Three cultivars of waxy rice starch with different multi-scale structures were subjected to α-amylase hydrolysis to determine amylopectin fine structure, production of oligosaccharides, morphology, and crystallinity of the partially hydrolyzed starch granules. α-amylases hydrolyzed the amylopectin B2 chain during the initial stage of hydrolysis, suggesting that it is primarily located in the outer shell of the granules. For waxy rice starch with loose structure, α-amylases attacked the crystalline and amorphous regions simultaneously in the initial stage, while for starch granules with compact structure, the outer shell blocklet (crystalline structure) can be a hurdle for α-amylases to proceed to hydrolysis of the internal granule structure. The ability of α-amylases from porcine pancreatic α-amylases to attack the outer shell crystalline structure was lower than that of α-amylases from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and Aspergillus oryzae. These results show that α-amylase source and rice cultivar combinations can be used to generate diverse structures in degraded waxy rice starch.

The in vitro model is widely preferred for digestion research due to its simplicity, reproducibility, and ethical advantages. However, the differences between in vivo and in vitro digestion present challenges. This study first developed an in vitro oral processing system to explore the influence of saliva volume and chewing time on the physicochemical properties of japonica rice (JR), indica rice (IR), and waxy rice (WR).

Ozone was used as a green and environmentally friendly initiator to directly induce a Schiff base cross-linking reaction between chitosan and waxy rice starch (CS) in the present investigation. The effects of oxidation on the structure of chitosan/starch bio-based composite, along with the cross-linked structure formation via Schiff base reaction, were investigated and confirmed using FTIR, XRD, and XPS characterization techniques. The formation of new bonds (C=N) along with other attributes imparted by the cross-linking reaction were evaluated and characterized.

Granule-bound starch synthase I (GBSSI) encoding gene Waxy (Wx), which largely regulates the amylose content of rice grains, is a master module determining rice eating and cooking quality (ECQ). Fine-tuning amylose level of grains is an ideal strategy to improve rice quality. Through fine editing of Wx promoter and 5'UTR by CRISPR/Cas9 system, we created 14 types of novel Wx allelic variations, of which MT7 and MT13 were able to alter Wx expression and amylose content of grains.

Article Synopsis
- Pre-gelatinized starch is modified starch that can swell in cold water and has diverse industrial applications; this study evaluates high-pressure homogenization (HPH) as a method to produce it from various sources.
- Eleven types of starch were processed through HPH, resulting in altered physical properties such as disrupted surface structures, improved water absorption, and changes in crystallinity and gelatinization temperatures.
- The study found that waxy rice yielded the highest pre-gelatinization and water absorption, while cassava showed the greatest viscosity, suggesting HPH is an effective technique for enhancing the functional properties of pre-gelatinized starches.

Introduction: Whole-grain pigmented rice (WCP) provides many nutritional benefits compared to non-pigmented varieties. The textural quality of cooked whole-grain rice, particularly its hardness, is crucial for consumers' preferences.
Materials And Methods: We investigated the impact of multiple-grain nutrient components on textural attributes through Pearson Correlation and Path Coefficient Analyses (PCA).
