The emulsification of ultrasonic-assisted prepared octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) rice starch on curcumin was investigated in the present study. The results indicated that the encapsulation efficiency of curcumin in emulsions stabilized by OSA-ultrasonic treatment rice starch was improved, from 81.65 ± 0.14% to 89.03 ± 0.09%. During the in vitro oral digestion, the particle size and Zeta potential of the curcumin emulsion did not change significantly (p > 0.05). During the in vitro digestive stage of the stomach and small intestine, the particle size of the curcumin emulsion continued to increase, and the absolute potential continued to decrease. Our work showed that OSA-pre-treatment ultrasonic rice starch could improve curcumin bioavailability by increasing the encapsulation efficiency with stronger stability to avoid the attack of enzymes and high intensity ion, providing a way to develop new emulsion-based delivery systems for bioactive lipophilic compounds using OSA starch.

Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, despite advances in treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy. The role of the gut microbiota in human health and disease, particularly in relation to cancer incidence and treatment response, has gained increasing attention. Emerging evidence suggests that dietary fibre, including prebiotics, can modulate the gut microbiota and influence antitumour effects.

The nutritional composition of taro was accessed to select nutritional-rich genotypes using, additive main-effects and multiplicative interactions (AMMI), weighted average absolute scores (WAAS), best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP), genotype plus genotype × environment interaction (GGE) biplots, and multi-trait selection index (MTSI). The AMMI1 and AMMI2 biplots identified 11CE, 1CE, and 13CE as stable genotypes. 13CE, 8CE, and 24CE are stable as per the WAAS biplot.

The prevalence and persistence of phthalate esters (PAEs) in agricultural soils has garnered global attention. Assessing their potential impacts on crop yield and quality necessitates a thorough understanding of their risks. In this study, we elucidated the carbon flow-dependent mechanisms of the decreased grain quality upon exposure to PAEs through a soil-based rice cultivation experiment.

Amino acids are crucial nutrients for growth in crops. In this study, we found an amino acid transporter-like 13 (OsATL13), that coordinately determined rice yield and quality. OsATL13 was primarily expressed in the root and panicle, its protein was localized on plasma membrane, and it principally transported phenylalanine and methionine.

Parboiled rice can effectively retain Se during milling. In this study, Se-enriched rice grains were sprayed with three different concentrations of bioSeNPs fertilizer on the leaves at heading stage and then processed into parboiled and milled rice. The aim was to investigate the effects of parboiling on Se speciation, texture, microstructure, taste, and flavor of cooked rice.
