Color Stability Enhancement and Antioxidation Improvement of Sanhua Plum Wine under Circulating Ultrasound.

ABSTRACT: Anthocyanins contribute to the attractive color of fruit wine, and their excessive degradation is deleterious to quality, especially for wine with an inherently low anthocyanin content, such as Sanhua plum wine. Ultrasonic treatment is well recognized for wine color maintenance. In the present study, fresh Sanhua plum wine was ultrasonic-treated and aged in barrels for three months. Our results demonstrate that ultrasonic treatment at 28 and 40 kHz improves color performance, as expressed by an increase in a*, b*, and C* values and color intensity, which is highly related to copigmentation. This successful conservation was attributed to the inactivation of polyphenol oxidase and the corresponding reduction in anthocyanin degradation. Finally, the increased antioxidative ability was verified due to the hydrogen donating ability of the surviving anthocyanins. This study indicates the reliability of ultrasonic treatment for providing superior colorfastness during Sanhua plum wine aging, which is also of great potential in processing different fruit wines.

Project description:Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) have reached the commercialization phase, representing a promising approach to curbing carbon emissions. However, greater durability of PEMFCs is of paramount importance to ensure their long-term viability and effectiveness, and catalyst development has become a focal point of research. Pt nanoparticles supported on carbon materials (Pt/C) are the primary catalysts used in PEMFCs. Accomplishing both a high dispersion of uniform metal particles on the carbon support and robust adhesion between the metal particles and the carbon support is imperative for superior stability, and will thereby, advance the practical applications of PEMFCs in sustainable energy solutions. Ultrasound-assisted polyol synthesis (UPS) has emerged as a suitable method for synthesizing catalysts with a well-defined metal-support structure, characterized by the high dispersion and uniformity of metal nanoparticles. In this study, we focused on the effect of ultrasound on the synthesis of Pt/C via UPS and the resulting enhanced stability of Pt/C catalysts. Therefore, we compared Pt/C synthesized using a conventional polyol synthesis (Pt/C_P) and Pt/C synthesized via UPS (Pt/C_U) under similar synthesis conditions. The two catalysts had a similar Pt content and the average particle size of the Pt nanoparticles was similar; however, the uniformity and dispersion of Pt nanoparticles in Pt/C_U were better than those of Pt/C_P. Moreover, ex/in-situ analyses performed in a high-temperature environment, in which nanoparticles tend to agglomerate, have revealed that Pt/C_U exhibited a notable improvement in the adhesion of Pt particles to the carbon support compared with that of Pt/C_P. The enhanced adhesion is crucial for maintaining the stability of the catalyst, ultimately contributing to a better durability in practical applications. Ultrasound was applied to the carbon support without the Pt precursor under the same UPS conditions used to synthesize Pt/C_U to identify the reason for the increased adhesion between the Pt particles and the carbon support in Pt/C_U, and we discovered that oxygen functional groups (C-O, C = O, and O-C = O) for anchoring site of Pt particles were generated in the carbon support. Pt/C_U displayed an increase in stability in an electrochemical accelerated stress test (AST) in an acidic electrolyte. The physical and chemical effects of ultrasound on the synthesis of Pt/C via UPS were identified, and we concluded that UPS is suitable for synthesizing carbon supported electrocatalysts with high stability.

Project description:Background and objectivesPort wine birthmark, also known as port wine stain (PWS) is a skin discoloration characterized by red/purple patches caused by vascular malformation. PWS is typically treated by using lasers to destroy abnormal blood vessels. The laser heating facilitates selective photothermolysis of the vessels and attenuates quickly in the tissue due to high optical scattering. Therefore, residual abnormal capillaries deep in the tissue survive and often lead to the resurgence of PWS. Ultrasound (US) has also been proposed to treat PWS, however, it is nonselective with respect to the vasculature but penetrates deeper into the tissue. We aim to study the feasibility of a hybrid PWS treatment modality combining the advantages of both modalities.Materials and methodsIn this manuscript, we propose a photoacoustic (PA) guided US focusing methodology for PWS treatment which combines the optical contrast-based selectivity with US penetration to focus the US energy onto the vasculature. The PA signals collected by the transducers, when time-reversed, amplified, and transmitted, converge onto the PWS, thus minimally affecting the neighboring tissue. We performed two- and three-dimensional simulations that mimic realistic transducers and medium properties in this proof of concept study.ResultsThe time-reversed PA signals when transmitted from the transducers converged onto the vasculature, as expected, thus reducing the heating of the neighboring tissue. We observed that while the US focus is indeed affected due to experimental factors such as limited-view, large detector separation and finite detection bandwidth, and so forth, the US did focus completely or partially onto the vasculature demonstrating the feasibility of the proposed methodology.ConclusionThe results demonstrate the potential of the proposed methodology for PWS treatment. This treatment method can destroy the deeper capillaries while minimally heating the neighboring tissue, thus reducing the chances of the resurgence of PWS and as well as cosmetic scarring.
