Yam starch films, formulated with yam starch (4.00 g/100 g of solution) and glycerol (1.30 and 2.00 g/100 g of solution) in filmogenic solution, were employed as packaging to extend storage life of strawberries stored at 4 degrees C and 85% RH. The effects of yam starch films on fruits were compared to the effect of PVC (poly(vinyl chloride)) packaging. Starch and PVC films significantly reduced decay of the fruits compared to control. Compared to starch films, PVC presented the better behavior on weight and firmness retention of fruits, especially in the last 7 days of storage. Considering microbiological counts, the shelf life of control fruits was 14 days, and of all packaged samples, stored at same conditions, was 21 days. Two different formulations of yam starch film were tested and had different mechanical properties as a function of glycerol content (1.30 and 2.00 g/100 g of solution) but showed no difference when employed as strawberries packaging.

Effect of Yam Flour Modified with Plasma-Activated Water Combined with Extrusion Treatment on the Quality of Chinese Noodles.

Yam noodles were produced by replacing high-gluten wheat flour with yam flour modified with plasma-activated water and twin-screw extrusion (PAW-TSE). The effects of varying amounts of modified yam flour on the color, cooking characteristics, texture, and in vitro digestibility of the noodles were investigated. As the amount of modified yam flour increased, the noodles became darker in color, while the bound water content increased, and the free water content decreased.

This study investigated the interaction between yam starch (YS) and soy protein isolate hydrolysate (SPH), and their effects on in vitro digestibility of starch through extrusion treatment. Results indicated that SPH with 6 % hydrolysis degree had the lowest relative molecular mass. X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy revealed an increase in the relative crystallinity of extruded yam starch (EYS) from 17.

Starch pearls are widely used in bubble tea and desserts, yet the mechanistic understanding of the formation process of their textural properties remain unclear. To investigate the relationship between the multi-scale structure of starch and the textural properties of starch pearls, analyses of fine structure, crystal structure, rheological behavior, and textural profiling were conducted. The results showed that starch gels with a higher content of short-chain amylose (100 < X ≤ 1000) exhibited weaker formability during starch pearl preparation, leading to a lower flow behavior index (n*).

Nine CYRS-FA complexes were prepared by resistant starch in Chinese yam (CYRS) and nine fatty acids (FAs) with different chain lengths and degrees of unsaturation. CYRS-myristic acid and CYRS-palmitic acid showed higher complexing index (CI) and relative crystallinity (RC); CYRS-myristic acid and CYRS-oleic acid exhibited lower estimated glycemic index (eGI). Chain lengths of FAs showed significantly positive correlations with CI and contact angle (CA), and yet, unsaturation degree of FAs was negative correlated with both CI and CA.

Biodegradable films are sustainable alternatives to conventional plastics, particularly in food preservation, where the barrier and mechanical properties are crucial for maintaining the physicochemical, microbiological, and sensory qualities of the product. This study evaluated films made from starches of corn, potato, cassava, yam, and wheat to determine their effectiveness in preserving cherry tomatoes. Amylose content, a key factor influencing the crystallinity and properties of the films, varied among the sources, with wheat starch having the highest (28.
