The objective of this research was to investigate the effects of preparation method on the characteristics and ethylene loading capacity of V-type linear dextrin (LD). LD with different degrees of polymerisation were obtained from debranched starch by gradient ethanol precipitation. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of samples obtained by precipitation and anti-solvent precipitation presented A + V-type crystalline structure. However, the percentage of V-type structure of samples obtained by anti-solvent precipitation was significantly higher than for samples prepared by precipitation, which was further confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), and molecular dynamics simulation supported the XRD and NMR results. The ethylene encapsulation capabilities of samples fabricated by different methods were in range of 1.15-4.68 cm/g. Ethylene release from V-type LD was a physical process at different storage temperatures, and the higher percentage of V-type structure, the slower release rate. Thus, a higher V-type structure content was beneficial for encapsulation of gaseous molecules.

The crosslinked porous corn starch was prepared by two steps: the native corn starch was hydrolyzed by α-amylase and glucoamylase, then the porous corn was crosslinked by sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP). The morphology and size of granules, spherulites, crystal type, molecular structure, swelling properties, thermal stability and adsorption properties of the crosslinked porous starch were investigated. The results indicated that a lot of holes formed in the porous starch, and the particle size of starch granules decreased.

This study investigates the effect of ultrasonic-assisted preparation on the structural and physicochemical properties of water caltrop starch-palmitic acid complexes as a function of ultrasound intensity and treatment time. All samples exhibited the characteristic birefringence of starch-lipid complexes under the polarized microscope, and flake-like and irregular structure under scanning electron microscope (SEM), indicating the formation of complexes through ultrasonic-assisted preparation. X-ray diffraction pattern further confirmed the transition from the original A-type structure for native starch to V-type structure for starch-lipid complexes, and the relative crystallinity of starch-lipid complexes increased as the ultrasound intensity and treatment time increased.

Linear dextrin (LD), a low-molecular-weight carbohydrate, regarded as a type of short amylose, can form resistant starch when combined with fatty acids. This study investigated the structural properties and in vitro digestion of linear dextrins and their complexes with lauric acid (LA). Four groups of linear dextrins were prepared by pretreating gelatinized high-amylose maize starch (HAMS) with pullulanase followed by gradient ethanol precipitation at concentrations of 0 %, 50 %, 60 %, and 70 % (v/v).

To investigate the effects of artificial light at night on the growth of mandibles in mice and its regulatory mechanisms. A mouse model of artificial light at night (night light pollution group) and normal lighting (normal light group) was established by controlling light exposure time, with 4 mice in each group. Micro-CT was employed to analyze the differences in bone quantities of the mandibles between the two groups.

This study explores the effect of fatty acid chain length in regulating the structural changes and physicochemical properties of high-amylose maize starch (HAMS) induced by annealing with fatty acid solution (AFAS). AFAS was found to effectively regulate the conformation of amylose molecular chains within starch granules. Annealing with fatty acids of shorter chain length, such as lauric acid, promoted the formation of both double and single helices within HAMS granules.
