... To investigate the potential mechanisms by which cold storage affects the water-holding capacity (WHC) of beef through analysis of exudates using an untargeted metabolomics strategy. A total of 877 metabolites were detected in four groups of beef exudates that have been frozen for 1, 2, 4, and 6 days, of which, 278 were identified as differential metabolites (DMs). The metabolic pathways of the DM ...

Abstract:
... Soy protein isolate (SPI) is widely used in the food industry as a gelling agent due to its high water-holding capacity and gelation. As a key in elucidating the structure-function relationships of SPI, subunit composition can explain many functional properties of soy protein. In this study, to explore the influence of α and α′ subunits on the gel properties of soy protein, the gel strength and wa ...

Abstract:
... An effective proton conduction accelerator, polydopamine (PDA) modified hollow metal−organic framework (DHZIF-8), was designed and constructed. Composite proton exchange membrane (PEM) with excellent proton conductivities was obtained by incorporation of DHZIF-8 into Nafion matrix. The hydrophilic groups on surface and hollow structure of DHZIF-8 endowed the composite PEM with higher water retenti ...

Abstract:
... Highly active catalysts with promising water retention are favorable for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) operating under low-humidity/high-temperature conditions. When PEMFCs operate under low-humidity/high-temperature conditions, performance attenuation rapidly occurs owing to reduced proton conductivity of dehydrated membrane electrode assemblies. Herein, we load platinum onto a per ...

Abstract:
... The current study investigates the influence of temperature on the water retention capacity of Gaomiaozi (GMZ) bentonite by conducting free swelling tests at different temperatures. The experimental results reveal that the equilibration time, as well as the water retention capacity, decreases significantly with temperature. A constitutive model for predicting the water retention characteristics wa ...

Abstract:
... Climate change necessitates increased stress resilience of food crops. We describe four potential solutions, with emphasis on a relatively novel approach aiming at true tolerance of drought rather than improved water-holding capacity of crops, which is a common approach in current breeding and genome editing efforts. Some Angiosperms are known to tolerate loss of 95% of their cellular water, witho ...

Abstract:
... Annealing is a modification method that can improve the physicochemical properties of starch. The effect of moisture content (MC) and time (t) on the physicochemical properties of ulluco starch obtained by annealing (ANN) modification was studied. The results showed the ulluco‐modified starches improved physicochemical properties such as solubility, water‐holding capacity (WHC), oil‐holding capaci ...

Abstract:
... The aim of the study was to investigate the denaturation manner of sarcoplasmic proteins (SP) under PSE condition to explain their positive impacts on water-holding compacity. We found that the SP precipitation under PSE-like condition (pH 5.5, 40 °C) and heating conditions (pH 5.5, 7.0, 8.0, 55 °C) were similar, but the myofibrillar water-holding capacity was improved only under PSE-like conditio ...

Abstract:
... The water occurrence states in waste-activated sludge (WAS) are crucial to its dewaterability and significantly influenced by the water-retaining capacity of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) matrix. Accordingly, the non-selective •OH-oxidation processes were widely reported for the sludge dewaterability improvement, just because it can non-selectively destruct complex structure units of EP ...

Abstract:
... The evolution of rural to urban areas has a negative impact on the availability of green zones. The lack of space gives green concrete walls the opportunity to introduce vegetated areas in highly urbanized cities. However, cementitious materials are not the best substrate for plants. Still, diverse microbial communities are suitable for colonizing cementitious materials, allowing later introductio ...
