Oxidized starch (oxStarch) is a major derivative of starch. In present study, 4-acetamide-TEMPO system was firstly applied to prepare specifically oxidized starch, homogeneous 1,4-linked α-D-glucuronan. The impact of oxidant amount, 4-acetamide-TEMPO amount and reaction temperature on the properties of products were investigated. The product structures were characterized with H NMR for degree of oxidation (DO), SEC-MALS for MW, MS for analysis of oxidized oligosaccharides, and in-source fragmented MS for analysis of oxidized polysaccharides. The results showed that the DO of oxStarches increased, but their MWs decreased with the raise of oxidant amount; higher 4-acetamide-TEMPO amount provided higher efficiency of specific oxidation of starch, in which the product has higher DO and MW; no significant difference have been observed between the oxStarches oxidized at 4 and 25 °C, but significant degradation was observed at 50 °C. In each product, having a MW distribution, the portion with smaller size has higher DO. While some unspecific oxidation was still observed observed on the second hydroxyl groups of sugar ring in the following order of priority, position 3 > 2 > 1 > 0.

The preparation of food-grade oxidized starch with eco-friendly ozone (O) as oxidant is limited by low mass transfer and reaction efficiency. This study proposed a porous spontaneously polarized ceramic-reinforced O micro-nano bubbles (PSPC-OMNB) technology to prepare oxidized cassava starch (PSPC-OMCS). Meanwhile, reaction uniformity, physicochemical properties, and formation mechanisms were emphasized for comprehensive investigation.

Glioblastoma, characterized by rapid proliferation and invasiveness, is largely resistant to current treatment modalities. A major obstacle is the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which restricts the delivery of therapeutic agents as well as the infiltration of effective immune cells into glioblastoma. In this study, we developed an injectable oxidized high-amylose starch hydrogel (OHASM) to serve as a biomaterial scaffold for the delivery of macrophages and macrophage-polarizing drugs, aiming to bypass the BBB and enhance glioblastoma treatment.

The focus of this work was to evaluate the differences between the thermal and mechanical effects generated by ultrasound waves on the properties of corn starch, which facilitate the subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis for the generation of porous starches. The results showed that both the thermal and mechanical effects have the capacity to disorganize/alter the structure of starch, impacting on its properties. Characteristics such as particle size, pasting and thermal properties (peak viscosity 1400-1800 cp.
