Application


  • Optimization of guar gum-based anti-browning coating for prolonging the shelf life of cut potatoes.: Calcium chloride dihydrate is utilized in developing an anti-browning coating for cut potatoes, significantly extending their shelf life. This application showcases its effectiveness in food preservation, ensuring quality and reducing food waste (Mondal et al., 2024).

  • Phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C-associated phospholipid metabolism mediates DcGLRs channel to promote calcium influx under CaCl(2) treatment in shredded carrots during storage.: This study explores how calcium chloride dihydrate influences phospholipid metabolism and calcium influx in shredded carrots, enhancing their quality during storage. The research provides insights into the biochemical pathways involved in maintaining post-harvest vegetable quality (Zhang et al., 2024).

Drug delivery systems such as microspheres have shown potential in releasing biologicals effectively for tissue engineering applications. Microfluidic systems are especially attractive for generating microspheres as they produce microspheres of controlled-size and in low volumes, using micro-emulsion processes. However, the

Nicarbazin (NCZ) is an anticoccidial drug routinely used in the poultry industry that can negatively affect reproduction by reducing egg production, egg weight, and egg hatchability. The molecular mechanisms by which NCZ affects reproduction are unknown. Lipoprotein lipase, vitellogenin, transglutaminase
