In this work, fabrication of soybean protein isolate (SPI)/chitosan hydrochloride (CHC) composite particles stabilized O/W Pickering emulsions using soybean oil as an oil phase was optimized by examining the effects of pH, SPI/CHC mass ratio, SPI/CHC composite particle concentration and oil phase fraction on the stability of the emulsions. The results showed that under the conditions of SPI/CHC mass ratio 1:1, pH 4 and particle concentration 2 %, the SPI/CHC composite particles could stabilize the emulsions with oil phase fraction up to 80 %. At an oil phase fraction of 60 %, the emulsions had a minimum particle size. The microstructure, storage and oxidation stabilities and rheological properties of the emulsions were determined. Using this SPI/CHC composite particle-stabilized Pickering emulsion template, citrus essential oil (CEO) Pickering emulsion (CEOP) was prepared. CEOP was found to markedly inhibit two food-related microorganisms, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. In addition, the CEOP emulsion dilution (containing 4500 μL CEO/L) not only improved the water solubility of CEO, but also effectively retarded the browning and bacterial growth of fresh-cut apple. The SPI/CHC-stabilized Pickering emulsion template constructed in this work provides a promising alternative for the delivery of antimicrobial essential oils in the food industry.

We focus on optimizing oil displacement in brownfields using alkali polymers (AP) flooding. The goal is to enhance rock-fluid and fluid-fluid interactions to improve oil recovery. The evaluation includes detailed screening of AP mixtures to ensure cost-effectiveness and maximize chemical slug efficiency, using an AP pilot project in Austria as a case study.

Many indigenous plants of the Philippines, including essential oil-bearing species, remain phytochemically and pharmacologically unexplored. In this study, the chemical composition of leaf essential oils (EOs) hydrodistilled from (Lauraceae) and (Piperaceae) was determined using dual-column (HP-5MS/DB-WAX)/dual-detector gas chromatography and mass spectrometry analysis. Caryophyllene oxide (15.

The solid phase composition in oily sludge (OS) is a key factor affecting the oil-solid separation of OS. In this paper, the effects and mechanisms of solid-phase particle factors on the oil content of residue phase were investigated in order to improve the oil-solid separation efficiency. Flotation experiments were carried out on single-size sand and mixed-size sand OS consisting of three particle sizes at room temperature without adding flotation reagents.

: Alcohol-induced osteoporosis is a significant health concern, impairing bone formation and enhancing resorption, thereby weakening skeletal integrity. This study examines the effects of palm vitamin E on bone histomorphometry in a male rat model of alcohol-induced osteoporosis. : Three-month-old Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into seven groups, with one baseline control group (BC) and six experimental groups undergoing a two-phase treatment.

Background: Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV) is a phytocannabinoid commonly found in cannabis with potential pharmacological properties; however, its post-acute pharmacokinetics (PK) in humans have not been studied yet. THCV has two isomers, Δ9- and Δ8-THCV, which seem to have different pharmacological properties. We investigated the PK of the Δ8-THCV isomer after oral administration as part of a two-phase, dose-ranging, placebo-controlled trial in healthy participants.
