The ferulic acid (FA) / monoglyceride (MG) mixture could act as a gelator to structure sunflower oil at the gelator concentration ( c ) ≥ 4 % and the FA/MG ratios ( r ) of 0:100, 25:75, 50:50 and 75:25. The rectangular FA and needle-shaped MG crystals in the oleogel interlock with each other to form a 3D network, restricting the flow of oil. The gel strength and rheological performance of the oleogel were positively correlated with c and negatively correlated with storage temperature ( t ). Its gelation temperature was determined by c and r . Its β-carotene protective ability against ultraviolet irradiation was proportional to the FA concentration. The oleogel with r = 25:75, c = 5 % and t = 4 °C could partially substitute cocoa butter for chocolate production. With the increasing substitution rate (W CBS ), the appearance, texture properties and enthalpy change of chocolate gradually deteriorated. But when W CBS ≤ 40 %, the oleogel had no significant effect on the sensory characteristics.

Sunflowers ( Helianthus annuus ) are potential trap crops to attract the yellow peach moth ( Conogethes punctiferalis ) in orchards but the volatile compounds released from sunflowers and their effects on C. punctiferalis behaviour are not clear. Here we used solid phase micro-extraction to collect volatiles released from flower disks of sunflowers, identified them by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, and examined the attractiveness of some of the compounds to mated female adult C. punctiferalis moths in Y-tube olfactometer choice tests. We detected nine volatile compounds (α-Pinene, β-Phellandrene, Camphene, β-Pinene, 3-Carene, D-Limonene, Eucalyptol, γ-Terpinen, and Valencene) with consistently large peak areas for α-Pinene and β-Phellandrene. Among tested volatiles, both α-Pinene and β-Phellandrene were attractive to C. punctiferalis in olfactometer tests but this was only significant for higher concentrations of β-Phellandrene. This suggests that β-Phellandrene may promote C. punctiferalis oviposition on sunflower disks. This study provides insights into volatile chemical mediated responses of insect herbivores to trap crops.

BACKGROUND Soil in uranium mining areas is contaminated by uranium and associated heavy metals, posing a significant threat to human health and ecological security. Chelating agent assisted phytoremediation is a cost-effective and ecologically friendly remediation approach for uranium and associated heavy metals contaminated soil. In this work, a novel slow-release composite chelating agent (SR CMC-g-CMCD -EDTA/AC) was fabricated using carboxymethyl chitosan-graft-carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin (CMC-g-CMCD) as a slow-release carrier and EDTA/ammonium citrate (AC) as a composite chelating agent through the spray drying method, which was used for phytoremediation of soil co-contaminated with uranium and chromium. RESULTS CMC-g-CMCD exhibited superior slow-release performance for both EDTA and AC in comparison with CMC and CMCD. When applied to soil contaminated with uranium (U) and chromium (Cr), SR CMC-g-CMCD -EDTA/AC effectively regulated the release of U and Cr. Sunflowers ( Helianthus annuus L.) grown in treated soil showed a significant increase in U and Cr uptake by 70.55% and 35.55%, respectively, and reduced leaching losses by 34.88% and 37.42%. CONCLUSION SR CMC-g-CMCD -EDTA/AC not only assists in the phytoremediation of soil co-contaminated with U and Cr but also reduces the risk of leaching into groundwater during the soil phytoremediation process. SR CMC-g-CMCD -EDTA/AC-assisted phytoremediation technology was an effective and environmentally friendly remediation means for the removal of U and heavy metals from contaminated soils in uranium mining areas. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry (SCI).

In this article, a novel slippery coating was fabricated from edible beeswax and sunflower oil via two steps. Firstly, an oleogel layer was formed on polyolefin substrate via cooling the hot beeswax and sunflower oil solution at ambient condition. Owing to the adsorption of the oleogel, sunflower oil was then sprayed and immobilized on oleogel layer to form the slippery coating with dual-layer structure. This solvent-free fabrication process was facile and green, and used only sustainable raw materials. The performances such as gel-to-sol dissociation temperature (defined as T gel ) and the adsorption for sunflower oil of the oleogel layers were modulated by the contents of beeswax. Sliding experiments on the slippery coating were carried out by using yogurt as the testing liquid. Owing to the liquid-liquid sliding, this coating displayed good sliding effect, thus greatly reducing yogurt adhesion on its surface. After thirty days storage in a refrigerator, this coating still exhibited the desired sliding effect for yogurt, revealing its application potential in reducing liquid food residue and waste.

Summary Oleogels of β-sitosterol (Sit) and beeswax (BW) were combined at varying ratios (w/w) and added to sunflower oil (SFO) at concentrations of 10 g per 100 g and 20 g per 100 g oil to prepare oleogels (Sit/BW/SFO). Structural and thermal properties were characterised and results showed that the hardness and enthalpy of oleogels were affected by the amount of β-sitosterol and beeswax in the oleogelator combination (Sit/BW, w/w). Oleogels with beeswax as the only oleogelator (Sit0/BW10) had the highest hardness and maximum enthalpy change. Gel network form was influenced by the crystalline behaviour of the oleogelator, and Sit0/BW10-oleogel was densely packed, spherical and white while Sit10/BW0-oleogel displayed a needle shape. X-ray diffraction patterns showed that the oleogel width of the crystals and D- spacing increased with increasing amounts of β-sitosterol and the FTIR spectra revealed that oleogels formed via non-covalent bonding and may be stabilised with physical entanglements.

β-Sitosterol (Sit) and stearic acid (SA) were combined at varying ratios (w/w) and added to sunflower oil (SFO) at the concentration of 20 g/100 g oil for preparing edible fat-like oleogel. The oleogel was characterized using an optical microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), differential scanning calorimeter, and texture analyzer. The oil-binding capacity, melting temperature, and firmness of the oleogel increased with the increase in the amount of SA in the gelator combination (Sit:SA, w/w). The microscopic analysis showed that the gel network formed based on the crystallization and self-organization of gelator molecules, and both gelators showed an independent crystalline behavior in the oleogel. In addition, the FTIR spectra showed that the gel network formed via physical entanglements and was stabilized by non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding. Furthermore, XRD diffraction patterns indicated high lateral packing of molecular layers in oleogel prepared with the Sit and SA combination compared with oleogel prepared with a single gelator. On the other hand, for studying the effect of varying concentrations of gelator combinations, the Sit3:SA2 (w/w) combination was added to SFO at concentrations of 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 g/100 g oil. Specific characteristics such as the oil-binding capacity and firmness of the oleogel improved as the concentration of the gelator combination (Sit3:SA2) increased from 10 up to 30 g/100 g oil. Therefore, it can be concluded that the saturated fat alternative oleogel can be prepared from SFO with a specific Sit and SA combination ratio and concentration.

The use of low molecular weight organic acids (LMWOAs) for the phytoremediation of heavy metals has become a promising technique. We chose five kinds of organic acids (oxalic acid (OA), acetic acid (AA), tartaric acid (TA), malic acid (MA), and citric acid (CA)) with six application rates (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 mmol/kg) and planted sunflowers (Helianthus annuusL.) in Cd-polluted soil to study the efficiency of the phytoremediation of Cd and the degree of Cd toxicity to plants. Treatment with no acid application served as the control (CK). We analyzed the plant height dry matter and the Cd and nonprotein sulfhydryl (NPT) contents in the soil and plant tissues. OA, AA, TA, MA, and CA increased plant heights by 17.6–47.40%, 21.25–39.17%, 12.5–35.52, 5.10–30.50%, and 16.15–49.17%, respectively; shoot biomass of the sunflowers was increased except with MA. NPT decreased under LMWOA application, which, in the roots, increased with the increase in root Cd under LMWOA treatment; however, there was no obvious relationship in the stems and leaves. The composition of Cd in the soil changed significantly under the LMWOA treatments compared to the CK, and the changes in carbonate Cd and Fe-Mn oxide Cd were the most prominent. The plant Cd accumulation of OA, AA, TA, MA, and CA increased by 43.31%, 55.25%, 48.69%, 0.52%, and 32.94%, respectively, and the increase in root Cd content and shoot dry matter quality promoted the increase in Cd accumulation. The LMWOAs were more likely to affect the phytoremediation of Cd by changing total P (TP) rather than total N (TN).

High linoleic acid sunflower oil ( HLSO ) with various sitosterol ( Sit ) to lecithin ( Lec ) mass ratios (i.e., 0:100–100:0) were used to develop organogels at two storage temperatures ( T
s : 5 and 25 °C). The results showed that, at 25 °C, the hardness value of organogels obtained from HLSO with both Sit and Lec was higher than that of organogels developed from HLSO with only Sit or Lec . Microscopy revealed that the shapes of the crystals in the organogels varied significantly with the composition of the structurant and the T
s . At both T
s used, the Sit:Lec (80:20) system had a lower degree of supersaturation compared with the (100:0) system. X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed that Sit:Lec mass ratio of 70:30, 80:20 and 100:0 had similar short spacings, and the presence of Lec might be adverse to the formation of Sit crystal in oil. Small-angel X-ray scattering (SAXS) showed that the layer thickness of Sit/Lec/HLSO organogel was larger than that of Sit/HLSO organogel. It was found that the presence of Lec induced the change of self-assembly structure of Sit in HLSO and caused the changes of physical properties of organogels obtained.

Low cost, low energy consumption, and environment-friendly novel thermal insulation materials are highly attractive for energy-efficient buildings. However, traditional petroleum-based foams and aerogel require complicated processing, high cost, and non-degradability, which limit their sustainable development and application. Herein, multifunctional robust sunflower straw-based xerogels as thermal insulation materials are fabricated by simply filtrating and drying under ambient pressure without any extraction processing, due to sunflower straw raw materials with high content of cellulose . With the addition of KH550 and SiO 2 nanoparticles, the obtained sunflower straw-based xerogels exhibit excellent thermal insulation (0.0469 W/(mK)), superior superhydrophobicity (water contact angle (WCA) = 153.2°), remarkable fire resistance, high mechanical property. These advanced properties make it an ideal thermally insulation material for diversified applications in harsh environments.

Precisely controlling the directional motion trajectories of droplets on anisotropic 3D functional surfaces has great application potential in self-cleaning, drug delivery, and droplet power generation, but it also faces huge challenges. Herein, inspired by the microcone structure in the heart of sunflowers, a nanoneedle-modified microcone array surface (NMAS) is reported. The surface is created using a combination of nanosecond laser direct engraving and electroforming and is subsequently fluorinated. Through programmable control of the laser spot, the geometric parameters and inclination angle of the microcone can be quickly and finely adjusted, thereby achieving precise control of the droplet bouncing trajectory. The results show that droplets can achieve programmable multiple bouncing behaviors on patterned functional surfaces, including gravity-defying hopping and directional water transport. It is worth noting that this functional surface has delayed freezing and anti-freezing effects. Furthermore, this functional surface has a wide range of potential applications, including surface self-cleaning, droplet capture, and droplet-based chemical microreactions, especially in the field of anti-icing operations. This opens up a new way for the directional transport of droplets on biomimetic functional surfaces.

Mixtures of sitosterol (S) and lecithin (L) are able to prepare food-grade organogel by structuring liquid edible oil . In this paper, various S to L mass ratios (i.e., S0L10 to S10L0) in the sunflower oil (SO) high in trilinolein were used to develop organogels at three storage temperatures ( T s : 5, 15 and 25 °C). Influences of mass ratio and storage temperature on the rheological properties of organogels after ten days of storage were evaluated in detail, and the corresponding microstructures of the crystal network in these organogels were studied by microscopy. At each storage temperature, the rheological properties of the organogels formed by sitosterol and lecithin were different from organogels formed from sitosterol alone. The crystal microstructure in organogels also revealed a dependence on structurant composition and T s . By increasing T s , the elasticity and thermal stability of the organogel developed by mixed structurant were enhanced, and the length of microplatelet units was increased along with a decrease in mesh size, leading to the formation of higher ordered networks, and therefore, the most typical example (S8L2 organogel at T s = 25 °C) had a higher elasticity than other organogels. The observed rheological behavior is likely to be associated with the composition of structurant, the storage temperature, the viscosity of liquid oil and the microstructure of crystal network.

Three sunflower head pectin (SFHP) with different molecular weights (Mw = 4.50, 97.23, and 254.64 kDa) were obtained by enzyme-assisted extraction and characterized by FTIR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 1 M HCl solution was evaluated by the weight loss measurement. The inhibition efficiency (IE%) increased as its concentration increases and decreased as the temperature increases. The SFHP with the lowest Mw of 4.50 kDa exhibited an IEmax of 92.05% at the medium concentration (2.0 g L–1). The inhibition properties of SFHP (Mw = 4.50 kDa) were investigated electrochemically and theoretically. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) revealed that the charge-transfer resistance increased as its concentration increases, the double-layer capacitance decreased as concentration increases, and the IE% also increased as concentration increases. The potentiodynamic polarization (PP) revealed that the SFHP acted as mixed-type inhibitor. The IE% reached 90.3% at the medium concentration (2.0 g L–1) of SHFP. The three-dimensional super depth digital microscopy and scanning electron microscopy tests confirmed the formation of inhibitor films on the surface of mild steel. The adsorption of SFHP on the mild steel surface was proved to obey the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The theoretical studies via density functional theory and molecular dynamics simulation further revealed the mechanism of corrosion inhibition.
