In this work, two environmentally friendly modification methods, UV irradiation and thermal treatment, were applied for the first time for modifications of oat and barley starches. Their impacts on starch properties were compared with those observed for starch oxidation with NaClO. XRD, EPR, FTIR, SEM and SEC methods were used to characterize the effects of modifications on starch structures. The decreases in molecular weight and crystallinity degree showed the destruction of starch structures upon prolonged UV irradiation and thermal treatment, more advanced in barley starch. The process of radical formation, studied by EPR, occurring to a larger extent in this starch, confirmed lower stability of barley starch structure. The alterations of starch structures correlated well with changes in its functional properties. It was found that UV irradiation was an effective oxidizing agent, whereas heating led mainly to the depolymerization of starch chains.

Effects of air flow micro pulverized wheat bran dietary fiber on physicochemical, structural, and digestive properties of wheat starch.

The effects of wheat bran dietary fiber (WBDF) treated by air flow micro-pulverization on gelatinization, thermal, rheological, structural properties, and in vitro digestion of wheat starch (WS) were investigated. Different particle sizes of WBDF were obtained by conventional knife grinding and airflow micro-grinding. Compared with conventional knife grinding, the particle size of WBDF treated by air flow micro-pulverization decreased, the particle size distribution was concentrated at small particle sizes, the specific surface area increased, and the hydraulic and oil-holding power decreased, which was mainly related to the change of WBDF spatial structure and the increase of solubility.

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.

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.

Static magnetic field (SMF), an innovative and eco-friendly technology, has attracted widespread attention in the field of modified starch physicochemical properties. This study aimed to investigate the effects of SMF treatment on the structural and digestive properties of germinated corn (GC) starch. In vitro digestibility examination of GC starch revealed that SMF treatment (30 mT, 2 h) led to a 12.

The study investigates the composition and properties of unpopped and expanded popcorn, analyzing monosaccharides, protein, amylose, polyphenols, physical traits, crystallinity, and in vitro digestion. Unpopped grains had high glucose content (mainly from starch), which decreased by 20 % in expanded popcorn, especially in black and red A samples. Expanded grains showed higher protein levels (up to 15 %), particularly in red B and yellow samples.
