Rice is a staple food for more than half of the world's population and it is regarded as a high glycemic index (GI) food. Breeders developed high amylose rice having low digestibility, but it also has inferior palatability. This study used high-amylose rice (HAR) produced by gamma irradiation and compared the digestion and physicochemical properties related to palatability with those of low-amylose rice (LAR). Pre-soaking and different-pH treatments were adopted to find a way to enhance the palatability of HAR while maintaining its low digestibility. After pre-soaking, HAR had a higher water uptake ratio (4.68 4.11 g g), proportion of leached starch (16.6 12.6%) and adhesiveness (77 . 39), but lower setback (0.092 0.107 Pa s), hardness (10.1 12.6 kg) and resilience (0.20 0.25). The results showed that pre-soaking was able to enhance the quality of the cooked rice mainly by modifying the starch amorphous region while maintaining the low digestibility of HAR. Pre-soaking can be adopted as a practical and effective household cooking method to prepare rice with relatively low digestibility and good palatability.

Introduction: Altered vascular microcirculation is recognized as a risk factor for anastomotic leakage (AL) in colorectal surgery. However, few studies evaluated its impact on AL using different devices, with heterogeneous results. The present study reported the initial experience measuring gut microcirculatory density and flow with the aid of incidence dark-field (IDF) videomicroscopy (Cytocam, Braedius, Amsterdam, The Netherlands) comparing its operative outcome using a propensity score matching (PSM) model based on age, gender, and Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI).

This study developed a W/O/W emulsion gel encapsulating proanthocyanidins from Aronia melanocarpa (Michx.) Elliott (APC) using polyglycerol ricinoleate (PGPR) as the lipophilic emulsifier and sodium caseinate (NaCN)-alginate (Alg) as the hydrophilic emulsifier. The optimal preparation process was established based on particle size, zeta potential, phase separation, centrifugal stability, and microscopic morphology: 4.

Background: Industrial processing and storage of milk products can strongly increase protein glycation level. Previously, we have reported that ingestion of highly glycated milk protein attenuates the post-prandial rise in plasma lysine concentrations when compared to the ingestion of an equivalent amount of milk protein with a low glycation level. Whether the attenuated increase in plasma lysine availability is attributed to compromised protein digestion and subsequent lysine absorption remains to be established.

Due to health reasons of polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR), there has been a growing interest in reducing it. To address this, this study developed the PGPR/Protein (whey, pea, and chickpea protein isolates) emulsifier combinations. The effects of these combinations on the preparation, structure, physicochemical and in vitro digestive properties of W/O/W microcapsules were evaluated.
