Abstract:
The effects of high-intensity ultrasound (20 kHz) at varying power pre-treatments (90, 120, 240, 360 and 480 W for 10 min) on foaming and structural properties of egg white were studied in this paper. The highest foaming ability (260.00%) was obtained after 360 W ultrasound treatment which was 4.9-fold to the control group. The lower viscosity and surface tension, and higher protein solubility indicated that the protein was easier to attach to the gas-liquid interface and generate molecular rearrangement. Moreover, the increased free sulfhydryl groups and surface hydrophobicity revealed that the protein adopted a loose structure after ultrasonic processing. SDS-PAGE data proved that subunit of poorly water-soluble ovomucin was declined. Scanning electron microscopy showed different microstructure with smaller aggregates and pore structure compared to non-treated egg white. These results presented more evidence of protein properties under ultrasonic environment, and broadened the application range of ultrasonic technique in food industry.

Structure and Physical Properties of Alkynes
In nature, compounds containing both carbon and hydrogen are known as "hydrocarbons". Aliphatic hydrocarbons are compounds whose molecules contain saturated single bonds (i.e., alkanes) or unsaturated double or triple bonds. Alkenes contain carbon–carbon double bonds and have a structural formula CnH2n. Unsaturated hydrocarbons containing carbon–carbon triple bonds are called "alkynes" and are structurally represented by the formula CnH2n-2.

Sound Intensity Level
The human ear can perceive an extensive range of sound intensity, necessitating the use of the logarithmic scale to define a physical quantity—the intensity level. It is a ratio of two intensities and...
Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...
