This study synthesized blended lead zirconate (PbZrO3;PZ)/poly(ethylene oxide)(PEO)/Glutinous rice starch (GRS) nanofibers by the electrospinning method. A number of parameters such as the ratio between PEO and GRS and calcination temperature have been studied. The as-spun PZ/PEO/GRS composite and PZ fibers were characterized by TG-DTA, X-ray diffraction, FT-IR and SEM, respectively. SEM results showed that smooth and continuous fibers were obtained at the volume ratio of 10:2:1, PZ/PEO/GRS. After calcination of the as-spun PZ/PEO/GRS composite nanofibers at 650 degrees C for 4 h, PZ nanofibers with perovskite structure were obtained successfully. The fibers had a uniform and smooth surface without grain boundaries. However, when the calcination temperature increased to 750 degrees C and 850 degrees C, the fiber represented a necklace-like structure with grain boundaries arranged by grain to grain unit cell clusters.

Article Synopsis
- Black rice, known for its rich nutritional profile, has been historically cultivated in Asia, particularly China, but struggles with low production and consumption due to subpar cooking and eating quality.
- Researchers explored the use of the Rice Taste Evaluation System (RTES) to effectively assess these qualities, testing 775 samples from various accessions.
- The study found a strong correlation between RTES results and sensory evaluation scores, suggesting that RTES is a reliable tool for evaluating the cooking and eating quality of black rice, which could aid in breeding and other applications.

Article Synopsis
- Research has focused on using natural plant materials, like gallic acid (GA), to influence post-meal blood sugar levels by forming complexes with amylose in starch, leading to resistant starch.
- The study compared the properties of normal rice starch and rice starch-GA composites processed through high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) and thermal treatments, noting significant structural changes during digestion.
- The HHP processing resulted in unique gel structures and a marked increase in resistant starch, indicating that HHP might be an effective method for creating starch-based foods with better digestion profiles.

The in vitro model is widely preferred for digestion research due to its simplicity, reproducibility, and ethical advantages. However, the differences between in vivo and in vitro digestion present challenges. This study first developed an in vitro oral processing system to explore the influence of saliva volume and chewing time on the physicochemical properties of japonica rice (JR), indica rice (IR), and waxy rice (WR).

It is meaningful to explore the addition of additives and the structural characteristics of water on the quality of rice noodles. Herein, the effects of the addition of cassava starch and the size of water clusters on physicochemical and cooking properties of rice noodles were systematically studied. The addition of 25 % cassava starch effectively enhanced the swelling performance and textural properties of rice noodles.
