W/O/W emulsions were easily prepared by oleogelation of the oil phase using rice bran wax (RBX) and their microstructure, stability, rheology and protection of proanthocyanidins and β-carotene were investigated. Formation of the W/O/W emulsion was confirmed using confocal laser scanning microscopy and staining of the inner aqueous phase by tartrazine . The average particle size and viscosity of the emulsion increased as the RBX concentration increased. Moreover, RBX increased the stability of the emulsion and the emulsion was the most stable when the RBX concentration was 8.0% or 10.0%. On the other hand, the W/O/W emulsions were used to simultaneously encapsulate proanthocyanidins and β-carotene. Specifically, proanthocyanidins and β-carotene in RBX-containing emulsions were more stable and had higher bioaccessibility than in the emulsion without RBX. Besides, both their chemical stability and bioaccessibility reached the maximum value when the RBX concentration was 8.0% or 10.0%. In summary, the optimal RBX concentration was 8.0%.

Series of “Hopcalite” catalysts for low-temperature CO oxidation are prepared through a facile ultra-sonic spray pyrolysis approach. It has been found that the spray pyrolysis temperature and Cu/Mn atomic ratio in initial precursors show significant impacts on the catalytic activity of Cu-Mn-O catalysts. The catalyst synthesized at 550 °C with Cu/Mn = 1/2 in precursor (Cu1Mn2-550) shows the highest catalytic activity towards CO oxidation (T 100 = 63 °C; E a = 17.04 KJ mol −1 ), owing to the formation of CuMn 2 O 4 phase with poor crystallinity. The synergistic effect of Cu and Mn species in spinel Cu-Mn-O phases attributes to the evaluated catalytic activity compared with those of pure oxides of copper or manganese towards CO oxidation. The results reveal that Cu1Mn2-550 not only provides more defects and vacancies to create more active sites, but also generates more highly active Cu (II) to promote CO oxidation. On the contrary, the decreasing amount of Cu (II) and the higher degree of crystallinity resulting from higher synthesis temperature lead to the deterioration of catalytic activity. Moreover, the phase transformation among the Cu x Mn 3-x O 4 spinels also shows significant effect on CO conversion rate. Finally, the formation mechanism of Cu-Mn-O catalysts and related CO oxidation process are discussed based on series of characterizations.

Nanoparticle delivery of functional molecules or vaccines is an effective method for the treatment of many diseases. This study aims to design ginsenoside Rh2-conjugated O-carboxymethyl chitosan (O-CMC/Rh2) as a drug delivery system and explore its anti-nociceptive effects. O-CMC/Rh2 was synthesized with an esterification reaction, and its chemical composition and morphology were evaluated using proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), the attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In addition, the in vitro cumulative release of Rh2 from the O-CMC/Rh2 was also evaluated under different pH conditions. The results showed that the ginsenoside Rh2 was successfully conjugated to the O-CMC matrix and exhibited a highly porous structure after conjugation, facilitating the release of Rh2 from O-CMC. Complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA) and burn injury-induced pain models were used to evaluate the anti-nociceptive effects of O-CMC/Rh2 on inflammatory pain. O-CMC/Rh2 reduced CFA-induced pain hypersensitivity in a dose-dependent manner and had a longer analgesic effect than Rh2. In addition, O-CMC/Rh2 also relieved the chronic pain induced by bury injury. These results indicated that O-CMC/Rh2 could be useful in reducing inflammatory pain, thus possessing a potential medicinal application in pain therapy.Keywords:O-carboxymethyl chitosan;ginsenoside Rh2;anti-nociception;inflammatory pain

Pleurotus placentodes, a fungus, belongs to the Pleurotaceae family. The aim of the present study was to characterize the structure of a novel polysaccharide from fruiting bodies of P. placentodes (PPp-W) and evaluate its anticoagulant activity in vitro. The high-performance liquid chromatography and GC–MS analysis indicated that PPp-W with a molecular weight of 27.4 kDa was mainly composed of mannose (17.56%), glucose (6.37%), galactose (44.89%), and fucose (1.22%) with a certain amount of 3-O-methyled galactose. SEM, XRD, and AFM combined with Congo red test revealed that PPp-W was an irregular curly sheet with triple-helix conformation. The FT-IR, methylation, and nuclear magnetic resonance analysis indicated that PPp-W contained→6)-α-D-Galp-(1→, →6)-3-O-Me-α-D-Galp-(1→and →2, 6)-α-D-Galp-(1→ as main chain, partially substituted at O-2 and O-6 by non-reducing ends of β-D-Manp-(1→ and β-L-Fucp-(1→ with a small amount of α-1,3-linked-Glcp in backbone. PPp-W could significantly prolong APTT (12.9 ± 0.42 s, p < 0.001) and thrombin time (39.9 ± 0.28 s, p < 0.01) compared with the control group (11.45 ± 0.071 s and 38.05 ± 0.21 s), which showed that PPp-W had anticoagulant activity. These studies suggested that PPp-W was a 3-O-methylated heteroglycan and might be suitable for functional foods and natural drugs as an anticoagulant ingredient, which provided a basis for the application of polysaccharides from P. placentodes.

A novel silicone resin (SR-OH) containing phenolic hydroxyl (Ph–OH) groups was designed and synthesized via co-hydrolysis/condensation and catalytic hydrogenation. During the curing process, the cross-linking degree of the resin was further increased by the Si–O–Ph bonds formed by the reaction of the Ph–OH and terminal Si–OH groups. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed that the cured resin product exhibited excellent thermal and thermo-oxidative stability, which was much higher than that of a typical methyl phenyl silicone resin (SR-Ph). The temperature at which 5% weight loss occurs (Td5) was up to 606 °C (nitrogen) and 542 °C (air), and its char yield at 800 °C was 91.1% and 85.3% in nitrogen and air, respectively. The significant improvement in thermal stability was mainly attributed to the formation of Si–O–Ph bonds which not only increases the cross-linking degree of the resin but also significantly prevents degradation by the ‘back-biting’ and oxidative cleavage.

This work present a highly sensitive fluorescence method for auramine O (AO) detection in food and drug samples based on carbon nanodots (CDs). The AO can effectively diminish the emission of CDs based on an integrated quenching mechanism of inner filter effect (IFE) and dynamic reaction. The CDs were prepared via a one-step hydrothermal method with citric acid and o-phenylenediamine as precursors. The good selectivity and high sensitivity feature of the proposed method for AO detection were validated. The fluorescence signals were linearly correlated with AO concentration over a range of 0.01‒10.0 µM with a detection limit of 36.3 nM was obtained. The proposed method was finally used for AO determination in traditional Chinese medicine, curry power, bean curb and candy samples with high accuracy. The recoveries ranged from 95.5 to 107.2% and relative standard deviations (RSDs) were less than 3.39%. This work provided a new insight and an operational access to AO detection in food and drug colorants monitoring. Thus, the CDs-based sensor demonstrated feasibility of rapid AO detection considering its appealing simplicity, rapidity and high sensitivity features.

Deuterated organic compounds have gained significant attention due to their diverse applications, including reaction mechanism studies, probes for metabolism and pharmacokinetics, and raw materials for labeled compounds and polymers. Conventional reductive deuteration methods are limited by the high cost of deuterium sources (e.g., D₂ gas) and challenges in product separation and D₂O recycling. Electrochemical deuteration using D₂O is promising, but existing methods still suffer from low Faradaic efficiency (FE) and high separation costs. Herein, we report a deuterium ion diffusion-based all-solid electrolyser, featuring a RuO₂ anode for D + generation from pure D 2 O and a Pd/nitrogen-doped carbon-based liquid diffusion cathode (Pd δ+ /NC LDC) with tunable electron deficiencies Pd δ+ /NC to enhance selective deuteration. This system achieves over 99% selectivity for deuterated benzyl alcohol with a FE of 72%, and demonstrates broad applicability for the deuteration of aldehydes, ketones, imines, and alkenes with high FE and selectivity. Moreover, the Pd δ+ /NC-based electrolyser can achieve ten-gram-scale production of deuterated benzyl alcohol over 500 hours, showcasing its potential for high-throughput, solvent-free deuteration reactions in practical applications.

Phenolic acids are important taste components in green tea. The aim of this study was to analyze the taste characteristics of phenolic acids and their influence on the bitterness and astringency of green tea by sensory evaluation and chemical determination. The major tea phenolic acids and quercetin-3- O -rutinoside (Que-rut) were significantly positively correlated with the bitterness ( r = 0.757, p < 0.01; r = 0.605, p < 0.05) and astringency ( r = 0.870, p < 0.01; r = 0.576, p < 0.05) of green tea infusion. The phenolic acids have a sour and astringent taste, whereas Que-rut has a mild astringent taste. Phenolic acids and Que-rut can increase the bitterness of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). However, these components behaved differently for astringency on EGCG. Gallic acid (GA) enhances the astringency throughout all the concentrations in this study. While it seemed to be double effects of caffeic acid (CA), chlorogenic acid (CGA), and Que-rut on that, i.e., the inhibition at lower concentrations (CA: 0–0.2 mM; CGA: 0–0.2 mM; Que-rut: 0–0.05 mM) but enhancement at higher ones. The phenolic acids and Que-rut interacted synergistically with tea infusion and as their concentration increased, the synergistic enhancement of the bitterness and astringency of tea infusion increased. These findings help provide a theoretical basis for improving the taste of middle and green tea.

Goat milk oligosaccharides are complex carbohydrates with a variety of biological functions. Free oligosaccharides from goat milk show more similarity to human milk than cow milk. At present, changes in goat milk glycoconjugates at different parities remain poorly studied. Herein, we qualitatively and quantitatively compared the goat milk glycoprotein N/O-glycome at different parities using a stable isotope labeling followed by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and online hydrophilic interaction chromatography. N-Glycans were mainly fucosylated and nonfucosylated nonsialylated, and both fucosylation and sialylation gradually increased with parity, amounting (at the third parity) to 1.25 times and 3.3 times those of the first parity, respectively. O-Glycans were mostly nonfucosylated and nonsialylated, and sialylation increased with increasing parity, and Neu5Ac-sialylated was up to 9 times higher in the third parity than in the first parity, whereas Neu5Gc-sialylated was 5.5 times higher. This study provides a reference for exploring an alternative milk source closest to human milk and for the development of humanized formula milk.

For CH···O hydrogen bonds in assembled structures and the applications, one of the critical issues is how molecular spatial structures affect their interaction modes as well as how to translate the different modes into the macroscopic properties of materials. Herein, coumarin-derived isomeric hydrogelators with different spatial structures are synthesized, where only nitrogen atoms locate at the ortho, meso, or para position in the pyridine ring. The gelators can self-assemble into single crystals and nanofibrous networks through CH···O interactions, which are greatly influenced by nitrogen spatial positions in the pyridine ring, leading to the different self-assembly mechanisms, packing modes, and properties of the nanofibrous networks. Typically, different cell proliferation rates are obtained on the different CH···O bonds driving nanofibrous structures, implying that tiny variation of the stereo-position of nitrogen atoms can be sensitively detected by cells. The study paves a novel way to investigate the influence of isomeric molecular assembly on macroscopic properties and functions of materials.

Goat milk oligosaccharides represent an unexplored multi-functional ingredient for the dairy industry. Here, we qualitatively and quantitatively compared the N/O -glycome at different lactation stages via online hydrophilic interaction chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Complex N -glycans and high mannose N -glycans constituted 82.1% and 17.9% of the glycan pool, respectively. N -glycans with isomers containing non-bisected antenna complex structures accounted for 30.8%. N -glycans modified with Neu5Ac, Neu5Gc and fucosylated were 3.7%, 5.3% and 35.3%. The triantennary trifucosylated complex N -glycan (H5N5F3) was reported for the first time. A comparison between colostrum and mature milk revealed a 1.20-fold decrease in total N -glycans and 1.66-fold decrease in fucosylation with ongoing lactation, echoing the trend in human milk. Similarly, Neu5Ac- and Neu5Gc-modified sialylation decreased by 1.69 and 3.62 times, respectively. In the O -glycome, 46.2% of structures were O -linked core 1, 23.1% were O -linked core 2, 7.7% were O -linked core 3 and core 4. As lactation progressed, overall O -glycans content decreased by 1.26-fold. Unlike human milk, Neu5Ac- and Neu5Gc-modified sialylation increased by 4.4 and 2 times, respectively. These findings will facilitate research on the structure-function relationship of goat milk oligosaccharides and the development of formula food targeting different age groups.
