Chemical structures,analytical approaches and toxicological effects of oxidative derivatives of triglycerides as potential hazards in lipid thermal processing:A review

There is an increasing attention on oxidative derivatives of triglycerides,a group of potential thermal processing induced food toxicants,which are formed during the thermal processing of food lipids.This review aims to summarize current knowledge about their formation mechanisms,detection approaches,and toxicology impacts.Oxidative derivatives of triglycerides are generated through the oxidation,cyclization,polymerization,and hydrolysis of triglycerides under high-temperature and abundant oxygen.The analytical techniques,including GC,HPSEC,MS,^(1)H-NMR were discussed in analyzing these components.In addition,their toxic effects on human health,including effects on the liver,intestines,cardiovascular system,immune system,and metabolism were elucidated.Information in this review could be used to improve the understanding of oxidative derivatives of triglycerides and ultimately improve academic and industrial strategies for eliminating these compounds in thermal processing food systems.

Protective Effect of Reduced Glutathione C_(60) Derivative against Hydrogen Peroxide-induced Apoptosis in HEK 293T Cells

Hydrogen peroxide（H_2O_2） and free radicals cause oxidative stress, which induces cellular injuries, metabolic dysfunction, and even cell death in various clinical abnormalities. Fullerene（C_（60）） is critical for scavenging oxygen free radicals originated from cell metabolism, and reduced glutathione（GSH） is another important endogenous antioxidant. In this study, a novel water-soluble reduced glutathione fullerene derivative（C_（60）-GSH） was successfully synthesized, and its beneficial roles in protecting against H_2O_2-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis in cultured HEK 293 T cells were investigated. Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance were used to confirm the chemical structure of C_（60）-GSH. Our results demonstrated that C_（60）-GSH prevented the reactive oxygen species（ROS）-mediated cell damage. Additionally, C_（60）-GSH pretreatment significantly attenuated H_2O_2-induced superoxide dismutase（SOD） consumption and malondialdehyde（MDA） elevation. Furthermore, C_（60）-GSH inhibited intracellular calcium mobilization, and subsequent cell apoptosis via bcl-2/bax-caspase-3 signaling pathway induced by H_2O_2 stimulation in HEK 293 T cells. Importantly, these protective effects of C_（60）-GSH were superior to those of GSH. In conclusion, these results suggested that C_（60）-GSH has potential to protect against H_2O_2-induced cell apoptosis by scavenging free radicals and maintaining intracellular calcium homeostasis without evident toxicity.

Metal oxides heterojunction derived Bi-In hybrid electrocatalyst for robust electroreduction of CO_(2) to formate

Electrochemical reduction of Bi-based metal oxides is regarded as an effective strategy to rationally design advanced electrocatalysts for electrochemical CO_(2)reduction reaction(CO_(2)RR).Realizing high selectivity at high current density is important for formate production,but remains challenging.Herein,the BiIn hybrid electrocatalyst,deriving from the Bi2O3/In2O3heterojunction(MOD-Biln),shows excellent catalytic performance for CO_(2)RR.The Faradaic efficiency of formate(FEHCOO-) can be realized over 90% at a wide potential window from-0.4 to-1.4 V vs.RHE,while the partial current density of formate(jHCOO-) reaches about 136.7 mA cm^(-2)at-1.4 V in flow cell without IR-compensation.In additio n,the MOD-Biln exhibits superior stability with high selectivity of formate at 100 mA cm^(-2).Systematic characterizations prove the optimized catalytic sites and interface charge transfer of MOD-Biln,while theoretical calculation confirms that the hybrid structure with dual Bi/In metal sites contribute to the optimal free energy of*H and*OCHO intermediates on MOD-Biln surface,thus accelerating the formation and desorption step of*HCOOH to final formate production.Our work provides a facile and useful strategy to develop highly-active and stable electrocatalysts for CO_(2)RR.

Electrosynthesis of hydroquinonethioethers using electrochemical oxidation of hydroquinone in the presence of thiouracil derivatives

Electrochemical oxidation of hydroquinone（1a） has been studied in the presence of 6-methyl-2-thiouracil（3a） and 6-propyl-2-thiouracil（3b） as nucleophiles in a DMF/buffer mixture,using cyclic voltammetry and controlled-potential coulometry.The results indicated that the p-quinone（2a） derived from 1a participates in a 1 4-Michael addition reaction with the thiouracil derivatives（3a–b） to form the corresponding hydroquinonethioether derivatives（6a–6b）.The electrosynthesis of these compounds（6a–b） has been successfully performed on carbon rod electrodes in an undivided cell in good yield and purity.

Temperature-induced resistance transition behaviors of melamine sponge composites wrapped with different graphene oxide derivatives

Temperature-re s ponsive resistance transition behaviors of the melamine sponges wrapped with different graphene oxide derivatives(i.e.nanoribbon,wide-ribbon and sheet)were investigated.Melamine sponge composites coated by three types of GO derivatives were prepared by a simple dip-coating approach.All these composites show good mechanical flexibility and reliability(almost unchanged compressive stress at 70%strain after 100 cycles),high hydrophobicity(water contact angle>120°),excellent flame resistance(self-extinguishing)and structural stability even after burning,which was used to construct the resistance-based fire alarm/warning sensor.Notably,the different resistance response behaviors of such sensors are strongly dependent on the GO size and network formed on the MF skeleton surface.Typically,at a fixed high temperature of~350℃,the three fire alarm sensors show different response time(to trigger the alarm light)of 6.3,8.4 and 11.1 s for nanoribbon,wide-ribbon and sheet at the same concentration,respectively.The structural observation and chemical analysis demonstrated that the discrepancy of temperature-responsive resistance transition behaviors of various GO derivatives was strongly determined by their different thermal reduction degrees during the high-tempe rature or flame treating process.This work offers a design and development for construction of smart fire alarm device for potential fire prevention and safety applications.

N-doped CoAl oxides from hydrotalcites with enhanced oxygen vacancies for excellent low-temperature propane oxidation

A series of nitrogen-doped CoAlO(N-CoAlO)were constructed by a hydrothermal route combined with a controllable NH_(3) treatment strategy.The effects of NH_(3) treatment on the physico-chemical properties and oxidation activities of N-Co AlO catalysts were investigated.In comparison to CoAlO,a smallest content decrease in surface Co^(3+)(serving as active sites)while a largest increased amount of surface Co^(2+)(contributing to oxygen species)are obtained over N-Co AlO/4h among the N-CoAlO catalysts.Meanwhile,a maximum N doping is found over N-CoAlO/4h.As a result,N-CoAlO/4h(under NH_(3) treatment at 400℃ for 4 hr)with rich oxygen vacancies shows optimal catalytic activity,with a T90(the temperature required to reach a 90% conversion of propane)at 266℃.The more oxygen vacancies are caused by the co-operative effects of N doping and suitable reduction of Co^(3+) for NCoAlO/4h,leading to an enhanced oxygen mobility,which in turn promotes C_(3)H_(8) total oxidation activity dominated by Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism.Moreover,in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy(DRIFTs)analysis shows that N doping facilities the decomposition of intermediate species(propylene and formate)into CO_(2)over the catalyst surface of N-CoAlO/4h more easily.Our reported design in this work will provide a promising way to develop abundant oxygen vacancies of Co-based catalysts derived from hydrotalcites by a simple NH_(3) treatment.

One-step co-electrodeposition of graphene oxide doped poly(hydroxymethylated-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) film and its electrochemical studies of indole-3-acetic acid

A novel graphene oxide （GO） doped poly（hydroxymethylated-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene） （PEDOTM） film has been achieved via one-step co-electrodeposition and utilized for electrochemical studies of indole-3-acetic acid （IAA）. The incorporation of GO into PEDOTM film facilitated the electrocatalytic activity and exhibited a favorable interaction between the PEDOTM/GO film and the phytohormone during the oxidation of IAA. Under optimized conditions, differential pulse voltammetry and square wave voltammetry were used for the quantitative analysis of IAA, respectively, each exhibiting a wide linearity range from 0.6 μmol L-1 to 10 μmol L-1 and 0.05 μmol L-1 to 40 μmol L-1, good sensitivity with a low detection Iimit of 0.087 μmol L-1 and 0.033μmol L T, respectively, as well as good stability. With the notable advantages of a green, sensitive method, expeditious response and facile operation, the as-prepared PEDOTM/GO organic-inorganic composite film provides a promising platform for electrochemical studies of IAA.
