Vanillin (4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde), a food additive with rich milk flavor, is commonly used in the food, beverage and cosmetic industries. However, excessive consumption of vanillin may cause liver and kidney damage. Therefore, methods for detecting and controlling the level of vanillin in food, especially in infant powder, have important practical significance. In this study, we established a colorimetric assay for vanillin detection. The detection was performed under high-temperature and acidic conditions, which can induce the reaction of the aldehyde group of vanillin with the amino group of o-toluidine. The resulting product had a maximum absorption at 363 nm, which was quantified by a UV spectrophotometer. This assay had a limit of detection ( LOD ) of 1 pg mL −1 and a linear range between 1 μg mL −1 and 100 μg mL −1 . The average recoveries at three spiked levels were in the range from 91.1% to 101.6% with a relative standard deviation ( RSD ) of 4.62% ~ 7.27%.

Dendrimers have become effective drug carriers and gene transfection vectors for medical biomaterials. In this experiment, UCNPs (NaGdF4:Tm, Yb@NaGdF4) and three-generation PAMAM dendrimers were prepared firstly; then NaGdF4:Tm, Yb@NaGdF4 was modified by Polyacrylic acid(PAA); PAMAM were grafted to the surface of the modified UCNPs by the reaction between amino groups and carboxyl groups; finally, O-nitrobenzaldehyde was grafted to the surface by Schiff base reaction.The synthesized upconversion materials were coated with PAA and PAMAM, then loaded with O-nitrobenzaldehyde to form spherical nanoparticles. The particle size of prepared nanoparticles is 75 ∼ 80 nm. The dendrimer complex can emit ultraviolet light to regulate the pH gradient of aqueous solution under the excitation of near-infrared light (980 nm), and can be used to kill cancer cells by changing the acidity of tissue cells; secondly, the cavity between dendrimers and dendrimers on the surface of the complex can be used in many fields such as drug delivery and gene transfection; the nanoparticles provide a new method for cancer treatment.

Transparent AlON ceramics were bonded with Lu-Al-Si-O-N oxynitride glass interlayer at 1450 °C in nitrogen atmosphere in this investigation. The Lu-Al-Si-O-N oxynitride glass showed good wettability on the AlON substrate and had strong interface adhesion with each other. The joining process had no detrimental effect on the in-line transmittance of transparent AlON ceramics but caused slight decrease of flexural strength due to the partial decomposition. The bonding strength of AlON/AlON joint was 142.7 ± 6.3 MPa at room temperature and 110.1 ± 9.6 MPa at 1200 °C in situ, which were comparable with those of the parent AlON ceramics. Some Lu 2 Si 2 O 7 grains crystallized out from the glass interlayer after joining.

The increased quantities of fat in plants could allow the cells to inhibit the growth of ice and thus prevent the damages of their tissue structure in winter. In view of the structural buildup of freezing tolerance mechanism, here we presented a facile way of employing O/W Pickering emulsion as a template to produce the freestanding organo-hydrogels with increased mechanical stability and energy storage capacity. The oil droplets stabilized by cellulose nanofibrils were dispersed in the alginate polymer network that cross-linked with Ca2+, which resulted in homogeneous and closely packed microstructures. The prepared organo-hydrogels could maintain original gel structure under frozen conditions and had extraordinary mechanical performance. It could endure compressive stress up to 35 KPa (at 50% strain) and the elastic modulus was around 72 KPa, while the solid content of polysaccharides was only about 0.75%. By using our comprehensive strategy, organo-hydrogels with higher volumes of oil phase exhibited an enhanced cold storage capacity. For alginate hydrogel, it took 8 min when the temperature rose from 0 to 5 °C, while for the organo-hydrogel with oil volume of 30%, it took about 24 min. After 34 min, the inner temperature of alginate hydrogel was close to 25 °C, and about 70 min were needed for the temperature of organo-hydrogel to reach 25 °C. This kind of gel materials with complementary heteronetworks not only will have potential applications in cold chain logistics, but also can be applied in other fields with unusual functions.

Based on a condensation reaction, a chitosan-derivative-bearing amino pyridine group was prepared and subsequently followed by coordination with cupric ions, zinc ions and nickel ions to synthesize chitosan metal complexes. The calculations using the density functional theory (DFT) show that the copper ions and nickel ions underwent dsp 2 hybridization, the zinc ions underwent sp 3 hybridization, and they all formed a coordination bond with the carbon atom in the p-π conjugate group. The antifungal properties of O-CSPX-M against Phytophthora capsici (P. capsici) , Verticillium alboatrum (V. alboatrum) , Botrytis cinerea (B. cinerea) and Rhizoctonia solani (R. solani) were also assayed. Apparently, chitosan metal complexes showed enhanced antifungal activity against four fungi at the tested concentrations compared to that of chitosan. It was shown that Cu complexes can inhibit the growth of P. capsici 100%, and Ni complexes can inhibit the growth of B. cinerea 77.1% at a concentration of 0.4 mg/mL and 0.2 mg/mL, respectively. The pot experiment also verified the result. In addition, the phytotoxicity experiment showed that O-CSPX-M had no obvious toxicity on wheat leaves. This kind of complexes may represent as an attractive direction for chemical modifications of metal fungicides.

The synthesis between palmitic acid and methanol was carried out in a w/o reverse microemulsion prepared from the mixture of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DBSA)/isooctane/water. Box-Behnken design was adopted to evaluate the effect of significant factors on the methyl palmitate yield and response surface methodology (RSM), which was employed to optimize the process parameters in the esterification. The conditions that showed optimal results for methyl palmitate preparation were: 3.33 w0 ([H2O]/[surfactant]), 4.2 h reaction time, 5:1 methanol/acid molar ratio, and 130 mg g-1 lipase ([lipase]/[acid]) concentration. The following verification experiment obtained a result of 97% in almost total agreement with the expected value (98%). The kinetic constants of the model were determined by experiments at 40 °C with initial concentrations of 0.025-0.25 mol L-1 palmitic acid and 0.025-0.3 mol L-1 methanol in the microemulsion system. The kinetic studies showed that the reaction obeyed the Ping-Pong bi-bi mechanism with inhibition by methanol.

en This link goes to a English section pt This link goes to a English section Polydatin is the main bioactive ingredient in many medicinal plants, such as Hu-zhang ( Polygonum cuspidatum ), with many bioactivities. However, its poor aqueous solubility restricts its application in functional food. In this work, 6-O-α-Maltosyl-β-cyclodextrin (Malt-β-CD), a new kind of β-CD derivative was used to enhance the aqueous solubility and stability of polydatin by forming the inclusion complex. The phase solubility study showed that polydatin and Malt-β-CD could form the complex with the stoichiometric ratio of 1:1. The supermolecular structure of the polydatin/Malt-β-CD complex was characterized by ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), thermogravimetric/differential scanning calorimetry (TG/DSC), and proton nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H-NMR) spectroscopy. The changes of the characteristic spectral and thermal properties of polydatin suggested that polydatin could entrap inside the cavity of Malt-β-CD. Furthermore, to reasonably understand the complexation mode, the supermolecular structure of polydatin/Malt-β-CD inclusion complex was postulated by a molecular docking method based on Autodock 4.2.3. It was clearly observed that the ring B of polydatin oriented toward the narrow rim of Malt-β-CD with ring A and glucosyl group practically exposed to the wide rim by hydrogen bonding, which was in a good agreement with the spectral data. Practical Application en This link goes to a English section pt This link goes to a English section Polydatin was a nutraceutical with potential prospect in functional food. In this study, 6-O-α-Maltosyl-β-cyclodextrin, a new kind of β-CD derivative was used to improve its poor aqueous solubility by forming the inclusion complex, which can be used to develop new functional food. The introduced spectral technologies and molecular docking method could be used to characterize other complexes of bioactive compounds with CDs.

VO 2 /Al-O core-shell structure (V/AO) was synthesized by a facile method and its application for thermochromic film on smart window was investigated. Comparisons of thermochromic properties and stabilities in different environments between VO 2 and annealed V/AO nanoparticles were made. As a result, VO 2 nanoparticle was easily oxidized and lost thermochromic property. In contrast, with the protection provided by Al-O-based shell, the VO 2 core remained stable at a high temperature (350 °C in air) and in H 2 O 2 solution. Especially, thermochromic films made by annealed V/AO nanoparticles almost kept thermochromic performance in damp heating environment (T=60 °C, RH=90%) for 20 days while VO 2 films lost their thermochromic properties after 3 days. Besides, the degradation progress of VO 2 and V/AO nanoparticles in damp heating environment was also explored. Results indicate that Al-O-based shell provides a good protection for the VO 2 core originated from the compact structure of shell, which effectively prevents oxygen and water from eroding VO 2 . In summary, the VO 2 nanoparticles coated with Al-O-based shell exhibit a great potential in the application of smart window.

Graphical Breaking up : Tungsten carbide shows remarkable activity in selective C−O bond cleavage of typical β-O-4 model compounds and deconstruction of lignin feedstocks. High yields of C−O cleavage products from model compounds (up to 96.8 %) and from lignin feedstock (up to 70.7 %) are obtained without destroying the aromatic rings. A remarkably effective method for the chemoselective cleavage of the C−O bonds of typical β-O-4 model compounds and the deconstruction of lignin feedstock was developed by using tungsten carbide as the catalyst. High yields of C−O cleavage products (up to 96.8 %) from model compounds and liquid oils (up to 70.7 %) from lignin feedstock were obtained under low hydrogen pressure (0.69 MPa) in methanol. The conversion efficiency was determined to a large extent by solvent effects and was also affected by both the electronic and steric effects of the lignin model compounds. In situ W 2 C/activated carbon (AC)-catalyzed hydrogen transfer from methanol to the substrate was proposed to be responsible for the high performance in methanol solvent. The conversion of 2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-1-phenylethanol showed that the catalyst could be reused five times without a significant loss in activity for C−O bond cleavage, whereas the selectivity to value-added styrene increased markedly owing to partial oxidation of the W 2 C phase according to X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy characterization. 2 D-HSQC-NMR spectroscopy analysis showed that W 2 C/AC exhibited high activity not only for β-O-4 cleavage but also for the deconstruction of more resistant α-O-4 and β-β linkages, so that a high yield of liquid oil was obtained from lignin. Corn stalk lignin was more liable to be depolymerized than birch lignin owing to its loosened structure (scanning electron microscopy results), larger surface area (BET results), and lower molecular weight (gel-permeation chromatography results), whereas its liquid oil composition was more complicated than that of birch wood lignin in that the former lignin contained more p -hydroxyphenyl units and the former contained noncanonical units.

Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G) is classified as an anthocyanin (ACN) and is recognized for its remarkable antioxidant properties. Yet, the inadequate physicochemical stability of C3G restricts its potential for various biological applications. Thus, in this study, carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC)-coated nanonutriosomes (NS) were synthesized as a novel carrier for encapsulating C3G (CMC-C3G-NS) to improve C3G stability. CMC-C3G-NS exhibited a diameter of less than 200 nm along with an encouraging encapsulation efficiency exceeding 90%. Notably, the formulated CMC-C3G-NS possessed better stability under various pH, ionic, and oxygen conditions, improved controlled release properties, and higher hepatocellular uptake than uncoated particles (C3G-NS), indicating a longer retention time of C3G in a physiological environment. Of utmost significance, CMC-C3G-NS demonstrated superior alleviating effects against palmitic acid (PA)-induced oxidative hepatic damage compared to C3G-NS. Our study provided promising nanocarriers with the potential to deliver hydrophilic ACNs and controlled release properties for PA-induced hepatotoxicity alleviation.
