As shown in Figure 3A, the hydrophobicity index of grass carp muscle protein reached to 20416 at the 4th day from 11751 for fresh sample, undergoing a remarkable increase of (P<0.05), which might be due to exposure of hydrophobic groups caused by protein denaturation or degradation.
The narrative review aims to outline the research done on refinement of wettability and reduced hydrophobicity of the VPS impression material, the effect of addition of surfactants, the outcome of surface tension and the use of radio frequency glow discharge (plasma treatment) and the result of disinfectant on the hydrophilicity and wettability of the material.
Smaller peptides are known for their lower efficiency in stabilizing emulsions because they may not readily agglomerate to produce a fat globule membrane due to the charge repulsions and surface hydrophobicity [43, 44].
In this study, the drip loss of samples corresponded with the reduction in hydrophobicity (Figure 2).
