In this study, we demonstrated the role of W 1 /O/W 2 double emulsion with alginate-Ca-EDTA system on the gastrointestinal digestion viability of Lactobacillus Plantarum strain liquid. The W 1 /O/W 2 double emulsion was prepared by WPI-EGCG covalent conjugate nanoparticles with compartmented multiple-emulsion nature. The effects of preparation parameters containing polyglycerol polyricinoleate content, oil fraction, and WPI-EGCG covalent conjugate particle concentration on the formation of W 1 /O/W 2 double emulsions were systematically studied. Then, the rheological properties of alginate-Ca-EDTA system in the external aqueous phase of the W 1 /O/W 2 double emulsions as the pH changes were investigated. The W 1 /O/W 2 double emulsion maintained in the hydrogel state at pH below 4.0 because of Ca 2+ coupled with G residues of alginate . In contrast, the W 1 /O/W 2 double emulsion transformed to solution state at neutral pH condition, which caused the dissociation of Ca 2+ from the Ca-alginate hydrogel and resulted in Ca-EDTA chelation. A pH-sensitive carrier based on an alginate-Ca-EDTA system in a set-type W 1 /O/W 2 double emulsion model was exploited by regulating the release of Ca 2+ . Based on the pH-sensitive alginate-Ca-EDTA system and middle oil phase resistance, such a double emulsion supplied a colon-targeted release carrier for the Lactobacillus Plantarum strain liquid encapsulation into inner aqueous phase with the functional protection effect. The results offer a promising strategy for probiotics strain liquid encapsulation of double emulsion delivery systems in oral applications of foods (such as yogurt, fruit juice or cheese) and pharmaceuticals.

The major bioactive ingredient THSG of Polygonum multiflorum is well established for its anti-oxidation, anti-aging and anti-inflammation properties. Increasing evidence supports the capacity of THSG to ameliorate the biochemistry of neurotrophins and their downstream signaling axis in mouse models to attenuate neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. In this study, the neuroprotective effects of THSG were studied in vitro and in vivo. In cultured mesencephalic dopamine neurons and SH-SY5Y cell line, it was found that THSG protected the integrity of the cell body and neurite branching from MPP+-induced toxicity by restoring the expression of FGF2 and BDNF and their downstream signaling pathways to inhibit apoptosis and promote cell survival. The inhibition of Akt signaling by LY294002 or TrkB activity by K252a eliminated the neuroprotective effects of THSG. In the MPTP-induced mouse models of Parkinson's disease, THSG ameliorated the animal behaviors against MPTP-induced neurotoxicity, which was demonstrated by the pole test and the tail suspension test. Biochemical and immunohistochemical analysis verified the THSG-mediated restoration of the FGF2-Akt and BDNF-TrkB signaling axis in the substantia nigra and corpus striatum and the recovery of dopaminergic neurons. These results establish the neuroprotective effects of THSG in vitro and in vivo and unravel the underlying mechanism against toxin-induced neural atrophy, providing a new avenue for the use and pharmacological research of edible medicine for anti-neurodegenerative diseases.

MXene nanosheets based membrane materials encounter challenges in the field of oil-water separation, including narrow interlayer spacing, insufficient stability, and limited photocatalytic self-cleaning efficiency. To address the aforementioned issues, the 2D/2D MXene nanosheets based heterojunction was constructed through in situ growth of porous ZnIn 2 S 4 and freely assembled onto a PAN fibrous membrane with via vacuum-assisted self-assembly technology. The resulting MXene/ZnIn 2 S 4 @PAN fibrous composite membrane (FCM) exhibited high flux and exceptional photocatalytic self-cleaning property. On the one hand, the porous petal-like structure and intrinsic hydrophilic nature of MXene/ZnIn 2 S 4 heterojunction offered the remarkable nanochannel modulation capability, enabling the composite membrane to achieve high permeability (5471.13 -6732.57 L m -2 h -1 ) compared with the conventional MXene based composite membranes with compacted lamellar structure. On the other hand, the heterojunction formed between MXene and ZnIn 2 S 4 significantly improved electron conduction efficiency and effectively regulated the energy band structure, as confirmed by electrochemical impedance spectrum and UV–visible near infrared diffuse reflection test. This imparted the composite membrane with exceptional photocatalytic self-cleaning capability for the degradation of organic dyes, with the degradation efficiency reaching as high as 92.15%. Besides, the rational photocatalytic mechanism was proposed on the basis of free radical quenching and EPR experiments. Such high-flux and enhanced self-cleaning PAN FCM showed the potential in dealing with complicated membrane fouling issues and separating emulsified oily wastewater.

This study explores the potential of energetic metal–organic frameworks (E-MOFs) to enhance the combustion performance of solid propellants. A {[Bi 6 O 3 (tza) 5 (NO 3 ) 2 (OH) 5 ]·H 2 O} n (Bi-MOF) incorporating the energetic ligand tetrazole-1-acetic acid (Htza) was synthesized and evaluated for structural characteristics and properties. The catalytic thermal decomposition of cyclotrimethylene trinitramine (RDX) and cyclotetramethylene tetranitramine (HMX) by mixed systems was investigated. These systems consisted of Bi-MOF and copper-iron hetero-metallic compound ({[CuFe 3 O(tza) 6 (H 2 O) 3 ]·Cl·(NO 3 ) 2 ·4H 2 O} n , CuFe-MOF), previously reported by our group in different ratios. The effect of the mixed system with the highest synergy index on the combustion performance of composite modified double-base propellant (RDX-CMDB) and nitrate ester plasticized polyether propellant (HMX-NEPE) was investigated. The impact of varying carbon black (CB) contents on the catalytic performance of the mixed system was also examined. The results showed that Bi-MOF exhibits good thermal stability ( T dec = 226.9 °C) and insensitivity ( IS >40 J, FS >360 J). The mixed system, comprising Bi-MOF and CuFe-MOF in a 2:1 ratio (M 2 ), exhibited the highest synergistic indices (3.35 and 3.24) on thermal decomposition for RDX and HMX. RDX-CMDB and HMX-NEPE propellant formulations containing M 2 and a small amount of CB exhibited significant improvements in combustion performance. RDX-CMDB propellant exhibited up to an 80.6 % increase in burning rate and up to a 59.6 % reduction in pressure index. The pressure indices of NEPE without and with aluminum were reduced from 0.65 and 0.50 to 0.38 and 0.40, respectively (10–20 MPa, 1–20 MPa). These findings highlight the promise of the mixed system, formed by Bi-MOF and CuFe-MOF, as a potential combustion catalyst for RDX-CMDB and HMX-NEPE propellants.

The aim of this study was to develop an effective analytical procedure to analyse the aroma-active compounds of soy sauce using headspace solid-phase micro-extraction (HS-SPME) coupled to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry/olfactometry (GC-MS/O). Optimization of SPME focusing on type of fibre, exposure time, extraction temperature and ionic strength was supported by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The optimized HS-SPME conditions were as follows: carboxen/polydimethylsiloxane (CAR/PDMS) fibre, NaCl concentration of 270 g/L, extraction temperature of 45 °C and 30-min exposure time. Under these conditions, 25 aroma-active compounds were detected in soy sauce by HS-SPME-GC-O. 2-Methylbutanal (malty), 3-(methylthio)propanal (cooked potato-like), dimethyl trisufide (sulfury, cooked onion), 2-methoxyphenol (smoky) and 2-phenylethanol (flowery) were the most intense. The overall odour impression of the CAR/PDMS-fibre-derived SPME extract detected via human sniffing resembled that of original soy sauce. The intensity of aromas detected by D-GC-O correlated well with the total peak area of GC-MS analysis. Thus, SPME coupled with D-GC-O offers an automated facile method to allow in situ optimization of SPME performance and ultimately effective analysis of aromas.

Alkaline earth lithoaluminates with the UCr4C4-type structure have demonstrated considerable potential in achieving narrow-band emissions from Eu 2+ . However, obtaining single-phase powder samples with green-emitting remains challenging. In this study, we address this issue by co-doping Ba 2+ into the novel UCr4C4-type system Sr5/6-xBaxLi17/6Al7/6O4:Eu 2+ , which significantly enhances phase purity and structural homogeneity. This approach not only reduces the emission bandwidth from 66 nm (2241 cm -1 ) to 51 nm (1830 cm -1 ) but also induces a blue shift to 529 nm, fine-tuning the emission into the desired deep green region. Through detailed mechanistic studies-including low-temperature spectroscopy and luminescence decay analysis-we identify the presence of multiple Eu 2+ emission centers associated with distinct Sr 2+ sites. Ba 2+ doping is shown to promote dominant Eu 2+ emission in the green spectral region, thereby facilitating spectral narrowing.The optimized phosphor achieves a high absorption efficiency of 64.6% and an external quantum yield of 22.2%. When integrated into a white LED prototype, it enables a color gamut covering 97.6% of the NTSC (National Television System Committee) standard, outperforming a commercial β-SiAlON:Eu 2+ -based device. This study provides an effective cationic codoping strategy for designing high-performance narrow-band oxide phosphors and highlights a promising candidate for nextgeneration display technologies.

Suansun is a sour Chinese traditional fermented bamboo shoot product popular in Central and South Asia due to its unique flavor. The volatile compounds and their odor-activities in suansun are unknowns, which hinders the control of the fermentation and causes variations in the flavor and other properties. In order to assess the odor characteristics of suansun and its unique volatile components, headspace solid phase microextraction gas chromatography mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) and aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA) coupled with gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O) were used in this study to analyze three types of suansun samples. The results showed that a total of 43 volatiles were identified and quantified. Sixteen compounds, including five alcohols, four aromatics, four aldehydes, two carboxylic acids, and one ester, had high odor activity values exceeding 1. Fifteen odorants, including four unknowns, were detected by AEDA; eight of these compounds, 1-octen-3-ol, geraniol, p-cresol, nonanal, decanal, (E)-2-nonenal, phenylethyl alcohol, and octanoic acid, had high flavor dilution factors exceeding 243. Triangle difference tests showed that a mixture of p-cresol and octanoic acid revealed a high similarity to one of the symbolic “fermentation” odors in commercial suansun. The composition of the unique odor of suansun is better understood, which provides a theoretical basis for solving the quality control problems existing in the production process and lays a foundation for the modern production of this important product.

Dacomitinib, an irreversible pan-ErbB tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting the human epidermal growth factor receptor, is used for the treatment of metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. To facilitate the investigations on its metabolism and other relevant studies, based on high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC–MS/MS), a rapid and sensitive bioanalytical technique was established and fully validated for simultaneous quantification of dacomitinib and its main metabolite in human plasma. The plasma samples were treated with acetonitrile containing 0.1% formic acid and the liquid supernatant was collected, dried and dissolved in methanol-water-formic acid (200:800:1, v/v) before injection. The chromatographic separation was performed on an ACE Excel C 18 column (2.1 mm × 50.0 mm, i.d., 5 μm) by gradient elution with a mixture of buffer (5 mM ammonium acetate in 0.1% formic acid) and acetonitrile, serving as the mobile phase, with an overall run time of 4 min. Dacomitinib, O-desmethyl dacomitinib and IS were subsequently detected on an AB QTRAP 5500 mass spectrometer in positive ion and multiple reaction monitoring modes at the precursor-to-product transitions of m / z 470.4 → 385.0, m / z 456.0 → 370.9 and m / z 480.2 → 385.1, respectively. The accuracy and precision of determinations were guaranteed within the concentration ranges of 0.25–100 ng/mL for dacomitinib and 0.20–80 ng/mL for O-desmethyl dacomitinib. The intra- and inter-assay accuracy ranged from 92.00% to 104.50% and the intra- and inter-assay precision was less than 8.20% for each analyte. The method was validated and the relevant parameters, including selectivity, interference among analytes and internal standard, carry-over effect, dilution integrity, extraction recovery, matrix effect, and stability, all satisfied the requirements formulated by the US Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency. The clinical applicability of the fully-validated method was evaluated in medicated samples from patients on dacomitinib.

The protein–polyphenol layer by layer (LbL) assembled polymer composite microcapsule is a considerable delivery system that can be used to improve the bioactive stability and effectiveness of natural compounds in various applications. In the present study, three kinds of polyphenols were loaded in the sequence of (−)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), 3,4-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid (3,4-diCQA), and tannin acid (TA) to prepare a BSA–polyphenol LbL membrane. The composition of IgG-(BSA-EGCG/3,4-diCQA/TA)n microcapsules and their stability and releasing ability in the gastrointestinal tract were evaluated. In addition, by binding of these three kinds of polyphenols to BSA, the thermal denaturation temperature and ordered secondary structure of the BSA–polyphenol microcapsules were increased, and the time of scavenging activity on 2,2′-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazolin-6-sulfonic acid) free radicals was significantly prolonged. These findings suggest that (BSA-EGCG/3,4-diCQA/TA)n microcapsules can not only protect IgG in food processing and stomach digestion but also release it in the small intestinal tract for bioactive delivery.

Fu Brick Tea (FBT) is a unique fermented tea produced in multiple regions of China, whose aroma qualities, key odor-active compounds and bacterial communities are not well characterized. By optimizing HS-SPME methods, utilizing GC–MS, GC-O, sensory analysis, aroma recombination and omission experiments, and bacterial sequencing, we revealed the primary volatiles and bacterial communities in 41 samples from 7 major producing regions. A total of 63 volatiles and 32 odor-active compounds were quantitatively analyzed using GC–MS and GC-O, respectively. Sensory analyses discriminated the quality of the samples. Differential analysis indicated that poor aroma FBTs had either low volatile content or excessive “green” notes. Key odor-active compounds in high-quality aroma FBTs include 1-octen-3-ol, phenylethylalcohol, β -ionone, dihydroactindiolide, and 1,2,3-trimethoxybenzene. Sequencing results identified Bacillus , Pseudomonas , and Streptococcus as dominant genera. Functional prediction analyses suggest that bacteria contribute to the formation of FBT aroma. This study offers new insights into the quality characteristics of FBT.

Nowadays, simultaneous removal of organic pollutants and heavy metals from wastewater is still a complicated task with great challenge. Herein, a newly-designed Fe-g-C 3 N 4 /α-Fe 2 O 3 composite with an active N-Fe-O bridge was prepared by coupling Fe-doped g-C 3 N 4 (namely Fe-g-C 3 N 4 ) and α-Fe 2 O 3 . Interestingly, the combination of Fe-g-C 3 N 4 with α-Fe 2 O 3 broadened the light absorption region and restrained the photoinduced electron-hole pair recombination. Meanwhile, elaborate construction of N-Fe-O bridges based on coordination interaction can reduce electrochemical impedance and facilitate electron transfer, thereby prolonging the charge lifetime. As expected, the Fe-g-C 3 N 4 /α-Fe 2 O 3 composite displayed excellent photocatalytic performance in simultaneous removal of tetracycline (TC) and Cr(VI). More importantly, Fe-g-C 3 N 4 /α-Fe 2 O 3 -mediated electron transfer from TC to Cr(VI) also played an essential role on TC oxidation and Cr(VI) reduction under visible light. Both experimental analyses and theoretical calculations revealed that the migration route of photogenerated carriers followed a direct Z-scheme heterojunction mechanism under built-in electric field. The Fe-g-C 3 N 4 /α-Fe 2 O 3 composite with great stability also displayed promising practical application potential. In short, the current work not only provided a highly-efficient photocatalyst with N-Fe-O bridges but also shared new insights into the simultaneous removal of organic pollutants and heavy metals.

1,2,3,4,6-Penta-O-galloyl- β - d -glucose ( β -PGG) is one of active component of polyphenol tannic acid in the rhizome of radix paeoniae alba , and isolating and purifying β -PGG from crude extract of Paeonia lactiflora Pall is rather challenge work. In this paper, to reduce the embedding of imprinted sites and increase the binding capacity, β -PGG imprinted monoliths were synthesized using a strategy of combination of hydrophilic macromonomer with metal ions as pivot. With a small side chain of oligoethylene glycol, oligo (ethyleneglycol) methyl ether methacrylate (OEG) was chosen as the hydrophilic macromonomer. 4-Vinylpyridine (4-VP) and ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate was used as functional monomer and crosslinker, respectively, and Ni 2+ was adopted as metallic pivot. Polymerization parameters, including the ratio of functional monomer/template, ratios of 4-VP to Ni 2+ , and ratios of OEG to 4-VP on affinity of the resulting molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) were systematically investigated. The structure and morphology of the obtained monolithic MIP was studied by field emission scanning electron microscopy and multipoint BET measurement. The greatest imprinting factor can be achieved to 68, which gave rise to excellent selectivity of the resulting MIP. When using the MIP as SPE absorbent, the mean recoveries for β -PGG were 74.1% with purity of 98.35%. The results demonstrated that the combination of metal ion pivot with hydrophilic macromonomer is effective approach to the balance of rigidity of imprinting cavities and polymer flexibility and increase the selectivity of the resulting MIP.
