However, precisely because of its well-established Party presence and its relative security from Japanese attack, the Shen-Kan-Ning Border Region set the pattern of government for all of the liberated areas.

Aquafaba was recovered from 10 commercial canned chickpea products and correlations among aquafaba composition, density, viscosity and foaming properties were investigated. Proton NMR was used to characterize aquafaba composition before and after ultrafiltration through membranes with different molecular weight cut offs (MWCOs of 3, 10, or 50 kDa).
