Functional categorisation of dietary fibre in foods: Beyond 'soluble’ vs ‘insoluble’ (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 Elsevier Ltd Background: Diets rich in dietary fibre are associated with multiple health benefits, but there is often only a restricted understanding of the mechanisms underlying these associations. This limits the ability to select or design... Read More about Functional categorisation of dietary fibre in foods: Beyond 'soluble’ vs ‘insoluble’.

Enhancing Robusta coffee aroma by modifying flavour precursors in the green coffee bean (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 Elsevier Ltd This study attempted to improve Robusta sensory properties by modifying the beans chemical composition.

Draught beer hygiene: a survey of on-trade quality (2018)
Journal Article

The quality of draught beer in 57 on-trade licensed premises in 10 locations in the UK Midlands was assessed using a forcing test. Of 149 samples of standard lager (‘SL’, abv ≤ 4.2%), 44% were in the ‘excellent’ quality band compared to 16% of 88 sa... Read More about Draught beer hygiene: a survey of on-trade quality.

Journal Article

© 2018 Elsevier Ltd The structures of two hydrogels formed by purified brush-like polysaccharides from Plantago ovata seed mucilage have been characterised from the nanometre to micrometre scale by using a combination of SANS and USANS techniques. Th... Read More about Multi-scale assembly of hydrogels formed by highly branched arabinoxylans from Plantago ovata seed mucilage studied by USANS/SANS and rheology.

Triply Loaded Nitroxide Brush-Arm Star Polymers Enable Metal-Free Millimetric Tumor Detection by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 American Chemical Society. Nitroxides occupy a privileged position among plausible metal-free magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents (CAs) due to their inherently low-toxicity profiles; nevertheless, their translational development h...

Insulin-Like Peptide 3 (INSL3) (2018)
Book Chapter

© 2019 Elsevier Inc. Insulin-like peptide 3 (INSL3) is a major secretory product of the steroidogenic Leydig cells of the testes in the fetus as well as in the adult. It is a constitutive product of the mature Leydig cells and hence acts as an excell... Read More about Insulin-Like Peptide 3 (INSL3).

Bacteriophage ZCKP1: a potential treatment for Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from diabetic foot patients (2018)
Journal Article

The recorded growth in infection by multidrug resistant bacteria necessitates prompt efforts towards developing alternatives to antibiotics, such as bacteriophage therapy. Immuno-compromised patients with diabetes mellitus are particularly prone to f...

The discovery of hydrogen bonds in DNA and a re-evaluation of the 1948 Creeth two-chain model for its structure (2018)
Journal Article

We recall the experimental approaches involved in the discovery of hydrogen bonds in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) made 70 years ago by a team of scientists at University College Nottingham led by J.M. Gulland, and in relation to previous studies. This... Read More about The discovery of hydrogen bonds in DNA and a re-evaluation of the 1948 Creeth two-chain model for its structure.

A non-invasive measurement of tongue surface temperature (2018)
Journal Article

Oral temperature, tongue specifically, is a key factor affecting oral sensation and perception of food flavour and texture. It is therefore very important to know how the tongue temperature is affected by food consumption. Unfortunately, traditional...
