    Abstract Under the dual-carbon goals, enhancing the green development level of logistics industry and realizing its low-carbon transformation are important issues that need to be solved urgently. Amidst the continuous escalation in the total energy consumption of the national logistics industry, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (BTH) region has exhibited a favorable descending trajectory in this respect. It is necessary to investigate the underlying reasons. Based on the panel data from 2012 to 2021, the DEA and Malmquist index are employed to analyze the low-carbon logistics efficiency of the BTH region from both static and dynamic perspectives. Furthermore, the inefficiency analysis is conducted to identify the deficiencies of low-carbon logistics industry in this region. Results show that (1) from the static perspective, the development of low-carbon logistics industry in the BTH region is relatively unbalanced. Compared to Tianjin and Hebei, Beijing's low-carbon logistics efficiency is significantly lower, becoming the focal area for attention; (2) from the dynamic perspective, technological progress is the main reason for the fluctuation of total factor productivity in the BTH region and a constraining factor for further improvements; (3) from the results of inefficiency analysis, the forthcoming emphasis on low-carbon logistics in Beijing should be on optimizing the number of logistics practitioners, transportation efficiency, and energy efficiency. Economic output and energy efficiency are relatively vulnerable aspects in Tianjin and Hebei, respectively, warranting due consideration. The research results of this paper have important practical implications for better developing low-carbon logistics in the BTH region and leveraging its leading role nationwide.

    Abstract Carbon mitigation in the building sector is crucial for China to fulfill its commitments towards achieving a carbon peak and carbon neutrality. However, the impact of societal development and ecological indicators on building carbon emissions remains unclear. This study employs the panel smooth transition regression model to investigate the complex implications of societal development comprehensive indicators, characterized by harmonious development, decoupling, and technological advances, on buildings' total carbon emissions, based on the evidence from China's 30 provinces for the period between 2007 and 2020. Additionally, the robustness of the model confirms that the conclusion is still valid. The empirical results indicate a strongly non-linear relationship between societal development comprehensive indicators and building carbon emissions. Both the harmonious development and technological advances exhibit two transition functions, and decoupling features a single transition function. Harmonious development is more sensitive to the impact of building carbon emissions, while technological advances have tremendous emission reduction potential. From the time dimension, fluctuation trends and ranges are different. From the spatial dimension, the inhibiting and promoting effects on each province have regional heterogeneity. Our results entail suggestions for reduced building total carbon emissions and practical strategies for regional climate resilience and efficiency in mitigating climate change.

    Abstract Starch granule oleogels were prepared and their rheological properties were precisely tuned using the capillary bridging phenomenon. The addition of a small amount of water to an oily suspension of starch granules can lead to starch granule bridging and network formation, transitioning it from a fluid-like to a gel-like state. Small-granule starches with high specific surface area and interfacial area exhibited a greater number of liquid bridges and stronger starch granules interactions, making them more prone to forming structurally stable oleogel systems. By increasing the content of water and starch granule, the starch oleogels exhibited three distinct structural states: pendular state (water ≤ 3.28 %, starch ≤ 17.85 %), pendular bridging network (water: 4.92 %, starch: 24.59 %), and capillary aggregates (water ≥ 6.56 %, starch > 24.59 %). Furthermore, the influence of starch granule surface lipids on the lubrication performance of the oleogel system was investigated. Surface roughness increased after extraction of surface lipids, and the friction coefficient also showed a significant increase. Overall, capillary suspension system can potentially be used to design novel fat food products, and our findings have established the correlation between starch granule surface properties and sensory perception in food, providing valuable insights for adjusting the oral processing characteristics of food.

    Abstract In this study, we investigated the effect of addition of citrus fiber (CF; 5% and 10%, which consists mainly of soluble pectin and insoluble cellulose) on physical properties and microstructure of meat analogs based on soy protein isolate and wheat gluten using high-moisture extrusion. Layered structure or microstructure of meat analogs was observed by scanning electron microscope and confocal laser scanning microscope. Compared to the control (without CF), meat analogs with CF addition showed disorder layered microstructure, which was interconnected with smaller fibers. Rheological measurements (strain sweep and frequency sweep) show that the incorporation of CF resulted in meat analogs with softer texture. The moisture content of meat analogs increased significantly upon the addition of CF, which was also correlated with juiciness. Sensory evaluation and dynamic salt release results confirm that the saltiness of meat analogs with CF addition was enhanced due to the structural changes of phase-separated structures, achieving salt reduction by 20% and showing a saltiness similar to the control sample. This research provides a novel approach to modulate the saltiness perception of meat analogs by modifying the phase separation of protein/polysaccharides. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Citrus fiber is added to the plant protein matrix to prepare meat analogs with high moisture content and enhanced saltiness perception via modifying the phase separation of protein/polysaccharides. This work provided a potential target for the meat industry to produce the meat analogs with less salt intake. Further research can be conducted using modified fibrous or inner structure of meat analogs to improve its quality.

    Abstract Solving dense linear systems of equations is quite time consuming and requires an efficient parallel implementation on powerful supercomputers. Du, Zheng and Wang presented some new iterative methods for linear systems [Journal of Applied Analysis and Computation, 2011, 1(3): 351-360]. This paper shows that their methods are suitable for solving dense linear system of equations, compared with the classical Jacobi and Gauss-Seidel iterative methods.

    Abstract Double emulsion is the most common multiple emulsion with compartmentalized internal structure. It can be used for delivery of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic bioactives and fat reduction in foods. However, conventional approach for stable double emulsion preparation often requires high dosage of synthetic surfactants (e.g., polyglycerol polyricinoleate, PGPR) and complicated two-step emulsification process. Herein, we report a facile approach to create stable double emulsion using particular emulsifier of edible chitosan/soy β-conglycinin (7S) complex nanoparticles via one-step emulsification. By modulating chitosan/7S complex ratio of particles and algal oil content in oil phase, water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) Pickering double emulsion was generated in most cases. The dominant mechanism for one-step generation of Pickering double emulsion can be attributed to the polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in algal oil. The binding of PUFA on particle surface contributes to hydrophobization of the chitosan/7S complex nanoparticles, leading to stabilization of W/O interface. Moreover, stability of the resultant Pickering double emulsions is correlated to particle contact angle. When using nanoparticles with chitosan/7S complex ratio of 1:2 and oil phase containing 40 wt% algal oil, particle contact angle at O/W interface is near 90°, which is the optimum condition to produce highly stable Pickering double emulsion. This facile approach for the fabrication of stable double emulsion is promising for a wide range of applications, particularly in food field.

    Abstract Salt reduction strategies in liquid foods remains a significant challenge. The oral perception of Na⁺ is strongly dependent on its salivary penetration and mucosal adsorption. To understand the mechanism of Na⁺ saltiness enhancement modulated by polysaccharide, protease hydrolysis (trypsin and acid protease) was used to modify the molecular conformation of Gum Arabic (GA), a highly branched polyanionic polysaccharide. The salivary permeation, mucosal retention in mucin layer, and salty taste of Na⁺ were investigated. Saltiness-enhanced effect of GA is strongly influenced by its molecular conformation. Compared to native GA, protease-hydrolyzed GA exhibited a higher saltiness-enhanced effect due to more rapid Na⁺ diffusion in saliva and stronger mucosal retention. Protease-hydrolyzed GA, especially acid protease-hydrolyzed GA (GA-AcPr), exhibited lower zeta potential (from original −22.5 to −27.96) and stronger Na⁺ loading capacity. The obvious decreases in molecular weight (Mw) and the radius of gyration (Rg) were observed for trypsin-hydrolyzed GA (GA-Trypsin), which may be responsible for the higher Na⁺ diffusion effect of GA-saliva solution due to decreased molecule twine around each other. GA-AcPr exhibited looser and highly branched conformation, as evidenced by a more pronounced "U-shaped" curve and higher Rg/Rₕ. Moreover, Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) results verified stronger affinity between GA-AcPr and mucin, indicating that the saltiness-enhanced effect of GA-AcPr may be mainly achieved by increasing adhesive retention of Na⁺. These results would be useful to better understand the structure-function relationship of polysaccharides and the taste perception of Na⁺.
