Fluorescence spectroscopy and FTIR analyses revealed that SWP primarily binds to Que through hydrophobic interactions. Ultrasound treatment induced the unfolding of the SWP structure, thereby increasing its binding affinity to Que. After 400 W sonication, the encapsulation efficiency can reach 95.63 ± 0.60 %.

Initially, aqueous GSH solutions were subjected to ultrasound at varying amplitudes (60 % and 80 %) for up to 30 min using probes of different diameters (13 mm and 19 mm) to identify maximal oxidation conditions. FR formation was monitored using UPLC equipped with diode array detector and fluorescence spectrophotometer for GSH and TPA oxidation, respectively. Increasing sonication time decreased GSH and increased oxidized glutathione (GSSG) in water for both probes; however, the 19 mm probe generated five times more GSSG than the 13 mm, implying a substantially higher rate of FR formation. Subsequently, ultrasound was applied to aqueous TPA solution using the 19 mm probe-representing the more challenging conditions-at a previously optimized amplitude (67 %) during 30 min. Time-course water samples showed a steady increase in TPA fluorescence intensity with longer sonication durations, suggesting that oxidation reactions driven by FRs were progressing over time in water. Following sonication of GSH- and TPA-added SCJ under the same conditions, analysis by LC-QTOF-MS and fluorescence spectrophotometry revealed no GSSG or fluorescence formation, confirming the absence of notable oxidation of both indicators, likely due to the juice's complex composition (e.g., presence of antioxidant compounds).

Expanding on theoretical models and numerical simulations from previous research, this work experimentally investigates the effect of MB size on the rate of resonance frequency increase with concentration, a phenomenon observed across MBs with two different lipid compositions: propylene glycol (PG) and propylene glycol and glycerol (PGG). Employing a custom-designed ultrasound attenuation measurement setup, we measured the frequency-dependent attenuation of MBs, isolating MBs based on size to generate distinct monodisperse sub-populations for analysis. The resonance frequency of MBs was determined by identifying the attenuation peak in the broadband attenuation ultrasound attenuation measurements. Our experimental findings confirm that larger MBs (≈2.1μm) demonstrate a more significant shift in resonance frequency (≈ 5 MHz, ≈ 40%) as a function of MB concentration. In contrast, smaller MBs (≈1.3μm) show a minor shift in the resonant frequency (≈ 1.8 MHz, ≈ 8%), underlining the importance of size in determining acoustic behavior compared to changes in the lipid shell properties. Additionally, we observed that resonance frequency increase with concentration reaching a saturation point at higher concentrations. This plateau occurs at higher concentrations for larger MBs (≈2.1μm), while smaller MBs (≈1.6μm and ≈1.3μm) reach this saturation point at lower concentrations. Furthermore, the study highlights the small effect of bubble-bubble interactions on the resonance frequency of MB populations, particularly at lower MB concentrations and for smaller MBs. This insight is important for applications utilizing MB clusters, such as contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging and MB-mediated therapies. While both size and lipid shell composition influence resonance frequency, MB size has a more significant effect. In conclusion, our findings affirm the need to consider both MB size and concentration when utilizing MBs for clinical and industrial ultrasonic applications.</p>","PeriodicalId":442,"journal":{"name":"Ultrasonics Sonochemistry","volume":"112 ","pages":"107170"},"PeriodicalIF":8.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142823682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
