The present study has developed a novel, eco-friendly method for the modification of potato starch by incorporating ultrasonic pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis, and oxidation with hydrogen peroxide. The technical parameters of the modification were optimized through response surface methodology to give optimum conditions. The results showed that the combination of ultrasound and enzyme disrupted the microstructure and crystalline structure of the starch granules, thus allowing for easier penetration of modifying agents and increasing the reactivity of the starch. Additionally, this starch exhibited higher thermal stability, with improved rheological properties compared to conventionally modified starch. This combined modification approach further reduced agglomeration of starch granules usually achieved by single-agent modification and increased the solubility of starch. Thus, this eco-friendly method is effective for the modification of potato starch.

This study aimed to investigate the impact of adding aroeira leaf extract (Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi) to a yam starch film matrix, focusing on the development of potentially active films and the evaluation of their physicochemical, mechanical, optical, and antioxidant properties. Films were produced using the casting method with varying extract concentrations (0, 3, 6, 12, and 15 %), yam starch (2 %), and glycerol (1 %). The antioxidant properties were analyzed by determining the total phenolic content, 2,2-Diphenyl-1-Picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging, ferric reducing power, and 2,2-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical elimination, which revealed a significant increase in antioxidant properties as the extract concentration increased.

A series of novel cationic modified actinia-shaped composite coagulant (AMS-C), with similar tentacle length and distribution but different charge density (CD), was successfully designed and fabricated by combination of a cationic graft starch and attapulgite (ATP). AMS-C shows a high efficiency in coagulative removal of Microcystis aeruginosa from water over a wide pH range. The algae-harvesting efficiency of optimized AMS-C can reach to 92.

This study aimed to prepare a composite film by blending cross-linked tapioca starch (CLTS) with sodium alginate (SA), silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), and ZnO nanoparticles (ZnOs). The effects of SA, AgNPs, and ZnOs at different concentrations (1-3 wt%) on the mechanical properties, optical properties, thermal stability, and antibacterial activity of cross-linked starch films were also investigated. The structures of the films were examined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction.
