Interactions between food components have a positive impact in the field of food science. In this study, the effects of tea polyphenol on the structural and physicochemical properties of Chinese yam starch using autoclave-assisted pullulanase treatment were investigated. X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, rapid visco analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and the 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid method were applied in this study. The results showed that the Chinese yam starch-tea polyphenol complex formed a structural domain with higher thermal stability along with lower pasting viscosities than native starch. The in vitro digestibility of Chinese yam starch decreased with the addition of the tea polyphenol, and the amount of resistant starch content in the complex was 56.25 ± 1.37%, significantly higher than that of native starch ( < 0.05). In addition, the complex showed a B+V-type crystalline structure, which confirmed that the interaction modes between the starch and tea polyphenol include hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions. Moreover, the appearance of an irregular sponge network structure of the complex further supported the interactions between the starch and tea polyphenol. This study provides a theoretical basis for the development of functional foods using Chinese yam starch.

Article Synopsis
- Long-term hyperglycemia and inflammation in diabetes often lead to chronic wounds that do not heal, but a new hydrogel with plant polysaccharides shows promise in promoting healing.
- This hydrogel, PL-PVA/DOP-CaCO, is engineered to release insulin in response to high glucose levels and has anti-inflammatory properties, enhancing the wound healing process.
- In studies, this hydrogel improved healing in diabetic rats by regulating blood sugar, reducing inflammation, and boosting the growth of cells essential for wound recovery.
Association of Metabolomics With Incidence of Age-Related Macular Degeneration: The UK Biobank Study.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify serum metabolites associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) incidence and investigate whether metabolite profiles enhance AMD risk prediction.
Methods: In a prospective cohort study involving 240,317 UK Biobank participants, we assessed the associations of 168 metabolites with AMD incidence using Cox hazards models. Principal component analysis (PCA) captured 90% of the variance in metabolites.

Background: Dioscorea polystachya and its closely related species are original plants of the tuber crop "yam", which had been intensively use for medicinal and food purposes and widely cultivated in northern China and its surrounding areas with a long history. Many cultivars of these species are often confused with one another because of similar tuber morphology, however, conventional DNA barcoding faces practical limitations restricting the method to effectively identify closely related species. In addition, phylogenetic relationships among various cultivar groups of Chinese yam (D.
