Summary: In this study, the effects of water-soluble fraction of Persian gum (PG) and high-pressure homogenization (HPH) on the characteristics of double emulsions containing crocin were investigated. The results showed that the addition of PG increased the stability of the emulsions and altered the charge on the droplet surface, reducing coalescence. Furthermore, HPH treatment further improved the stability of the emulsions. The findings suggest that the combination of PG and HPH treatment can be used to produce stable double emulsions containing crocin.

Summary: In this study, the effects of high-pressure homogenization (HPH) (200, 250, and 300 MPa) on various properties of apple juice were investigated. The pH, Brix, turbidity, viscosity, particle size distribution (PSD), zeta potential, color, polyphenol oxidase (PPO), peroxidase (POD), polyphenol profile, and bioaccessibility of total phenolic compounds were examined. The results showed that while the pH, TSS, and density of apple juice remained unchanged, the physiochemical properties and enzyme activities were significantly affected by HPH. The bioaccessibility of polyphenols in HPH-treated apple juice was found to be 17% higher compared to untreated apple juice.

Summary: Increase in mixing intensity is not essential for efficient cellulose hydrolysis at higher solid loadings; a lower mixing intensity is actually needed for higher cellulose conversion. Mixing at the initial stage is crucial, while continuous mixing throughout the hydrolysis process is not necessary for improved efficiency.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of high pressure homogenization (HPH) on the interaction between corn starch and cyanidin-3-O-glucoside. The results showed that the interaction was strongest at low temperatures and low pressures. HPH opened the entry channels, increased contact area, and preserved steric hindrance, which increased hydrogen bonding sites.

Summary: Supercritical fluids, such as carbon dioxide and water, show great potential in the fractionation of lignocellulosic biomass in biorefinery processes, providing greener alternatives compared to traditional reagents. Significant research has focused on understanding the impact of process parameters on sugar yield in biorefining processes using supercritical fluids, aiming to enhance efficiency at commercial scale and reduce environmental impact. Additionally, enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass in supercritical carbon dioxide offers a promising approach for mild reaction conditions and could facilitate one-pot pretreatment and hydrolysis for deriving biofuel and value-added chemicals from renewable resources.
