The objective of this study was to investigate morphology, molecular crystalline structure, and digestibility of debranched mung bean starches with or without microwave treatment and retrogradation at different temperature. The mung bean starch was firstly debranched with pullulanase, and then the debranched starch containing 20% moisture content was treated by microwave irradiation for 3 min with or without further retrograded at +25, +4, or -18 °C for 24 h. All treated starches exhibited the B + V-type crystalline polymorph as determined by the XRD and the CNMR. The FT-IR results showed that the debranched starches had lower degree of order but higher degree of double helix than those of the native starch. The microwave treatment or further recrystallization of the debranched starch for more 24 h significantly improved crystalline structure of starch granules with higher degree of relative crystallinity, degree of order, and degree of double helices. The resistant starch content of the treated starch was in a range of 39.7-52.8%, significantly higher than that of the native starch (15.6%). As a result, the microwave-assisted debranched starch with further crystallization for 24 h was found to have highly ordered structure of granules, which highly resisted to the enzyme digestion.

Background: Integrating natural enzymes and nanomaterials exhibiting tailored enzyme-like activities is an effective strategy for the application of cascade reactions. It is essential to develop a highly efficient and robust glucose oxidase-catalase (GOx-CAT) cascade system featuring controllable enzyme activity, a reliable supply of oxygen, and improved stability for glucose depletion in cancer starvation therapy. However, the ambiguous relationship between structure and performance, and the difficulty in controlling enzyme-mimic activity, significantly hinder their broader application.

The synthesis of starch grafted with poly (hexafluorobutyl methacrylate) (PHFBMA) was achieved using the horseradish peroxidase (HRP)/acetophenone (ACAC) green initiating system. The modified starch was characterized through FT-IR, F NMR, XPS and EDS to confirm the successful grafting of PHFBMA onto starch backbone. The SEM analysis revealed that the introduction of PHFBMA led to a partial disruption of the crystalline structure of starch, suggesting that PHFBMA did not undergo physical adsorption onto starch.

The preparation of new phosphor with outstanding luminescent properties for white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) is consistently a challenging. Here in the present study, A novel white-emitting chloropatite phosphor Ca(PO)Cl:Eu was synthesized via the pechini sol gel synthesis with citric acid and polyethylene glycol (PEG) acid as a fuel at 850 °C systematically investigating the impact of doping concentration and synthesis temperature on both photoluminescence properties and crystal phase. The structural characteristics and crystalline nature of the prepared sample were investigated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra.

This study explores the effect of sucrose addition on the properties of chiral nematic cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) films for potential food industry applications, including biodegradable packaging and food coloring. The addition of sucrose altered the films' structural color, shifting from blue in pure CNC films to aqua blue, green, yellow-green, and red with increasing sucrose concentrations (up to 21 %). Surface analysis revealed a reduction in contact angle from 96° to 48° due to sucrose's hydrophilic nature and smoother film surfaces.
