The formation of resistant starch type 5 (RS5), primarily associated with amylose-lipid complexes, is typically attributed to starches with high-amylose content due to their affinity for lipid interactions. Recently, studies have also investigated the potential of amylopectin-rich starches to form amylopectin-lipid complexes (ALCs), expanding RS5 sources. This study explores the capacity of waxy corn starch (WS), which is rich in amylopectin, to develop ALCs with oleic acid (10% /) under different thermal and mechanical conditions.

Mango bagasse (MB) is a (poly)phenols and fiber (DF)-rich agroindustrial by-product exhibiting health-beneficial properties. This research aimed to design and characterize an MB-added confection and evaluate its prebiotic effect in vitro. A sensory analysis involving 51 children was conducted to select the most accepted formulation.

The poor disposal and lack of utilization of corn cob (CC) and corn silk (CS) generate environmental problems. This research aimed to develop CC and CS-based ingredients (1 : 1, 1 : 2, and 2 : 1 mixtures) and evaluate the gastrointestinal bioaccessibility of selected polyphenols and their anti-inflammatory effect. (+)-Catechin, gallic acid, and -coumaric acid were detected (HPLC-DAD) at all digestion stages and are the major contributors to the observed antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects .

Moringa oleifera leaves have high nutrient valor, physicochemical, and nutraceutical properties and can be used as ingredients to develop wheat-free enrich. The aim was to evaluate nutritional, chemical, and nutraceutical characterization, antioxidant capacity, along physicochemical parameters to develop four oat bread using yeast (PL), xanthan gum (PG), and 2.5% (M2) or 5.
