Abstract
Uncontrolled hemorrhage and infection are the principal causes of mortality associated with trauma in both military and civilian medical settings. Modified starch granules have emerged as a safe hemostatic agent for irregular and noncompressible wounds, but their performance is constrained by limited hemostasis efficiency and modest antibacterial activity. This study reported a directed self-assembly approach for a multifunctional mesoporous starch-based microparticle loaded with chitosan and calcium ions (Ca@MSMP) used for rapid hemostasis and wound healing. Directed self-assembly of uniform Ca@MSMP with a hierarchical hollow structure in the presence of chitosan was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis and pore structure analysis. The resulting Ca@MSMP exhibited a well-defined spherical shape and uniform size of 1 μm and demonstrated excellent antibacterial activity (>95%) without hemolytic activity. Importantly, Ca@MSMP enhanced blood coagulation and platelet aggregation via the synergistic effect of rapid calcium release and chitosan-mediated electrostatic interactions, leading to a significant decrease in blood loss and reduction in hemostasis time in rat tail amputation and liver injury models. In comparative analyses, Ca@MSMP significantly outperformed the commercial hemostatic agent Quickclean, notably enhancing the healing of full-thickness skin wounds in vivo by effectively preventing infection. These results underscore the potential of this innovative hemostatic material in diverse clinical scenarios, offering effective solutions for the management of bleeding in wounds that are irregularly shaped and noncompressible.

Abstract
Resistant starch type 3 (RS3), often found in cooked starchy food, has various health benefits due to its indigestible properties and physiological functions such as promoting the abundance of gut beneficial microbial flora and inhibiting the growth of intestinal pathogenic bacteria. However, it is challenging to develop starchy food with high RS3 content. This review aims to provide a detailed overview of current advancements to enhance RS3 content in starchy food and its effects of RS3 on gut microbiota. These approaches include breeding high-amylose cereals through gene editing techniques, processing, enzyme treatments, storage, formation of RS3 nanoparticles, and the incorporation of bioactive compounds. The mechanisms, specific conditions, advantages, and disadvantages associated with each approach and the potential effects of RS3 prepared by different methods on gut microbiota are summarized. In conclusion, this review contains important information that aims to provide guidelines for developing an efficient RS3 preparation process and promote the consumption of RS3-enriched starchy foods to improve overall health outcomes.

Abstract
Polysaccharide-functionalized gold nanoparticles (Polysaccharide-Au NPs) with high stability were successfully prepared by a straightforward method. Notably, the Au (III) ion acts as a strong Lewis acid to facilitate glycosidic bond breaking. Subsequently, the polysaccharide conformation was transformed to an open-chain form, exposing highly reduced aldehyde or ketone groups that reduce Au (III) to Au (0) crystal species, further growing into Au NPs. As-prepared Au NPs displayed excellent stability over a longer storage period (more than 70 days), a wide range of temperatures (25-60 °C), and pH range (3-11), varying concentrations (0-200 mM) and types of salt ions (Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+), and glutathione solutions (5 mM). More interestingly, polysaccharide-Au NPs retained the antioxidant activity of polysaccharides and reduced oxidative damage at the cellular level through decreased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. The intracellular levels of ROS pretreated with polysaccharide and polysaccharide-Au NPs were decreased 53.12-75.85 % compared to the H2O2 group, respectively. Therefore, the green synthesized Au NPs from natural active polysaccharides exhibit potential applications in biomedical fields.

Abstract
Molecular weight is one of the main characteristic parameters of proteins, which is the basis for the functional properties of milk protein. This research aims at establishing molecular weight distribution pattern of milk protein based on exclusion chromatography. The method selected Na3PO4-Na2SO4 (0.1 M, pH 6.7) buffer as the mobile phase and detected at 220 nm by HPLC-UV. The protein molecular weight distributions were determined and compared for human milk, bovine milk, and infant formula. The proportion of macromolecular proteins is much higher in infant formula compared to human or bovine milk. The protein molecular weights of human and bovine milk are significantly different around 90, 20, 14, and 2 kDa. The results provide holistic compare of bovine milk, human milk, and infant formula through protein molecular distribution. The new evaluation indicators for protein will drive technological simulation of infant formula.

Abstract
Polysaccharide-based gold nanomaterials have attracted great interest in biomedical fields such as cancer therapy and immunomodulation due to their prolonged residence time in vivo and enhanced immune response. This review aims to provide an up-to-date and comprehensive summary of polysaccharide-based Au NMs synthesis, including mechanisms, polysaccharide structure-effects, and anticancer activity. Firstly, research progress on the synthesis mechanism of polysaccharide-based Au NMs was addressed, which included three types based on the variety of polysaccharides and reaction environment: breaking of glycosidic bonds via Au (III) or base-mediated production of highly reduced intermediates, reduction of free hydroxyl groups in polysaccharide molecules, and reduction of free amino groups in polysaccharide molecules. Then, the potential effects of polysaccharide structure characteristics (molecular weight, composition of monosaccharides, functional groups, glycosidic bonds, and chain conformation) and reaction conditions (the reaction temperature, reaction time, pH, concentration of gold precursor and polysaccharides) on the size and shape of Au NMs were explored. Finally, the current status of polysaccharide-based Au NMs cancer therapy was summarized before reaching our conclusions and perspectives.

Abstract
Viral foodborne diseases cause serious harm to human health and the economy. Rapid, accurate, and convenient approaches for detecting foodborne viruses are crucial for preventing diseases. Biosensors integrating electrochemical and optical properties of nanomaterials have emerged as effective tools for the detection of viruses in foods. However, they still face several challenges, including substantial sample preparation and relatively poor sensitivity due to complex food matrices, which limit their field applications. Hence, the purpose of this review is to provide an overview of recent advances in biosensing techniques, including electrochemical, SERS-based, and colorimetric biosensors, for detecting viral particles in food samples, with emerging techniques for extraction/concentration of virus particles from food samples. Moreover, the principle, design, and advantages/disadvantages of each biosensing method are comprehensively described. This review covers the recent development of rapid and sensitive biosensors that can be used as new standards for monitoring food safety and food quality in the food industry.

Abstract
The effect of eight different l-amino acids (L-AA) on type-3 resistant starch particles (rSPs) derived from short chain glucan (SCG) was investigated. The L-AA were categorized based on their charge and polarity. The results reveal that positively charged L-AA, such as lysine and arginine, decreased the nucleation and growth rate of rSPs, while non-charged L-AA have negligible effects. Negatively charged L-AA, such as glutamic acid and aspartic acid, had a significant impact on the morphology and crystallinity of the rSPs, resulting in particle size of around 3 μm and crystallinity of around 35%. This implies that charged L-AA influence the arrangement of SCG double helices in the particles. Furthermore, the complexation of SCG with charged L-AA reduced the level of RS in rSPs, indicating that L-AA could be useful in modulating the physical properties and digestibility of rSPs.

Abstract
Resistant starch (RS) has emerged as a promising functional food ingredient. To improve the textural and sensory characteristics of RS, there need to be an effective approach to produce RS with well-defined size and shape. Here, we present a facile approach for the synthesis of highly uniform resistant starch nanoparticles (RSNP) based on recrystallization of short-chain glucan (SCG) originated from debranched starch. We found that the ratio of SCG to partially debranched amylopectin was a key parameter in regulating the morphology, size, and crystallinity of the nanoparticles, which enable us to prepare highly uniform RSNP with an average diameter of around 150 nm, while showing a good colloidal stability over a broad range of pH (2-10). Moreover, the in-vitro digestibility and RS content of RSNP was not affected over the ten successive cycles of assembly and disassembly, which would provide useful insights for the development of RS-based functional food ingredients.

Abstract
This study characterized the blends of corn starch with potato amylopectin (PAP) and PAP hydrolysates treated with branching enzyme (BR), pullulanase (PL), and BR-BL cocktail. PAP/PAP hydrolysates were deposited or bound (particularly in intact and PL-treated PAPs) on the surfaces of corn starch granules. Although PAP/PAP hydrolysates rarely affect the X-ray diffraction patterns of the blends, their relative crystallinities decreased. Relative to native starches, the swelling power was higher for all blends. Solubility was higher for normal starch-based blends but lower for waxy starch-based blends. All blends exhibited higher gelatinization temperatures and lower gelatinization enthalpies. Although the pasting viscosities of blends with intact PAP were higher than those of native starches, the opposite trends were found in blends with BR-, PL-, and BR-PL cocktail-treated PAPs. Overall, the PAP structures diversified the characteristics of the corn starch-PAP blends. BR- and BR-PL cocktail-treated PAPs could function as stabilizers for stable paste consistency.

Abstract
Herein, we report a colorimetric sensing system for the detection of highly virulent bacteria, Escherichiacoli O157:H7, in sausage by utilizing magnetic separation and enzyme-mediated signal amplification on paper disc. For magnetic separation, Poly-l-lysine coated starch magnetic particles (PLL@SMPs) were synthesized and utilized for the separation and concentration of the bacteria in sample suspension. Horseradish peroxidase-conjugated antibody (HRP-Antibody) and 3,3',5,5'- tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) were employed for the specific signal amplification in the presence of target bacteria. The synthesized PLL@SMPs showed an excellent capture efficiency (>90%) for the pathogenic bacteria in large volume sample suspension. The intrinsic problems associated with the non-specific binding of sensing components that lead to the high background signal and low sensitivity in colorimetric detection was successfully resolved by employing hyaluronic acid as a blocking agent. The effective separation and concentration of target bacteria by PLL@SMPs and target-specific signal amplification with exceptionally high signal to noise ratio enabled the detection of target bacteria with a detection limit in the single digit regime. The sensing system proposed in this study was successfully used for the detection of the target pathogenic bacteria, E. coli O157:H7, in sausage sample with the limit of detection (LOD) as low as 30.8 CFU/mL with 95% probability. The simple nature of paper-based detection system with a great sensitivity and specificity would provide an effective means of evaluating the safety of food and environmental samples.
