The structure and morphology of the samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD), transmittance electron microscopy(TEM), high resolution TEM(HRTEM) and selected area electron diffraction(SAED). The photoluminescence properties and energy transfer process from Tb^(3+) to Eu^(3+) of CaF_2:Tb^(3+),Eu^(3+) phosphors were also investigated through excitation spectra and decay curves. In addition, the emission spectra of the glass ceramics in a wide temperature range from 21 to 320 K were recorded under the excitation of 485 nm. It was found that the fluorescence intensity ratios of Tb^(3+) at 545 nm(~5D_4→~7F_5) to Eu^(3+) at 615 nm(~5D_0→~7F_2) was highly temperature-dependent with an approximate linear relationship, and the temperature sensitivity was about 0.4%/K. It is expected that the investigated Tb^(3+)/Eu^(3+) co-doped CaF_2 glass ceramics may have prospective application in optical thermometry.展开更多

文摘Three novel acidic polysaccharide fractions(OFPP-1,OFPP-2,OFPP-3)with different m olecular weights(803.7,555.1 and 414.5 k Da)were isolated from the peeled Opuntia dillenii Haw.fruits by alkali-extraction,graded alcohol precipitation and column chromatography.Structural analysis indicated that OFPPs were pectic polysaccharides consisting of rhamnose,arabinose and galactose residues.The backbone of OFPP-1 consisted of a repeating unit→6-α-D-Galp A-(1→2)-α-L-Rhap-(1→with T-α-D-Galp A-(1→6)-α-D-Galp A-(1→4)-α-D-Glcp-(1→,T-β-D-Xylp-(1→6)-α-D-Galp A-(1→4)-α-D-Glcp-(1→or T-α-D-Galp A-(1→3)-α-L-Araf-(1→as the side chains.The backbone of OFPP-2 consisted of a disaccharide repeating unit→2)-α-L-Rhap-(1→4)-β-D-Galp A-(1→with T-β-L-Araf-(1→as the branches substituted at the O-4 position of→2,4)-α-LRhap-(1→.Whereas the backbone of OFPP-3 was→2,4)-α-L-Rhap-(1→2)-α-L-Rhap-(1→3)-β-L-Araf-(1→or→2,4)-α-L-Rhap-(1→2)-α-L-Rhap-(1→4)-β-D-Galp A-(1→,which was branched at the O-4 position of→2,4)-α-L-Rhap-(1→.Moreover,these three polysaccharide fractions could protect Huh-7 cells against H2O2-induced oxidative stress to different extents by decreasing the MDA content and increasing the SOD,CAT,GSH-Px activities and the GSH level in the Huh-7 cells.These results suggest that OFPPs have the potential to be used as natural antioxidants.

文摘Food allergens are mainly naturally-occurring proteins with immunoglobulin E(IgE)-binding epitopes.Understanding the structural and immunogenic characteristics of allergenic proteins is essential in assessing whether and how food processing techniques reduce allergenicity.We here discuss the impacts of food processing technologies on the modification of physicochemical,structural,and immunogenic properties of allergenic proteins.Detection techniques for characterizing changes in these properties of food allergens are summarized.Food processing helps to reduce allergenicity by aggregating or denaturing proteins,which masks,modifies,or destroys antigenic epitopes,whereas,it cannot eliminate allergenicity completely,and sometimes even improves allergenicity by exposing new epitopes.Moreover,most food processing techniques have been tested on purified food allergens rather than food products due to potential interference of other food components.We provide guidance for further development of processing operations that can decrease the allergenicity of allergenic food proteins without negatively impacting the nutritional profile.

文摘Tb^(3+)/Eu^(3+) co-doped transparent glass ceramics containing CaF_2 nanocrystals were successfully synthesized by high temperature melt-quenching method and subsequent heating. The structure and morphology of the samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD), transmittance electron microscopy(TEM), high resolution TEM(HRTEM) and selected area electron diffraction(SAED). The photoluminescence properties and energy transfer process from Tb^(3+) to Eu^(3+) of CaF_2:Tb^(3+),Eu^(3+) phosphors were also investigated through excitation spectra and decay curves. In addition, the emission spectra of the glass ceramics in a wide temperature range from 21 to 320 K were recorded under the excitation of 485 nm. It was found that the fluorescence intensity ratios of Tb^(3+) at 545 nm(~5D_4→~7F_5) to Eu^(3+) at 615 nm(~5D_0→~7F_2) was highly temperature-dependent with an approximate linear relationship, and the temperature sensitivity was about 0.4%/K. It is expected that the investigated Tb^(3+)/Eu^(3+) co-doped CaF_2 glass ceramics may have prospective application in optical thermometry.

文摘Biosurfactants are structurally diverse classes of amphiphilic molecules derived from microorganisms.They have various properties such as surface,emulsification,antibacterial,anti-adhesive,anti-biofilm,antioxidant activity that can be used in many industrial fields.The interest in these molecules compared to their synthetic counterparts is due to their biodegradability,low toxicity,structural diversity,and stability over a wide range of pH,temperature,and salinity.Among biosurfactants,those derived from lactic acid bacteria(LAB)attracted attention nowadays due to the GRAS(Generally recognized as safe)status of these microorganisms.Biosurfactants production by LAB strains has been documented in several investigations,and they deal with the functionality and chemical nature of biosurfactants.LAB biosurfactants were mainly a complex mixture of proteinaceous compounds,glycolipids,glycoproteins,or glycolipopeptides.There are only a few studies reporting on the elucidation of the structure of LAB biosurfactants.Generally,biosurfactants’production process includes several unit operations starting from screening methods to the characterization of the biosurfactant compound.This review highlights the different techniques used in the screening of biosurfactants production by LAB,their extraction and purification processes,and their structural characterization and application in the food industry.

文摘In this study,a new type of water-soluble polysaccharide was extracted and purified from mussels,and its structure and cellular antioxidant levels were studied.Mussel polysaccharide(MP 4.25×10^(3) Da)is composed mainly of glucose,with a small amount of galactosamine hydrochloride,glucosamine hydrochloride,and galactose.MP shows characteristic polysaccharide bands in Fourier transform NMR and infrared spectroscopy.The main chain connection mode of MP is the glycosidic bond of→4)-α-D-Glcp-(1→,and the end groupα-D-Glcp-(1→andα-D-Glcp-(1→6)-α-D-Glcp-(1→pass→4,6)-α-D-Glcp-(1→.The O-6 bond is connected to the main chain.Moreover,MP could protect RAW264.7 cells against H_(2)O_(2)-induced oxidative stress by increasing catalase(CAT),glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px),and superoxide dismutase(SOD)activities and reducing the content of malondialdehyde(MDA).This is expected to make MP an important member of the antioxidant family.

文摘In this study,Tremella fuciformis residues as raw material,dietary fibers from tremella were prepared by multiple enzymes.The structure of dietary fibers from tremella was studied by Fourier transform infrared(FTIR),X-ray diffraction analysis(XRD)and scanning electron microscopy(SEM).We analyzed their lipidlowering properties in vitro(water holding,oil holding swelling cholesterol and sodium cholate binding capacitises)and the hypolipidemic effects in mice.The results showed that tremella dietary fibers presented the infrared absorption spectrum characteristics of polysaccharides and the characteristic diffraction peaks of cellulose type I.SEM results indicated that the surface of insoluble dietary fiber(IDF)was porous,while the soluble dietary fiber(SDF)was relatively compact and spongy.IDF exhibited significantly higher water holding,oil holding,and swelling binding capacities than the corresponding SDF.However,SDF exhibited significantly higher viscosity than IDF.The results showed tremella dietary fibers were significant in swelling,water holding and oil holding,cholesterol and bile acids.In vivo experiment results in mice indicated that SDF has the best effect on hyperlipidemia mice than IDF and total dietary fiber(TDF).SDF showed that the total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG)and low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)contents dropped by 28.33%,18.65%,and 48.97%,respectively,while high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)content increased by 43.80%.Compared with the high-fat control(HCM)group,the arteriosclerosis index(AI)and liver index(LI)of the SDF group mice showed significant differences,indicating that SDF has a good auxiliary effect of lowering blood lipids.The administration of tremella fibers improved the lipid metabolism disorderly situation of hyperlipidemia mice.These results provide a reference for further research and rational development of T.fuciformis.

文摘This study aimed to isolate and characterize the structures of glycoproteins from peas and determine their hypoglycemic activity.The crude pea glycoproteins(PGP)were extracted by hot water and purified by diethylaminoethyl(DEAE)-Sepharose chromatography and Sephadex G-100 size-exclusion chromatography in sequence.Then three main fractions were obtained,namely PGP1,PGP2 and PGP3,with molecular weights of 897615,846740 and 1194692 Da,respectively.The physical and chemical properties of the three fractions were evaluated and compared by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR),nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR),scanning electron microscope(SEM),high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC)and other analytical techniques.The fraction PGP2 with the highest hypoglycemic activity,was screened using the Caco-2 monolayer cell model.It can inhibit the uptake of glucose in the small intestine,as well as the activities of maltase and sucrase.After simulated gastrointestinal digestion,PGP2 signifi cantly enhanced the inhibitory effect of α-glucosidase,and slightly reduced the inhibitory ability ofα-amylase.In summary,PGP2 possessed strong hypoglycemic activity after digestion.These results indicated that PGP2 has the potential to be developed into a functional food or natural medicine for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

文摘The development of novel organic electrode materials is of great significance for improving the reversible capacity and cycle stability of rechargeable batteries.Before practical application,it is essential to characterize the electrode materials to study their structures,redox mechanisms and electrochemical performances.In this review,the common characterization methods that have been adopted so far are summarized from two aspects:experimental characterization and theoretical calculation.The experimental characterization is introduced in detail from structural characterization,electrochemical characterization and electrode reaction chara cterization.The experimental purposes and working principles of various experimental characterization methods are briefly illustrated.As the auxilia ry means,theoretical calculation provides the theoretical basis for characterizing the electrochemical reaction mechanism of organic electrode materials.Through these characterizations,we will have a deep understanding about the material structures,electrochemical redox mechanisms,electrochemical properties and the relationships of structure-property.It is hoped that this review would help researchers to select the suitable characterization methods to analyze the structures and performances of organic electrode materials quickly and effectively.
文摘The aromatic nature of lignin makes it a potential renewable source of chemicals and other valuable products.Isolation of lignin from lignocellulosic biomass using organic solvents enables the production of high-purity lignin.The use of formic acid in the organosolv pulping and fractionation process has been widely studied.Characterization of lignin is necessary to achieve valueadded applications of lignin.To simplify the isolation of formic acid-treated lignin,herein,milled wheat straw lignin(MWSL) was employed as an archetype for characterization of the structural changes of lignin during formic acid treatment.The results showed that the MWSL was GSH-type(comprising p-hydroxyphenyl(H),guaiacyl(G),and syringyl(S) monolignols) and underwent structural changes during formic acid treatment.Lignin was esterified during the formic acid treatment.The content of alkyl hydroxyl groups in lignin decreased upon formic acid treatment,corresponding to an increase of the number of double bond equivalents(DBE).Lignin units with active reaction sites were liable to slight condensation,which resulted in a moderate increase of the molecular weight.The molecular weight distribution of formic acid-treated MWSL(FMWSL) was wider than that of the MWSL,although the molecular weight of both species did not differ significantly.The β-O-4 linkage in lignin was partially cleaved during formic acid treatment,resulting in the production of new phenolic structures.This improved the solubility of lignin in the cooking liquor and its reactivity for downstream applications.

文摘Coal chemical wastewater(CCW)with the features of high toxicity and poor biodegradability is a big issue in environmental remediation,posing a great threat to aquatic ecosystems and to human beings.Such complex molecular mixtures are notoriously difficult to characterize without initial physical separation.Herein,we present the 3D diffusion ordered spectroscopy(DOSY)analysis for CCW using DOSY-COSY and DOSY-HSQC methods,the advantages of this strategy have been demonstrated in the analysis of mixtures of aliphatic oxygenates and aromatic compounds,before being implemented on a genuine CCW sample in this study.The results showed that 3D DOSY is a robust and reliable tool for providing superior resolution and virtual separation of complex pollutants,and can be used as a general approach for structural elucidation.

文摘The dietary fiber in oats is mainly concentrated in the bran;however,the oat bran is mostly used for livestock and poultry feed and thus has a low utilization rate and low added value.In this study,insoluble dietary fiber(IDF)was extracted by a combination ofα-amylase and neutral protease.The optimal extraction conditions of the IDF were obtained by response surface methodology.The material-to-water ratio was 1:12.1,the concentration ofα-amylase was 1.85%,and the hydrolysis time was 39.14 min.After purifying the crude fiber with 4%sodium oxide(Na OH),70°C hot water,and anhydrous ethanol,the purity of dietary fiber exceeded 95%.X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that the IDF was predominantly amorphous.Scanning electron microscopy showed that the IDF surface exhibited a loose porous network structure.Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy of the crude IDF showed characteristic absorption peaks at 3626,2929,1667,1538,1455,1242,and1048 cm^(-1),while the infrared spectrum of the purified IDF showed characteristic absorption peaks at 3401,2924,1744,1643,1418,and 1040 cm^(-1),which is consistent with the structure of cellulose polysaccharide.Differential scanning calorimetry analysis showed that there were three exothermic peaks at 270–310°C,320–350°C,and 440–460°C,which may represent the pyrolysis peaks of hemicellulose,cellulose,and lignin,respectively,indicating that the oat bran IDF had good thermal stability.The results indicate that the oat bran IDF can be used for the production of dietary fiber products and health-care products.

文摘Longan originates from southern China and has high nutritional and health value.Recent phytochemistry and pharmacology studies have shown that polysaccharides are a main bioactive component of longan.Longan polysaccharides possess antioxidant,anti-aging,anti-tumor,immunomodulatory,and other bioactivities.Hot-water extraction,ethanol precipitation,and ultrasonic extraction are generally used to extract water-soluble longan polysaccharides.However,the relationship between the structure and bioactivity of longan polysaccharides remains unclear,requiring further investigation.The aim of this review is to evaluate the current literature focusing on the extraction,purification,structural characterization,and biological activity of longan polysaccharides.We believe that this review would provide a useful bibliography for further innovation and a basis for using longan polysaccharides in functional food.
