Preparation and physiochemical properties of enzymatically modified octenyl succinate starch.

The high viscosity and low solubility of octenyl succinate starch (OSAS) in water often lead to low reaction efficiency and uneven distribution of OSA groups, which can be solved by subjecting OSA starch to enzymatic digestion. Waxy corn starch is used to produce OSAS. The molecular weight of enzymolysis modified octenyl succinate starches (E-OSAS) decreased with the addition of enzyme, and the substitution of enzymatically digested OSAS was larger than that of OSAS.

Preparation and evaluation of mushroom () and mealworm () as dog food attractant.

Chicken liver is a main protein source to prepare attractant for dog food. However, animal proteins are costly. Seeking high quality and low-cost protein sources has been a goal for the industry.

Quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) of aroma compounds in different aged Huangjiu.

Huangjiu is a traditional wine in China with special taste and flavor. However, changes of aroma compounds during storage of Huangjiu remain unclear. In this study, aroma compounds in Jinse Nianhua Huangjiu of three different storage ages were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed via headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

Emulsion-based delivery systems for curcumin: Encapsulation and interaction mechanism between debranched starch and curcumin.

Curcumin has been widely recognized as health-promoting compound. However, the intrinsic hydrophobicity, chemical instability and photodegradation limits its applications in foods. In this study, a novel emulsion was developed to encapsulate curcumin using debranched starch (DBS).

The antioxidant and tyrosinase inhibition properties of essential oil from the peel of Chinese Fort.

The antioxidant and tyrosinase inhibition properties of essential oil from the peel of Chinese Fort. (CTGF oil) were investigated. The antioxidant properties of CTGF oil were evaluated 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging tests, and it showed an IC value of 0.

Structural Characterization and Digestibility of Curcumin Loaded Octenyl Succinic Nanoparticles.

Curcumin displays anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory and anti-obesity properties but its water insolubility limits the wholesome utility. In this study, curcumin has been encapsulated in an amphiphilic biopolymer to enhance its water solubility. This was accomplished through self-assembly of octenyl succinic anhydride-short glucan chains (OSA-SGC) and curcumin.
