Optimization of biodegradable paper cup packaging coated with whey protein isolate and rice bran wax as potential popcorn package. [PDF]
Biodegradable packaging is one of the best types of packaging that wishes not to harm the environment. Paper packaging coated with materials, such as rice bran wax and whey protein isolate, both of which are food waste, can improve paper color and resistance, and provide a good moisture barrier.

Quantitative profiling of feruloylated arabinoxylan side chains from graminaceous cell walls [PDF]
Graminaceous arabinoxylans are distinguished by decoration with feruloylated monosaccha-ridic and oligosaccharidic side-chains. Although it is hypothesized that structural complexity and abundance of these feruloylated arabinoxylan side-chains may ...

A sugarcane mosaic virus vector for gene expression in maize. [PDF]
Abstract Zea mays L. ssp. mays (maize) is an important crop plant as well as model system for genetics and plant biology. The ability to select among different virus‐based platforms for transient gene silencing or protein expression experiments is expected to facilitate studies of gene function in maize and complement experiments with stable transgenes.
