Mixed Pickering emulsions were prepared by blending anionic nanocellulose-stabilized lipid droplets with cationic nanochitin-stabilized droplets. Changes in the surface potential, particle size, shear viscosity, and morphology of mixed characterized when droplet mixing ratio was varied. Emulsion properties could be tailored altering pH ratio. Surface potential measurements suggested that nanochitin-coated adsorbed to surfaces nanocellulose-coated droplets, thereby dominating overall...
Consumption of sufficiently high quantities dietary fibers has been linked to a range health benefits.
The impact of oil droplet concentration on lipid digestion and vitamin bioaccessibility was measured using the INFOGEST method.
This study investigated the possibility of using a phase separation, mixing, and enzymatic gelation approach to construct seafood analogs from plant protein-polysaccharide mixtures with properties mimicking real seafood. Heat-denatured pea protein (10%,
The bioaccessibility of hydrophobic bioactives may be greatly reduced in the presence calcium.
This study was designed to investigate the effects of basal diets supplemented with a clay product consisting zeolite and attapulgite (ZA) at 1:1 ratio on growth performance, digestibility feed nutrients, activities digestive enzymes in small intestine intestinal health broiler chickens. In experiment 1, 112 one-day-old male chickens were randomly divided into 2 groups 8 replicates 7 each. 2, 84 allocated 6 The experimental both consisted maize-soybean control diet 0% or 2% ZA. fed from 1 42...
Fine titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles have been used as additives (E171) to modify the optical properties of foods and beverages for many years. Commercial TiO2 additives, however, often contain a significant fraction nanoparticles (diameter <100 nm), which has led some concern about their potentially adverse health effects. At present, relatively little is known how characteristics are altered they travel through human gastrointestinal tract. Alterations in electrical characteristics,...
