It is demanded to supply foods with good quality for all the humans. With the advent of aging society, palatable and healthy foods are required to improve the quality of life and reduce the burden of finance for medical expenditure. Food hydrocolloids can contribute to this demand by versatile functions such as thickening, gelling, stabilising, and...

CdS and Cd0.95Mn0.05S were synthesized using a thermolysis procedure in the air and underflow of nitrogen. Rietveld analysis for X-ray diffraction data revealed that all samples have two phases (hexagonal wurtzite and cubic zinc blende). The effect of Mn doping and the preparation conditions on the phase percentages, the crystallite size, lattice p...

We suggest a modified Ti-based electrode for reverse electrodialysis to increase power density and retain long-term durability. Specifically, a mesh-type Ti electrode and electrochemically fabricated Pt/Ti electrode are employed in the reverse electrodialysis single cell. The electrode systems are compared in terms of power output, resistance, spec...

The synthesis of guar gum sulfates by a complex of sulfur trioxide with 1,4-dioxane was studied. The influence of temperature, process duration, and the volume of chlorosulfonic acid on the degree of substitution of guar gum sulfates was studied. The sulfation process has been optimized using the Box-Behnken design. It was shown that the optimal co...

3,7,8-Trihydroxy-3-methyl-10-oxo-4,10-dihydro-1H,3H-pyrano [4,3-b]chromene-9-carboxylic acid is a structurally well-characterized fulvic acid (FA) capable to act as a polyfunctional bidentate ligand in the complexes with metal ions. Investigations of the formation mechanisms and structure of the above-mentioned FA complexes with bivalent metals [Cd...
Microwave-assisted hydrolysis has been widely studied for cellulose fiber isolation, but the influence of reaction conditions and the microwave non-thermal effect are not well clarified. In this study, a series of well-designed experiments were carried out to measure the effects of reaction conditions including temperature, duration and alkali conc...

BackgroundProteases are key drivers in many biological processes, in part due to their specificity towards their substrates. However, depending on the family and molecular function, they can also display substrate promiscuity which can also be essential. Databases compiling specificity matrices derived from experimental assays have provided valuabl...

This study aims to evaluate the effect of ultrasonic pretreatment combined with glycation on the structural characteristics and antibacterial activity of ovotransferrin (OVT). Firstly, OVT (purity >90%) was isolated from egg white with a simple and efficient method. After the treatment of ultrasound and glycation, the browning degree of OVT increas...

Ferritin can be widely used as functional nanomaterial. But the physiological activity of ferritin can be damaged under excessive temperatures, which affect the self-assembly property. In this study, point mutation was produced in Asp120 to Gly120 of ferritin amino acid sequence and the heat resistance was improved significantly. The thermal denatu...
