Physical-Field Engineering of Food Hydrogels: Multiscale Assembly, Processing Windows, and Functional Translation

Food hydrogels are multiscale, water-rich networks whose functionality depends not only on composition but also on how processing energy is deposited and redistributed during network formation. Although acoustic, electric, magnetic, and pressure-based treatments have expanded the available strategies for hydrogel struc...

Hyperspectral Imaging-Based Rapid Assessment of Chinese Yam Quality for Dried Slice Processing

Chinese yam (Dioscorea spp.) is widely used as food and traditional medicine, but varietal differences may affect dried yam slice quality. This study compared ten Chinese yam varieties, examined relationships between raw-material quality indicators and dried yam slice quality, and evaluated hyperspectral imaging for ra...

Enzyme-responsive core-shell nanofibers based on zein/gelatin with controlled release of carvacrol for salmon preservation.

This study presents an enzyme-gated, core-shell fibrous packaging system engineered for intelligent, on-demand salmon preservation. Utilizing coaxial electrospinning, carvacrol (CAR) was encapsulated within a zein (ZN)/gelatin (GA) matrix with a 63.94% encapsulation efficiency, producing uniform, highly hydrophobic fil...
