Abstract:
... Hydrogels are important in foods. Although the hydrogel microstructure has been commonly reported, the effect of the microstructure before and after gelation on gel properties was rarely investigated. This work aims to explore the effects of micro- and macro-phase separation of type-A gelatin-dextran (GEA/DE) aqueous solutions on the rheological, texture, and hydration properties of GEA/DE hydroge ...

Abstract:
... Specific and sustained release of nutrients from capsules to the gastrointestinal tract has attracted many attentions in the field of food and drug delivery. In this work, we reported a monoaxial dispersion electrospraying-ionotropic gelation technique to prepare multicore millimeter-sized spherical capsules for specific and sustained release of fish oil. The spherical capsules had diameters from ...
... Gardenia blue could be effectively stabilized by gelatin and could be further enhanced by high-temperature based covalent-crosslinking reaction. The crosslinking reaction between amino acids and genipin promotes the generation of new gardenia blue molecules, facilitates the stable network structure, and improves the thermal stability of gelatin-gardenia blue systems (T₁ increased to 90 °C and T₂ i ...
... Double emulsions have very promising application prospects in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries. Nevertheless, its usage in the food industry is restricted mainly due to its immense stability problems. Here, W₁/O/W₂ double emulsion was prepared by two-step emulsification method using ultrasonic emulsification technology. The physicochemical stability, rheological properties, therma ...

Abstract:
... The Pickering emulsions containing cinnamon essential oil (CEO) stabilized by lignocellulose nanocrystals-tannic acid (LCNC-TA) complexes were used to improve properties of gelatin film. The influences of various volume proportion mixed oil (sunflower oil/CEO 1:0, 5:1, 2:1 and 1:1) were investigated. Introducing CEO reduced the droplet size approximately from 57 to 30 μm, facilitating droplet dist ...
... The antimicrobial properties of essential oils from spice and medicinal plants have aroused interest for their potential as an alternative to the use of chemical preservatives in foods. In this work, we studied the bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects of Oregano, Thyme, Clove, Cinnamon and Black-pepper essential oils (EOs) against strains of Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria sp, Escherichia coli ...
... To address the limitation of strong hydrophilicity of edible films, starch/gelatin (S/G) films incorporated with natural waxes (beeswax (BW), candelilla wax (CL), and carnauba wax (CB)) were fabricated by extrusion blowing. Rheological analysis demonstrated that the incorporation of natural waxes reduced storage modulus and complex viscosity of S/G blends. BW and CL weakened molecular interactions ...
... Potential pH-responsive films were developed based on incorporating anthocyanin, phycocyanin, and a mixture of anthocyanin-phycocyanin (at a ratio of 3:1 v/v) within composite gelatin (1.5 g / 100 g film solution)/soybean polysaccharide (2.5 g / 100 g film solution) matrices. FTIR and SEM assessments certified the incorporation of the pigments into the film matrices. All the colorimetric films wer ...

Abstract:
... An enterocin whey solution, obtained by growing Enterococcus faecalis L2B21K3 and L3A21K6 in sweet whey – enterocin whey solution (EWS), was incorporated into gelatin/glycerol films that were tested for the control of Listeria monocytogenes. The films containing enterocins produced by either strain (EWS L2 and EWS K6 films) were shown to serve as a suitable matrix for bacteriocin release, preserve ...

Abstract:
... The catechin and tannins as crosslinking and antioxidant compounds were added into sodium alginate/gelatin/poly(vinyl alcohol) (SA/GEL/PVA) blend film with 0.5%, 2%, and 5% (based on the total mass of polymers), respectively. This study aims to investigate the effect of different polyphenols on the structural and functional properties of food packaging film. Molecular interactions among polyphenol ...

This study aimed to investigate the food matrix impact of adding two different proteins, whey protein (WP), bovine gelatin protein (BG) or their respective hydrolysates (WPH or BGH), and two hydrocolloids, neutral modified waxy-maize starch (MS) or charged carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), on flow and viscoelastic properties, oral processing, and in vitro gastrointestinal digestion of protein-enriche ...
... In this investigation, the tryptophan requirement of C. punctatus fingerling (5.45 ± 0.07 g) was determined by feeding seven isoproteic (450 g kg⁻¹ CP) and isoenergetic (14.7 kJ g⁻¹ DE) diets with graded levels of tryptophan 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 10 g kg⁻¹, respectively to randomly stocked groups in triplicate at 8:00, 12:30 and 17:30 h near to satiety for 12 weeks. Tryptophan contributed by casei ...
... Significant research exists on small-scale, quasi-static failure behaviour of Z-pinned composite laminates. However, little work has been conducted on large-scale, high strain-rate behaviour of Z-pinned composites at structural level. Small-scale testing is often at an insufficient scale to invoke the full crack bridging effects of the Z-pins. Full-scale testing on real components involves large l ...

Abstract:
... The soaking strategy with the Hofmeister effect has been proposed to fabricate gelatin- based hydrogels with excellent properties. However, the modulation mechanism of hydrogels lacks in-depth study. In this work, we studied in detail the effects of Hofmeister ions on the structural, thermal, viscoelastic and mechanical properties of gelatin hydrogels. The results showed that kosmotropic anions (C ...
... Current hydrogel strain sensors have met assorted essential requirements of wearing comfort, mechanical toughness, and strain sensitivity. However, an increment in the toughness of a hydrogel usually leads to an increase in elastic moduli that could be unfavorable for wearing comfort. In addition, traits of biofriendly and sustainability require synthesis of the hydrogels from natural polymer-base ...
... Medical science has witnessed significant progress in the development of hemostatic materials, which save lives by supporting natural hemostatic ability. However, for the hemostasis under coagulopathy where natural hemostatic ability is dysfunctional, many conventional hemostatic materials are ineffective. Recent advances in hemostatic materials, including fibrin, chitosan, gelatin, nanoparticles, ...

Abstract:
... The reversibility and stability of aqueous zinc-ion batteries are largely limited by inevitable parasitic reactions at the interface and uncontrollable dendrite growth. Inspired by self-healing smart electronic materials, we propose a confinement strategy with gelatin, an amphiphilic macromolecule, as additive to regulate the deposition behavior of Zn ions and utilize the dendrites to fill the sur ...

Abstract:
... PI3Kβ is required for invadopodia‐mediated matrix degradation by breast cancer cells. Invadopodia maturation requires GPCR activation of PI3Kβ and its coupling to SHIP2 to produce PI(3,4)P₂. We now test whether selectivity for PI3Kβ is preserved under conditions of mutational increases in PI3K activity. In breast cancer cells where PI3Kβ is inhibited, short‐chain diC8‐PIP₃ rescues gelatin degradat ...

Abstract:
... The deformable diversity of organisms in nature has inspired the development of bionic hydrogel actuators. However, the anisotropic structures of hydrogel actuators cannot be altered after the fabrication process, which restricts hydrogel actuators to provide complex and diverse shape deformations. Herein, we propose a dual programming method to generate numerous anisotropic structures from initia ...
