Summary: This study investigates the co-transport behavior of functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with positively and negatively charged soil nanoparticles in porous media. The presence of negatively charged nanoparticles increased the transport of MWCNTs, while positively charged nanoparticles inhibited the transport. Additionally, it was observed that the presence of MWCNTs facilitated the transport of both positively and negatively charged nanoparticles. Non-DLVO interactions, such as H-bonding and Lewis acid-base interaction, were found to contribute to the deposition and associations between MWCNTs and nanoparticles. This research provides novel insights into the transport of nanoparticles in porous media and emphasizes the importance of considering mutual effects and non-DLVO interactions in evaluating the environmental risk and fate of engineered nanoparticles.

Summary: Insight into the structure and conformation characteristics of starch that influence its enzyme susceptibility is important for potential applications. In this study, AF4-MALS-dRI was evaluated for monitoring changes in the structure and conformation of potato starch during enzymatic hydrolysis, providing insights into the molecular-level conformation of potato resistant starch. Results indicated that gelatinization process altered the conformation of potato amylose molecules, potentially accelerating enzymatic hydrolysis. An intermediate with elongated branched conformation was also observed, which may play a role in the digestion properties of potato starch. AF4-MALS-dRI is shown to be a powerful tool for understanding the conformation of PRS.

Summary: Crosslinking of chitosan chains with genipin leads to the formation of biocompatible nanogels. The reaction is first-order and size-dependent. The crosslinking reaction results in an increase in the hydrodynamic radius and weight average molar mass of the chitosan chains. The reaction also leads to the formation of branched chains/nanogels with a wide range of molar masses but similar sizes, and the largest nanogels show a scaling relation with a hard sphere particle structure. The reaction is accompanied by a reduction of charge density and an increase in hydrophobicity, which plays a key role in the formation of uniform size nanogels.

Summary: Tannic acid-crosslinked whey protein isolate (TA-WPI) microgels can physically stabilize food emulsions by adsorption to the oil-water interface. The presence of residual un-reacted WPI in the microgels may contribute to the stabilization of emulsions. The physical characteristics of emulsions stabilized by a mixture of microgels and native WPI depend on the homogenization method used, with low-shear methods suppressing coalescence and high-shear methods resulting in highly flocculated emulsions.

Summary: This paper investigates the emulsification properties of coffee melanoidins. The results show that low concentrations of melanoidins lead to creaming, flocculation, and coalescence, while high concentrations transform the emulsion into a gel-like structure. Intermediate concentrations of melanoidins provide stability to the emulsion. Melanoidins act as emulsifiers by reducing interfacial tension and inducing electrostatic and steric repulsion, and they also function as texture modifiers by increasing the viscosity of the emulsion.

Summary: During foaming, bubble formation and stability are influenced by emulsifier adsorption. A microfluidic device is used to study bubble formation and coalescence dynamics, as well as bubble properties, which can indicate emulsifier adsorption. The study shows that the concentration of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) affects bubble formation time and size, with different effects at low and high pressures. In addition, different emulsifiers show varying efficiency in suppressing bubble coalescence. Understanding and manipulating emulsifier adsorption is crucial for explaining foam product properties.

Summary: In this paper, a Lattice Boltzmann model using the enthalpy method is presented for food freezing. The freezing of par-fried french fries is used as a case study, and the simulations show that under industrial-relevant freezing conditions, the crust region remains either unfrozen or only partially frozen. This result is important for addressing the quality problem of crust fracturing during finish-frying.

Summary: In this study, dust formation in the industrial processing of frozen french fries is analyzed, and its similarities with flaking in par-baked french baguettes are identified. The amount of dust is non-linearly correlated with the moisture content of the crust and the freezing rate. Furthermore, the dust decreases with the increase of frozen storage time, explained by viscoelastic relaxation of locked-in stress mediated by moisture migration. Industry can potentially control the dust problem, but trade-offs with other objectives need to be considered.

Summary: In this study, the influence of transition metal doping on the electronic and mechanical properties and electrochemical performance of 2HMoS2/NC was investigated using Cobalt (Co) as an example. Co doping was found to effectively improve the electronic conductivity and active site areas of 2H-MoS2/NC at different positions, optimizing the adsorption and diffusion capability of potassium ions. Furthermore, the study revealed the optimal roles of different types of nitrogen atoms in kinetic adsorption, diffusion, and interfacial stability of potassium ions. These findings provide guidance for the experimental design of high rate 2H-MoS2/NC electrode materials and the optimal design of other functional composite materials.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
