Insight into Oil-in-Water Emulsions Stabilized by Cross-Linked and Pregelatinized Starches: The Effect of Molecular Structure, Surface Activity and Proton Molecular Dynamics.

Effective formation and stabilisation of emulsions while meeting high consumer requirements, including the so-called green label, is still a technological challenge. This is related to the multitude of emulsion destabilization mechanisms and the vastness of methods used to study them, which implies the need to develop an understanding of the phenomena occurring in emulsions. Commercial starch preparations obtained by physical and chemical modification were used to prepare model emulsions that were studied in terms of their stability.

Insight into Rheological Properties and Structure of Native Waxy Starches: Cluster Analysis Grouping.

Recent interest in the use of waxy starches in food production is due to the possibility of replacing chemically modified starches as texture-forming agents with native starch analogues. However, there is a lack of a coherent research comparing different varieties of commercially available waxy starches with respect to their molecular and functional properties. Therefore, the objective of this study was to compare native waxy starches from potatoes, corn, and rice, with particular attention to rheological characteristics in relation to molecular structure.

Bioactive Substances of Potato Juice Reveal Synergy in Cytotoxic Activity against Cancer Cells of Digestive System Studied .

More and more literature data indicate the health-promoting effect of potato juice (PJ). However, to date, it has not been precisely explained which of the many compounds present in PJ exhibit biological activity. The work aimed to establish the antiproliferative effect of gastrointestinal digested PJ and the products of its processing.

Chemical Modifications of Normal and Waxy Potato Starches Affect Functional Properties of Aerogels.

Aerogels are of increasing interest because of their exceptionally large surface area, porous structure, and low weight. Despite the significant increase in interest in the subject of starch-based aerogels, the number of detailed studies is rather scarce, which is especially evident in the case of chemically modified derivatives. Therefore, the study aims to evaluate the physicochemical properties of aerogels from chemically modified potato starch preparations (E 1422 and E 1450) obtained both from normal and waxy starches.

Delving into the Therapeutic Potential of Leaf against Thrombocytopenia.

Thrombocytopenia is a clinical manifestation that refers to the low platelet count, i.e., <150 × 103/μL, of blood, resulting in imbalanced hemostasis, which leads to several fatal complications.
