Effects of Naringenin and Its Glycosides on Functional Properties of Oat Protein and Their Interaction Mechanism by Wuzhen LIU, Ti LI, Qin GENG, Jun CHEN, Jialong HAN, Chengmei LIU, Taotao DAI

“…To investigate the effect of naringenin and its glycoside (naringin and narirutin) on foaming, emulsifying and interfacial tension of oat protein and their interaction mechanism, in this study, fluorescence spectra and circular dichroism were used to elucidate the interaction mechanism and protein structure changes of oat protein-flavonoid complex system. The interaction of oat protein-flavonoid complex system was visualized by molecular simulation technique. …”

Kinetic Theory with Casimir Invariants—Toward Understanding of Self-Organization by Topological Constraints by Zensho Yoshida

“…A topological constraint, characterized by the Casimir invariant, imparts non-trivial structures in a complex system. We construct a kinetic theory in a constrained phase space (infinite-dimensional function space of macroscopic fields), and characterize a self-organized structure as a thermal equilibrium on a leaf of foliated phase space. …”
