Starch is non-toxic, low cost, and possesses good biocompatibility and biodegradability. As a natural polymer material, starch is an ideal choice for microcapsule wall materials. Starch-based microcapsules have a wide range of applications and application prospects in fields such as food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and others. This paper firstly reviews the commonly used wall materials and preparation methods of starch-based microcapsules. Then the effect of starch wall materials on microcapsule properties is introduced in detail. It is expected to provide researchers with design inspiration and ideas for the development of starch-based microcapsules. Next the applications of starch-based microcapsules in various fields are presented. Finally, the future trends of starch-based microcapsules are discussed. Molecular simulation, green chemistry, and solutions to the main problems faced by resistant starch microcapsules may be the future research trends of starch-based microcapsules.

The preservation of fruit freshness during long-distance transportation frequently faces significant challenges, especially a high risk of spoilage. 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), an effective ethylene inhibitor, is widely used to slow down fruit ripening and maintain freshness. However, achieving a controllable release of 1-MCP is challenging, and traditional carrier materials such as paper, chitosan films, and microcapsules have proven unsatisfactory.

The stability and bioavailability of green tea polyphenols, crucial for their health benefits, are compromised by environmental sensitivity, limiting their use in functional foods and supplements. This study introduces a novel water-in-oil-in-water double emulsion technique with microwave-assisted extraction, significantly enhancing the stability and bioavailability of these compounds. The primary objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of several encapsulating agents, such as gum Arabic as control and native and modified starches, in improving encapsulated substances' stability and release control.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on how microencapsulated phase change materials (PCMs) interact with polymeric additives in an air lime matrix to improve mortar properties.
- Two types of PCMs with melting points of 18 °C and 24 °C were tested alongside additives like a starch-derived adhesion booster and a superplasticizer (polycarboxylate ether).
- Results showed that while the superplasticizer helped maintain dispersion and overcome water demand issues, the starch-based additive led to clumping, prompting the researchers to find the best formulation for using PCMs in lime-based mortars to enhance adhesion and reduce cracking.
The color/shape/flavor of yam gel with double emulsified microcapsules changed synchronously in 4D printing induced by microwave.

The feasibility of 3D printing the color, aroma and shape changes of yam gel with microwave heating as stimulus and soybean protein isolate-chitosan-maltodextrin complex coacervated microcapsules rich in water-soluble betacyanin and rose essence as stimulus-response materials was discussed. The morphology of microcapsules presented irregular spherical structure, and the surface was relatively smooth and slightly concave. Microwave heating led to the gradual destruction of microcapsules in yam gel, releasing internal pigments and essence, and enhancing the redness and flavor of printed samples.
