Background Nanochitin is nanoscale chitin in the form of nanocrystals and nanofibers. Its
preparation and modification pose certain challenges. The eco-friendly and sustainable …

Food spoilage not only causes food waste, but also leads to serious foodborne illnesses. To
address these concerns, a novel colorimetric sensor array (CSA) fabricated from oxidized …

Recently, natural biopolymers have increasingly been utilized to stabilize Pickering
emulsions (PEs) for food applications. The research and development of marine …

The present work investigates the effects of nano-chitin with different charge, obtained by
acid hydrolysis and TEMPO oxidation, on the structure and properties of borax crosslinked …

Traditional pesticides often exhibit high non-target toxicity, poor stability, short persistence,
and susceptibility to wash-off by rain. Pesticide microencapsulation represents a significant …

As a lipophilic flavonol, quercetin has low bioavailability, which limits its application in foods.
This work aimed to prepare a hordein-based system to deliver quercetin. We constructed …

In contrast to their well-known physiological properties, phytochemicals, such as flavonoids,
have been less frequently examined for their physiochemical properties (eg, surface …

Drilling fluid additives that maintain wellbore stability have attracted considerable attention
because of the frequent occurrence of wellbore instability accidents during drilling …

Pickering emulsions (PEs) have wide applications in delivering nutraceuticals. However, the
impact of extracting nanocellulose from corn stover on stabilizing PEs and delivering …

Quercetin (Q) is a flavonoid used as an antioxidant in nutritional supplements and functional
foods. However, the hydrophobicity of quercetin limits bioaccessibility. Whey protein …
