Background: Catechins, a member of the flavonoids, exist widely in teas, and have health benefits. However, catechins have poor stability, which greatly limits their application. In order to improve the stability of catechins, different catechins including (-)-epicatechin (EC), (-)-epicatechin gallate (ECG), (-)-epigallocatechin (EGC) and (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) were conjugated onto dialdehyde starch by acid-mediated coupling method. The structure, stability and antioxidant activity of dialdehyde starch-catechin conjugates were determined.
Results: Thin-layer chromatography and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, fluorescence, nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectra revealed that catechins were successfully conjugated onto dialdehyde starch, coupling between 6-H/8-H of catechins' A ring and dialdehyde starch's aldehyde groups. The conjugates presented an amorphous structure and sheet-like and/or blocky morphologies. As compared to dialdehyde starch, the conjugates showed enhanced thermal stability. Furthermore, the stability of catechins in pH 7.4 phosphate-buffered saline was improved after conjugating onto dialdehyde starch. The conjugates exhibited significantly higher antioxidant activities than dialdehyde starch, decreasing in the following order: dialdehyde starch-ECG, dialdehyde starch-EGCG, dialdehyde starch-EC, dialdehyde starch-EGC and dialdehyde starch.
Conclusion: Dialdehyde starch-catechin conjugates have great potential as stable antioxidant agents. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Invasive surgical methods are the current standard for hemostasis and wound closure. In recent years, injectable hydrogels prepared from natural biomacromolecules have shown promise as tissue adhesives to overcome their shortcomings due to their high hydrophilicity and biocompatibility, but the inherent properties of unmodified biomolecules remain a major challenge in their application. In this paper, a hydrogel (DS/Gel-CDH) with self-healing, injectable and adhesive functions was constructed by Schiff base crosslinking between carbonyl hydrazide modified gelatin (Gel-CDH) and dialdehyde starch (DS).

Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has been proved an effective analytical technique due to its high sensitivity, however, how to identify and extract useful information from raw SERS spectra is still a problem that needs to be resolved. In this work, a composite SERS substrate was prepared by encapsulating Ag nanoparticles within dialdehyde starch (Ag@CDS) to obtain dense "hot spot", and then a novel spectral preprocessing algorithm namely lineshape correction algorithm (LCA) was developed to separate the characteristic peaks of analytes from the original SERS spectra. Based on Ag@CDS and LCA, thiram residues in different beverages were quantitatively detected using back propagation (BP) neural network regression model.

The development of sustainable materials has driven significant interest in starch as a renewable and biodegradable polymer. However, the inherent brittleness, hydrophilicity, and lack of thermoplasticity of native starch limit its application in material science. This study addresses the limitations of native starch by converting it to dialdehyde starch (DAS) and cross-linking with polyether diamines via imine bonds.

Starch-based plastics offer a potential solution to environmental pollution and can reduce the dependence on petroleum-based plastics. However, effectively preparing starch-based plastics with moisture resistance and high strength remains challenging. Herein, dialdehyde starch (DAS) with different degrees of oxidation was first synthesised.

This study aimed to develop rice protein/sodium alginate (RP/SA) pH-responsive films with enhanced properties by incorporating dialdehyde starch (DAS) and Lycium ruthenicum anthocyanins (LRA) and the film was applied to monitor the fruit freshness. The effect of the DAS and LRA content on the morphology, mechanical, water barrier, oxygen barrier, ultraviolet-blocking and thermal stability properties of RP/SA-based films was investigated. The best water vapor permeability of the film was 3.
