The self-assembly of rice glutelin (RG) into RG fibrils (RGFs) represents a promising strategy for enhancing its functional properties. In this study, we investigated the effects of ultrasonic pretreatment on the fibrillation kinetics, structural characteristics, and functional properties of RGFs. The results indicated that ultrasonic pretreatment facilitated the unfolding of RG, resulting in an increased H and β-sheet, thereby accelerating the formation of RGFs and enhancing the fibril conversion rate.

In this work, three types of benzenedialdehydes (1,2-, 1,3-, and 1,4-BDAs) were used to prepare BDA-crosslinked gelatin nanoparticles and the 1,2-BDA-crosslinked gelatin nanoparticle was explored to stabilize fish oil-loaded Pickering emulsions. The nanoparticle preparation was dependent on both pH and crosslinker types. 1,2-BDA and preparation pH of 12.

Lipid-coated oxygen microbubbles (OMBs) are being investigated for biomedical applications to alleviate hypoxia such as systemic oxygenation and image-guided radiosensitization therapy. Additionally, they hold potential for boarder application as oxygen carriers beyond the biomedical filed. Understanding the stability and oxygen release properties of OMBs in dynamic aqueous environments is critical for these applications.

Emulsions play an important role in food systems by encapsulating and delivering active compounds, but maintaining their stability under various conditions can be challenging. This study explored how the concentrations of Tremella polysaccharides (TPs) (0-0.75 %) affects the structural of whey protein isolate (WPI) and the stability of their emulsions at pH 4.

Glycosylation can be used to improve the emulsifying properties of protein by covalently binding with sugar. In this study, we prepared coconut protein (CP) -polygalacturonic acid (PA) conjugates by dry-heat method, studied the effect of PA with different molecular weight on the structure and functionality of CP, and characterized the interfacical behavior of CP at the oil-water interface to establish the relationship between interfacial behavior and emulsion stability. The results showed that different molecular weights of PA (28.
