Effects of ultrasound-assisted enzyme hydrolysis on the microstructure and physicochemical properties of okara fibers

This work focuses on the effects of different ultrasound power densities on the microstructural changes and physicochemical properties of okara fibers, which are composed of carbohydrate-based polymers. Okara suspensions were treated with ultrasound at different power densities (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 W/mL) for 30 min, after which the ultrasound-treated okara were hydrolyzed by trypsin to obtain okara fibers. The ultrasound treatment of the okara fibers induced structural disorganization and changes, evidenced mainly in their morphological characteristics and their relative crystallinity degrees. Increasing the ultrasound power broke the okara fibers into flaky and stacked structures. When the ultrasound power density reached 4 W/mL, the parenchyma became compact and the hourglass structure fractured. The mean particle size of the okara fiber was reduced from 82.24 µm to 53.96 µm, and the homogeneity was enhanced significantly. The relative crystallinity of the okara fibers was reduced from 55.14% to 36.47%. The okara fiber surface charge decreased when the ultrasound power was increased. However, after ultrasound treatment at 4 W/mL (800 W), the okara fiber suspension exhibited the highest viscosity value and a higher swelling capacity, water-holding capacity, and oil-holding capacity. Therefore, the results indicated that the selection of processing conditions for okara fibers is critical and that okara fiber modification using a high ultrasound treatment might improve their use in potential applications.

黑米花色苷酰化修饰红外光谱分析

黑米花色苷易受外部环境影响发生降解致使局部分子结构破坏而使营养价值和保健功能有所下降。利用有机酸提供酰基对黑米花色苷进行修饰来提高花色苷结构的稳定性。利用红外光谱分析经咖啡酸酰化修饰黑米花色苷的结构变化。结果表明：黑米花色苷酰化修饰前后于官能团区3 650~3 200和1 680~1 620 cm-1处均有吸收峰，且其于指纹区1 282.68和1 277.51 cm-1处出现酚羟基吸收峰，于1 056.07和1 054.03 cm-1处出现醇羟基吸收峰，719.90和719.71 cm-1处出现苯环上C-H面外弯曲振动吸收峰。由此可见，黑米花色苷酰化修饰后主要结构框架仍为花色苷的芳环结构。此外，黑米花色苷酰化修饰前后于1 900~1 650 cm-1间1 714.28和1 728.13 cm-1处均出现共轭羰基的特征吸收峰，对应于可直接连接在苯环上的α-羰基结构，由此说明黑米花色苷结构中存在着酰基基团。黑米花色苷经酰化修饰后红外图谱于1 517.20 cm-1处出现新吸收峰，其正好处于1 800~900 cm-1双键(不含氢)伸缩振动区，指纹区876.65 cm-1处亦出现了苯环上的C-H面外弯曲振动吸收峰。与之相呼应在经二阶导数处理后红外光谱图中在2 500～2 000 cm-1间出现了新的波动，此波段为累积双键伸缩振动区，而官能团区3 650~3 200 cm-1间3 370.20 cm-1处的吸收峰正好处于多分子缔合区。由此可见，在咖啡酸作为酰基供体，酰化修饰黑米花色苷时由于分子间的重新缔合于结构中引入了新的酰基基团而呈现出一种双酰化的空间结构。黑米花色苷酰化结构中有机酸与糖链相连，将有机酸置于2-苯基苯并吡喃骨架的表面，这种堆积作用模式可以较好地抵抗水的亲核攻击和其他降解反应进而提高黑米花色苷结构的稳定性。     

Learning extended tree augmented naive structures

This work proposes an extended version of the well-known tree-augmented naive Bayes (TAN) classifier where the structure learning step is performed without requiring features to be connected to the class. Based on a modification of Edmonds' algorithm, our structure learning procedure explores a superset of the structures that are considered by TAN, yet achieves global optimality of the learning score function in a very efficient way (quadratic in the number of features, the same complexity as learning TANs). We enhance our procedure with a new score function that only takes into account arcs that are relevant to predict the class, as well as an optimization over the equivalent sample size during learning. These ideas may be useful for structure learning of Bayesian networks in general. A range of experiments shows that we obtain models with better prediction accuracy than naive Bayes and TAN, and comparable to the accuracy of the state-of-the-art classifier averaged one-dependence estimator (AODE). We release our implementation of ETAN so that it can be easily installed and run within Weka.     

Single crystal synthesis and magnetism of the BaLn2O4 family (Ln = lanthanide)

The series of compounds in the BaLn₂O₄ family (Ln = La–Lu, Y) has been synthesized for the first time in single crystalline form, using a molten metal flux. The series crystallizes in the CaV₂O₄ structure type with primitive orthorhombic symmetry (space group Pnma, #62), and a complete structural study of atomic positions, bonds, angles, and distortions across the lanthanide series is presented. With the exception of the Y, La, Eu, and Lu members, magnetic susceptibility measurements were performed between 2 K and 300 K. BaCe₂O₄ and BaYb₂O₄ display large crystal fields effects and suppression of magnetic ordering. All compounds show signs of magnetic frustration due to the trigonal arrangements of the trivalent lanthanide cations in the structure.

Effect of scale and surface chemistry on the mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes‐based composites

In this article, Multi‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs) of varying diameters, both untreated and polycarboxylated, were dispersed at constant weight percentage in an epoxy matrix, and resulting fracture toughnesses (K_Ic) were measured in each case. We show that changing the MWCNT diameter has two effects on the composite fracture toughness: (i) a small MWCNT diameter enables larger interfacial surface for adhesion maximization, which increases toughness; (ii) at the same time, it limits the available pull‐out energy and reduces the MWCNT ability to homogeneously disperse in the matrix due to this same large active surface: this decreases toughness. Most commercially available MWCNTs have a length range of several μm, thus an optimal diameter exists which depends on MWCNT wall thickness and surface treatment. Such optimal diameter maximizes pull‐out energy and thus composite fracture toughness. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys, 2012     

Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Properties of Novel Composite Complex: [La(Nmp)4(H2o)4][HsiMo12O40]·2nmp·H2o

A new composite complex of [La(NMP)₄(H₂O)₄][HSiMo₁₂O₄₀]·2NMP·H₂O (NMP = N-methyl-2- pyrrolidone) was synthesized and characterized by IR, UV, ESR, TG-DTA and single crystal structural analysis. The water and organic ligands (NMP) coordinate directly with La(III) to form a dodecahedral complex and the SiMo₁₂O^4? ₄₀ anion is the counter ion. IR and X-ray analysis show that there is strong interaction between the polyoxometalate and organic donors. The complex is strongly photosensitive under irradiation with sunlight, resulting in a charge-transfer complex by oxidation of the N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and reduction of the polyoxometalate. Low temperature ESR spectra indicate thermal electron delocalization among the Mo atoms in the title compound.     

Molecular Chains in the Crystals of a Calcium(II) Complex with Pyridine-3,5-Dicarboxylate (Dinicotinate) and Water Ligands

The crystal of pentaqua (catena-pyridine-3,5-dicarboxylato-O,O) calcium(II) contain zigzag molecular chains composed of Ca ions linked by two bridging oxygen atoms, each donated by one carboxylate group [Ca-O1 2.353(2) Å, Ca-O3^III 2.334(1) Å]. The Ca ions, the ligand molecules and one water oxygen atom coordinated by each metal ion [Ca-O5 2.410(2) Å] are coplanar. The coordination of the Ca ion is completed by four other water oxygen atoms situated above and below the plane of the chain [Ca-O6 2.475(1) Å, Ca-O7 2.371(2) Å]. The coordination number of the calcium(II) ion is seven. The water molecules act as donors in a system of hydrogen bonds.
