Lotus rhizome residue, a cell wall material produced during the production of lotus rhizome starch, has long been underutilized. This study aims to extract pectin-rich polysaccharides from the cell wall of lotus rhizome and investigate their gelation mechanism in order to improve their industrial applicability. The results indicated that both CP and MP (pectin extracted from crisp and mealy lotus rhizome) exhibited a highly linear low methoxyl pectin structure, with the primary linkage mode being →4)-GalpA-(1→. The pectin chains in MP were found to be more flexible than those in CP. Then the impact of Na, D-glucono-d-lactone (GDL), urea, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), either individually or in combination, on the rheological characteristics of gels was evaluated. The results indicated that gels induced by GDL exhibited favorable thermoreversible properties, whereas the thermoreversibility of Na-induced gels is poor. In addition to hydrogen bonding and ionic interactions, hydrophobic interactions also play a significant role in the formation of pectin gels. This study offers theoretical guidance and methodologies to improve the utilization rate of lotus rhizome starch processing by-products, while also provides novel insights into the correlation between LMP structure and gelation mechanism.

Article Synopsis
- Lotus rhizome soup is popular for its unique taste, but its color can affect people's appetite.
- The study examined two types of lotus rhizomes—Miancheng (MLR) and Elian No. 6 (ELR)—to see how cooking affects their polyphenol, organic acid, and iron content, revealing that cooking MLR for 12 minutes created a red soup, while ELR stayed white.
- Findings indicate that certain polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin and epicatechin, contribute significantly to the red color, and factors like pH levels and metal-chelating agents can help prevent this color change, leading to new methods for managing soup color.

Boiled lotus rhizome discs (BLRDs), as common processed products of lotus rhizome, have gained increasing attention from consumers and food manufacturers. However, the blue pigment formed during boiling affects its appearance and reduces the appetite of BLRDs. In this study, the effects of polyphenols and iron contents on blue pigment formation in BLRDs in different regions and months were investigated.

We isolated ten compounds from methanolic extract of the peels of sacred lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) rhizomes which were identified as β-sitosterol linoleate 1, β-sitosterol 2, lupeol 3, stigmasterol 3-O-β-D-glucoside 4, oleanolic acid 5, betulinic acid 6, pinoresinol 7, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid 8, catechin 9 and gallocatechin 10. All of the isolated compounds from the peels of sacred lotus rhizomes are reported for the first time, and were investigated for their anti-allergic activity. We found that three of them, stigmasterol 3-O-β-D-glucoside 4, oleanolic acid 5 and pinoresinol 7, were capable of inhibiting A23187-induced degranulation in RBL-2H3 cells with IC values 0.

An imidacloprid colloidal gold immunochromatographic strip was developed in this work, and systematic analytical conditions were deeply investigated. The test strips were used for rapid screening of imidacloprid residues in Chinese herbal medicines. The performance of the colloidal gold test strips was investigated by using five selected Chinese herbal medicines (malt, Coix seed, lotus seed, dried ginger and honeysuckle).
