Microbial transglutaminase (mTG) was used as a crosslinking agent in the preparation of gelatin sponges. The physical properties of the materials were evaluated by measuring their material porosity, water absorption, and elastic modulus. The stability of the sponges were assessed via hydrolysis and enzymolysis. To study the material degradation in vivo, subcutaneous implantations of sponges were performed on rats for 1–3 months, and the implanted sponges were analyzed. To evaluate the cell compatibility of the mTG crosslinked gelatin sponges (mTG sponges), adipose-derived stromal stem cells were cultured and inoculated into the scaffold. Cell proliferation and viability were measured using alamarBlue assay and LIVE/DEAD fluorescence staining, respectively. Cell adhesion on the sponges was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results show that mTG sponges have uniform pore size, high porosity and water absorption, and good mechanical properties. In subcutaneous implantation, the material was partially degraded in the first month and completely absorbed in the third month. Cell experiments showed evident cell proliferation and high viability. Results also showed that the cells grew vigorously and adhered tightly to the sponge. In conclusion, mTG sponge has good biocompatibility and can be used in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

TThe aims of this research work were to improve touhgness and water resistance of wheat gluten (WG) by epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) compared to glycerol. WG specimens were mixed and prepared by internal mixer and compression molding machine, respectively. ENR and glycerol were varied from 10 to 40 wt%. Effects of modifier types and contents on WG were evaluated by tensile, impact and water absorption testings and microstructure and thermal analyses. The increase of ENR or glycerol contents led to the increase of toughness by considering the increase of impact strength and elongation at break. Glass transition temperature of WG tended to decrease with the increase of ENR or glycerol contents, especially for glycerol. The presence of glycerol affected to the decomposition temperature values whereas ENR did not affect to decomposition. ENR improved water resistant of WG specimen but trend of glycerol showed the opposite behavior. Weight loss of modified WG with glycerol was found at immersion time of 1440 min.

The present study aimed to investigate the influences of experimental variables, i.e. hydrothermal treatments (whithout and treated) and convective drying temperatures (70, 80 and 90°C) on the quality characteristics of okara powders. The quality parameters of the okara powder studied in this experiment consisted of color attributes, particle density, water absorption capacity, oil absorption capacity, pH, viscosity, and non-enzymatic browning. The results showed that the quality of okara powders varied depending on the experimental variables. Hydrothermal treatment and drying of okara at lower temperatures could increase the brightness (L value) from 62.37 to 70.23, and increased the b value of okara powder color from 43.65 to 49.16. However, the particle density (1.04-1.35 g/cm3) and pH value (6.48-6.78) of okara powders were not significantly affected by hydrothermal treatment. The okara powder solution with hydrothermal treatment (2.10-4.50 cP) showed a lower average viscosity value compared to okara powder without hydrothermal treatment ((2.60-4.80 cP). The study also concluded that okara powder absorbed significantly more water rather than absorbing oil, as indicated by the value of water absorption capacity (4.7-5.7 mL/g), which greater than oil absorption capacity (1.1-1.4 mL/g). Non-enzymatic browning occurrence on okara powder samples (OD = 0.52-0.66) was more affected by the drying temperature than hydrothermal treatment. Keywords: convective drying, hydrothermal treatment, okara powder quality
