In order to decrease the cost of polishing putty, the interrelations between talcum powder as the filler and KH550, KH560, or silane compound coupler were investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR). It was proved that the effect of Modification of KH560 coupler is the best.

The persistent adhesion of salmon muscle to food container walls after treatment with urea solution was observed. This work evaluated the diffusion of antibiotics from the salmon muscle to the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) coating protecting the electrolytic chromium coated steel (ECCS) plates. New aquaculture production systems employ antibiotics such as florfenicol, florfenicol amine, oxytetracycline, and erythromycin to control diseases. The introduction of antibiotics is a matter of concern regarding the effects on human health and biodiversity. It is important to determine their impact on the adhesion of postmortem salmon muscle to can walls and the surface and structural changes affecting the functionality of multilayers. This work characterized the changes occurring in the multilayer PET polymer and steel of containers by electron microscopy, 3D atomic force microscopy (3D-AFM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) analyses. A robust mass spectrometry methodology was employed to determine the presence of antibiotic residues. No evidence of antibiotics was observed on the protective coating in the range between 0.001 and 2.0 ng/mL; however, the presence of proteins, cholesterol, and alpha-carotene was detected. This in-depth profiling of the matrix-level elements is relevant for the use of adequate materials in the canning export industry.

In the search for exopolysaccharide (EPS)—producing LAB strains as potential additive for industrial applications, EPS produced by Lactobacillus rhamnosus NBRC 3425 was subjected to partial characterization to provide further information on its structure and composition. The crude EPS was subjected to scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM),transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Results of TEM analysis confirmed that the test organism is an EPS producer due to the presence of an unstained, clear cell wall or halo that surrounds the bacterial cell typical of a capsular EPS. SEM analysis showed that the crude EPS has pores and spaces between particles. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) at a concentration of 10μg per mL revealed spike-shaped lumps with an average size of 17.81±2.89nm. The FTIR spectrum suggested the presence of hydroxyl (OH) groups of carbohydrate and carbonyl group (C=O). Results showed that based on its structural characteristics, such EPS has the potential for use as stabilizer in food products.
