However, GO is sensitive to environmental stresses such as light, oxygen, and temperature. Encapsulation is employed to enhance the stability and dispersibility of the GO. The present work was aimed at producing and characterizing spray-dried microcapsules of GO facilitated by pre-encapsulation in zein nanoparticles and maltodextrin (MD) as a drying agent. Pre-encapsulation of GO was conducted by liquid–liquid dispersion at the highest homogenization speed of 15,000 rpm, leading to GO-loaded zein nanoparticles (GOZNs) with a <i>Z</i>-average diameter of 234 nm. The effects of MD concentration (0, 50, 100, and 150% mass of zein) and inlet air temperature (120, 140, and 160 °C) on physicochemical properties of the spray-dried powders were investigated. The highest retention of 84.97 ± 2.39% was observed at a zein to MD to GO mass ratio of 1:0.5:0.3 and an inlet air temperature of 160 °C. Increments in both inlet air temperature and MD concentration reduced the hygroscopicity of spray-dried powders, while the addition of MD significantly improved the solubility of spray-dried powders. The primary spray-dried particles exhibited irregular shapes, varied dimensions, surface shrinkages, dents, and absence of cracks. The retention of GO in spray-dried powders was 87.06 ± 0.42% and 77.89 ± 0.81% after storage at 4 °C for 6 and 12 months, respectively, which was significantly higher than 59.14 ± 1.37% and 37.71 ± 0.72% for pristine GO. The improved storage stability of GO and improved powder solubility may allow future applications in the food and beverage industries.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":562,"journal":{"name":"Food and Bioprocess Technology","volume":"18 4","pages":"3585 - 3598"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143602177","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}

The surface colour and opacity were found to be enhanced after the inclusion of MMT K10 and AgNPs. Nisin with 5 wt% MMT K10 nano clay and AgNPs coating provided promising barrier properties such as a low oxygen transmission rate of 369.65 cc/m<sup>2</sup>.day.atm and a low water vapour transmission rate of 1.72 g/m<sup>2</sup>.day. Additionally, the same concentration had the best tensile strength (13.14 MPa) and coating adhesion strength (8.1 N/cm) which were better than those of the other various concentrations. The antimicrobial properties of nisin nanocomposite-coated PP were evaluated against Gram-positive (<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>) and Gram-negative (<i>Escherichia coli</i>) microorganisms. The nano migration of AgNPs from the coating was calculated by inductively coupled plasma‒mass spectrometry, and it was under the limit stated by European regulations.

Addressing this challenge necessitates designing printing patterns without requiring extensive professional skills. To overcome this obstacle, our approach uses image calibration to assist in pattern design. Accurate trajectory mapping between the intended design and the actual pattern was achieved by transforming the image coordinate system into the manipulator coordinate system. This “hand-eye collaboration” in pattern design and printing offers a novel solution for food additive manufacturing patterns and shaping design. The visual equipment was developed, and its calibration accuracy was optimized. On this basis, sub-pixel techniques were employed to swiftly extract the position and shape information of the pattern, facilitating rapid pattern recording. We analyzed the rheological characteristics of various ink systems and investigated the impact of different mechanical arm speeds on product printing. We used the shape context matching method to verify that, compared with manual calibration, image calibration improved the similarity of the printed products by 1.81 to 6.29%.

Three medium-chain dicarboxylic acids (MCDAs), azelaic acid (AZA), succinic acid (SUA), and glutaric acid (GLA), with demonstrated antimicrobial activity, were selected for this investigation to assess the effect of their combination on the microbiological, physicochemical, and shelf-life characteristics of beef products preserved at 4 °C.
