Pérez-González J, Muñoz-Castro Y, Rodríguez-González F, Marín-Santibáñez BM, Medina-Bañuelos EF. Influence of Sonication on the Molecular Characteristics of Carbopol ® and Its Rheological Behavior in Microgels. Gels 2024; 10:420. [PMID: 39057445 PMCID: PMC11276194 DOI: 10.3390/gels10070420] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2024] [Revised: 06/21/2024] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
In this work, the effect of sonication on the molecular characteristics of polyacrylic acid (Carbopol® Ultrez 10), as well as on its rheological behavior in aqueous dispersions and microgels, was analyzed for the first time by rheometry, weight-average molecular weight (Mw) measurements via static light scattering (SLS), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and confocal microscopy. For this, the precursor dispersion and the microgels containing 0.25 wt.% of Ultrez 10 were sonicated in a commercial ultrasound bath at constant power and at different times. The main rheological properties of the microgel, namely, shear modulus, yield stress and viscosity, all decreased with increasing sonication time, while the microgel's Herschel-Bulkley (H-B) behavior, without thixotropy, was preserved. Also, Mw of Ultrez 10 decreased up to almost one-third (109,212 g/mol) of its original value (300,860 g/mol) after 180 min of sonication. These results evidence a softening of the gel microstructure, which results from the reduction in the Mw of polyacrylic acid with sonication time. Separately, FTIR measurements show that sonication produces scission in the C-C links of the Carbopol® backbone, which results in chains with the same chemistry but lower molecular weight. Finally, confocal microscopy observations revealed a diminution of the size of the microsponge domains and more free solvent with sonication time, which is reflected in a less compact and softer microstructure. The present results indicate that both the microstructure and the rheological behavior of Carbopol® microgels, in particular, and complex fluids, in general, may be manipulated or tailored by systematic high-power ultrasonication.

ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2024; 106:106883. [PMID: 38703594 PMCID: PMC11081804 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2024.106883] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2024] [Revised: 04/14/2024] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024]
Abstract
Ultrasound has been widely used in industry due to its high energy and efficiency. This study optimized the ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) process of frosted figs pectin (FFP) using response surface methodology (RSM), and further investigated the effect of ultrasonic power on the structural characteristics and antioxidant activities of FFPs. The UAE method of FFP through RSM was optimized, and the optimal extraction process conditions, particle size of 100 mesh, pH value of 1.95, liquid-solid ratio of 47:1 (mL/g), extraction temperature of 50 °C and extraction time of 65 min, were obtained. The extraction rate of FFP under this condition was 37.97 ± 2.56 %. Then, the four FFPs modified by ultrasound were obtained by changing the ultrasonic power. Research had found that ultrasonic power had little effect on the monosaccharide composition, Zeta potential, as well as the thermal stability and appearance structure of the four FFPs. However, ultrasonic power had a significant impact on other properties of FFP: as the ultrasonic power increased, the DM% and particle size decreased continuously, while the total carbohydrate content increased. Meanwhile, ultrasonic power also had a significant impact on antioxidant activities of FFPs. From the research results, it could be seen that different ultrasonic power had certain changes in its spatial structure and properties, and the structural changes also affected the biological activity of FFP. The study of the effects of ultrasonic power on the physicochemical properties and biological activity of FFP lays the foundation for the development and application of FFP in food additives and natural drug carriers.

Abstract
The effects of H2O2-assisted ultrasonic bath degradation technology on pectin were investigated. The degradation efficiency with different pectin concentrations, H2O2 concentrations, ultrasonic power, and ultrasonic time was analyzed. The results showed that pectin concentration was negatively correlated with the degradation efficiency of pectin, while, H2O2 concentration, ultrasonic power, and ultrasonic time were positive correlated with the degradation efficiency. Besides, the apparent viscosity and viscoelasticity of the degraded pectin decreased significantly. The antioxidant activity increased after the H2O2-assisted ultrasonic bath treatment. The results of FTIR, NMR, laser particle size, SEM, XRD, and AFM analysis indicated that the degradation treatment did not destroy the main structure of pectin. The average particle size and crystallinity of pectin decreased. The degree of aggregation and the height of the molecular chain decreased significantly. In conclusion, the H2O2-assisted ultrasonic bath degradation technique could effectively degrade pectin. This study provided a comprehensive analysis of the degradation of pectin under H2O2-assisted ultrasonic bath, which will be beneficial to further develop H2O2-assisted ultrasonic bath techniques for pectin degradation.

Abstract
Structural features affect the bioactivity, physical property, and application of plant and microbial polysaccharides. However, an indistinct structure-function relationship limits the production, preparation, and utilization of plant and microbial polysaccharides. Molecular weight is an easily regulated structural feature that affects the bioactivity and physical property of plant and microbial polysaccharides, and plant and microbial polysaccharides with a specific molecular weight are important for exerting their bioactivity and physical property. Therefore, this review summarized the regulation strategies of molecular weight via metabolic regulation; physical, chemical, and enzymic degradations; and the influence of molecular weight on the bioactivity and physical property of plant and microbial polysaccharides. Moreover, further problems and suggestions must be paid attention to during regulation, and the molecular weight of plant and microbial polysaccharides must be analyzed. The present work will promote the production, preparation, utilization, and investigation of the structure-function relationship of plant and microbial polysaccharides based on their molecular weight.

Abstract
Perishable foods like fruits and vegetables, meat, fish, and dairy products have short shelf-life that causes significant postharvest losses, which poses a major challenge for food supply chains. Biopolymers have been extensively studied as sustainable alternatives to synthetic plastics, and pectin is one such biopolymer that has been used for packaging and preservation of foods. Pectin is obtained from abundantly available low-cost sources such as agricultural or food processing wastes and by products. This review is a complete account of pectin extraction from agro-wastes, development of pectin-based composite films and coatings, their characterizations, and their applications in food packaging and preservation. Compared to conventional chemical extraction, supercritical water, ultrasound, and microwave assisted extractions are a few examples of modern and more efficient pectin extraction processes that generate almost no hazardous effluents, and thus, such extraction techniques are more environment friendly. Pectin-based films and coatings can be functionalized with natural active agents such as essential oils and other phytochemicals to improve their moisture barrier, antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. Application of pectin-based active films and coatings effectively improved shelf-life of fresh cut-fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, poultry, milk, and other food perishable products.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to explore the structural changes and oxidation resistance of ultrasonic degradation products of sugar beet pectin (SBP). The changes in the structures and antioxidant activity between SBP and its degradation products were compared. As the ultrasonic treatment time increased, the content of α-D-1,4-galacturonic acid (GalA) also increased, to 68.28%. In addition, the neutral sugar (NS) content, esterification degree (DE), particle size, intrinsic viscosity and viscosity-average molecular weight (MV) of the modified SBP decreased. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to study the degradation of the SBP structure after ultrasonication. After ultrasonic treatment, the DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging activities of the modified SBP reached 67.84% and 54.67% at the concentration of 4 mg/mL, respectively, and the thermal stability of modified SBP was also improved. All of the results indicate that the ultrasonic technology is an environmentally friendly, simple, and effective strategy to improve the antioxidant capacity of SBP.

Abstract
Sea buckthorn peel is the by-product of the sea buckthorn processing, which contains many bioactive compounds. In this paper, sea buckthorn high methoxyl pectin (SBHMP) was obtained, with a yield of 8% and a light-colored. The SBHMP was a high methoxyl with a degree of esterification of 57.75% and uronic acid content of 65.35%. The structural and morphological characterization of SBHMP were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. Results showed that SBHMP presented a sheet and layered stacked morphological, and was mainly composed of galacturonic acid, arabinose, galactose, rhamnose, and mannose, which indicated that SBHMP mainly consisted of homogalacturonan (HG) and rhamnogalacturonan-I (RG-I) type pectin polysaccharides. In addition, SBHMP also presented significant gel, thickening, and emulsifying properties. The results exhibited that SBHMP could form jelly-like gels under acid and high sucrose conditions, presenting a shear-thinning behavior and increasing apparent viscosity with the enhancement of pectin and sucrose contents. Besides, SBHMP could form oil-in-water emulsions with pectin concentrations of 1.0–3.0%. When the SBHMP concentrations were 2.0 and 3.0%, the emulsions were stable during 7 days of storage. Findings in this paper demonstrated the potential of SBHMP to be a food thickener and emulsifier and support the in-depth utilization of sea buckthorn by-products.

Abstract
Ultrasound is increasingly applied to modify the structures and physicochemical properties of polysaccharides. Hence, this work investigated the ultrasound-induced changes in the rheological behavior and hydrophobic microdomains of Lignosus rhinocerotis polysaccharide (LRP). With an increase in ultrasonic time, the apparent viscosity, storage modulus, loss modulus, and the final percentage recovery of LRP/water system increased to reach the maximum after 10 min treatment and then decreased. These results indicated that short-term (10 min) ultrasound could increase the strength of the network structure of LRP/water system, while longer-term ultrasound (30 and 60 min) weakened the network structure. The self-healing properties of LRP/water system was not affected by ultrasound treatment according to repeated strain and time sweep data. The critical aggregation concentration of the LRP/water system decreased from 2.5 to 1.8 mg/mL after 10 min ultrasound and the number of hydrophobic microdomains increased, suggesting that ultrasound promoted the hydrophobic aggregation of LRP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The high yield of ultrasonic extraction has been widely studied. However, the effects of ultrasound on the properties of products has generally been ignored. In this study, the structural characteristics, rheological properties, and thermal stability of Flammulina velutipes polysaccharides (FVPs) under different ultrasonic power (200, 600, 1000 W) and time (10, 20, 30 min) were investigated to explore the effects of ultrasonic extraction on FVPs and the structure-physicochemical properties relationship. The ultrasonic intensity at the corresponding rated power was also measured. RESULTS The results showed that the molecular weight, particle size, and zeta potential of FVPs decreased as the ultrasonic intensity or time increased. The galactose, mannose, and fucose contents were increased, but the glucose content was decreased by ultrasonic extraction. Viscosity and weak gel strength were positively correlated with molecular weight. Thermal degradation enthalpy was positively correlated with the galactose and fucose contents. CONCLUSIONS Ultrasound reduced the viscosity and gel strength of FVPs by breaking the polysaccharide chain and improving the galactose and fucose contents, which improved the thermal stability of FVPs. This work provides a theoretical basis for the development of FVP foods with a clear structure-function relationship, which makes it possible to directionally produce FVPs by adjusting ultrasonic parameters during extraction. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Modification of hydrocolloids to alter their functional properties using chemical methods is well documented in the literature. There has been a recent trend of adopting eco-friendly and "green" methods for modification. Pectin, being a very important hydrocolloid finds its use in various food applications due to its gelling, emulsifying, and stabilizing properties. The adoption of various "green" methods can alter the properties of pectin and make it more suitable for incorporation in food products. The novel approaches such as microwave and pulsed electric field can also be utilized for solvent-free modification, making it desirable from the perspective of sustainability, as it reduces the consumption of organic chemicals. Pectic oligosaccharides (POSs) produced via novel approaches are being explored for their biological properties and incorporation in various functional foods. The review can help to set the perspective of potential scale-up and adoption by the food industry for modification of pectin.

Abstract
Pectin is a biocompatible polysaccharide with intrinsic biological activity, which may exhibit different structures depending on its source or extraction method. The extraction of pectin from various industrial by-products presents itself as a green option for the valorization of agro-industrial residues by producing a high commercial value product. Pectin is susceptible to physical, chemical, and/or enzymatic changes. The numerous functional groups present in its structure can stimulate different functionalities, and certain modifications can enable pectin for countless applications in food, agriculture, drugs, and biomedicine. It is currently a trend to use pectin to produce edible coating to protect foodstuff, antimicrobial bio-based films, nanoparticles, healing agents, and cancer treatment. Advances in methodology, use of different sources of extraction, and knowledge about structural modification have significantly expanded the properties, yields, and applications of this polysaccharide. Recently, structurally modified pectin has shown better functional properties and bioactivities than the native one. In addition, pectin can be used in conjunction with a wide variety of biopolymers with differentiated properties and specific functionalities. In this context, this review presents the structural characteristics and properties of pectin and information on the modification of this polysaccharide, its respective applications, perspectives, and future challenges.

Abstract
Ultrasonic degradation has become a promising strategy for producing modified pectin (MP). In this study, the impact of ultrasonic treatment at various pH values (4.0, 7.0, and 10.0) on the macromolecular, structural and rheological characteristics of citrus pectin was investigated. Results demonstrated that ultrasonic irradiation at the higher pH led to larger reductions in the intrinsic viscosity and weight-average molecular weight of pectin. The degradation kinetics of pectin at different pH values under ultrasound well fitted to a second-order reaction kinetics model. Acoustic cavitation, β-elimination, and demethylation led to the breakage of glycosidic linkages of side chains and methoxyl groups of pectin, but did not have noticeable influences on the main chain of pectin. The ultrasonic treatment at a high pH led to an apparent change in the rheological characteristics of pectin. Therefore, ultrasonic treatment at various pH values can be developed as a viable means to prepare desirable MP.

Abstract
Ultrasonic degradation has become a fascinating strategy for preparing modified pectin, contributing to the improvement of pectin's functional characteristics. In this study, the impacts of structural and conformational characteristics of original and ultrasound-treated citrus pectins on their functional properties were examined. The results showed that compared with ultrasound-treated pectins, untreated pectin presented higher rheological and gelling properties primarily attributed to its larger weight-average molecular weight (Mw), degree of methoxylation, amount of neutral sugar side chains, and z-average radius of gyration, as well as the more extended flexible-chain conformation. However, the ultrasound-treated pectins had better emulsifying properties than untreated pectin in an oil-in-water emulsion system. These properties, visually suggested by morphology analysis, including enhanced emulsifying capacity, emulsifying stability, reduced mean droplet size and negatively charged zeta potential. Moreover, the Mw and chain conformation of untreated and ultrasound-treated pectins played more decisive roles in their functional properties than the others.

Abstract
The effects of ultrasonic treatment on rheological and emulsifying properties of sugar beet pectin were studied. Results indicated that intrinsic viscosity ([η]) and viscosity average molecular weight ([M v]) decreased with the increased time from 0 to 30 min but increased when the duration prolonged to 45 min. The change of apparent viscosity with shear rate of all pectin solutions could be well described by Sisko model (R 2 ≥ .996) and the infinite-rate viscosity (η ∞) and the consistency coefficient (k s) values decreased after ultrasonic treatment. Ultrasonic treatment could have an effect on dynamic moduli and activation energy of sugar beet pectin solutions. Particle size of pectin emulsions decreased and absolute zeta potential increased with increased time from 0 to 20 min. Excessive ultrasonic duration (30 and 45 min) could result in the aggregation of oil droplets in pectin emulsion and decrease in emulsifying stability. It could be concluded that ultrasonic treatment could affect the rheological and emulsifying properties of sugar beet pectin. The results have important implications for understanding the ultrasonic modification of sugar beet pectin.

Abstract
Salted duck egg white, a major by-product of salted egg yolk production, is rich in nutrients. However, its high salinity limits its application in the food industry. In the present study, three haloduric bacterium strains (C1, C2, and C3) were isolated from Jinhua ham, and strain C1 exhibited higher ratio of the transparent circle diameter to the colony diameter (HC) and gelatin liquefaction. Strain C1 was further identified as a member of the genus Staphylococcus through gene sequencing and EzTaxon-e analyses. Salted duck egg white was fermented by strain C1, and the thermal stability, microstructure, amino acid composition, and γ-aminobutyric acid of the egg white were compared with egg white without fermentation. The fermented salted duck egg white had a significantly low salinity. Meanwhile, it increased its thermal stability compared with the control through losing an endotherm at around 85°C and forming a new endotherm peak starting at 91.8°C. Additionally, free amino acids and γ-aminobutyric acid were found only in the fermented salted duck egg white. These indicated that fermentation with salt-resistant strains could alter the structure of salted duck egg white and improve its nutritional quality.

Abstract
This study investigated the impact of ultrasonic modification at various ultrasonic power extents on the freeze-thaw stability of soy protein isolate (SPI) gel. The freeze-thaw stability of the gel was evaluated by examining the changes in texture, water holding capacity, microstructure and soluble protein content during the process of 5 freeze-thaw cycles. In addition, effects on particle size, surface hydrophobicity and structure were also explored. The results showed that within a certain range, the average particle size of the protein gradually decreased, and the particle size distribution was narrower with ultrasonic intensity, it may be due to the high shear and cavitation effects of sonication that reduce the degree of protein aggregation. Furthermore, we also detected that treated proteins had lower fluorescence intensity, higher surface hydrophobicity and more flexible molecular structure with the reduction of α-helical structure as well as the rise of random coil. In terms of gel freeze-thaw stability, moderate ultrasound treatment made the water holding capacity and soluble protein content of SPI gel reduce by 38.27% and 3.58%, whereas the hardness and elasticity increased by 510.23g and 0.06mm after 5 FTC. The corresponding changes of indexes of the control group were 75.05%, 51%, 1062.75g and 0.11mm, respectively. It can be observed that the change range of treated SPI gel properties was smaller than that of natural SPI gel, indicating that ultrasonic treatment can remarkably improve the freeze-thaw stability of the gel which might have something to do with changes of protein structure.

Abstract
Auricularia cornea var. Li. is an edible fungi and polysaccharides in Auricularia cornea var. Li. may have bioactive activities. Polysaccharides from Auricularia cornea var. Li. (ACP) was extracted using ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) method and compared with hot water extraction (HWE) for extraction yield, extraction rate, purity of polysaccharides, microstructure of residues after extraction, preliminary structure and rheological properties of polysaccharides. Optimum conditions for UAE (particle size of 150⁻200 mesh, water to raw material ratio of 70:1, extraction temperature at 70 °C for 40 min, ultrasonic amplitude of 40%) and HWE (particle size of 150⁻200 mesh, water to raw material ratio of 60:1, extraction temperature at 90 °C for 3.0 h) were obtained via single-factor experiment. Under optimum conditions, extraction yield of polysaccharides by UAE was 30.99 ± 1.93% which showed no significant difference with that by HWE (30.35 ± 1.67%) (P > 0.05). Extraction rate (29.29 ± 1.41%) and purity (88.62 ± 2.80%) of polysaccharides by UAE were higher than those by HWE (extraction rate of 24.95 ± 2.78% and purity of 75.33 ± 6.15%) (P < 0.05). Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images of residues by UAE showed more broken cells than those by HWE. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectra showed that the dialyzed ACP extracted by HWE and UAE (DACP-HWE and DACP-UAE) had similar characteristic absorption peaks of polysaccharides. Both DACP-HWE and DACP-UAE solutions showed typical shear thinning and temperature-independent behaviors (25⁻90 °C) and UAE resulted in polysaccharides with remarkably lower viscosity in comparison with HWE. DACP-UAE solutions exhibited more liquid-like state while DACP-HWE solutions solid-like system. Data indicated that ultrasound treatment may be a useful means for extraction of polysaccharides from Auricularia cornea var. Li.
