Dodecenylsuccinic anhydride (DDSA) has been widely used to obtain amphiphilic starches. In this study, we investigated the functionalities of synchronous intermissive multi-ultrasound-assisted esterified starch. Compared to native starch (NS), it was deduced that multi-ultrasound-modified starch (US), esterified starch (ES), and multi-ultrasound-assisted esterified starch (UES) exhibited increased viscosities but reduced gelatinization temperatures and thermal stabilities. The viscoelastic moduli, retrogradation behaviors and hydrophobicity of the ES and UES species significantly altered. Moreover, the results of structural characterization suggested that esterification reduced the molecular weight and structural order of starch, whereas the intermissive ultrasonication treatment did not aggravate the structural disruption of ES. Additionally, compared with NS and US, the emulsification abilities of the ES and UES specimens were improved, leading to the desirable effect of stabilizing astaxanthin. Overall, this study provides a method for preparing amphiphilic starch, which can be exploited as a potential emulsifier and emulsion stabilizer for bioactive compounds.

This study investigates the efficiency of resistant starch production by malic, citric, and lactic acids after freezing-thawing pre-treatments led to an increase in degree of substitution (DS) for esterified FTFS (EFTFS) than esterified native starch (ENS). EFTFS and ENS exhibit new characteristic peaks absorption peaks near 1760 cm. Microscopic analysis further revealed that the unique granular structure and morphology of EFTFS underwent gelatinization and aggregation, which reduced swelling capacity.

Chitosan films containing cinnamon essential oil Pickering emulsions (CEO-PEs) stabilized by methyl tetrahydrophthalic anhydride esterified corn starch (MeCS) were prepared and characterized. The incorporation of CEO-PEs was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The cinnamon essential oil content affected the color of film significantly (p < 0.

This study investigates the potential of superheated steam (SS) as a rapid and sustainable method for synthesising millet starch citrates with improved physicochemical and functional properties. Millet starch was esterified with citric acid (CA) under varying SS conditions (160-180 °C, 15-45 min) to optimise the degree of substitution (DS) and evaluate its influence on starch functionality. A range of DS values (0.

In this study, high-amylose starch nanocrystals (HASNC) were esterified with octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) at concentrations of 3 %, 6 %, and 9 % (w/w). The study investigates how the degree of OSA substitution (DS) affects the structure of HASNC and how these structural changes influence the thermal stability and oral delivery of β-carotene in HASNC-stabilized emulsions. The results show that as the DS of HASNC increased from 0 to 3.
