“…Te decrease in particle size can be attributed to the combined efect of ultrasonication and zinc binding. Ultrasonication generates intense shear forces and microstreaming within the zincprotein solution, breaking apart larger protein aggregates into smaller particles [88]. Te formation and implosion of cavitation bubbles during ultrasonication create localized high-energy zones, contributing to the breakage of protein aggregates [80].…”

Zinc is crucial for physiological processes; however, deficiency persists globally. Binding zinc to plant proteins enhances absorption, minimizing toxicity risks and offering a potential solution for deficiency. Mineral binding efficiency of the unmodified protein is limited; hence, dual modification (succinylation and ultrasonication) is potentially used to achieve higher binding efficiency. Enhancing zinc uptake is crucial for cellular health due to its vital roles in various biological processes including enzymatic activity, DNA repair, immune function, antioxidant defense, hormone regulation, brain function, signaling, growth, gene expression, and reproduction. Therefore, this research aimed to develop a chickpea protein-zinc complex and to evaluate the influence of dual modification on their physiochemical, bioavailability, and cellular mineral uptake attributes. Succinylation exhibited significant improvements in the water-holding capacity by 28.73%, oil-holding capacity by 34.09%, and solubility by 5.46% of the chickpea protein-zinc complex as compared to the native complex. Mineral bioavailability increased by 8.32%, and there were notable increases in cellular uptake of zinc by 2.10%, retention by 5.80%, and transport by 3.96%, respectively. Furthermore, the dual modification approach resulted in a notable decrease in the particle size of the chickpea protein-zinc complex, with a substantial reduction of 73.25% and an increased zeta potential value of −21 mV compared to the succinylated complex. As well, dual modification concurrently led to a substantial decline of 48.04% in the sulfhydryl (SH) content, coupled with a marked increase of 21.92% in the surface hydrophobicity. In addition, zinc bioavailability, cellular uptake, retention, and transport were further enhanced by 1.89, 3.34, and 4.8% through dual modification. Our findings highlight that the dual modification of the chickpea protein-zinc complex shows a promising strategy for enhancing the techno-functional characteristics, bioavailability, and cellular uptake of zinc, which could be a better platform for developing vegan foods.

“…Since magnesium exhibits highly reactive and forms magnesium oxide when exposed to the atmosphere, it is a major drawback of such alloys. It was forecasted that by adding low density of reinforcement to a combination of different base materials, the density of composites was restored, and its mechanical properties were notably improved 15 . A literal analysis found that the inclusion of B 4 C reinforcement of different particle sizes results in a higher mechanical strength of the material.…”

Mg–Al–Zn alloys are widely preferred in many applications by considering their excellent properties of high stiffness-to-weight ratio, lightweight, high strength-to-weight ratio, low density, castability, high-temperature mechanical properties, machinability, high corrosion resistance, and great damping. Improving the properties of such alloys is challenging due to their hexagonal crystal structure and other alloying limitations. This study aims to synthesize Mg–Al–Zn alloy by incorporating the alloying elements 8.3 wt% Al, 0.35 wt% Zn on pure magnesium (Control specimen). Then synthesize Mg–Al–Zn/BN/B4C hybrid composite by reinforcing B4C at three weight proportions (3 wt%, 6 wt%, 9 wt%) along with constant solid lubricant BN (3 wt%) through a stir casting process. The hybrid composite samples were characterized and compared with the performances of the control specimen. The results reveal that 9 wt% B4C reinforced samples outperformed through recording the improvement of tensile strength by 28.94%, compressive strength by 37.89%, yield strength by 74.63%, and hardness by 14.91% than the control specimen. Apart from this, it has reduced the corrosion area (37.81%) and noticed negligible changes in density (increased by 0.03%) and porosity (decreased by 0.01%) than the control specimen. The samples were characterized using SEM, XRD, and EDAX apparatus.

“…Sonic streaming improves nanoparticle movement and homogeneous dispersal in the liquid melt at the same time. [40][41][42] A review of the literature reveals that there has been little research into the corrosion and stress-dependent high cycle fatigue characteristics of hybrid nanoparticulatereinforced Mg-Zn alloys. The effects of hybrid nanoreinforcement (SiC P + hBN P ) weight percent on the mechanical, corrosion, and fatigue strength of Mg nanocomposites manufactured using an ultrasonication-assisted squeeze casting process were investigated in this study.…”

Magnesium (Mg) alloys are characterized by their high specific strength, strong damping resistance, and poor performance against corrosion. This study attempted to evaluate the corrosion capability and fatigue behavior of Mg–Zn alloys reinforced with nanosized silicon carbide (SiC) and hBN particles. Initially, different combinations (1.0 wt% nano‐SiCP [fixed] and 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 wt% nano‐hBNP) of hybrid nanocomposites were synthesized through a stir‐ultrasonication casting process. The samples cut from the nanocomposites were subjected to salt spray, potentiodynamic polarization, tensile, and fatigue tests. The resistance to corrosion and fatigue characteristics of the monolithic alloy and hybrid nanocomposites were measured and compared. Due to the reduction in potential imbalance across the Mg‐α and I‐phases, the hybrid nanocomposites revealed enhanced corrosion performance as compared with the base alloy. The fatigue strength of the Mg–Zn alloy reinforced with 1% SiCP and 1.5% hBNP is about 94 MPa, which is 41% greater than the base alloy's fatigue strength. The scanning electron microscopy micrograph is helpful in investigating the microstructures of the corrosion, tensile, and fatigue‐tested samples.
