Brønsted acidic ionic liquid (BAIL) functionalized dendritic fibrous nanosilica sphere catalysts, [C 3 PrIm][SO 3 CF 3 ]-DFNS (C 3 = PrSO 3 H), are prepared via a hexadecylpyridinium bromide reverse micelle-directed co-condensation of tetraethoxysilane and 3-chloropropyltriethoxysilane in a water-in-oil emulsion system followed by successive chemical modification with imidazole , 1,3-propanesultone and trifluoromethane sulfonic acid , and the particle diameter, fiber thickness and fiber density of the catalysts are well-adjusted by changing the composition of the starting materials. The [C 3 PrIm][SO 3 CF 3 ]-DFNS catalysts are successfully applied in transformation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to ethyl levulinate (EL). Combination of superstrong Brønsted acidity and unique open three-dimensional dendritic fibrous nanostructures , the [C 3 PrIm][SO 3 CF 3 ]-DFNS can transform HMF in ethanol media rapidly and completely; nevertheless, the selectivity to EL remarkably depends on the fiber thickness and fiber density, which affect diffusion and mass transfer of the reactants and products as well as the accessibility to the acid sites. Among the tested [C 3 PrIm][SO 3 CF 3 ]-DFNS catalysts, the [C 3 PrIm][SO 3 CF 3 ]-DFNS- 1 with the thinnest fiber sheet and considerably high fiber density exhibits the highest selectivity to EL (93.0%). The [C 3 PrIm][SO 3 CF 3 ]-DFNS catalysts also show good reusability, and they can be reused at least for five times without obvious changes of the reactivity, total selectivity, morphology, textural properties and chemical structure .

Problem of research Owing to insufficient stability and low detection accuracy, current 5-HMF detection technologies are limited in complex food matrices Aim of study In this study, novel trifunctional Ag nanoparticle-modified magnetic prickly-like Ni rods (NiRs@AgNPs) were developed for self-calibration colourimetric/SERS dual-mode detection of 5-HMF in foods. Remarkable methodology NiRs@AgNPs integrated magnetism with peroxidase-like and SERS activities through NiRs-AgNP synergy. Aptamer immobilization enabled specific 5-HMF recognition, with 5-HMF triggering dual-mode signal reduction (SERS/UV–Vis) through inhibited peroxidase-like activity and suppressed oxidised TMB formation. Remarkable results The composite exhibited good linear responses for 5-HMF ranging from 0.1 to 6.0 and 0.05 to 7.5 mg L −1 , with limits of detections of 0.05 and 0.02 mg L −1 for the colourimetric and SERS modes, respectively. Significance of study The dual-mode strategy improves reliability and expands the applicability of 5-HMF detection in complex food matrices by overcoming single-mode limitations.

Three novel electrochromic copolymers PTPE-1, PTPE-2, and PTPE-3 were synthesized by changing the ratio of donor to acceptor using the Stille coupling polymerization . 5,8,14,17-tetrabromoquinoxaline[2′,3':9,10]phenanthro[4,5-abc] phenazine (monomer b) was first introduced and employed as multi-functionalized unit with bisquinoxaline structure and high planarity, which was used as the acceptor unit. Two electron-rich monomers ProDOT-decyl 2 (monomer a) and thiophene (monomer c) are selected as the co-monomers and donor units. The three polymers were tested by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), cyclic voltammetry (CV), spectro-electrochemistry, kinetics, thermogravimetric analysis (TG), etc. All three polymers have narrow band gaps of lower than 1.85 eV and satisfactory thermal stability. As to electrochromic switching properties, the polymers showed high optical contrast and fast response time both in the visible and near-infrared regions. The optical contrasts are 53.35% at 540 nm and 66.49% at 1325 nm for PTPE-3, and its coloration efficiencies are 163 cm 2 C −1 at 540 nm, 205 cm 2 C −1 at 1325 nm, with fast switch time of less than 1 s. The color changes of three polymers were diversified and distinct, PTPE-1 changes from chestnut color to blue-gray color, PTPE-2 changes from dull red color to wathet color and PTPE-3 changes from deep red color to light blue-gray color. The excellent properties of the polymers might result from their cross-linked structure and consequent formation of the compatible ion transport channel.

Novel highly soluble phenylethynyl-endcapped oligoimides derived from mixed thioetherdiphthalic anhydride isomers ( m -TDPA) and 5(6)-amino-1-(4-aminophenyl)-1,3,3-trimethylindane (DAPI), 4,4′-oxydianiline (4,4’-ODA) with 4-phenylethynylphthalic anhydride (PEPA) as a reactive endcapping agent were synthesized. The calculated molecular weights of all the oligoimides were 2500 g·mol −1 .The effect of the mole ratio of DAPI/4,4’-ODA on solubility and melt viscosity of oligoimides as well as the thermal and mechanical properties of cured polyimide films was investigated. Experimental results indicated that DAPI greatly improved the solubility (>30 wt.%) of the oligoimides in low boiling points solvents when the content of DAPI was more than 10 mol% per total diamine. All the oligoimides exhibited very good processability with minimum melt viscosity lower than 60 Pa·s at about 330 °C. Tough and brown films were obtained after thermally cured at 370 °C for 1 h and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) showed that glass transition temperatures of the cured films increased up to 340 °C with the increasing content of DAPI. However, the thermal stability and mechanical properties decreased with the increase of DAPI content. The temperature of 5% weight loss was higher than 470 °C in both air and N 2 atmosphere obtained by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). And the tensile strengths of the cured films were about 60 MPa.

Heterocyclic amines (HAs) are a group of mutagenic and carcinogenic compounds produced from the processing of high-protein foods, which include 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4, 5-f]quinoline (IQ) showing the strongest carcinogenic effect. Camels are able to digest HAs in foods, which provide rich microbial resources for the study. Thus, camel rumen and intestinal microbiota were used to degrade IQ, and the dominant microorganisms and their degradation characteristics were investigated. After three generations of culture with IQ as the sole carbon source, the highest abundance in rumen and intestinal microbes was found in the Proteobacteria phylum. The strains of third generation of the rumen contents were mainly attributed to the genera Brevundimonas and Pseudomonas , and the dominant genera in intestine were Ochrobactrum , Bacillus , and Pseudomonas . Microorganisms were further isolated and purified from the third generation cultures. These 27 strains from the rumen (L1–L27) and 23 strains from the intestine (C1–C23) were obtained. Among them, four strains with the most effective degrading abilities were as follows: L6 (28.55% of IQ degrading rate) and C1 (25.19%) belonged to the genus Ochrobactrum , L15 (23.41%) belonged to the genus Pseudomonas , and C16 (20.89%) were of the genus Bacillus . This study suggested the application of abundant microbial resources from camels' digestive tract to biodegrade foodborne toxins.

Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) always suffer from severe abdominal pain and appear to be at high risk for colorectal cancer. Recently, the co-delivery of targeted drugs and gut microbiota has developed into an attractive strategy. A new strategy using gut microbiota fermentation to overcome the interspace diffuse resistance from the mucus layer to control drug release in inflammatory bowel sites (IBS sites) has not yet been available. Here, we designed an alginate hydrogel microsphere encapsulating bifidobacterium (Bac) and drug-modified nanoscale dietary fibers (NDFs). The hydrogel microsphere is responsible for protecting drugs from acidic and multi-enzymatic environments and delivering drugs to the colorectum. Subsequently, the fermentation of Bac by digesting NDFs and proteins as carbon and nitrogen sources can promote drug release and play a probiotic role in the gut microbiota. In vitro evidence indicated that small-sized NDF (NDF-1) could significantly promote short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) expression. Notably, NDF-1 hydrogel microspheres showed a boost release of 5-ASA in the IBS sites, resulting in the amelioration of gut inflammation and remodeling of gut microbiota in chronic colitis mice. This study developed a controlled release system based on microbial fermentation for the treatment of IBD.

A series of imidazolidin-2-iminato vanadium complexes VOCl2[1,3-R2-(CH2N)2CN], Vi1, R = 2,6-Me2C6H3; Vi2, 2,4,6-Me3C6H2; Vi3, R = 2,6-iPr2C6H3; Vi4, R = cyclohexanyl, were synthesized and fully characterized by NMR (1H, 13C and 51V) and elemental analysis. The copolymerizations of ethylene with propylene using the imidazolidin-2-iminato vanadium complexes were conducted in the presence of Et3Al2Cl3. The catalytic activity increased in the order of Vi4 < Vi1 < Vi2 < Vi3, probably due to the different electron donating natures of the imidazolidin-2-iminato ligands. Both high catalytic activity of 2.44 × 106 g copolymer per mol of V per h and incorporation ratio of propylene (up to 32.5 mol%) were afforded by using the Vi3/Et3Al2Cl3 catalytic system in the copolymerization of ethylene with propylene. An ethylene–propylene copolymer with ultra-high molecular weight (Mw = 2660 kg mol−1) could be also synthesized by using the Vi3/Et3Al2Cl3 catalytic system. Importantly, the highly efficient terpolymerizations of ethylene, propylene with 5-ethylidene-2-norbornene (ENB) were also achieved by using this catalytic system, affording ethylene–propylene–ENB terpolymers (EPDMs) with high contents of ENB units up to 9.8 mol% (29.8 wt%) and ultra-high molecular weight (Mw = 1521–2537 kg mol−1). This work offers a unique catalytic system of vanadium complexes for the synthesis of EPDM with both high content of ENB units and ultra-high molecular weight.

Nucleic acids-sensing methods provide the potential to enable and hasten early disease detection and to rationalize treatments, especially for cancers. In this work, a colorimetric label-free sensing system based on target-triggered split-to-intact remodeling of dual-G-rich duplex probe (Dual-GDP) has been developed for amplified signaling of Pax-5 gene. In this sensing system, the Dual-GDP is splited into one hairpin-structured G-rich probe (HGP) and one duplex-shaped G-rich probe (DGP), which can be re-built to an intact form through target gene triggered accurate base-pairing. Significantly, this unique split-to-intact remodeling behavior allows the occurrence of a well-designed active isothermal amplification that can amplify target response with seven stages to multi-channel accumulate numbers of G-quadruplex transducers. When specifically combined with hemin, the formed G-quadruplex-hemin complexes, also known as DNAzymes, can strongly catalyze the oxidization of TMB to a colored TMB + and robustly reflect the target gene even in complex biological environments. We demonstrate that this method offers simplified operations and improved assay abilities for Pax5 gene analysis. We envision these findings might provide new insights to exploit versatile oligonucleotide probes and nucleic acid-based amplification strategies for diverse bioanalytical applications.

Polygoni Multiflori Radix (PMR) has been commonly used as a tonic in China for centuries. However, PMR-associated hepatotoxicity is becoming a safety issue. In our previous in vivo study, an interaction between stilbenes and anthraquinones has been discovered and a hypothesis is proposed that the interaction between stilbene glucoside-enriching fraction and emodin may contribute to the side effects of PMR. To further support our previous in vivo results in rats, the present in vitro study was designed to evaluate the effects of 2, 3, 5, 4′-tetrahydroxystilbene-2- O-β -D-glucopyranoside (TSG) on the cellular absorption and human liver microsome metabolism of emodin. The obtained results indicated that the absorption of emodin in Caco-2 cells was enhanced and the metabolism of emodin in human liver microsomes was inhibited after TSG treatment. The effects of the transport inhibitors on the cellular emodin accumulation were also examined. Western blot assay suggested that the depressed metabolism of emodin could be attributed to the down-regulation of UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) 1A8, 1A10, and 2B7. These findings definitively demonstrated the existence of interaction between TSG and emodin, which provide a basis for a better understanding of the underlying mechanism for PMR-induced liver injury.

5-Methylfurfural (MF) is a critical commodity chemical used as food additive and synthetic intermediate. Opening a sustainable route towards highly selective synthesis of MF from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is of great significance, but has demonstrated extremely challenging. Herein, we report an efficient process for the selective production of MF from HMF over an anatase-supported gold catalyst (Au/a-TiO 2 ). During the hydrogenolysis of HMF, the desired C O bond is maintained and MF can be obtained in a high yield of 83.1 %, exhibiting excellent stability both in batch and flow operation. A combination of experimental and theoretical analyses attribute the superior performance of Au/a-TiO 2 to the synergistic effect of limited H access, low adsorption of reactants, and avoiding condensation, driven by the high concentration of oxygen vacancies in the support. This study highlights a novel approach of tailoring the coverage of active species for the selective transformation of renewable compounds into high-value-added chemicals.

A core-shell structured S-1@ZSM-5 was prepared by a seed-induced method, and its physicochemical properties and catalytic performance in methanol aromatization were studied based on the growth control of ZSM-5 shell. Results revealed that the ZSM-5 shell can be well coated on the surface of the silicalite-1 (S-1) seed under a low temperature crystallization, which induced the formation of worm-like morphology with a controllable shell thickness of 30 nm. Importantly, the weak acid sites dominated by Lewis acid sites can be constructed based on the control of growth degree. For methanol aromatization, the weak acid sites not only ensured the aromatization reaction, but also inhibited the isomerization and alkylation of para-xylene. The selectivity of aromatics and para-xylene in xylene reached 25.96% and 47.53%, respectively. The thin shell promoted the rapid removal of the coke precursor, which gave the catalyst a relatively long lifetime. Interestingly, on such a shell with weak acid sites, the limited sites can be easily covered by coke deposition along with the reaction progress, and thus the para-xylene selectivity can be gradually increased to 73.81%. Additionally, protective desilication was implemented for core-shell catalysts, and the aromatic selectivity was decreased while the catalytic lifetime and para-xylene selectivity remained unchanged. This reflected the inherent catalytic stability for methanol aromatization due to the thin shell and weak acidity. This work provides a new preparation strategy for ZSM-5 with high para-xylene selectivity and catalytic lifetime based on the direct synthesis of suitable acid sites and the diffusion channels.

Thermal processing, Maillard reaction, and caramelization favors the formation of α-dicarbonyl compounds during thermal dehydration of fruits and edible seeds roasting, which are extensively discussed as precursors of different undesirable compounds such as 5- hydroxymethylfurfural. Different studies have focussed on prevalence of α-dicarbonyl compounds and determination of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural from simple food matrices. However, still extensive studies are needed to be carried out for their determination from these complex food matrices for human awareness. In this study, the prevalence of α-dicarbonyl compounds and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural was investigated using an optimized UHPLC–HR/MS after ortho-phenylenediamine derivatization, and by an optimized GC–TQ/MS, respectively. Eight different categories of dried fruits and four categories of edible seeds were analyzed for prevalence of 3-deoxyglucosone (3-DG), glucosone (G), glyoxal (GO), methylglyoxal (MGO), and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF). Significantly higher prevalence of 3-DG was shown in raisins with concentration of 43.36 ± 1.16 mg/kg; however, 5-HMF has shown significantly higher concentrations (165.90 ± 4.41 mg/kg) in dried mango category. Moreover, edible seeds category has shown higher prevalence of 3-DG with 3.80 ± 0.28 mg/kg in hazelnuts and 75.44 ± 3.13 mg/kg of 5-HMF from peanuts. Interestingly, higher concentration of 5-HMF was determined in all analyzed samples than 3-DG, indicating a relation between the conversion of α-dicarbonyl compounds into 5-HMF during the dehydration process or roasting of dried fruits and edible seeds, respectively. Moreover, these methods were also validated in terms of recovery, specificity, accuracy, limit of detection, limit of quantification, and relative standard deviation for all analyzed compounds. Practical Application This study has conducted to get awareness about formation of harmful compounds during processing of fruits and edible seeds in order to get them preserved for long time and to increase their taste properties. This study has clearly stated the prevalence of alpha-dicarbonyl compounds and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural which can later convert into more toxic compounds upon changes in their conformation. Hence, the routine or excessive usage might be health hazardous for us. Moreover, companies should also apply more careful processing conditions posing less effect on fruit matrix.
