The inhibitory effect of water-tailored natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) constructed from citric acid and trehalose with different amounts on the quality deterioration and oxidation of frozen-thawed (F-T) mirror carp ( Cyprinus carpio L. ) surimi was studied. NADES was obtained by citric acid to trehalose and the effect of moisture addition (v/v) on the structure, physicochemical, and anti-freezing capacity of NADES was assessed. NADES + 10 % H 2 O has relatively low viscosity (25 %) and strong freezing resistance. However, a 50 % H 2 O addition leads to the disappearance of the hydrogen bond. The addition of NADES effectively inhibits water loss, migration, and mechanical damage on F-T surimi. An inhibitory effect of 4 % (w/w) NADES on oxidation was verified by a decrease in carbonyl contents (17.4 %, 8.63 %) and TBARS (37.9 %, 15.2 %) of surimi compared with control ( P < 0.05) and sucrose + sorbitol after 5F-T cycles, suggesting the potential of NADES as a cryoprotectant for the food industry.

The development of nontoxic and efficient antifreeze agents for organ cryopreservation is crucial. However, the research remains highly challenging. In this study, we designed and synthesized a series of peptoid oligomers using the solid-phase submonomer synthesis method by mimicking the amphiphilic structures of antifreeze proteins (AFPs). The obtained peptoid oligomers showed excellent antifreeze properties, reducing the ice crystal growth rate and inhibiting ice recrystallization. The effects of the hydrophobicity and sequence of the peptoid side chains were also studied to reveal the structure–property relationship. The prepared peptoid oligomers were detected as non-cytotoxic and considered to be useful in the biological field. We hope that the peptoid oligomers presented in this study can provide effective strategies for the design of biological cryoprotectants for organ preservation in the future.

Icing of water (moisture) at subzero temperatures with different length scales is harmful to a variety of applications spanning from large-scale aircraft to small camera lens. Existing strategies relying on controlling the surface structure and material are encumbered with shortcomings of short frost delay time, poor durability, and difficulty in large-scale production. Inspired from the mucus secretion of mollusks, we introduce organohydrogel dynamic interfaces that can perform dynamic and reversible exchange of the cryoprotectant and water at the interface, resulting in exceptional antifrosting, antiadhesion, and deicing properties with long-term durability. The replenishable coating shows superlubrication to the surface ice with a sliding angle up to 1.9 ± 0.4o and a frost delay time up to 970 ± 31 min in the presence of water spray (99% relative humidity) at subzero temperatures. The strategy offers a reliable and scalable solution to prevent engineering surfaces, i.e., aircraft, pavement, bridge, and other public facilities, from icing/frosting and ice adhesion, even under extreme cold environments.

Phosphates and trehalose are widely accepted additives in animal muscle products. In this study, the effects of pre-soaking with sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) and trehalose under vacuum permeation (VP) conditions on the physicochemical properties of shrimp muscle were evaluated over 120 d of frozen storage. The results indicate the STPP/trehalose-VP treatments significantly reduced the thawing loss and prevented changes in the texture, myofibrillar protein (MP) content, and Ca2+-ATPase activity of shrimp muscle during frozen storage compared with results of control and individual STPP or trehalose soaking treatments. The histological structure analysis revealed the permeated STPP/trehalose distinctly inhibited the dissociation of muscle fibers and reduced physical damage to connective tissues during storage. Furthermore, analysis of the thermal properties indicated STPP/trehalose treatment increased the Tg’ values of shrimp muscle tissues, likely by restricting the mobility of water molecules in muscle tissues and embedding proteins in the glassy matrix. Thus, the physical destruction caused by ice crystal growth was greatly reduced, due to the absence of water molecules around muscle proteins during frozen storage. Accordingly, the combined STPP/trehalose-VP treatment significantly enhanced the stability of frozen shrimp, and the results support the application of traditional cryoprotective additives. The treated shrimp can be stored at comparatively higher temperatures with limited physicochemical reactions during frozen storage.

A method for simultaneous labeling and multicolor fluorescence imaging of different hepatic immune cells below freezing point is established based on quantum dots . In the experiment, carbon quantum dots with emission wavelength of 435 nm, [email protected] quantum dots at 542 nm and [email protected] quantum dots at 604 nm are synthesized respectively, it is found that when the mass fractions of KCl (as antifreeze) are 12 %, 14 %, and 12 %, respectively, the three quantum dot dispersion systems remain liquid state at −20 °C. After they are conjugated with the corresponding secondary antibodies, agarose gel electrophoresis , circular dichroism and capillary electrophoresis confirm the effectiveness of conjugation. By indirect immunofluorescence method, the above three quantum dot fluorescent probes are used to simultaneously and specifically target a variety of liver immune cells, and the multi-color simultaneous imaging of different liver immune cells is realized under the same excitation wavelength, it is found that hepatic macrophages are arranged radially in the liver, hepatic stellate cells present punctate distribution, and hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells present circular distribution, which is consistent with the results of H&E staining and ultrathin section TEM. This study provides an important technical means for elucidating the structure and function of the liver.
