Potato, cassava, sweet potato, banana and lentil starches were modified with citric acid (CA) with the main objective of enhancing the resistant starch (RS) and slowly digestible starch (SDS) fractions and to compare starches of diverse botanical origins. The percentage CA substitution of modified starches ranged from 3.84 to 15.06 and showed similar type of XRD patterns, but with variation in intensity and percentage crystallinity. The peaks around 1705 cm and 1150 cm in FT-IR spectra of modified starches confirmed the presence of CA group. Scanning electron microscopy confirmed that there were no noticeable changes in granular structure and morphology. No peaks could be observed in RVA pasting profiles of modified starches, confirming cross-linking reaction. The SDS and RS were significantly higher in modified starches of all origins and consequently there was a lower estimated glyceamic index (EGI). Modified starches were associated with lower setback viscosity indicating their lower temperature stability.

Egg sausages, an essential component of traditional Chinese hot pot cuisine, have specific storage requirements and are predominantly distributed through refrigerated channels. A significant consideration in the freezing of egg sausages pertains to syneresis and textural modifications that manifest in the protein gel structure upon thawing. This research investigated the efficacy of incorporating whey protein isolate, soy protein isolate (at concentrations of 0.

State Key Laboratory of Rice Biology, Key Laboratory of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs for Nuclear-Agricultural Sciences, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China.

Potato starch is widely utilized in the food industry. Gamma irradiation is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly method for starch modification. Nevertheless, there is a scarcity of comprehensive and consistent knowledge regarding the physicochemical characteristics of high-dose gamma-irradiated potato starch, retrogradation properties in particular.

Insufficient hydrophobicity and mechanical properties pose significant challenges in the development of starch-based degradable films. This study prepared modified (crosslinked, acetylated, and crosslinked & acetylated) cassava starch films, and different concentrations of strengthening agents (polyvinyl alcohol, sodium alginate, gelatin, and hyaluronic acid) were added to produce modified starch composite films. The physical properties, structure characteristics, and degradability of these films were systematically evaluated.

Cryogel Addition Effect on Ultrasound-Assisted Thawing of Pork Meat.

Laboratory 13 Thermal and Structural Analysis of Materials and Foods, Multidisciplinary Research Unit, National Autonomous University of Mexico-Superior Studies Faculty at Cuautitlan (UNAM-FESC), Cuautitlan Izcalli, Mexico State, Mexico.

The use of new technologies that allow for improving conventional food preservation processes is what the industry has been adopting in recent decades, with high-intensity ultrasound (US) and the application of cryoprotectant agents (cryogels) being those that have become more relevant today. For this reason, in this study, cuts of pork frozen in liquid nitrogen with and without waxy starch cryogel and thawed under controlled conditions in water immersion and with US were used, evaluating thermal parameters such as the initial zone and the melting rate of ice crystals and quality parameters such as pH, water holding capacity (WHC), microstructure, color profile, shear force, and surface changes. It was shown that the addition of cryogel modifies the initial fusion zone, that US-assisted thawing increases the fusion rate, and that both factors influence the quality parameters.

Resistant starch grafted cerium-sulfasalazine infinite coordination polymers synergistically remold intestinal metabolic microenvironment for inflammatory bowel disease therapy.

Henan Key Laboratory of Nanocomposite and Applications, Institute of Nanostructured Functional Materials, Huanghe Science and Technology College, Zhengzhou, 450006, Henan, China.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic gastrointestinal disease which is closely related with the overproduced reactive oxygen species (ROS), increased pro-inflammatory cytokines and disordered intestinal microbes. However, current therapeutic methods usually ignored the interrelation among the pathogenesis, and mainly focused on a single factor, inducing clinical outcomes unsatisfied. Herein, biocompatible infinite coordination polymers of drugs (Ce-SASP-RS ICPs) composed of Ce ions, FDA-approved drug sulfasalazine (SASP) and natural ingredient resistant starch (RS) were developed for synergistic treatment of IBD.
