JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2024. [PMID: 39056229 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.13766] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2023] [Revised: 06/07/2024] [Accepted: 07/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The preparation of malic acid starch ester (MSE) is mostly carried out using a high temperature method, but there are problems such as high energy consumption, long preparation time, and uneven heating. Microwave technology can be used to overcome these limitations. The semi-crystalline structure of starch granules hinders the modifier's access to the matrix, thus limiting the esterification reaction. Physical techniques can act on the interior of the starch to create a number of active sites, thereby facilitating the reaction of the starch with esterification reagents. Therefore, this study investigated the effect of starch pretreatment by microwave, heat-moisture, and ultrasonic techniques on the degree of substitution (DS), structure, and physicochemical properties of MSE synthesized by the microwave method. RESULTS The DS of MSE was increased after pretreatments. The modified starch obtained by different pretreatment methods did not show new characteristic peaks, while the MSE synthesized showed new absorption peaks near 1735 cm-1. The granular structure and morphology of the modified starch obtained by microwave and heat-moisture pretreatment were gelatinized and aggregated, while some of the starch particles of the modified starch obtained by ultrasonic pretreatment appeared pore-sized. The relative crystallinity and gelatinization enthalpy of the MSE were reduced, but the crystallization pattern remained as A-type. CONCLUSION Overall, the results suggest that various pretreatment methods can enhance the DS of MSE by disrupting the structure of starch. The findings of this study provide theoretical support for improving the DS of esterified starch. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Effects of microwave radiation on the physicochemical properties, structure, and digestibility of the synthesized different crystal forms of malic acid starch ester. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 263:130236. [PMID: 38367786 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130236] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2023] [Revised: 02/03/2024] [Accepted: 02/14/2024] [Indexed: 02/19/2024]
Abstract
The effects of microwave combined with L-malic acid treatment on the degree of substitution (DS), structure, physicochemical properties, and digestibility of sweet potato starch (A-type), potato starch (B-type), and pea starch (C-type) were evaluated. The order of DS obtained was: DSM-POS > DSM-SPS > DSM-PES. Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) showed that the obtained modified starch produced a new absorption band at 1735 cm-1. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and polarized light microscopy indicated that different types of native starches exhibited different granular morphologies and appeared to have different degrees of damage, but still had polarized crosses after modification. Sweet potato starch had the smallest particle size, while potato starch had the largest. X-ray diffractometry (XRD) showed that the modified starches still retained the same crystal structure as the native starches, but the relative crystallinity decreased. The apparent viscosity and swelling power of modified starches dropped, but their water/oil holding capacity, amylose content, and resistant starch content all increased. The results demonstrate that the degree of influence on the structure, physicochemical properties, and digestibility of different starches varies under the same modification conditions.

Abstract
Filtrate reducer is a drilling fluid additive that can effectively control the filtration loss of drilling fluid to ensure the safe and efficient exploitation of oilfields. It is the most widely used treatment agent in oilfields. Due to its moderate conditions and controllable procedure, alkaline hydrolysis of high-purity waste polyacrylonitrile has been utilized for decades to produce filtrate reducer on a large scale in oilfields. However, the issues of long hydrolysis time, high viscosity of semi-finished products, high drying cost, and tail gas pollution have constrained the development of the industry. In this study, low-purity waste acrylic fiber was first separated and purified using high-temperature hydroplastization, and the hydrolyzed product was obtained using alkaline hydrolysis with the micro-water method, which was called MW-HPAN. The hydrolysis reaction was characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis, and the elemental analysis showed a hydrolysis degree of 73.21%. The experimental results showed that after aging at 180 °C for 16 h, the filtration volume of the freshwater base slurry with 0.30% dosage and 4% brine base slurry with 1.20% dosage was 12.7 mL and 18.5 mL, respectively. The microstructure and particle size analysis of the drilling fluid gel system showed that MW-HPAN could prevent the agglomeration of clay and maintain a reasonable particle size distribution even under the combined deteriorating effect of high temperature and inorganic cations, thus forming a dense filter cake and achieving a low filtrate volume of the drilling fluid gel system. Compared with similar commercially available products, MW-HPAN has better resistance to temperature and salt in drilling fluid gel systems, and the novel preparation method is promising to be extended to practical production.
