The demand for sustainable plant-based protein is rising due to concerns over the environmental impact of animal-based protein. One promising yet overlooked protein source is the seed cake generated from Camellia oleifera oil extraction (COSC), which contains 14-20 % crude protein. COSC protein (COSCP) exhibit excellent nutritional and functional properties making it a promising ingredient for innovative food products. However, its adoption remains limited. This review discusses COSCP extraction methods, functional properties, and food applications to promote its broader utilization. It also examined how oil extraction methods influence COSCP functional characteristics and explores modification techniques to enhance its functionality. COSCP has excellent functional properties, making it suitable for use as emulsifier, foaming, and gelling agents in food systems. However, cross-linking of COSCP with saponins and phenolics during seed processing compromise the protein yield, purity, and functionality and need to be addressed to fully unlock the potential of COSCP in food applications.

DNA-decorated hapten (DDH)-based immunoassays have emerged, demonstrating supreme advantages in sensing applications because of their excellent sensitivity, specificity, and reliability. DDH combines both a recognition element (hapten) and a signal transduction element (DNA portion) with its highly programmable DNA structure enabling the trigger of signal transduction following a recognition event, thereby introducing a novel signal transduction mechanism to immunoassays. In this review, we provide a critical overview of recent research in the DDH-based immunoassays, which are designed to detect specific small molecules and antibodies.

Although glycine is the simplest of the amino acids, its solution and solid-state properties are far from straightforward. The aqueous solubility of glycine plays an important role in various applications, including nutrition, food products, biodegradable plastics, and drug development. There is evidence that glycine in subsaturated pH 3-8 solutions forms a dimer, as suggested by several techniques.
