Summary: In this study, Schiff-base controlled release fertilizer (CRF) hydrogels composed of dialdehyde xanthan gum (DAXG) and gelatin were fabricated through a simple in situ crosslinking reaction. Increasing the content of DAXG in the hydrogels resulted in a compact network structure. Phytotoxic assay indicated that the hydrogels were non-toxic to different plants. The hydrogels exhibited good water-retention behavior in soil and remained reusable even after 5 cycles. The release of urea from the hydrogels followed a controlled release profile influenced by macromolecular relaxation. Growth assays on Abelmoschus esculentus (Okra) plant provided an intuitive evaluation on the performance of the CRF hydrogel in terms of growth and water-holding capacity. This study demonstrated a facile method for preparing CRF hydrogels to improve urea utilization and soil moisture retention.

Summary: Adjusting the hydrogel chemical component and viscoelasticity to affect the mechanosignaling of fibroblasts can promote fibroblasts differentiation. The study synthesized elastic gellan gum and viscoelastic gelatin at different ratios to fabricate hydrogel scaffolds with varied stress-relaxation properties. The addition of Vitronectin (VN) further regulated the interaction between fibroblasts and the substrate. Fibroblasts differentiation and migration rate were influenced by the viscoelastic properties of the hydrogel scaffolds. The most viscoelastic hydrogel studied met the requirements for promoting fibroblasts differentiation while maintaining compatibility with blood vessels.

Summary: Researchers evaluated the use of stearyl alcohol (SA)- and Span-60 (SP)-tailored sunflower wax/sunflower oil oleogels as a substitute for butter in whole wheat batter and cake. The study found that complete replacement of butter with SA-containing oleogels resulted in a more uniform distribution of gas cells in the batter, leading to a softer and more porous cake. The study suggests that emulsifier-tailored oleogels could be a potential alternative to butter in baking.

Summary: Nowadays, the search for new ways to fight pathogens, which are becoming more resistant to drugs, antibiotics, and antiviral medicaments, is intensively studied. Natural products, particularly essential oils, are being investigated as alternatives to synthesized compositions due to their known antimicrobial properties. In this study, the droplet size distribution and other properties of a particular essential oil composition called five thieves' oil (5TO) were evaluated. The study found that 5TO solutions or emulsion systems could potentially be used for active antimicrobial applications, such as surface spraying.

Summary: The development of consumer-friendly nutraceutical dosage forms is crucial. In this study, emulgel-based candies were prepared as bi-modal carriers for delivering hydrophilic and hydrophobic nutraceutical agents. The physico-chemical properties of the formulations were thoroughly analyzed, revealing the interference of olive oil with the polymer networks of pectin and the crystallization properties of sugar in candies. In vitro disintegration studies showed no significant difference in the behavior of candies with varying olive oil concentrations. The developed jelly candy formulations were capable of delivering both hydrophilic and hydrophobic nutraceutical agents. This study opens new directions for designing and developing oral nutraceutical dosage forms.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of incorporating stearic acid in candelilla wax and groundnut oil oleogel. The results show that stearic acid modifies the crystal structure of the oleogel and increases ordering within the crystallite network. Interestingly, the firmness of the oleogel remains unaffected, but the spreadability decreases with the addition of stearic acid. The addition of stearic acid also affects the color and crystallization rate of the oleogel.

Summary: This research investigated the effects of stearic acid, sunflower lecithin, and sorbitan monooleate on SYW/RBO-based oleogels. The samples were analyzed using various techniques, including colorimetry, microscopy, FTIR, mechanical testing, crystallization kinetics, X-ray diffraction, and drug release investigation. The results showed that emulsifiers did not affect the appearance or oil binding capacity of the oleogels. Emulsifiers smoothed the surface and influenced the crystallization kinetics of the oleogels. The drug release study indicated that emulsifiers had a significant impact on the release of curcumin from the oleogels.
