Abstract
Resistant starch (RS) is beneficial for human health through its interactions with gut microbiota. However, the alignment between RS structures with gut microbiota profile and consequentially health benefits remain elusive. This review summarizes current understanding of RS complex structures and their interactions with the gut microbiota, aiming to highlight the possibility of manipulating RS structures for a targeted and predictable gut microbiota shift for human health in a personalized way. Current definition of RS types is strongly associated with starch digestion behaviors in small intestine, which does not precisely reflect their interactions with human gut microbiota. Distinct alterations of gut microbiota could be associated with the same RS type. The principles to describe the specificity of different RS structural characteristics in terms of aligning with human gut microbiota shift was proposed in this review, which could result in new definitions of RS types from the microbial perspectives. To consider the highly variable personal features, a machine-learning algorithm to integrate different personalized factors and better understand the complex interaction between RS and gut microbiota and its effects on individual health was explained. This review contains important information to bring interactions between RS and gut microbiota to translational practice.

Abstract
Herein, corn starch samples with different moisture contents (native corn starch, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50%) were prepared by twin-screw extrusion, and the structural and physical properties were analyzed and correlated. Scanning electron microscopy observed the morphology, attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy investigated the double helix structure, X-ray diffraction analyzed the crystal region, ion chromatography observed the chain length distribution, and rapid viscosity analyzer measured the viscosity of corn starch samples. We found that the corn starch crystallinity, degree of order, and double helix degree decreased with increasing moisture content. The moisture content has a crucial role in the peak viscosity, breakdown, final viscosity, and setback in pasting property experiments. With the increase in moisture content, the longer chain was transformed into a shorter chain, and the dispersion of molecular weight distribution continuously increased. This study provides a theoretical basis for the production of extruded corn starch.

Abstract
Sorghum steaming properties are important for both flavor and brewing efficiency of baijiu (Chinese alcohol liquor). However, it is currently unclear with respects to structural factors that affect sorghum steaming properties during baijiu production. In this study, starch fine molecular structures were characterized by size-exclusion chromatography and fluorophore-assisted carbohydrate electrophoresis for 8 sorghum varieties used in baijiu production. Starch crystalline structures and ordering of double helices were characterized by the X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry. Results showed that only small differences were observed for starch molecular size distributions and chain-length distributions in the raw sorghum flour. Of significance, the leached starch content and molecular size during steaming was very different among these sorghum varieties. Furthermore, Spearman correlation analysis showed that there was no significant correlation between starch fine structural parameters with the leached starch content. On the other hand, the correlation analysis showed that leached starch molecular size was negatively correlated with starch crystallinity, while positively correlated with the onset and peak gelatinization temperatures. It is concluded that the sorghum steaming property is controlled by the starch crystalline structures instead of starch fine molecular structures. These results could help the baijiu industry to produce baijiu with more desirable properties.

Abstract
A germination treatment was explored in this study as a green strategy to reduce the in vitro starch digestibility of cooked quinoa. The alterations of chemical compositions, starch chain-length distributions (CLDs) and rheological characteristics of quinoa flours after the germination treatment were characterized. Results showed that a significant alteration of amylose CLDs and the starch digestibility was observed for cooked quinoa flours after different germination times. By fitting starch digestograms to the logarithm of slop (LOS) plot and the combination of parallel and sequential kinetics model (CPS), two starch digestible fractions with distinct rate constants were identified. Pearson correlation analysis further found that the observed starch digestive characteristics could be largely explained by the alterations of amylose CLDs caused by the germination treatment. More specifically, the rapidly digestible starch fraction mainly consisted of amorphous amylopectin molecules and amylose intermolecular crystallites. On the other hand, the slowly digestible starch fraction was largely formed by intramolecular interactions among amylose short chains (degree of polymerization (DP) < 500). These results suggest that germination may be a promising way to develop cereal products with slower starch digestibility.

Abstract
Three different storage temperatures including room temperature (RT), 4 °C and -20 °C were investigated in this study, with respects to their effects on the retrogradation property and in vitro digestibility of gelatinized sago starch. Storage at -20 °C resulted in the highest amount of both intra- and intermolecular double helices and a fracture-like structure under scanning electron microscopy (SEM). These crystallites were more homogenous while less thermally stable than that from RT and 4 °C storage conditions. Storage at RT significantly increased the stability and heterogeneity of the formed crystallites, resulting in a sponge-like structure under SEM. Causally, the digestion rate of retrograded sago starch by α-amylase was significantly lowered after storage at -20 °C compared to that at RT and 4 °C. The crystallite heterogeneity, thermal stability, and ratio of inter- to intramolecular double helices were possibly the main driven factors for the observed digestion rates instead of the amount and micro-morphology of the crystallites. These results supply potential tools for the manufacture of food products with slower starch digestibility.

Abstract
Starch lamellar and crystalline structures are important controller of its physicochemical and digestion properties. Here, starch lamellar/crystalline structures of 16 different rice starches were investigated and correlated with their chain-length distributions (CLDs) and molecular size distributions. Results showed that the thickness of amorphous lamellae was mainly correlated with the amount of amylose short and medium chains. Thickness of both amorphous and crystalline lamellae was negatively correlated with the amount of amylopectin medium chains and relative length of amylopectin short chains. The degree of crystallinity was negatively correlated with the amount of amylose short and long chains. The lamellar ordering, fractal nature and thickness polydispersity were also related to the starch CLDs. Whereas, starch molecular size distributions were shown to be lack of correlations with the starch lamellar/crystalline structures. This study helps a better understanding of the molecular nature of starch semi-crystalline lamellae.

Abstract
Effects of acid hydrolysis on amylose molecular structures and their relations to starch gelatinization properties were investigated. First-order kinetics models were applied to fit the evolution curve of starch chain-length and molecular size by acid hydrolysis treatment. Results showed that a single hydrolysis phase was involved in the degradation of waxy maize starch chains, while two distinct phases existed for the degradation of maize, high amylose maize and sago starch chains. The fast hydrolysis phase involved degradation of amylose chains with DP > ~300 and amylopectin long intra-cluster branches, while amylose chains with DP < ~300 was involved in the slow hydrolysis phase. Amylose molecules with DP ~ 300 were proposed to impact starch gelatinization properties by interaction with cut-off amylopectin double helices and formation of amylose crystallites/entanglements. This study could help food industry precisely control amylose molecular structures by acid hydrolysis treatment to develop starchy foods with desirable properties.

Abstract
Starch fine molecular structures are of essentially important in determining its pasting and retrogradation properties. In this study, 10 different starches from various botanical sources were selected to investigate the combined action of amylose and amylopectin molecules in determining the starch physicochemical properties. Correlation between starch structural parameters with the pasting and retrogradation properties showed that amylose and amylopectin CLDs do not affect these properties in isolation. Such as, the amount of amylose long chains and amylopectin short chains are both positively correlated with the melting temperatures and enthalpy of retrograded starches. Furthermore, relatively longer amylose short to medium chains can result in higher trough and breakdown viscosity, while higher amount of amylopectin medium to long chains result in higher peak viscosity. The results help a better understanding of the importance of amylose and amylopectin fine molecular structures in determining starch functional properties.
