Dhua S, Mishra P. Development of highly reusable, mechanically stablecorn starch-based aerogel using glycerol for potential application in the storage of fresh spinach leaves. Int J Biol Macromol 2023:125102. [PMID: 37245761 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.125102] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2023] [Revised: 05/12/2023] [Accepted: 05/23/2023] [Indexed: 05/30/2023]
Abstract
Impact of glycerol on the physico-functional, morphological, mechanical, and rehydration properties ofcorn starch-based aerogel has been investigated. The aerogel was prepared from hydrogel (sol-gel method) using solvent exchange and supercritical CO2 drying. Glycerol-infused aerogel had a more connected, denser structure (0.38-0.45 g/cm3), enhanced hygroscopic behavior, and was reusable up to eight times in terms of its capacity to absorb water after being drawn from the soaked sample. However, the inclusion of glycerol reduced the aerogel's porosity (75.89-69.91 %) and water absorption rate (WAR; 118.53-84.64 %) but enhanced its percentage shrinkage (75.03-77.99 %) and compressive strength (26.01-295.06 N). The most effective models for describing the rehydration behavior of aerogel were determined to be the Page, Weibull, and Modified Peleg models. Glycerol addition improved the internal strength of the aerogel so could be recycled without significant change in the physical characteristics of the aerogel. By effectively eliminating the condensed moisture that was developed inside the packing owing to the transpiration of fresh spinach leaves, the aerogel extended the storage life of the leaves by up to eight days. The glycerol-based aerogel has the potential to be employed as a carrier matrix for various chemicals and a moisture scavenger.

Abstract
In this study, the network strength of starch hydrogels was improved by adjusting the pH value (3-11.5) and adding iron ions (Fe3+), and the mechanical properties and swelling properties of the hydrogels were improved. The complex modulus of the starch hydrogel with a pH value of 11.5 and containing Fe3+ was above 3400 Pa. SEM showed that the hydrogel structure became more compact with the increase of pH value. In addition, the hardness of the hydrogel increased from 50.29 g at pH 3.0 to 215.1 g at pH 11.5, while the addition of 0.5 mol/L Fe3+ at pH 11.5 promoted a further hardness increase to 301.8 g. Moreover, the swelling rate of the hydrogel decreased from 670.2 % at pH 7.0 to 464.4 % at pH 11.5, and the addition of 0.5 mol/L Fe3+ further decreased the swelling rate to 191.8 %. Overall, the results indicate that the mechanical properties of starch hydrogels can be improved by making simple adjustments to the pH and the iron ion concentrations.

Abstract
This study reports the in vitro digestibility of starch aerogels for the first time. The relative crystallinities of the wheat starch aerogels (WSAs) produced at gelatinization temperatures of 120 °C (WSA-120C), 130 °C (WSA-130C), and 120 °C with the addition of sodium metaphosphate (STMP) (WSA-STMP) and xerogel were similar. However, WSA-120C showed the highest amylose-lipid complex content. The addition of STMP created some cross-linked starch with a phosphorus content of 0.023%. Resistant starch (RS) contents of WSA-STMP (33.5%) and xerogel (26.9%) were higher than the other samples when they were uncooked prior to digestion. Nevertheless, the RS contents of WSA-STMP and xerogel decreased drastically with cooking. RS contents of WSA-120C and WSA-130C were stable with cooking and provided 4.5- and 3.0-fold increases in the RS content, respectively. WSA is a promising functional food ingredient with a high RS content, even after cooking.

Abstract
Effects of added wheat fiber, with different levels and particle sizes, on the physicochemical properties and gel morphology of wheat starch and mung bean starch were investigated, using rapid visco analyzer (RVA), texture analyzer (TPA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Each starch was added with wheat fiber at 10, 20, 30 and 40% (weight basis, g/100g), and different sizes of 60, 100 and 180 mesh, respectively. The peak viscosity (PV) of starches with wheat fiber were higher than the control. Starches had the highest PV with 40%, 60 mesh wheat fiber. The starches with wheat fiber showed higher hardness when compared to the control. Wheat starch and mung bean starch, with 40%, 60 mesh wheat fiber, had the highest hardnesses of 147.78 and 1032.11g, respectively. SEM showed that the dense honeycomb structure of starch gel was diminished with increasing wheat fiber. Additionally, the number of internal pores was reduced, and a large lamellar structure was formed.

Abstract
The porous nanocomposites consisting of starch and sepiolite were prepared by a solvent exchange technique, i.e. replacing ice crystals in frozen sepiolite/starch gel with ethanol. The influence of sepiolite contents on pore size, apparent density, moisture adsorption, oil adsorption capacity and dye adsorption of porous sepiolite/starch composites (SPPSs) was investigated. The addition of sepiolite reduced pore size, apparent density and moisture adsorption of SPPSs. The oil adsorption and the methylene blue adsorption of SPPSs could respectively reach 10.1 g/g and 2.07 mg g-1 at the maximal, while those of PS were only 5.83 g/g and 1.55 mg g-1.

Abstract
Natural plant products such as essential oils have gained interest for use in pest control in place of synthetic pesticides because of their low environmental impact. Essential oils can be effective in controlling parasitic mites that infest honeybee colonies, but effective encapsulants are needed to provide a sustained and targeted delivery that minimizes the amount of active ingredient used. The present study reports the encapsulation of essential oils in porous microspheres that are within the size range of pollen grains and can be easily dispersed. The microspheres were made by pumping an 8% aqueous high-amylose starch gelatinous melt through an atomizing nozzle. The atomized starch droplets were air-classified into two fractions and collected in ethanol. The size range for each fraction was measured using a particle size analyzer. The mean particle size for the largest fraction was approximately 100 microm with a range from 5 microm to over 300 microm. Part of the reason for the large particle size was attributed to the merging of smaller particles that impinged upon each other before they solidified. The smaller fraction of spheres had a mean particle size of approximately 5 microm. The starch-based porous microspheres were loaded with 16.7% (w/w) essential oils including thymol (5-methyl-2-isopropylphenol), clove, origanum, and camphor white oil. The essential oils appeared to be largely sequestered within the pore structure, since the spheres remained a free-flowing powder and exhibited little if any agglomeration in spite of the high loading rate. Furthermore, SEM micrographs verified that the pore structure was stable, as evidenced by the persistence of pores in spheres that had first been loaded with essential oils and then had the oil removed by solvent extraction. Thermal gravimetric analyses were consistent with a loading rate at predicted levels.
