Carotenoids, such as β-carotene, are widely used in foods and beverages as natural colorants and nutraceuticals. We investigated the influence of carrier oil composition (ratio of digestible to indigestible oil) on the physical stability, microstructure and bioaccessibility of β-carotene nanoemulsions

This study describes how the rheological properties of colloidal dispersions formed by heteroaggregation of oppositely charged protein-coated lipid droplets depend on total particle concentration. Mixed-particle emulsions were formed by mixing single-particle emulsions containing either β-lactoglobulin-coated lipid droplets (ζ≈-42 mV, d(43)≈
We previously demonstrated that lifelong feeding of diets enriched in n-3 fatty acids such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) significantly inhibits HER-2/neu-mediated mammary tumorigenesis in mice. Of interest is whether dietary n-3 fatty acids exert effects at
Maize kernel oil is a valuable source of nutrition. Here we extensively examine the genetic architecture of maize oil biosynthesis in a genome-wide association study using 1.03 million SNPs characterized in 368 maize inbred lines, including 'high-oil' lines. We identified
Hydrothermal liquefaction of cornstalk at 180-300 °C at ratios of water to cornstalk of 6-14 was conducted, and the reaction products were lumped into gas, water-soluble organics (ethanol-insoluble and ethanol-soluble organics), heavy oil, volatile organic compounds, and acid-soluble and acid-insoluble
