Abstract
Biopolymeric microgels have attracted considerable interest in the food and pharmaceutical sectors due to their tunable physicochemical properties. This study presents a simple and efficient method for producing microgels with consistent characteristics in terms of the density, particle size, and morphological uniformity. Microgels were generated by spraying ionic polysaccharide solutions using a hand-held atomizer directly into a calcium ion-containing buffer, eliminating the need for additional thermal or mechanical processing. To validate the reproducibility and tunability of this method, pectin-based microgels were prepared under varying conditions, including the degree of methylation and amidation of pectin, cross-linker concentration, and pH. The microgels exhibited high batch-to-batch consistency across all preparation conditions. Overall, the proposed spray-gelation approach offers a robust platform for the reproducible fabrication of pectin microgels and serves as a reference for a broader application to other ionic polysaccharides.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
