Study evaluated the influence of ozonization (O) time combined with pulsed electric fields (PEF) on the modification of bean starch structure. O₃ was used at a concentration of 0.045 g/L for 60 min (Oz1) and 120 min (Oz2) both individually and in combination with 30 kV/cm (P30). Carbonyl content was higher than the carboxyl content, especially with prolonged treatment times (Oz2), indicating partial oxidation. Additionally, higher levels of amylose and degrees of polymerization (DP ≥ 37 and DP 25-36) were observed in the oxidized starches, with significant changes only when combined with PEF. The main morphological and structural modifications included the presence of agglomerates, partial gelatinization, reduced crystallinity, and lower IR1047/1022 in the granules treated with PEF + O. Oxidized starches exhibited higher solubility, resulting in lower values for rheological parameters, with PEF + 2 h of O (Oz2P) standing out. It can be used as prebiotics, controlled release agents and a texturizer for gluten-free foods.

With the demand for high-safety, high-integration, and lightweight micro- and nano-electronic components, an MEMS electromagnetic energy-releasing component was innovatively designed based on the corona discharge theory. The device subverted the traditional device-level protection method for electromagnetic energy, realizing the innovation of adding a complex circuit system to the integrated chip through micro-nanometer processing technology and enhancing the chip's size from the centimeter level to the micron level. In this paper, the working performance of the MEMS electromagnetic energy-releasing component was verified through a combination of a simulation, a static experiment, and a dynamic test, and a characterization test of the tested MEMS electromagnetic energy-releasing component was carried out to thoroughly analyze the effect of the MEMS electromagnetic energy-releasing component.

This study aims to explore the effect of pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment as a method very likely to result in reversible electroporation of Georgi underground organs, resulting in increased mass transfer and secondary metabolites leakage. PEF treatment with previously established empirically tailored parameters [E = 0.3 kV/cm (U = 3 kV, d = 10 cm), t = 50 µs, N = 33 f = 1 Hz] was applied 1-3 times to roots submerged in four different Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES) media (1-choline chloride/xylose (1:2) + 30% water, 2-choline chloride/glucose (1:2) + 30% water, 3-choline chloride/ethylene glycol (1:2), and 4-tap water (EC = 0.
