This study investigated the properties of a novel medicinal starch isolated from the roots of Trichosanthes kirilowii (TKRS). The multiscale structural and physicochemical properties of TKRS were characterized and compared with two common starches, sweet potato starch (SPS) and kudzu starch (KS), to elucidate the influence of structural characteristics on the physicochemical properties of these root starches. TKRS granules exhibited elliptical and irregular polygonal shapes, with the largest median particle size (14.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study focuses on understanding how the structure and digestibility of waxy rice starch from Indica and Japonica varieties change during digestion, using in vitro models to analyze their properties over different time periods of digestion.
  • - Results show that pre-digestion alters the starch's composition, with a decrease in amylose and changes in the distribution of amylopectin chains, leading to increased structural order and crystallinity in the starch.
  • - Pre-digested waxy rice starch has lower rapidly digestible starch but higher resistant starch, indicating potential for use in healthier food products and functional starch applications.

Soybean protein isolate (SPI) was frequently used to make edible films due to its highly degradability and excellent film forming ability. However, the limited barrier properties and low tensile strength of SPI films prevent their application in food packaging. In this study, the SPI film was modified by blending camellia oil body-based oleogel (COBO).

Radix Cynanchi bungei (RCb) contains 40-70 % starch, yet little is known about the structure and properties of RCb starch. In this study, the multiscale structure of two cultivars of RCb starch (YW201501 and BW201001) were characterized, and the effects of starch structure on its physicochemical properties were investigated. The differences in physicochemical properties of RCb starch were influenced by its multiscale structure.
