In this study, soybean protein isolate and hawthorn pectin were mixed to prepare binary hydrogels using ultrasound and microwave techniques. Moderate treatment can not only significantly improve the mechanical strength of the hydrogel, but also increase the tightness of the internal cross-linking. The strengthening of interactions (hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions, and disulfide bonds) was the main reason for this trend. Especially, the ultrasonic-microwave (80 s) treatment hydrogel possessed excellent hardness (33.426 N), water-holding capacity (98.26%), elasticity (G' = 1205 Pa), and a more homogeneous and denser microstructure. In addition, the hydrogel minimized the extent of curcumin loss (21.23%) after 5 weeks of storage. In general, the ultrasonic-microwave technique could significantly promote the physicochemical structure and curcumin bioaccessibility of hydrogels, which showed excellent market prospects in the food industry.

Ultrasound and microwave maceration techniques have been utilised to lower production costs and reduce processing time, while also preventing the degradation of nutrients like phenolics and vitamin C and preserving physical properties such as colour and viscosity. In this study, the effects of several traditional (cold, enzymatic, and thermal) and innovative (ultrasonic and microwave) maceration methods on some quality parameters of aronia juice were investigated. Microwave maceration significantly impacted the soluble solids content of the analysed juices and resulted in noticeably darker juice samples compared to the controls, with lower /lightness (20.

In this study, hot water treatment (WT), ultrasonic treatment (UT), ultrasonic-sodium hydroxide treatment (UST), ultrasonic-enzyme treatment (UET), and ultrasonic-microwave treatment (UMT) were used to treat sweet potatoes. The structural, physicochemical, and functional properties of the extracted soluble dietary fibres (SDFs) were named WT-SDF, UT-SDF, UST-SDF, UET-SDF, and UMT-SDF, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal properties, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis were employed.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how different processing methods affect the interaction between lotus seed starch and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), focusing on their digestion characteristics using a dynamic in vitro gastrointestinal model.
- Results revealed that processing methods changed the crystal structure, particle size, and digestion rates, with certain techniques like heat and high pressure enhancing starch breakdown and sugar release, while others created denser structures that slowed digestion.
- The high pressure microfluidization method produced a starch-EGCG complex with improved enzyme resistance, suggesting potential for developing higher quality, functional food products.

Article Synopsis
- The study explored the effectiveness of different extraction methods to obtain total phenolic content (TPC) from Commiphora gileadensis (Cg) leaves, finding that integrated ultrasonic-microwave-assisted extraction (US/MICE) yielded the highest TPC level of 59.34 mg GAE/g DM.
- It also assessed the antioxidant activity and identified various metabolites (60 out of 64 peaks annotated), highlighting polyphenols and other organic compounds prevalent in the extract, which can be beneficial for pharmaceutical applications.
- Furthermore, the research demonstrated that silver nanoparticles (Cg-AgNPs) synthesized from the extract exhibited antibacterial properties against harmful bacteria like S. aureus and E. coli, suggesting potential use in biomedical materials due
