The effect of oat β-glucan (OG) on the structure, interfacial behavior and emulsion rheological properties of sea bass myofibrillar protein (MP) was investigated. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy demonstrated that adding OG decreased the α-helix content in MP from 27% to 22% and increased the β-sheet content, suggesting that OG facilitated MP unfolding. When the OG content was 1.2%, the interfacial tension decreased by approximately 20%, and the diffusion rate increased by approximately 1.5-fold. These changes augmented the physical stability of emulsions. Rheological analysis showed that 3% OG promoted the energy storage modulus (G') of the emulsion. These changes enhanced MP adsorption and rearrangement at the oil-water interface, which enhanced viscoelasticity in the interfacial film and further increased the emulsion stability. These findings augment the understanding of protein-polysaccharide interactions and provide guidance for improving protein emulsion stability.

The synthesis of monomers with two epoxy structures (EIA) was successfully achieved by adopting holo-biobased feedstocks and in situ solvolysis reaction. The molecular structure of EIA was subjected to characterization through the use of infrared spectroscopy (IR), mass spectrometry (MS), and nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectroscopy (H NMR). The EIA was employed as the epoxy monomers for the synthesis of the grafted compatibilizer, resulting in the successful preparation of a fully bio-based and high epoxy value grafted compatibilizer (PLA-g-EIA (PLE)).

The study investigated gelatin extraction from chicken skin-head-feet (SHF) blend using conventional and ultrasound-assisted methods with food-grade acetic and citric acids. Ultrasound pretreatment was introduced as an intervention in the extraction process, eliminating the need for alkali hydrolysis and significantly reducing the processing time. The gelatin yield, gel clarity, textural parameters, and functional properties were noticeably improved with ultrasound pretreatment.

Hydrogels have exhibited significant application potential in the field of new wound dressings due to their unique physicochemical properties and biological functions. However, traditional hydrogels possess limitations regarding mechanical properties, adhesion, and the promotion of wound healing. Herein, a multifunctional polyvinyl alcohol-tannic acid/polyacrylamide-polydopamine (PVA-TA/PAM-PDA) hydrogels are developed.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic disorder affecting millions worldwide. Recent advancements suggest that combining therapies can significantly improve AD treatment outcomes and mitigate the challenges of long-term drug use, particularly with corticosteroids. In this study, we developed a 3D-printed hydrogel composed of gelatin (Gel) and dialdehyde starch (DAS), capable of encapsulating and delivering hydrocortisone (HC).

This study explored the effects of pectic polysaccharide (PFP-T) obtained from passion fruit peel by three-phase partitioning on physicochemical, textural and sensory properties of low-fat yoghurt, compared with citrus pectin (CP). The results indicate that addition of PFP-T and CP both improved the fermentation rate, water holding capacity, texture, and rheological properties of low-fat yoghurt. Especially, 0.
