Due to the unique properties of nanoparticles (NPs), their application has been proposed as an innovative and promising enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technique. They enhance oil recovery by improving EOR mechanisms including decreasing interfacial tension (IFT), wettability alteration to water-wet, and preventing asphaltene precipitation. In this study, FeO@Gelatin NPs were synthesized by a convenient and single-step method and then investigated for EOR purposes for the first time.

In this study, type-3 resistant starch (RS) with enhanced thermal stability and excellent short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production was obtained through the butyrylation and subsequent recrystallization at 4 °C of high-amylose maize starch (HAMS). We comprehensively examined and contrasted the structural attributes and in vitro human fecal fermentation behavior of butyrylated RS (BRS) with varying degrees of substitution. Fourier-transform infrared analysis validated the successful integration of carbonyl groups into the starch matrix.

Rice (Oryza sativa) is a vital food crop and staple diet for most of the world's population. Poor dietary choices have had a significant role in the development of type-2 diabetes in the population that relies on rice and rice-starch-based foods. Hence, our study investigated the in vitro digestion and glycemic indices of certain indigenous rice cultivars and the factors influencing these indices.

The management of diabetic wounds faces significant challenges due to the excessive activation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), dysregulation of the inflammatory response, and impaired angiogenesis. A substantial body of evidence suggests that the aforementioned diverse factors contributing to the delayed healing of diabetic wounds may be associated with impaired autophagy. Impaired autophagy leads to endothelial and fibroblast dysfunction and impedes macrophage phenotypic transformation.

This study investigated the dynamic changes in legume starches (common vetch, mung bean, and pea) during gelatinization. All three starches displayed a similar pattern: water absorption and swelling at lower temperatures (50-65 °C), structural rupture at medium temperatures (65-75 °C), and melting/reorganization at higher temperatures (75-90 °C). Gelatinization likely starts with internal structural dissociation, as evidenced by the weakening of the double helix structure and decreasing order observed throughout the process.
