Geum japonicum Thunb. var. Chinese F. Bolle, a traditional Miao medicine with significant clinical potential, is rich in polysaccharides. Despite its importance, there is a scarcity of research on the structure and activities of these polysaccharides. In this study, polysaccharides from Geum japonicum (GJPs) were extracted using various methods, in...

Sacha inchi oil yield, bioactive compounds, and physicochemical qualities are affected by cultivation area, seed chemical profile, extraction method, and conditions.Sacha inchi oil contains high amounts of linolenic and linoleic acid.Sacha inchi seeds contain heat-labile and heat-stable antinutrients, which are found in traces in the oil.Sacha inch...
The physicochemical properties of emulsions based on poloxamers (triblock copolymers of a hydrophobic polyoxypropylene chain and two hydrophilic polyoxyethylene chains) depend on the composition and preparation method. This study examined the impact of poloxamer P188 concentration, autoclaving mode, heating, and salt presence on the viscosity, part...
Eco-friendly, bioactive and edible films from renewable resources are increasingly regarded as viable replacements for petroleum-based packaging. This study investigates the application of Ulva lactuca macroalgae powder (ULP) as an active additive in crab (Portunus segnis) chitosan-based films for natural food packaging. Films with ULP concentratio...
In response to the significant waste of bioresources from passion fruit peels in the current market, aiming to enhance the economic benefits of soluble dietary fiber (SDF) derived from passion fruit peels in the food industry, this study extracted the SDF from passion fruit peels using six different methods and assessed how these methods affected i...

Introduction Coastal wetlands play an important role in the global ecosystem, yet they are increasingly facing ecological degradation due to pollution and the spread of invasive Spartina alterniflora (S. alterniflora). Among the environmental challenges, microplastics (MPs) contamination in S. alterniflora-invaded coastal wetlands is of growing con...
This study investigates the Chinese market’s physicochemical properties and sensory attributes of 14 original-cut potato chip brands. Color characteristics, compositional analysis, sugar content, acrylamide levels, and textural properties were examined alongside sensory evaluations. Significant variations were observed across all the parameters. Co...
Humans have long used antibiotics to fight bacteria, but increasing drug resistance has reduced their effectiveness. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a promising alternative with natural broad-spectrum activity against bacteria and viruses. However, their instability and hemolysis limit their medical use, making the design and improvement of AMPs ...
The processing properties of resistant starch (RS) and its digestion remain unclear, despite the widespread use of autoclaving combined with debranching in its preparation. In this study, the physicochemical, rheological and digestibility properties of autoclaving modified starch (ACB), autoclaving–pullulanase modified starch (ACPB) and native blac...
High-performance cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) is currently employed in ultra-high-voltage direct current (UHVDC) cables, with the electrical tree being an important cause of DC cable breakdown. The comparison of XLPE samples under different manufacturing processes can provide a reference for the progress of cable production processes. This pape...
