Summary: Dry heating of normal maize starch with xanthan or sodium alginate under alkaline conditions resulted in decreased pasting temperature and increased peak viscosity, indicating improved physicochemical interactions between the starch granules and hydrocolloids. The presence of hydrocolloids on the surface and inside of starch granules after alkaline dry heating enhanced swelling power and solubility. Incorporating xanthan and sodium alginate during dry heating led to changes in the textural properties of stored starch gels, with decreased storage modulus and increased loss tangent, indicating a less rigid and more viscous material. Impregnation of starch granules with hydrocolloids was more pronounced under basic conditions, resulting in changes in the physicochemical and rheological properties of normal maize starch.

Summary: Direct drug administration to the esophagus is challenging due to factors such as dilution and removal by saliva, which result in limited drug absorption into the esophageal mucosa. Various bioadhesive polymers were tested for their ability to resist saliva removal, and in situ gel-forming polysaccharide gels showed superior tissue surface retention. These gels, combined with ciclesonide, achieved therapeutic drug concentrations in esophageal tissues and offer potential for localized treatment of esophageal diseases.

Summary: This study used RNA-Seq to screen the MAPK signaling pathway as one of the crucial pathways for PSG-F-2 pretreatment against AA-induced damage in IEC-6 cells. Western blot and immunofluorescence confirmed the RNA-Seq data, and revealed that PSG-F-2 protects intestinal cells from AA-induced damage through the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway. The findings suggest that PSG-F-2 can be used as a daily dietary supplement to protect intestinal cells from thermal processing hazards caused by AA.

Summary: This experiment investigated the effects of processing parameters, food additives, and fat ratios on the formation of AGEs and NAs in sausages. The results showed that increasing the sausage processing temperature led to a significant increase in CML, CEL, and NDEA. The addition of salt inhibited the formation of AGEs and NAs, while nitrite had a dual role in reducing CML formation but promoting the formation of NAs. Fat had only a slight contribution to the production of CML. The relationship between alpha-dicarbonyl compounds and the formation of AGEs was also explored.

Summary: This study investigated the protective effect of beta-glucan (BG), konjac glucomannan (KGM), and xanthan gum (XG) on the thermo-stability and antioxidant capacities of blueberry anthocyanins (ACN) and their interactions. The results showed that these three polysaccharides (XG > KGM > BG) can preserve the color, stability, and antioxidant capabilities of ACN. The interaction between ACN and specific zones of these polysaccharides was confirmed through UV-visible spectra, SEM, and DLS. The introduction of the three polysaccharides, especially XG, improved the thermostability of ACN through intermolecular interactions mainly via hydrogen bonding.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of protein structure on the viscosity, emulsifying, and foaming properties of rice protein (RP) fibrils prepared using different NaCl concentrations. The results showed that fibrils formed at different NaCl concentrations had different structural characteristics and flexibility. The fibrils exhibited higher viscosity consistency index and improved emulsifying and foaming properties compared to native RP. However, longer fibrils resulted in lower emulsifying stability index due to difficulties in covering emulsion droplets. This work provides valuable insights for enhancing the functionality of rice protein and developing protein-based foaming agents, thickeners, and emulsifiers.

Summary: This study aimed to test the preventive anti-inflammatory properties of Chinese yam polysaccharides (CYP) and sulfated Chinese yam polysaccharides (SCYP) on LPS-induced systemic acute inflammation in mice and investigate their mechanisms of action. The results showed that SCYP can efficiently reduce plasma TNF-alpha and IL-6 levels, exhibiting an obvious anti-inflammation ability. Moreover, SCYP reduced hepatic TNF-alpha, IL-6, and IL-1 beta secretion more effectively than CYP, and significantly altered intestinal oxidative stress levels.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of AA and OTA individually and collectively on Caco-2 cells. The results showed that AA and OTA significantly inhibited Caco-2 cell viability, decreased TEER values, and increased LY permeabilization, LDH release, and ROS levels. Furthermore, AA and OTA treatment led to increased levels of IL-1 beta, IL-6, and TNF-alpha, while IL-10 levels decreased. Western blot analysis revealed that AA and OTA damaged the intestinal barrier by reducing the expression of tight junction proteins.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to investigate the release characteristic of bound polyphenols (BP) from tea residues insoluble dietary fiber (IDF) through mixed solid-state fermentation (SSF) with cellulose degrading strains CZ-6 and CZ-7. The results showed that activities of cellulase, β-glucosidase, and filter paper lyase were strongly related to the BP content. Microscopic and spectroscopic analysis indicated that the cellulose network of IDF was decomposed and dissolved, resulting in a more loose fibrous structure. In addition, the study detected 28 polyphenols components and speculated their biotransformation pathways. Moreover, the BP obtained through mixed SSF showed significant inhibitory activities against α-glucosidase and α-amylase, as well as strong antioxidant effects. These findings could enhance the utilization of BP from agricultural by-products in a more natural and economical manner, and the CZ-6 and CZ-7 strains provided a new approach to understand the release and conversion of BP.

Summary: Fabrication of bead-free nanofibers from pure casein is challenging due to its self-aggregation tendency. In this study, the influence of pH, ethanol content, ionic environment, and casein concentration on the solubility and solution characteristics of casein-based spinning dopes was analyzed. The addition of tetrasodium pyrophosphate (TSPP) reduced bead defects and improved the properties of the nanofibers. The viscosity of the solution depended on the casein concentration, and bead-free nanofibers were obtained at a concentration higher than the entanglement concentration (C-e).

The optimal gelation was achieved at a mass ratio of 1:1 and a total concentration of 0.6%. The gel properties were influenced by the CG/GG ratio, with the strongest gel observed at a ratio of 5:5. The improved gel properties were attributed to hydrogen bonds between CG and GG. The CG/GG binary composite gel exhibited increased water holding capacity as the CG/GG ratio decreased. Furthermore, the microstructure of the CG/GG gel was denser and more homogeneous, supporting its stronger gel rigidity and water holding capacity.
