This research aimed to study effects of fermented whey on coagulation efficiency and physicochemical characteristics of tofu, compared to other acid coagulants （acetic acid and glucono-delta-lactone （GDL）） and salt coagulants （calcium sulfate and natural gypsum）. A randomized block design with a single factor was used in this research. Fermented whey could be used as coagulant in tofu manufacturing. Physicochemical characteristics of tofu from fermented whey were not significantly difference compared to tofu from calcium salt and acid coagulants. Coagulation efficiencies （CF, TSIL TPR and TB~） of fermented whey are lower than that from calcium salt coagulants （calcium sulphate and natural gypsum）. Fermented whey showed no significant differences in tofu properties and parameters of coagulation process, compared to GDL and acetic acid.展开更多

In terms of scalability and cost efficiency, inkjet printing is very competitive over other existing direct- writing methods. However, it has been challenging to obtain highly stable and clog-free graphene-based ink. Here, we report an alternative and highly efficient technique to directly print a reducing reagent on graphene oxide film to form conductive graphene patterns. By this ＂inkjet reduction＂ method, without using any other microfabrication technique, conductive graphene patterns and devices for various applications are obtained. The ionic nature of the reductant ink makes it clog-free and stable for continuous and large-area printing. The method shows self-limited reduction feature, which enables electrical conductivity of graphene patterns to be tuned within 5 orders of magnitude, reaching as high as 8,000 S.m-1. Furthermore, this method can be extended to produce noble metal/graphene composite patterns. The devices, including transistors, biosensors, and surface- enhanced Raman scattering substrates, demonstrate excellent functionalities. This work provides a new strategy to prepare large-area graphene-based devices that is low-cost and highly efficient, promising to advance research on graphene- based flexible electronics.展开更多
