Diarylmethylenated and cholestene (or -tane)-hybrid analogues of the GFP chromophore, namely, Ch-DAINs were successfully synthesised by a condensation reaction between methyl imidates and N-(diarylmethylene)glycinates. Among the Ch-DAINs synthesised, a diphenyl-type analogue showed viscosity-dependent and cholesterol-responsive fluorescent properties. It showed a

We prepared emulsion-filled gels stabilized using octenyl succinic anhydride-modified and pregelatinized maize starch (OSA-PGS). The effect of the oil volume fraction (Φ, 0.05-0.20) and OSA-PGS concentration (3-10% w/v) on the rheological and microstructural properties of the emulsion-filled gels was evaluated.
