Paradigm 2: pouch: Au NPs + SF volume (10 W, 30 s time
intervals).
Summary of data collected from three different paradigm 2 experiments.
Percentage change in the surface area (%) of l-alanine crystals
in a plastic pouch during 120 s (at 30 s time intervals) of microwave
heating at 10 W. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation
of the three different experiments. Table shows the 15 experimental
groups used in this study: 1–3 (A) 10 μL of Au NPs (10,
50, or 100 μL of SF), 4–6 (B) 50 μL of Au NPs (10,
50, or 100 μL of SF), and 7–15 (C) 100 μL of Au
NPs (10, 50, or 100 μL of SF).
