Aqueous dispersions of normal and high-amylose corn starch were steam jet cooked and blended with aqueous solutions of sodium palmitate to give starch containing amylose-sodium palmitate inclusion complexes. Partial conversion of complexed sodium palmitate to palmitic acid by addition of acetic acid led to the formation of gels. Blends of inclusion complexes prepared from normal and high-amylose corn starch were used to vary the amylose:amylopectin ratio of the gels, and the linear viscoelastic moduli were found to decrease with decreasing amylose:amylopectin ratio. Precipitation of the complexed starch at low pH showed that most of the amylopectin was not part of the gel network. The elastic modulus of the gels was shown to decrease sharply between 74 and 85 °C, and the transition temperature increased strongly with decreasing amylose:amylopectin ratio.

To find out whether dietary amylose/ amylopectin ratio (DAR) could attenuate injury in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-challenged piglets, sixty male weaned piglets (Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire, 21 days old, 6.51 ± 0.64 kg) were allotted to 5 dietary treatments with 12 cages per treatment, and fed ad libitum with diets different in DAR (0.

Improving the synchrony between amino acids (AAs) and glucose appearance in the blood can support the growth performance of weaned pigs fed a low crude protein (CP) diet. This can be achieved using a diet with a low amylose-to-amylopectin ratio (AM/AP). The aim of this experiment was to evaluate whether reducing the AM/AP by using a corn variety characterized by a high amylopectin content, in the weaning diet can sustain growth performance and improve the intestinal health of pigs fed a low-CP diet.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the effects of selenium (Se) and silica (Si) on rice plants under arsenic (As) stress, focusing on As accumulation in grains and potential cancer risks.
- A total of 58 metabolites were identified; arsenic exposure significantly reduced certain sugars while some antioxidant-related sugars increased, but the addition of Se and Si improved sugar levels compared to As exposure alone.
- The outcomes suggest that using Se with Si not only enhances the nutritional profile of rice but also drastically reduces arsenic accumulation, potentially lowering cancer risk for consumers.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed a new method for creating porous starch (PS) with controllable pore sizes using ultrasound-ethanol precipitation and varying ratios of amylose and amylopectin.
- The study found that higher amylose content leads to smaller pore volume and diameter, indicating a negative correlation between amylose and pore size.
- Results demonstrate that ethanol evaporation and water migration during drying were key to forming these pores, and the novel PS shows stable thermodynamic properties, potentially aiding future PS research.
