Experimental viscoelastic data and the corresponding theoretical analysis of corn starch paste in the past 30 years indicate an evident deficiency of the viscoelastic characterization of the paste. The purposes of the study are to check the capability of a recent model on describing the viscoelasticity of the paste and to improve the viscoelastic analysis. The linear viscoelastic property; the steady shear viscosity and the first normal stress difference () of a cross-linked waxy corn starch paste mixed with sucrose experimentally reported in 2003 were characterized with a structuralized viscoelastic constitutive equation in the present paper. The structuralized parameter in the equation was obtained using the viscosities in the dynamic and steady shear experiment. Both a power law strain model and a linear strain model were proposed to describe the normal component in the strain matrix. Three kinds of viscoelastic properties of the paste can be described well with the structuralized equation. Both the power law and the linear strain model can yield reasonable calculations of . The maximum deviation of calculated by two strain models is about 10%. The theoretical model adopted is available for describing the complex viscoelastic behaviors of corn starch paste usually appearing in the processing of corn starch.

Cassava Waste Starch as a Source of Bioplastics: Development of a Polymeric Film with Antimicrobial Properties.

Foods

January 2025

Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciência de Alimentos (PPGCA), Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Av. Antônio Carlos, 6627, Belo Horizonte 31270-901, MG, Brazil.

Polysaccharides represent the most abundant biopolymers in agri-food wastes and thus are the most studied polymers to produce biodegradable films for use in packaging. Starch is among the major polysaccharides extracted from food and agricultural waste that have been used as precursor material for film production. Therefore, the present study aimed at producing an active film with antimicrobial properties using starch extracted from cassava waste and oil extracted from cloves.

January 2025

School of Chinese Meteria Medica, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, Northeast Corner of the Intersection of Sunshine South Street and Baiyang East Road, Fang-Shan District, Beijing 102488, China.

Numerous reports have indicated that the type 3 resistant starch (RS3) derived from can regulate lipid metabolism. However, it remains unclear whether the type 5 resistant starch (RS5) exhibits similar effects. In this study, RS5 was prepared from native starch and lauric acid through a hydrothermal method for the first time, and its nutritional intervention effects on hyperlipidemia in mice were investigated.

January 2025

Tianjin Key Laboratory of Food Biotechnology, Institute of Collaborative Innovation in Great Health, College of Biotechnology and Food Science, Tianjin University of Commerce, Tianjin 300134, China.

Alum, an essential additive in sweet potato vermicelli (SPV) production, is harmful to health. To eliminate the harm to the human body caused by alum in sweet potato vermicelli, and considering the different viscous properties of gliadin fractions, an experiment was performed to replace alum with gliadin fractions to enhance the boiling resistance of SPV in this study. The results showed that the longest boiling-resistant time of fresh SPV extended to 34.

Yam noodles were produced by replacing high-gluten wheat flour with yam flour modified with plasma-activated water and twin-screw extrusion (PAW-TSE). The effects of varying amounts of modified yam flour on the color, cooking characteristics, texture, and in vitro digestibility of the noodles were investigated. As the amount of modified yam flour increased, the noodles became darker in color, while the bound water content increased, and the free water content decreased.
