properties of garlic and cover 99% variance of data. Moreover, partial least square (PLS) was applied for predicting weight loss data with R2 0.9999. As well, a mechanical test was investigated for finding the best situation and duration of storage condition. Finally, irradiation prevented the destruction of garlic and saved garlic in the best quality as compared with control or nonirradiated samples. After all this, it can be decided to keep garlic in warehouses and transfer this product with minimum damage.

The effect of 2-hydroxpropyl-β-cyclodextrin (2HPβCD) with or without divalent metal ions (Ca, Mg, and Zn) on the stability of dalbavancin in acetate buffer was investigated. Dalbavancin recovery from formulations with 2HPβCD and divalent metal ions after four weeks of storage at 5 °C and 55 °C was measured by RP-HPLC and HP-SEC; a longer-term study was carried out over six months at 5 °C, 25 °C, and 40 °C. Binding of 2HPβCD was characterized by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).

Composite biopolymer hydrogel as food packaging material, apart from being environmentally favorable, faces high standards set upon food packaging materials. The feature that favors biopolymer film application is their low gas permeability under room conditions and lower relative humidity conditions. However, most biopolymer-based materials show high moisture sensitiveness and limited water vapor permeability, which limits their application for food packaging.

Electrospun poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)-based scaffolds are widely used in tissue engineering. However, low cell adhesion remains the key drawback of PCL scaffolds. It is well known that nitrogen-doped diamond-like carbon (N-DLC) coatings deposited on the surface of various implants are able to enhance their biocompatibility and functional properties.

Fresh-cutting fruits is a common practice in markets and households, but their short shelf life is a challenge. Active packaging is a prominent strategy for extending food shelf life. A systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines to explore the performance and materials used in biodegradable active packaging for fresh-cut fruits.

One of the most challenging aspects of manipulating the flow of fluids in subsurfaces is to control their flow direction and flow behavior. This can be especially challenging for compressible fluids, such as CO, and for multiphase flow, including both water and carbon dioxide (CO). This research studies the ability of two crosslinked polymers, including hydrolyzed polyacrylamide and acrylic acid/hydrolyzed polyacrylamide crosslinked polymers, to reduce the permeability of both CO and formation water using different salinities and permeability values and in the presence of crude oil under different injection rates.
