TL;DR: In this article, a model for transitional breakage probability of droplets in agitated lean fiquid-liquid dispersions is proposed based on the mechanism of breakage of droppers due to their oscillations resulting from relative velocity fluctuations.

TL;DR: The changes in the secondary conformation and surface hydrophobicity of β-lactoglobulin subjected to different thermal treatments were characterized at pH values of 7, 5.5 and 4 using circular dichroism (CD) and hydrophobic dye binding as discussed by the authors.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the Clausius-Clapeyron equation was employed to evaluate moisture binding energy as a function of moisture content and temperature by employing Clausius and Clausius equation and showed that the water binding ability was fairly insensitive to pore structure of food samples and was lower for extruded and pregelatinized samples as well as for samples of higher gluten content.

TL;DR: Several applications of nanomaterials in food packaging and food safety are reviewed, including polymer/clay nanocomposites as high barrier packaging materials, silver nanoparticles as potent antimicrobial agents, and nanosensors and nanomMaterial-based assays for the detection of food-relevant analytes.
Abstract: In this article, several applications of nanomaterials in food packaging and food safety are reviewed, including: polymer/clay nanocomposites as high barrier packaging materials, silver nanoparticles as potent antimicrobial agents, and nanosensors and nanomaterial-based assays for the detection of food-relevant analytes (gasses, small organic molecules and food-borne pathogens). In addition to covering the technical aspects of these topics, the current commercial status and understanding of health implications of these technologies are also discussed. These applications were chosen because they do not involve direct addition of nanoparticles to consumed foods, and thus are more likely to be marketed to the public in the short term.
