Utilization of Amylose−Lipid Complexes as Molecular Nanocapsules for Conjugated Linoleic Acid
TL;DR: All complexes showed high retention of CLA in simulated stomach conditions, and the digestion of complexes by amylases results in high hydrolysis and CLA release by pancreatin and alpha-amylase, suggesting that amylose-CLA complexes can serve as molecular nanocapsules for protection and delivery of CLA.

Collapse processes in shrinkage of hydrophilic gels during dehydration
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the driving force and the end point of the shrinkage process, during dehydration, using poly(acryl amide) and poly (acrylic acid) gels as a model of food systems.

Swelling and contraction driven mass transfer processes during osmotic dehydration of uncharged hydrogels
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that the mass transfer process in polyacrylamide polymeric matrix is determined by the interaction between the low molecular solute and the gel matrix.

Scaling approach to water sorption isotherms of hydrogels and foods
TL;DR: In this paper, a scaling sorption isotherm at high water activity was formulated for a food system with physically significant parameters, where the scaling approach in polymer science indicates that in an uncharged network the osmotic pressure is affected by the mobility of the polymer segments and thus by the degree of cross-linking.
