This study investigated the effect of the autoclaving-cooling (AC) cycle and the starch-to-water ratio on the chemical, morphological, color, and pasting properties of foxtail millet starch to improve its utilization in the food industry. Starch suspensions were prepared using different starch-to-water ratios (i.e., 1:1 and 1:4), with one to three AC cycles for each ratio. Subsequently, the chemical, morphological, color, and pasting properties of native and autoclaved-cooled foxtail millet starch (ACFS) were determined. The results showed that ACFS had higher overall resistant starch (RS) content than native starch. AC treatment reduced the lightness and whiteness index, gelatinization time, and pasting temperature while increasing particle sizes with irregular shapes and surfaces. Starch treated with distilled water at a 1:1 ratio with two AC cycles (1:1-2C) exhibited the highest amylose, starch, and RS contents with stable pasting properties compared with that in other AC treatments. Pasting stability was indicated by the low breakdown viscosity and high trough and final viscosity. The findings suggest that ACFS treated with 1:1-2C could be a stabilizer and functional food.

The focus of this work was to evaluate the differences between the thermal and mechanical effects generated by ultrasound waves on the properties of corn starch, which facilitate the subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis for the generation of porous starches. The results showed that both the thermal and mechanical effects have the capacity to disorganize/alter the structure of starch, impacting on its properties. Characteristics such as particle size, pasting and thermal properties (peak viscosity 1400-1800 cp.

Glutinous and japonica sorghum can be applied to different production processes by their amylopectin content and starch structure. However, the differences in the fine structure and physiochemistry properties of their starches, as well as their fermentation properties remain unclear. Compared with japonica sorghum, glutinous sorghum has a higher amylopectin content, short amylose chain content, relative crystallinity, and ∆H, but lower setback (SB), and starch granule size.

The present experiment aimed to formulate four ointments that included mixtures of plant extracts (, , , and ), apitherapy products (honey, propolis, and apilarnil) and natural polymers (collagen, chitosan, and the lyophilisate of egg white) in an ointment base. : In order to investigate the therapeutic properties of the ointments, experimental in vivo injury models (linear incision, circular excision, and thermal burns) were performed on laboratory animals, namely Wistar rats. The treatment was applied topically, once a day, for 21 days.
