Barley flour and barley flour-pomace (tomato, grape) blends were extruded through a co-rotating twin-screw extruder. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of die temperature, screw speed, and pomace level on water absorption index (WAI), water solubility index (WSI), degree of starch gelatinization, and in vitro starch digestibility using a response surface methodology. The selected extrudate samples were examined further using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarized light microscopy, respectively. The WAI of barley-pomace extrudates was affected by increasing pomace level. Temperature had significant effect on all types of extrudate but screw speed had significant linear effect only on barley and barley-grape pomace extrudates on degree of starch gelatinization. Although no gelatinization peak was detected, an endotherm was observed on all selected extrudates. In general, extrusion cooking significantly increased in vitro starch digestibility of extrudates. However, increasing level of both tomato and grape pomace led to reduction in starch digestibility.

The present opinion deals with the re-evaluation of pullulan (E 1204) when used as a food additive and with the new application on the extension of use to several food categories. Pullulan (E 1204) is obtained by fermentation of a food-grade hydrolysed starch with non-genetically modified ■■■■■. Based on the available information, the Panel considered that the manufacturing process of pullulan (E 1204) using this microorganism does not raise a safety concern.

Objective: Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is a major surgical intervention that encompasses the resection of multiple organs and the reconstruction of the digestive tract, with reconstructive procedures including pancreatico-enteric, bilioenteric, and gastroenteric anastomoses. Prior research has documented a high incidence of long-term complications following PD, which significantly impact patient prognosis and survival, however, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Evidence from previous studies suggests that biliary-intestinal anastomosis modifies biliary tract anatomy, altering bile flow into the gut and potentially affecting the gut microbiota and its metabolites.

Background: Microencapsulation improves the storage, handling, and administration of probiotics by protecting them from environmental factors and adverse conditions in the gastrointestinal tract. This process facilitates their controlled delivery in the body, which can simplify their use in therapies without compromising their therapeutic efficacy.
Objectives: This study investigates the microencapsulation of LM-20, its probiotic properties, and its effects in a murine model of ulcerative colitis.

Starch digestibility and the content of resistant starch (RS) play a crucial role in human health, particularly in relation to glycemic responses, insulin sensitivity, fat oxidation, and satiety. This study investigates the impact of processing methods on potato starch digestibility and RS content, focusing on two modification techniques: autoclaving and high hydrostatic pressure (HHP), followed by retrogradation at different temperatures. The research employs a comprehensive approach to characterize structural changes in starch samples using X-ray diffraction (XRD), attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

This research recovered bioactive compounds from black gram husk (BGH, a by-product of sprout processing) using different ethanol concentrations and maceration times. Based on the results, the highest phenolic and saponin contents were recovered using an 80% ethanolic solution for 3 h, with the extract having both antioxidant and starch digestive enzyme inhibition effects. The major bioactive compounds present in the extract were gallic acid, gentisic acid, ferulic acid, and vitexin.
