Highly efficient antimicrobial agents with low toxicity and resistance have been enthusiastically pursued to address public concerns on microbial contamination in food. Silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) are known for their ultrasmall sizes unique optical chemical properties. Despite extensive studies of AgNCs biomedical applications, previous research application as antimicrobials food applications is very limited. Here, the first time, by incorporating (∼2 nm diameter) into zein films that widely...
Post-synthesis modification (PSM) is an efficient means to introduce functional chemical groups into metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) by modifying metal clusters or ligands after MOFs have been synthesized.
Abstract The peroxynitrite anion (ONOO − ) is the product of a specific reaction between nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide (O 2 •− ), showing great potential for treating multidrug‐resistant bacterial infections. However, antibacterial materials with highly efficient ONOO controlled release properties are lacking. In this study, hollow copper single atom nanozyme (Cu HSAz) oxidase (OXD)‐mimicking property rationally designed used first time as effective delivery carrier NO donor N, N...
Investigation on food safety and preservation is essential to provide high quality safe for human beings, including accurate determination efficient removal of inorganic heavy metal ions organic contaminants, as well regulation postharvest ripening intelligent sterilization.In the last two decades, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), functionalized porous materials, have aroused interests researchers because their advantages porosity, large specific surface area, flexible structure properties,...
The objectives of the present study were to improve capability microemulsions dissolve peppermint oil by blending sunflower lecithin with Tween 20 and possibility codelivering lipophilic bioactive compounds. loading in 20% (w/w) increased from 3% upon gradual supplementation 6% lecithin. All had particles <12 nm that did not change over 70 d storage at 21 °C. They relatively low Newtonian viscosities physically chemically stable after 50-200-fold dilution water, resulting similar...
Concept of organic anion-γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD)-containing hybrid framework (CD-HF-1) was proposed for developing novel complex materials. Herein, we revealed the formation mechanisms a series anion-CD-HF-1 and found is promising delivery system. Employing pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) as representative anion, elaborated two stages PQQ-CD-HF-1 formation. Kinetic analysis that at stage I, PQQ anions encapsulate into CD-MOF-1 bind to K+ cations, partially retaining crystallinity exhibiting...
Thermal and acid stabilities of norbixin are challenges for its application as a food colorant. In this work, gum arabic Fe(2+) were studied the possibility to improve thermal norbixin. Norbixin was dissolved at 0.004% w/v in deionized water with without 0.2% and/or 0.15 mM ferrous chloride, adjusted pH 3.0-5.0, heated 90 or 126 °C 30 min. Before heating, precipitated 3.0-4.0, which prevented by arabic. The stability improved combination Fe(2+). Fluorescence analyses indicated complex...
