Excessive dietary salt intake leads to health issues, while reducing NaCl content compromises flavor. Therefore, identifying methods to decrease salt levels without sacrificing flavor is crucial. This study investigated the sensory interaction between the saltiness of NaCl and the pungency of Litsea oleoresin. Glyceryl monostearate (6.6%) and soy lecithin (4.4%) were used as gelling agents to create oleogels, which were then employed to immobilize NaCl nanocrystals, optimizing sensory interactions. NaCl nanocrystals (427.73 ± 61.98 nm) were encapsulated in a Litsea oleoresin-sunflower seed oleogel system with uniform distribution. Sensory evaluation indicated that the NaCl nanocrystal/Litsea oleoresin@oleogel system, with moderate pungency, significantly enhanced perceived saltiness intensity (29.00 ± 1.14, compared to the control, 18.48 ± 1.12) (P < 0.05). When applied to potato chips, this system noticeably increased saltiness perception. This research provides a promising approach for developing low-sodium yet flavorful foods.

Article Synopsis
- Heparin is a complex polysaccharide used in medicine, and isolating it from biological mixtures like proteins is challenging, but this study introduces an eco-friendly method to create quaternized FeO@chitosan nanoparticles (QFCNs) for effective heparin adsorption.
- The QFCNs achieved a high adsorption efficiency of 90.02% and showed better performance than existing adsorbents, indicating their potential for selective capture of heparin, especially in a mixture with BSA at neutral pH.
- X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy suggested that the mechanism of adsorption involves electrostatic attraction between heparin and the quaternary ammonium groups on the QFCNs, making them a promising option for efficient and recyclable
