Abstract:
... The multi-ligand binding properties of proteins make the introduction of small-molecule ligands an effective approach through which to improve the biological functions of protein-based carriers. In this study, the effect of fatty acids (FAs) as functional ligands on the self-assembly of astaxanthin (ASTA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) and the in vivo antioxidant properties of their ternary ligand ...
... Herein, we report pH-responsive liquid marbles stabilized by 9,10-dihydroxystearic acid (DHSA). The particle morphology and the pH-responsive behavior of the liquid marbles were investigated. The rolling time during the preparation of liquid marbles has a great influence on the thickness of powder adsorption and the stability of the marbles. Compared with the liquid marbles stabilized by other fat ...

Abstract:
... This work used CO₂ as a co-reaction gas to realize in-situ deoxygenation of the bio-oil produced from microwave pyrolysis of biomass, and the mechanisms were thoroughly analyzed. Results showed that the bio-oil obtained at 550 °C (N₂ atmosphere) had the highest yield of 29.24 wt% with the higher heating value (HHV) of 20.27 MJ/kg. The introduction of CO₂ atmosphere reduced the oxygen content of th ...

Abstract:
... Exploring an economic and efficient method for simultaneous passivation of As and Cd in soils is of great current significance. In this study, a low-cost composite material, Fe₂O₃-vermiculite (Fe-V), for effectively passivating As/Cd was synthesized successfully based on hydrophobic aggregation method. The reaction products were characterized by XRD, SEM, EDS and FTIR, results showed that Fe₂O₃ wa ...

Abstract:
... The edible quality of starch paste formed by direct dispersion in boiling water is crucial to the design and production of instant starch-based products. In the present study, the kudzu powder was complexed with different chain-length fatty acids to improve its instant properties. The formation of V6-type kudzu powder-fatty acid complexes was initially characterized. Then, the impact of different ...

Abstract:
... The development of an elution-free solid-phase extraction (SPE) process is of special interest in sample pretreatment. Due to the phase-change merits at relatively low temperatures and easy dissolution in n-hexane, wax spheres show great potential in this field. However, the conventional wax spheres possess a low affinity towards the target analytes when they are used as SPE adsorbents. In this st ...
