Investigation on the influence of AC electric filed and KCl on the structure and gel properties of Konjac glucomannan

Fabrication and Characterization of Konjac Glucomannan/Oat β-Glucan Composite Hydrogel: Microstructure, Physicochemical Properties and Gelation Mechanism Studies

“…All samples offered the same weight loss in the first step from 30 °C to 200 °C. In addition, the weight loss of the first step was ascribed to the vaporization of bound water and solvent [ 27 ]. The second step of weight loss was related to the thermal degradation of the gel network between 200 °C and 400 °C.…”

Optimized Alternating Current Electric Field and Light Irradiance for Caulerpa lentillifera Biomass Sustainability—An Innovative Approach for Potential Postharvest Applications

“…In this case, the seagrape tissue may still endure and reach its peak to interfere with its physicochemical properties from 30 to 60 min of treatment, but it becomes not effective anymore after reaching 90 min of treatment. Wang et al [9] also explained that the molecular weight of the sample is affected by the EF treatment time, which starts with an increment and is then followed by a decrement at a point due to water electrolysis. Sánchez-Vega et al [39] also mentioned that the treatment time is related to the samples' steady-state, and the type of electric wave configuration has a significant impact in confronting the enzyme activity of the sample.…”

“…Zhao et al [7] mentioned that ROS accumulation that caused vital degradations in PQ of food products, such as membrane damage and the loss of chlorophyll, color, and phenols, could be suppressed by exposure to the alternating electric field (ACEF) treatment. ACEF treatment has been reported to elevate the shelf-life and quality of different food products during their postharvest handling stage [8,9]. Sulaimana et al [1] showed that ACEF treatment could inhibit the deterioration of seagrape PQ, including water loss, malondialdehyde (MDA) production, total phenolic content (TPC) reduction, and chlorophyll degradation during postharvest storage.…”

“…To summarize the above phenoms, the ACEF pretreatment and SLI treatment are vital for seagrape PQ and shelf-life preservation. Nevertheless, different treatments of ACEF intensity, ACEF treatment time, and SLI levels have shown different impacts related to their effectiveness during application [6,8,9]. An effective experimental design is required to establish the best conditions to preserve the seagrape during the postharvest storage handling stage.…”
