... These methods are not suitable for rapid screening and on-site detection of trace heavy metal ions in foods. To solve these problems, many new analytical methods have been reported, such as electrochemical methods (Pan et al., 2024), colorimetric methods (Sharifi et al., 2022), and fluorescence methods (Chen et al., 2022). Compared with traditional analytical methods, these methods have the advantages of simple operation, high sensitivity, and high accuracy . ...

... Covalent grafting of epigallocatechin (EGCG) with low methoxy pectin (LMP) coatings on grapes reduced weight loss and improved adhesion. The pyrogallol structure of EGCG contributed to the enhancement of the adhesion and wetting properties of the pectin to the fruit surface via strong bond formation and crosslinking [131]. ...

... In particular, niosome formation depends on the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) that is a dimensionless parameter and indicates the lipid or water solubility of the surfactant through the balance between its hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tail; HLB can range from 0 to 20, but only values between 4-8 are suitable for forming niosomes [10]. Niosomes are widely used to encapsulate different kinds of molecules and active compounds, such as proteins and peptides [11], vaccines [12][13][14], antibiotics [15], and anticancer drugs [16]. Furthermore, niosomes can be used through different routes of administration, such as intravenous, intramuscular [17], and topical (dermal, ocular, oral, etc.) [18], modifying their properties during the production process and/or adding functional compounds to their structure. ...

... K. Koch), native to the lower Mississippi River in North America and the Gulf of Mexico, belongs to the Juglandaceae family, which also includes other tree nuts such as walnuts and hickory nuts. [1][2][3] As a long-standing tree nut, it possesses substantial ecological and economic importance. Pecan nuts, renowned for their unique texture and flavor characteristics, are incorporated into a broad spectrum of food products, including bakery and confectionery items, and are also frequently utilized in salads, main courses, as dessert toppings, and as a snack (raw, roasted, or salted). ...

... 1 Previous study revealed that the inhibitory actions on ⊍-glucosidase, dipeptidyl peptidase IV and ⊍-amylase were more pronounced in Alcalase and papain hydrolysates than in whey protein from goat milk. 5 However, excessive enzymatic hydrolysis can sometimes compromise certain functional characteristics of a protein or even introduce undesirable flavors in the corresponding hydrolysates. 6 Therefore, it is crucial to control the degree of hydrolysis (DH) when using enzymatic hydrolysis to modify the functional properties of proteins. ...

... In a study conducted by Fan et al. [108], the impact of various extraction methods on the antibacterial and antioxidant properties of phenolic compounds found in AN was assessed. The results indicated that the MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) values for Streptococcus mutans, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were 2.50, 5.00, 15.00, and 25.00 mg/mL, respectively. ...

... This method was very effective for the loading of Cur into the sodium caseinate owing to the self-assembly properties of casein including its dissociation at pH = 12 and re-association after neutralization enabling the Cur encapsulation (Pan, et al., 2014). The pH-shifting was also employed to prepare goat milk casein (GMC)-Cur complexes (Du et al., 2022). At first, the GMC nanoparticles were fabricated by the pH-shifting method and then were loaded with different concentrations of Cur (0.2-1.0 mg/mL). ...

... The prevalent use of vinyl ester as an acyl donor in enzymatic esterification can be attributed to the facile conversion of vinyl alcohol, generated during the reaction, to acetaldehyde. This allows for the easy elimination of acetaldehyde from the reaction system, thereby shifting the equilibrium toward product formation [40,43]. Additionally, the carbon chain length of the acyl donor significantly influences the synthesis of EGCG esterification products. ...
