The effects of high-temperature storage at 37 °C on the crystallinity, pasting, rheological, and thermal properties of adlay seed starches from three famous Chinese varieties were studied. The results showed that high-temperature storage altered the natural structure of adlay seed starch, resulting in increased peak viscosity for all starch pastes after one month of storage at 37 °C. Jinsha adlay seed starch (JSC), which had the highest amylose content (11.21 %), showed increased D relative crystallinity and OD values, demonstrating strong regrowth ability and hydrophobicity, with starch gels having greater hardness and gumminess after storage. In contrast, Pucheng adlay seed starch (PSC) and waxy Ninghua adlay seed starch (WSC), with similar amylose proportions, showed distinct starch gel properties. PSC (with an amylose content of 3.35 %) exhibited better starch gel properties, whereas WSC (amylose content of 5.74 %) demonstrated improved gumminess and chewiness after storage and exhibited stronger anti-starch regrowth capabilities. This study provides valuable insights into the selection of future starches based on their specific processing requirements.

Background: The health benefits of coixol, an active compound of adlay seed, have attracted certain attention. Adlay seed is often adopted in traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of various inflammatory disorders. Thus, it is hypothesized that coixol could protect neuronal cells.

Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is a vision-threatening condition associated with retinal-detachment (RD), primarily caused by fibrocellular scar membrane formation. This study investigates the therapeutic potential of adlay seed extract fractions in mitigating PVR-associated pathways, focusing on oxidative stress, proliferation, inflammation, and fibrogenesis in retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells. Adlay seed extract fractions (methanolic: MeOH and residual: Res) were obtained through solvent extraction and characterized for carbohydrate, protein, flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity.

Adlay millet seeds are well known for excellent health benefits. However, using fungal fermentation to improve their nutritional and functional constituents and the underlying mechanisms has not been thoroughly investigated. Herein, we used Rhizopus oryzae as starter and applied metabolomics combining with quantitative verification to understand the changes of the nutritional and functional profiles of adlay millet seeds.
