Effect of microwave pretreatment on the color degradation kinetics in mustard greens (Brassica juncea)

In the present work, the impact of microwave pretreatment on the thermal degradation of color (chlorophylls) in mustard greens was studied. The drying experiments were conducted in the range of temperatures from 50 to 80°C. The degradation in the levels of chlorophylls has been quantified using Hunter color values (L*, a*, and b*) and calculating total color difference (ΔE). From the color results, the changes in color values (L*, a*, and b*) were observed as inappreciable, and changes in ΔE were found to be increased during drying. Analysis of kinetic data displayed a first-order reaction kinetics for chlorophyll degradation. Arrhenius equation was used to calculate the activation energies for rate constants, and it has been varied from 13.3 to 27.4?kJ/mol. Thermodynamic parameters, enthalpy of activation (ΔH^#), and entropy activation (ΔS^#) were found to be in the range of 1.40–2.63?J/mol and ?293 to ?305?J/mol?·?K, respectively. The data from the present work revealed that the microwave pretreatment of mustard greens remarkably influenced the retention of chlorophylls in the final dehydrated powder.

Soaking Conditions Affect the Contents of Tocopherols,Tocotrienols, and γ-Oryzanol in Pigmented and Non-Pigmented Brown Rice

Tocopherols (Toc), tocotrienols (T3), and γ‐oryzanol (GO), important lipid antioxidants in rice, are known to possess various pharmacological properties. In this study, our aim was to examine the effects of soaking conditions on the extractable contents of Toc, T3, and GO in cooked pigmented (PBR) and non‐pigmented brown rice (non‐PBR). The results showed that Toc, T3, and GO concentrations in non‐PBR peaked after soaking at 25 °C for 120 min, whereas soaking conditions showed minimal effects on these compounds in PBR. In non‐PBR, high Toc, T3, and GO levels were also noted in the treatments at higher soaking temperatures (45 and 55 °C) with a shorter soaking time (less than 60 min). The GO level in both cultivars was at least ten times greater than the total vitamin E content. Vitamin E analogues having concentrations greater than 10 mg/kg in PBR and non‐PBR were γ‐Toc and γ‐T3, and α‐Toc and γ‐T3, respectively. This study concludes that presoaking and cooking processes can improve the extractable contents of Toc, T3, and GO in cooked PBR and non‐PBR, and the extraction yield of these bioactive compounds was significantly different between cultivars.     

The Mixture of Salvianolic Acids from Salvia miltiorrhiza and Total Flavonoids from Anemarrhena asphodeloides Attenuate Sulfur Mustard-Induced Injury

Sulfur mustard (SM) is a vesicating chemical warfare agent used in numerous military conflicts and remains a potential chemical threat to the present day. Exposure to SM causes the depletion of cellular antioxidant thiols, mainly glutathione (GSH), which may lead to a series of SM-associated toxic responses. MSTF is the mixture of salvianolic acids (SA) of Salvia miltiorrhiza and total flavonoids (TFA) of Anemarrhena asphodeloides. SA is the main water-soluble phenolic compound in Salvia miltiorrhiza. TFA mainly includes mangiferin, isomangiferin and neomangiferin. SA and TFA possess diverse activities, including antioxidant and anti-inflammation activities. In this study, we mainly investigated the therapeutic effects of MSTF on SM toxicity in Sprague Dawley rats. Treatment with MSTF 1 h after subcutaneous injection with 3.5 mg/kg (equivalent to 0.7 LD₅₀) SM significantly increased the survival levels of rats and attenuated the SM-induced morphological changes in the testis, small intestine and liver tissues. Treatment with MSTF at doses of 60 and 120 mg/kg caused a significant (p < 0.05) reversal in SM-induced GSH depletion. Gene expression profiles revealed that treatment with MSTF had a dramatic effect on gene expression changes caused by SM. Treatment with MSTF prevented SM-induced differential expression of 93.8% (973 genes) of 1037 genes. Pathway enrichment analysis indicated that these genes were mainly involved in a total of 36 pathways, such as the MAPK signaling pathway, pathways in cancer, antigen processing and presentation. These data suggest that MSTF attenuates SM-induced injury by increasing GSH and targeting multiple pathways, including the MAPK signaling pathway, as well as antigen processing and presentation. These results suggest that MSTF has the potential to be used as a potential therapeutic agent against SM injuries.

Study of fragmentation in cBN powders under ultra-high pressure

Studying the fragmentation law and refinement of cubic boron nitride powder under ultra-high pressure is crucial to producing a high-strength, high-density polycrystalline cubic boron nitride. In this paper, brown and black cBN crystalline powders with different micron sizes were selected as initial raw materials for an ultra-high-pressure simulation experiment. Single and mixed particles were extruded under 80MPa low pressure and 5.5GPa ultra-high pressure at ambient temperature for 1 min. The crushing behavior and particle size distribution of cBN powders with different particle sizes and ratios were investigated using a laser particle size analyzer and scanning electron microscopy. Results revealed no particle breakage or deformation at low pressure, and the compaction density was low. However, under ultra-high pressure, the cBN particles showed cracks, plastic deformation, and fragmentation, resulting in crushed fine particles filling in the voids of coarse particles, which led to a higher pressing density. Small-sized or mixed cBN particles with high density ratios were not easily crushed; the coarser the particle size, the more severe the ultra-high-pressure extrusion and crushing. The pressing density also declined, and brown cBN crystal particles with higher impact toughness demonstrated a lower particle breakage rate. The ultra-high-pressure crushing law should be considered and appropriate binders should be selected to improve the sintering performance of PcBN materials; ultra-high-pressure crushing of cBN powder contributes to cBN-cBN and cBN-M-cBN bonds under high temperatures and ultra-high pressure.     

Relative expression and regulation by short-term fasting of lysophosphatidic acid receptors and autotaxin in white and brown adipose tissue depots

Lysophosphatidic acid (lysoPtdOH) levels have previously been reported to decrease in rodents with short-term fasting. We investigated whether a 16 h fast would change expression of autotaxin, the predominant phospholipase D responsible for adipose-derived lysoPtdOH synthesis, or any of the lysophosphatidic acid receptors (1–6) in four white adipose tissue (WAT) depots and interscapular brown adipose tissue (BAT) in male C57Bl/6J mice fed ad libitum, or fasted for 16 h. Aside from small inductions of Lpar1 in epididymal WAT and Lpar2 in epididymal and inguinal WAT, no significant changes were observed in expression of the Lpar family members, or autotaxin in perirenal, retroperitoneal, epididymal, or inguinal WAT or BAT with fasting. Comparison of the relative expression of Lpar1-6 in various depots showed that Lpar6 was the predominant Lpar in both WAT and BAT, and suggests that further work on the adipose-specific role of Lpar6 is warranted.     

Volatilisation and catalytic effects of alkali and alkaline earth metallic species during the pyrolysis and gasification of Victorian brown coal. Part III. The importance of the interactions between volatiles and char at high temperature

A novel two-stage fluidised-bed/fixed-bed reactor was designed to investigate the effects of volatile-char interactions on the volatilisation of alkali and alkaline earth metallic (AAEM) species during the pyrolysis of Victorian brown coal at 900 °C. With the two-stage reactor configuration, the AAEM-free volatiles generated from the pyrolysis of the H-form coal in the fluidised bed came into direct contact with the char from NaCl-loaded or Na-form coals in the fixed bed. The results indicated that the interactions between the volatiles, especially free radicals in the volatiles, and the char particles enhanced the volatilisation of Na from the char drastically. However, such radical-char interactions resulted in little volatilisation of Mg and Ca, indicating the importance of valence of the AAEM species. The degree of the volatile-char interactions was also related to the ageing of the char and the chemical form of AAEM species in the coal substrate. The volatiles interacted more strongly with the nascent char than the aged char, indicating that the AAEM species existed in the aged char in more stable forms than in the nascent char.     

Roles of inherent metallic species in secondary reactions of tar and char during rapid pyrolysis of brown coals in a drop-tube reactor

Two pairs of raw and acid-washed coal samples were prepared from Yallourn and Loy Yang brown coals, and subjected to rapid pyrolysis in a drop-tube reactor at 1073-1173 K in a stream of N₂ or H₂O/N₂ mixture. Examinations were made on the roles of the inherent metallic species in the secondary reactions of nascent tar and char that were formed by the intraparticle primary reactions. The experimental results revealed that the inherent metallic species were essential for vary rapid steam reforming/gasification of the nascent tar/char and simultaneous suppression of soot formation. In the absence of the metallic species, the soot formation from the tar accounted as much as 15-19 and 6-13% of the carbon in coal in N₂ and H₂O/N₂, respectively. The metallic species reduced the yield of soot to 6-8% in N₂ by enhancing the reforming of tar by H₂O generated from the pyrolysis of coal. In the H₂O/N₂ stream, instead of soot formation, a net gasification conversion up to 17% within 4.3 s was observed in the presence of the metallic species as a result of catalytic gasification of the nascent char. Moreover, the metallic species catalyzed the steam reforming of the nascent tar, giving its conversion up to 99%. Over the range of the conditions employed, a one-to-one stoichiometry was established between the steam consumption and the yield of carbon oxides formed by the steam reforming/gasification and water-gas-shift reaction.
