In this study, rice bran albumin (RBA), sweet potato leaf polyphenols (SPLPs) and dextran were conjugated through covalent or non-covalent interactions to improve the stability and bioaccessibility of astaxanthin (AST) in emulsion systems. It was shown that the RBA-SPLPs-Dex ternary covalent complex demonstrated higher polysaccharide grafting, looser secondary structure, and exposed hydrophobic groups indicating that they were favourable for emulsion stabilisation. In long-term storage tests, RBA-SPLPs emulsifier modified by 50 mg/mL dextran (Dextran50) showed smaller particle size and cream index, respectively. Besides, the retention of loaded astaxanthin was improved by 59.43 % compared to the unmodified model, along with a strengthened inhibition of lipid oxidation in the storage experiment. Besides, Dextran50 also improved the environmental stress stability of the emulsion and demonstrated more efficient AST release behaviour during intestinal digestion. In conclusion, these emulsion systems stabilised with ternary complexes have great potential for the delivery of lipid-soluble bioactive ingredients.

This research aimed to investigate the optimization of lipid-based nanoparticles to improve the utilization of n-3 PUFA source in chicken diets. Three groups of slow-growing Korat chickens were reared under the same conditions and fed a diet containing 6 % rice bran oil (RBO, control group), 3 % tuna oil (3 % TO) and 3 % tuna oil in targeted lipid-based nanoparticles (3 % TO-TNP). The growth performance, carcass composition, meat quality, fatty acid profile of breast and thigh meat, hematological and plasma biochemical parameters were evaluated.

In the grain industry, lipases can hydrolyze the oils and fats in grains into glycerol and fatty acids, causing grain rancidity. If not detected and controlled, it would lead to the waste of grains and resources. In this research, rice bran was taken as the research object and a nanocomposite material with photoelectric activity, TiONFs-rGO, was developed by electrospinning technology.

γ-Oryzanol (Orz) is a powerful antioxidant found in rice bran and oil, known for its numerous health benefits. Nevertheless, its precise impact on skin wound healing remains largely unexplored. This research focuses on comprehensively examining the ability of Orz to promote tissue repair through laboratory-based and animal model experiments.

The comfortable application of creams and powders and the texture of human skin and hair are essential factors in the design of cosmetics and cosmetic raw materials. However, the mechanisms underlying these diverse and delicate tactile sensations are poorly understood. We developed a "biomimetic tactile sensing system" to reproduce the interfacial phenomena that occur on the skin surfaces and evaluated the "moist" and "dry" sensations of surface-treated cosmetic powders and the texture of organogel and dispersion formulations.

Fatty acid esters of hydroxy fatty acids (FAHFAs) are bioactive lipids with promising health benefits, including anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, antioxidant, anti-cancer, hepatoprotective, and cardio-protective effects. Herein, the diversity and levels of FAHFAs in 16 common and exotic plant oils using the chemical isotope labeling-assisted LC-MS (CIL-LC-MS) approach revealed 236 regioisomers from 57 FAHFA families, with rice bran oil (RBO) showing the highest FAHFA content (6.12 μg/g), followed by avocado oil (AO; 2.
