Increasing demand and considerable attention to the non-conventional sources of starches leads to explore new sources. Starches of Dioscorea (Da1 and Da2) from Jharkhand, North Eastern region of India have been studied for its physicochemical properties. An attempt has been made to study the carboxymethylated derivatives of starches from two varieties of Dioscorea of this region. Different concentration of monochloroacetate was used to study the effect of degree of substitution (DS) on the physicochemical properties of starches. A considerable effect of DS was noticed on the ash content, amylose content, water-holding capacity, swelling and solubility power of carboxymethylated derivatives. Morphological studies showed the increase in the deformation of structure of the starch granule with an increase in the degree of substitution. FTIR confirmed the carboxymethylation reaction. TGA data of carboxymethylated starches revealed the stability to the temperature. Micromeritics of starch powder and granules showed the value which makes these starches to be utilized as an excipient. With the increase in DS, the % release of drug was found to be decreased. This further makes the carboxymethyl derivatives of Dioscorea a good source to be used as an excipient for sustained release formulations.

This study was aimed at investigating the effect of carboxymethyl freeze-thawed tapioca starch (CM-FTS) in the batter wrapped ham sausages (CM-FTS-BHS) on the oil qualities following deep-frying cycles compared with tapioca starch, freeze-thawed tapioca starch, and carboxymethyl tapioca starch. As the deep-frying cycles increased, the degree of all oil deterioration continued to increase. Analysis of oxidation, acid values, carbonyl values, conjugated diene/triene content and low-field magnetic resonance revealed that adding CM-FTS to batter was more conducive to reducing the formation of oil deterioration products than other samples.

Pomegranate peel polyphenols (PPP) are natural compounds known for their various biological activities; however, they are easily degraded by environmental conditions, leading to a reduction in their biological activity and health benefits. Therefore, improving the stability of PPP is a critical question that needs to be addressed. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of five common microcapsule wall materials-carboxymethyl cellulose sodium (CMCNa), sodium alginate (SA), gum Arabic (GA), beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD), and hydroxypropyl starch (HPS)-in encapsulating PPP to enhance its stability and antioxidant activity.

Starch-based bio plastics, due to their abundance, recyclability, and biodegradability, offer a promising alternative to conventional petrochemical-based plastics. Additives significantly influences the functionality of bioplastics. This study investigates the effects of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) at varying concentrations on banana starch-based bioplastic films, using glycerol as a plasticizer.

Bacteriophages (phages) have a great potential to target specifically foodborne bacterial pathogens, particularly in packaging materials. However, incorporating phages into packaging surfaces requires stabilizing their structure and maintaining their infectivity during the papermaking process. In this study, several coating formulations containing various ratios of carboxymethyl cellulose, cationic starch, and glycerol were applied to a base paper to assess phage stability.
