The effects of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma treatment on the physicochemical properties of potato starch and its films were studied. The results showed that the plasma species caused etching lead to small cracks and pores in potato starch particles and that oxidation, de-polymerization, and crosslinking were the main mechanisms underlying the effects of DBD plasma treatment. As the treatment time extended, starch hydrolysis, turbidity, syneresis, and gelatinization temperatures increased first and then decreased, whereas the solubility, swelling power, and water absorption significantly increased (P < 0.05). There was a decrease in the retrogradation tendency of the starch gels. The surfaces of the DBD plasma-modified potato starch-based films were relatively flat. After a 9-min treatment, the films exhibited the lowest water vapor permeability and highest tensile strength. In conclusion, the use of DBD plasma is a simple and green method to enhance the properties of potato starch and its film.

Modifying the Resistant Starch Content and the Retrogradation Characteristics of Potato Starch Through High-Dose Gamma Irradiation.

Gels

November 2024

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.

Compaction of sustained release coated pellets into multi-unit pellet system (MUPS) tablets has been associated with damage to the functional polymer layer, leading to a loss in desired sustained release function. Many filler materials and complex processes have been studied on their ability to mitigate compaction-induced pellet coat damage. Among these, native or unprocessed starches included in the filler material have not been explored well despite being a simple strategy.

Article Synopsis
  • Lily bulb rot disease has caused significant yield losses in edible lilies in China, necessitating a combination of morphological and molecular methods for diagnosis.
  • During the study, a specific strain causing rot was isolated from affected bulbs in Lanzhou, confirming its pathogenicity with 100% effectiveness in causing rot symptoms.
  • The pathogen was identified based on its distinct morphological features and genetic analysis, marking the first documented case of this disease affecting edible lilies in China and offering insights for developing better control strategies.

The aim of this study was to explore the effects of twin-screw extrusion combined with exogenous protein on interaction between starch and protein of the compound potato powder thereby contributing to better structural characterization and functional properties of whole potato flour lack of gluten. The results showed that the heat-moisture extrusion increased the relative crystallinity of starch. Meanwhile, the exogenous protein introduced (-SH) under the action of extrusion to form (-S-S-) in the compound system and furtherly promoted the construction of the network structure of the protein.

Improvement in film-forming properties of starch is critical for the wide application of environmentally friendly starch film. To enhance moisture barrier and mechanical properties of starch films, the formation of starch-lipid inclusion complex was promoted by partial debranching of starch and reaction at various temperature. The partially debranched potato starch was initially prepared with pullulanase, and the starch-lipid inclusion complex was subsequently produced with oleic acid at various reaction temperatures of 30, 50, and 70 °C.
