Native starches have low water solubility at room temperature and poor stability, which demand modifications to overcome. Porous starch as a modified one shows enhanced adsorptive efficiency and solubility compared with its native starch. In contrast, some inherent disadvantages exist, such as weak mechanical strength and low thermal resistance. Fortunately, modified porous starches have been developed to perform well in adsorption capacity and stability. Modified porous starch can be prepared by esterification, crosslinking, oxidation and multiple modifications to the porous starch. The characterization of modified porous starch can be achieved through various analytical techniques. Modified porous starch can be utilized as highly efficient adsorbents and encapsulants for various compounds and applied in various fields. This review dealt with the progress in the preparation, structural characterization and application of modified porous starch. The objective is to provide a reference for its development, utilization, and future research directions.

The demand for sustainable packaging materials is rapidly increasing due to growing environmental concerns over the impact of plastic waste. In this study, biodegradable, porous, lightweight, and high-surface-area microcrystalline cellulose-starch (MCC-S) hybrid aerogels were synthesized via supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO) drying. The samples were generated using five different MCC-S weight ratios and characterized for their morphology, crystallinity, and structural and thermal properties.

Although extensive research has been conducted on the effects of protein-starch interaction on the gelatinization and microstructure of starch gels, the starch retrogradation process and protein component has been overlooked. Moreover, the dual regulatory effects of oat protein on starch gel microstructure and starch digestibility pre-and post-retrogradation still remains largely unexplored. In this study, the gelation behaviors, structure, and digestibility of oat protein-oat starch mixtures pre- and post-retrogradation were determined.

A novel micrometer-sized porous cyclodextrin polymer (PCDP) was synthesized through the cross-linking of carboxymethyl β-cyclodextrin with 1,6-diaminohexane. We hypothesized that PCDP could be utilized as a drug carrier to enhance the dissolution rate and oral bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs. Ibuprofen (IBU), selected as the model poorly soluble drug, was successfully loaded into PCDP, resulting in a significant improvement in IBU release within simulated gastric fluid.
