In this study, a novel type of microgels (MGs) was successfully prepared by using chestnut starch (CS) and casein (CA) under high-pressure homogenization. Thermodynamic analyses showed that CS interacts with porous starch (PS) to form the MGs process, and the binding is spontaneous and robust (ΔG&lt;0). Furthermore, ΔH&lt;0 and ΔS&lt;0 indicate that the binding process is exothermic and enthalpy-driven, and the main interaction forces are hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic forces. Molecular docking predicted the lowest binding energy of −2.90 kcal/mol and localized the casein-protein and PS binding within the amino acid sequence residues 20 to 55. Spectroscopy revealed that high-pressure homogenization increases the α-helical and β-folding content of proteins and decreases the randomly curled structure by 58.81%; the CA molecules are more ordered and tightly packed. The MGs can efficiently load lipase and blueberry anthocyanin, significantly improving their stability while realizing slow release in vitro. Compared with casein-chestnut starch microgels, the anthocyanin encapsulation efficiency and loading capacity of casein-porous starch microgels were increased by 55.49% and 49.96%, respectively. Therefore, the MGs have superior biocompatibility and high loading capacity, which can effectively address the challenges of instability and low solubility of traditional bioactive compounds.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":359,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Engineering","volume":"391 ","pages":"Article 112464"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143138569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While this field developed by adapting techniques used to characterise lubrication of oils, such as using the PCS instruments Mini-Traction Machine (MTM) that consists of a ball rolling/sliding against a rotating plate, methodologies have also emerged using rheometers with tribocell attachments in pure sliding configurations. Our hypothesis is that soft-contact tribology is strongly dependent on the contact mechanics, and as such the measurement from ball-to-pin contact in rheo-tribocell should differ from the ball-to-disc contact in a Mini-Traction Machine (MTM) even at a similar relative speed and contact pressure. We find that when lubricated using Newtonian fluids, the rheo-tribocell results are comparable to the MTM. However, when the lubricant is a multiphase fluid (emulsion, polymer solution) with non-Newtonian rheology, tribological behaviour measured from two devices differs markedly. We interpreted such inconsistency according to the geometrical difference in soft tribological contact, and conclude that a universal relationship cannot be derived between the devices. We highlight that Hertzian contact (assumed in Stribeck-Hersey analysis) is not universally valid in soft tribological contacts, and that it is necessary to consider the mechanics and geometry of the tribological contact when analysing the results. This also makes it hard to compare measurements and conclusions obtained from the different devices.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":359,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Engineering","volume":"391 ","pages":"Article 112462"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143138571","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The methodology is first validated on glycerol and a carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) solution as Newtonian and shear-thinning reference fluids, respectively, at different flow rates followed by application to two pea protein melts at different moisture contents (MCs) in the low flow rate regime typical of a pilot-scale extruder and characterized by a poor signal to noise ratio (SNR) close to the extruder die wall. The flow indices were compared with those obtained from conventional rheometry, showing good agreement for the reference fluids and semi-quantitative agreement for the protein melts. The study confirms that PUV can be used for in-line application in a cooling die by measuring the local flow conditions, as well as contribute to the understanding of protein melt fibre formation. On the other hand, the SNR close to the die wall need to be improved e.g. by using an ultrasound transducer operating at higher frequency and modifying the die to enable quantitative agreement with flow simulations to properly extract local rheometric data.

WB-affected broiler breast fillets are characterized by abnormal tissue hardness, muscle rigidity, and irregular shape. Manual evaluation based on tactile palpation and visual examination is the current practice for WB assessment at poultry processing facilities, but it is subjective, labor-intensive, and may induce contamination. Structured-illumination reflectance imaging (SIRI), which is capable of depth-resolved tissue characterization and three-dimensional sample topography, has emerged a potential means for poultry defect detection, as opposed to conventional uniform illumination-based imaging. This study presents a novel effort to assess WB in broiler meat using SIRI coupled with phase-measuring profilometry. An in-house assembled, broadband SIRI platform with phase-shifted sinusoidal illumination patterns at different spatial frequencies was used to acquire images from normal and WB-affected boneless chicken fillets. Acquired pattern images at each spatial frequency were demodulated into 1) one phase difference image that depicts sample surface geometry and 2) two intensity images [i.e., direct component (DC) and amplitude component (AC)]. Hand-crafted geometric and textural features were extracted from the phase difference and intensity images respectively, and used for differentiating between normal and WB-affected samples by regularized linear discriminant analysis models. The features from the phase difference images were more effective than the texture features from either DC or AC images, and the highest overall classification accuracy of nearly 93% was achieved by modeling an optimized set of features from the phase difference images, representing improvements of about 8%–11% over the accuracy obtained using the features from DC and AC images.

Box and Draper (1965) showed that least-squares analysis of multiresponse measurements can be inappropriate if measurements are correlated, which will be frequently the case. Insight into the experimental variance-covariance matrix is therefore important, but this matrix is usually unknown. Using a Bayesian analysis, Box and Draper (1965) integrated out the experimental variance-covariance matrix to find an approximate solution for parameter estimates, called the determinant criterion. Nowadays, a full Bayesian analysis is possible via Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling that does allow to estimate the full experimental variance-covariance matrix, next to the common kinetic parameter estimates. Two multiresponse examples are discussed to investigate this, using the probabilistic language Stan coupled to R.

One main result is that with both data sets the experimental variance-covariance matrix could be estimated, which gives much insight in the properties of the experimental data and further statistical analysis. Another main result is that, at least for the pinene data set, least-squares analysis leads to unrealistic precise estimates compared to the Bayesian solution, showing that it is worthwhile to use the Bayesian solution.

Part of the sodium signal is missing when sodium is in the presence of charged polymeric material, such as gluten.
