Phosphate derivatives contain a high number of reactive groups that interact functionally with various polymers. Tetrasodium pyrophosphate (Na₄P₂O₇), sodium tripolyphosphate (Na₅P₃O₁₀), and sodium hexametaphosphate (Na₆(PO₃)₆) were incorporated into bioplastic polybutylene-adipate-terephthalate (PBAT) blended with thermoplastic cassava starch (TPS) in blown films. Their physicochemical, morphological, thermal, and antimicrobial properties were investigated.

Extrusion processing of plasticized cassava starch, a prominent industrial crop, with chemical additives offers a thermo-mechanical approach to modify starch structures through physical and chemical interactions. This research investigates the interaction and morphology of thermoplastic cassava starch (TPS) blended with tetrasodium pyrophosphate (NaPO), sodium tripolyphosphate (NaPO), sodium hexametaphosphate (Na(PO)), sodium erythorbate (CHONa), and sodium nitrite (NaNO) via twin-screw extrusion. The effects of these additives on the chemical structure, thermal profile, water absorption, and solubility of the TPS were examined.

Terpenes constitute the largest class of natural products. Their skeletons are formed by terpene cyclases (TCs) from acyclic oligoprenyl diphosphates through sophisticated enzymatic conversions. These enzyme reactions start with substrate ionization through diphosphate abstraction, followed by a cascade reaction via cationic intermediates.

Background: Co-extrusion of ferric pyrophosphate (FePP) with solubilizers, citric acid/trisodium citrate (CA/TSC), or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) sharply increases iron absorption. Whether this can protect against the inhibition of iron absorption by phytic acid (PA) is unclear. Sodium pyrophosphate (NaPP) may be a new enhancer of iron absorption from FePP.

Context: Previous reviews have focused on evaluating the efficacy and effectiveness of rice fortification, despite the need to also understand the outcomes of micronutrient retention, organoleptic properties, and acceptability to inform nutrition programs.
Objective: This systematic review aims to consolidate existing evidence on micronutrient retention, organoleptic properties, and acceptability of fortified rice.
Data Sources: Eligible articles were identified from 22 electronic databases and personal referrals and reviews.
