Structural changes of rice starch-anthocyanins complexes (V-type) and its impact on gut microbiotas and potential metabolic pathways during in vitro fermentation. Food Chem 2024; 448:139064. [PMID: 38547705 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139064] [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: 12/28/2023] [Revised: 03/01/2024] [Accepted: 03/15/2024] [Indexed: 04/24/2024]
Abstract
This study explored the differences in the in vitro fermentation properties of rice starch (RS) and rice starch-anthocyanins complexes (RS-A). Structural characterization suggested that RS and RS-A complexes showed a V-type crystalline structure. The degree of order (DO) and degree of double helix (DD) values of RS and RS-A complexes were enhanced after fermentation. Moreover, the RS-A complexes could improve the relative abundance of Bacteroidetes, Ruminococcaceae, and up-regulate gut microbiota diversity to maintain gut homeostasis. Relative abundance of potential metabolic pathways, such as energy metabolism, digestion system, and carbohydrate degradation overexpressed in the presence of RS-A complexes. The results demonstrated that the RS-A complexes had slower fermentation rates contributing to the transport of the formed short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) to the end of the colon and that the crystallinity might be a factor influencing the utilization of the starch matrix by the gut microbiota for SCFA formation.

Abstract
Starch, lipids, and proteins are essential biological macromolecules that play a crucial role in providing energy and nutrition to our bodies. Interactions between these macromolecules have been shown to impact starch digestibility. Understanding and controlling starch digestibility is a key area of research. Investigating the mechanisms behind the interactions of these three components and their influence on starch digestibility is of significant practical importance. Moreover, these interactions can result in the formation of resistant starch, which can be fermented by gut microbiota in the colon, leading to various health benefits. While current research has predominantly focused on the digestive properties of starch in the small intestine, there is a notable gap in understanding the colonic microbial fermentation phase of resistant starch. The benefits of fermentation of resistant starch in the colon may outweigh its glucose-lowering effect in the small intestine. Thus, it is crucial to study the fermentation behavior of resistant starch in the colon. This paper investigates the impact of interactions among starch, lipids, and proteins on starch digestion, with a specific focus on the fermentation phase of indigestible carbohydrates in the colon. Furthermore, valuable insights are offered for guiding future research endeavors.

Comparative study on the structure characterization and activity of RS5 made from Canna edulis native starch and high-amylose corn starch. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 271:132340. [PMID: 38816293 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132340] [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: 01/09/2024] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/11/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024]
Abstract
In this study, the high amylose corn starch and Canna edulis native starch were compounded with lauric acid and fermented by human fecal inoculation in vitro. Changes in beneficial metabolite profile and microbiota composition were evaluated. The structural properties showed that both NS-12C and HAMS-12C formed V-shaped crystals under the same preparation method, but NS-12C had a higher composite index and resistance content than HAMS-12C. At the end of fermentation, the starch-lauric acid complexes prepared from the two types of starch significantly promoted the formation of short-chain fatty acids and the contents of acetic acid, butyric acid and valeric acid produced by NS-12C were higher than those of HAMS-12C(p>0.05). HAMS-12C and NS-12C both increased the relative abundance of Blautia. Notably, NS-12C also increased the relative abundance of beneficial bacteria Bifidobacterium and Meganomas, while HAMS-12C did not. These results suggested that this effect may be related to starch type and provide a basis for designing and producing functional foods to improve intestinal health in Canna edulis native starch.

Molecular modulating of amylopectin's structure promoted the formation of starch-unsaturated fatty acids complexes with controlled digestibility and improved stability to oxidation. Food Chem 2024; 441:138280. [PMID: 38176139 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.138280] [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: 09/07/2023] [Revised: 12/16/2023] [Accepted: 12/23/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2024]
Abstract
In this study, waxy corn starch (WCS) was modified by amylosucrase and pullulanase, producing linear starch chains with elongated length that favored the complexation with unsaturated fatty acids (uFAs). Compared to native WCS, the amylosucrase-modified WCS with an average chain length of 47.8 was easier to form V-type complexes with oleic acid, while increasing the degree of unsaturation impeded the formation of V-type complexes. The pullulanase treatment hydrolyzed the branching points of amylosucrase-modified WCS and the linear starch chains could forme V-type complexes with oleic acid, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid, with V-type crystallinity decreasing from 38.2 % to 20.1 %. V-type complexes had a lower thermal stability than the B-type starch crystallites, and their peak melting temperature ranged from 67.2 to 79.0 °C. The content of resistant starch in the complexes was in the range of 21.8 %-40.9 % and the formation of V-type complexes decreased the susceptibility of uFAs to oxygen.

Structure properties of Canna edulis RS3 (double enzyme hydrolysis) and RS4 (OS-starch and cross-linked starch): Influence on fermentation products and human gut microbiota. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 265:130700. [PMID: 38458281 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130700] [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: 10/31/2023] [Revised: 02/05/2024] [Accepted: 03/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/10/2024]
Abstract
This study investigated the in vitro fermentation characteristics of different structural types of Canna edulis resistant starch (RS). RS3 was prepared through a double enzyme hydrolysis method, and RS4 (OS-starch and cross-linked starch) was prepared using octenyl succinic anhydride and sodium trimetaphosphate/sodium tripolyphosphate, respectively. The RS3 and RS4 samples were structurally analyzed using scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray diffraction analysis. This was followed by in vitro fermentation experiments. The results revealed microstructure differences in the two groups of starch samples. Compared to native starch, RS3 and RS4 exhibited a lower degree of order and endothermic energy, with lower crystallinity (RS3: 29.59 ± 1.11 %; RS4 [OS-starch]: 28.01 ± 1.32 %; RS4 [cross-linked starch]: 30.44 ± 1.73 %) than that in native starch (36.29 ± 0.89 %). The RS content was higher in RS3 (63.40 ± 2.85 %) and RS4 (OS-starch: 71.21 ± 1.28 %; cross-linked starch: 74.33 ± 0.643 %) than in native starch (57.71 ± 2.95 %). RS3 and RS4 exhibited slow fermentation rates, promoting the production of short-chain fatty acids. RS3 and cross-linked starch significantly increased the production of acetate and butyrate. Moreover, RS3 significantly promoted the abundance of Lactobacillus, while OS-starch and cross-linked starch significantly enhanced the abundance of Dorea and Coprococcus, respectively. Hence, the morphological structure and RS content of the samples greatly influenced the fermentation rate. Moreover, the different varieties of RS induced specific gut microbial regulation. Hence, they show potential applications in functional foods for tailored gut microbiota management.

Abstract
Previously, we found that whey proteins form biomolecular coronas around titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles. Here, the gastrointestinal fate of whey protein-coated TiO2 nanoparticles and their interactions with gut microbiota were investigated. The antioxidant activity of protein-coated nanoparticles was enhanced after simulated digestion. The structure of the whey proteins was changed after they adsorbed to the surfaces of the TiO2 nanoparticles, which reduced their hydrolysis under simulated gastrointestinal conditions. The presence of protein coronas also regulated the impact of the TiO2 nanoparticles on colonic fermentation, including promoting the production of short-chain fatty acids. Bare TiO2 nanoparticles significantly increased the proportion of harmful bacteria and decreased the proportion of beneficial bacteria, but the presence of protein coronas alleviated this effect. In particular, the proportion of beneficial bacteria, such as Bacteroides and Bifidobacterium, was enhanced for the coated nanoparticles. Our results suggest that the formation of a whey protein corona around TiO2 nanoparticles may have beneficial effects on their behavior within the colon. This study provides valuable new insights into the potential impact of protein coronas on the gastrointestinal fate of inorganic nanoparticles.

Amylose content controls the V-type structural formation and in vitro digestibility of maize starch-resveratrol complexes and their effect on human gut microbiota. Carbohydr Polym 2024; 327:121702.

Abstract
The chain structure of starch affects its interaction with polyphenol molecules which in turn determines the nutritional function of starch. In this study, starch with different amylose content including waxy maize starch (WMS), normal maize starch (NMS) and G50 high-amylose maize starch (G50) were selected to complex with resveratrol (RA) in high-pressure homogenization (HPH) environment, and structural changes of the complexes, together with their effects on in vitro digestibility and gut microbiota were discussed. The results showed that with increasing amylose content, RA could form more inclusion complex with starch through non-covalent bonds accompanied by the increased single helix structure, V-type crystalline structure, compact nano-aggregates and total ordered structure content, which thus endowed the complex lower digestibility and intestinal probiotic function. Notably, when RA addition reached 3 %, the resistant starch (RS) content of HP-G50-3 % rose to 29.2 %, correspondingly increased the relative abundance of beneficial gut microbiota such as Megamonas and Bifidobacterium, as well as the total short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) content. Correlation analysis showed that V-type crystalline structure positively correlated with the growth of Pediococcu and Blautia (p < 0.05) for producing SCFAs. These findings provided feasible ideas for the development of personalized nutritional starch-based foods.

Abstract
This study investigated the structural and functional characteristics of two different molecular weight persimmon pectin extracted from unripe persimmon (PP-1) and ripe persimmon (PP-2). The molecular weight was determined as 117.8 kDa and 61.3 kDa for PP-1 and PP-2, which consisting of glucose, rhamnose, mannose, galactose, and xylose. AFM results indicated PP-1 with many linear chains, and short chains in while short chains, branching points, and heterogeneous clumps were found in PP-2.Emulsion characterization and storage stability experiments revealed that PP-1 with more stable emulsifying properties than PP-2 and commercial citrus pectin. In vitro fermentation of PP-1 and PP-2 by gut microbiota indicated that PP-1 and PP-2 groups were higher than inulin group in total SCFAs production after 48 h of fermentation. This study provided useful information for high value utilization of persimmon pectin.

A Comprehensive Review of the Effects of Glycemic Carbohydrates on the Neurocognitive Functions Based on Gut Microenvironment Regulation and Glycemic Fluctuation Control. Nutrients 2023; 15:5080.

Abstract
Improper glycemic carbohydrates (GCs) consumption can be a potential risk factor for metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes, which may lead to cognitive impairment. Although several potential mechanisms have been studied, the biological relationship between carbohydrate consumption and neurocognitive impairment is still uncertain. In this review, the main effects and mechanisms of GCs' digestive characteristics on cognitive functions are comprehensively elucidated. Additionally, healthier carbohydrate selection, a reliable research model, and future directions are discussed. Individuals in their early and late lives and patients with metabolic diseases are highly susceptible to dietary-induced cognitive impairment. It is well known that gut function is closely related to dietary patterns. Unhealthy carbohydrate diet-induced gut microenvironment disorders negatively impact cognitive functions through the gut-brain axis. Moreover, severe glycemic fluctuations, due to rapidly digestible carbohydrate consumption or metabolic diseases, can impair neurocognitive functions by disrupting glucose metabolism, dysregulating calcium homeostasis, oxidative stress, inflammatory responses, and accumulating advanced glycation end products. Unstable glycemic status can lead to more severe neurological impairment than persistent hyperglycemia. Slow-digested or resistant carbohydrates might contribute to better neurocognitive functions due to stable glycemic response and healthier gut functions than fully gelatinized starch and nutritive sugars.

NPJ Sci Food 2023; 7:56.

Abstract
In this study, two rice varieties (RS4 and GZ93) with different amylose and lipid contents were studied, and their starch was used to prepare starch-palmitic acid complexes. The RS4 samples showed a significantly higher lipid content in their flour, starch, and complex samples compared to GZ93. The static in vitro digestion highlighted that RS4 samples had significantly lower digestibility than the GZ93 samples. The C∞ of the starch-lipid complex samples was found to be 17.7% and 18.5% lower than that of the starch samples in GZ93 and RS4, respectively. The INFOGEST undigested fractions were subsequently used for in vitro colonic fermentation. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) concentrations, mainly acetate, and propionate were significantly higher in starch-lipid complexes compared to native flour or starch samples. Starch-lipid complexes produced a distinctive microbial composition, which resulted in different gene functions, mainly related to pyruvate, fructose, and mannose metabolism. Using Model-based Integration of Metabolite Observations and Species Abundances 2 (MIMOSA2), SCFA production was predicted and associated with the gut microbiota. These results indicated that incorporating lipids into rice starch promotes SCFA production by modulating the gut microbiota selectively.

Abstract
Fermentation of resistant starch from the starch-ferulic acid inclusion complex, one representative of the starch-polyphenol inclusion complex, was investigated in this study. It was found that this complex-based resistant starch, high-amylose corn starch and the mixture of ferulic acid and high-amylose corn starch were mainly utilized at the initial 6 h as indicated by the gas production and pH. Besides, the supplement of high-amylose corn starch, the mixture and the complex promoted production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), reduced the ratio of Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes (F/B) and selectively stimulated the proliferation of some beneficial bacteria. Specifically, the production of SCFAs in the control and high-amylose starch, mixture and complex groups was 29.33 mM, 140.82 mM, 144.12 mM, and 167.4 mM after fermentation for 48 h, respectively. Moreover, the F/B ratio of those groups was 1.78, 0.78, 0.8 and 0.69, respectively. These results suggested that the supplement of the complex-based resistant starch led to the most SCFAs and the lowest F/B ratio (P < 0.05). Moreover, the complex group had the largest abundance of beneficial bacteria, including Bacteroides, Bifidobacterium and Lachnospiraceae_UCG-001 (P < 0.05). In summary, the resistant starch from the starch-ferulic acid inclusion complex exhibited stronger prebiotic activity than high-amylose corn starch and the mixture.

Abstract
To obtain the relation between rice starch features and fermentation characteristics, rice starches with various polymorphic types and apparent amylose contents were subjected to in vitro fecal fermentation. Gas and short-chain fatty acid production was evaluated as a function of fermentation time, and the microbial responses were monitored by 16S rRNA sequencing technique at the end of fermentation. Regardless of polymorphic type, three high-amylose mutant rice starches (i.e., GM03, A-type; BP577, B-type; Wx21TT, C-type) displayed significantly slower fermentation rate during the first 12 h and higher final butyrate yield (17.6-17.9 mM) compared to the A-type normal starches (9311 and Wx22TT), and promoted the proliferation of Roseburia. However, A-type normal rice starches presented higher propionate production, and increased the growth of Bacteroides and Megamonas. The principal component and redundancy analyses indicated that three high-amylose mutant rice starches showed similar abundance and migration of microbial communities, and the apparent amylose content was closely correlated with the abundance of their five key amplicon sequence variants. Our results demonstrated that amylose content might be a controlling factor in determining the fermentation properties of rice starches than crystalline structure.

Abstract
The demand for multicomponent foods to meet human energy and nutritional needs has been increasing; however, few studies have addressed the theoretical basis for their preparation. We investigated the effect of the nanoscale polymerization index (DPw) of amylose on the logarithm of slope plot-based kinetics and the mechanism of digestion of starch-lauric acid-β-lactoglobulin protein complexes. Amylose from each of the five Chinese seedless breadfruit species was mixed with breadfruit amylopectin with the highest resistant starch (RS) content to form starch ternary complexes with various amylose DPws. All five complexes exhibited V-type crystalline diffraction and rod-like molecular configuration. Characteristic X-ray diffraction peaks and Fourier transform-infrared spectra of the ternary complexes revealed similar molecular configurations. As the amylose DPw increased, the complexing index, relative crystallinity, short-range order, weight-average molar mass, molecular density index, gelatinization temperature, decomposition temperature, RS, slowly digestible starch (SDS), and speed rate constants at the second hydrolysis stage (k2) increased, whereas the semicrystalline lamellae thickness, mass fractal structure parameter, average characteristic crystallite unit length, radius of gyration, fractal dimension and cavities of granule surface microstructure, final viscosity, interval speed rate from SDS to RS, equilibrium concentration, and glycemic index decreased. The digestion kinetics exhibited highly significant variation according to the physiochemical properties and multiscale supramolecular structure (r > 0.99 or r < -0.99, p < 0.01). Together, these results identify amylose DPw as an important structural factor that markedly affects the kinetics and mechanism of ternary complex digestion and provide a new theoretical direction for the production of starch-based multicomponent foods.

Sodium alginate edible coating to reduce oil absorption of French fries with maintaining overall acceptability: Based on a water replacement mechanism. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 236:124042.

Abstract
The effect of sodium alginate (SA) coating on the oil content and quality of fries was evaluated, and the inhibitory mechanism of SA on oil absorption was analyzed based on the water replacement theory. Compared to uncoated samples, the penetrated surface oil (PSO), structure oil (STO), and total oil (TO) contents, a*, and b* of coated fries decreased, whereas moisture content, L* and hardness increased with no significant difference revealed by sensory evaluation of all samples. The water contact angle of the films correlated negatively with the water content and hardness of the fries. In contrast, it correlated positively with PSO, STO, and TO contents. The TO content of fries with 1 % SA film which had a compact microstructure, was the lowest, reduced by 52.5 % compared to the control sample. SA coating reduces the pores and roughness on the fries' surface, which inhibits the oil from penetrating into the samples. SA coating decreased the T21, T22, and pores of the starch, and increased the P2b, P21, relative crystallinity, and ΔH significantly (P < 0.05). Therefore, SA coating inhibits the oil absorption in fries by reducing water evaporation which is attributed to the increase in double helices and crystallinity of starch.

Abstract
Starch cryogel is a potential material for oil absorption. This study provided a facile and convenient polyelectrolyte-based preparation strategy of starch cryogel, in which the structural properties of the cryogel were regulated by amylose content and pre-freezing without long-time retrogradation. Sodium laurate was used as a guest model to form starch-fatty acid salt complex (polyelectrolyte). The amount of amylose content and sodium laurate added led more polyelectrolytes, significantly increased V-type crystallinity from 3.72 % to 22.40 % and complexing index from 4.32 % to 28.48 %. As the uniform pore structure improved the oil absorption ability of starch cryogel, the starch cryogel prepared by waxy maize starch followed by quick pre-freezing showed the highest specific surface area (9.87 m2/g) and oil absorption capacity (32.94 g/g). Our findings suggest that polyelectrolyte properties have great potential in the preparation of starch-based cryogels, which could be applied in the design of novel starch-based porous materials.

Abstract
Intact cells, as the smallest unit of whole foods, were isolated from three legume crops and fermented with human faecal inoculum to elucidate the effect of food macro-nutrients compositional difference (starch, proteins and lipids) on in vitro colonic fermentation profiles. After 48 h of fermentation, the highest production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) were observed for the pea cells, abundance in starch (64.9 %, db). In contrast, branch chain fatty acids (BCFAs) were the major metabolites for protein-enriched soybean cells (protein content 56.9 %, db). The peanut cells rich in lipids (49.2 %, db) has the lowest fermentation rate among the three varieties. Correspondingly, pea cells favoured the growth of Bifidobacterium, whereas soybean and peanut cells promoted an abundance of Bacteroides and Shigella, respectively. Furthermore, except the intact pea cells promoting the abundance of butyrate producer Roseburia, a similar fermentation pattern was found between intact and broken cells suggesting that macro-nutrient types, rather than structure, dominate the production of metabolites in colonic fermentation. The findings elucidate how the food compositional difference can modulate the gut microbiome and thus provide the knowledge to design whole food legumes-based functional foods.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The structural and digestion properties of starch-lipid complexes are closely related to the properties of lipids. The chain length and degree of unsaturation of fatty acids (FAs), which can affect the structural and digestion properties of starch-lipid nanocomplexes, therefore need to be examined in detail to gain a better understanding of this. In this study, the effects of chain length (10-18 carbons) and degree of unsaturation (0-2) of FA on the structural and in vitro starch digestion properties of high amylose corn starch (HAS)-FA nanocomplexes were investigated, as was the correlation between their structural alterations and digestibility. RESULTS This study showed that HAS-FA nanocomplexes with 10-carbon (38.55%) and 12-carbon (44.56%) FAs displayed high-resistant starch (RS) and slowly digestible starch (SDS) content, whereas those with 18-carbon FAs with two double bonds exhibited low RS + SDS content (23.41%). The complexing index, R1047/1022 , relative crystallinity, and enthalpy change in the HAS-FA nanocomplexes also increased with the reduction in the chain length (except for 10-carbon FA) and the degree of unsaturation of FAs, whereas the equilibrium hydrolysis percentage, kinetic constant and apparent amylose content showed an opposite trend. CONCLUSION Chain length and degree of unsaturation of FAs affected the digestibility of HAS-FA nanocomplexes. The HAS-FA nanocomplexes with 12-carbon FAs displayed high RS + SDS content with higher degrees of molecular order at long-range and short-range levels. Results provided guidelines to regulate the digestibility of starch-fatty acid nanocomplexes by varying the FA structures. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Rice is the main staple food for a large population around the world, while it generally has a high glycemic index and low resistant starch (RS) content. Although many strategies have been applied to develop healthier rice products with increased RS contents, their actual effects on gut microbiota and human health remain elusive. In this review, currently available production methods of rice RS are briefly summarized, followed by a critical discussion on their interactions with gut microbiota and subsequent effects on human health, from correlation implications to causal mechanisms. Different contents, types, and structures of RS have been produced by strategies such as genetic manipulation and controlling cooking conditions. The difference can largely determine effects of rice RS on gut microbiota composition and metabolites by specific RS-gut microbiota interactions. This review can thus help the rice industry develop rice products with desirable RS contents and structures to generally improve human health.

Variations in the Multilevel Structure, Gelatinization and Digestibility of Litchi Seed Starches from Different Varieties. Foods 2022; 11:foods11182821. [PMID: 36140947 PMCID: PMC9497979 DOI: 10.3390/foods11182821] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2022] [Revised: 08/31/2022] [Accepted: 09/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Litchi seed starches from six varieties, as compared with maize starch, were studied for their multilevel structures, thermal and digestion properties to understand the distinct feather of each variety and provide guidance for their utilization in multi-industries. The results showed different varieties of litchi seed starch shared similar appearances with granules in oval shape and with a smooth surface. Starch granules of all the varieties exhibited typical bimodal size distributions consisting of small (<40 μm) and large granules (40−110 μm), although their relative proportions were largely dependent on variety. Huaizhi had the largest D50 value, whilst Guiwei showed the lowest. All the litchi seed starches had A-type crystalline with relative crystallinity varying from 20.67% (Huaizhi) to 26.76% (Guiwei). Similarly, the semi-crystalline structure varied apparently with variety. As to the chain-length distribution, only slight differences were observed among varieties, except Huaizhi displayed apparently higher amylose content (34.3%) and Guiwei showed the lowest (23.6%). Significant differences were also present in the gelatinization properties. Huaizhi seed starch showed significantly higher gelatinization temperatures and lower enthalpy change than the others. The digestibility of cooked litchi seed starches was only slightly different among varieties, suggesting variety is not the most critical factor regulating the digestibility of cooked litchi seed starch.

Abstract
A challenge in the study of gastrointestinal microbiota (GITm) is the validation of the genomic data with metabolic studies of the microbial communities to understand how the microbial networks work during health and sickness. To gain insights into the metabolism of the GITm, feces from healthy and sick rats with cancer were inoculated in a defined synthetic medium directed for anaerobic prokaryote growth (INC-07 medium). Significant differences between cultures of healthy and sick individuals were found: 1) the consumption of the carbon source and the enzyme activity involved in their catabolism (e.g., sucrase, lactase, lipases, aminotransferases, and dehydrogenases); 2) higher excretion of acetic, propionic, isobutyric, butyric, valeric, and isovaleric acids; 3) methane production; 4) ability to form biofilms; and 5) up to 500 amplicon sequencing variants (ASVs) identified showed different diversity and abundance. Moreover, the bowel inflammation induced by cancer triggered oxidative stress, which correlated with deficient antioxidant machinery (e.g., NADPH-producing enzymes) determined in the GITm cultures from sick individuals in comparison with those from control individuals. Altogether, the data suggested that to preserve the microbial network between bacteria and methanogenic archaea, a complete oxidation of the carbon source may be essential for healthy microbiota. The correlation of 16S rRNA gene metabarcoding between cultures and feces, as well as metabolomic data found in cultures, suggest that INC-07 medium may be a useful tool to understand the metabolism of microbiota under gut conditions.

Abstract
Due to the potential reduction in starch availability, as well as the production of the distinct physico-chemical characteristics of starch in order to improve health benefits, the formation of starch–lipid complexes has attracted significant attention for improving the quantity of resistant starch (RS) content in starchy-based foods. The purpose of this research was to apply ultrasonication to produce intermediate amylose rice (Oryza sativa L.) cv. Noui Khuea (NK) starch–fatty acid (FA) complexes. The effects of ultrasonically synthesized conditions (ultrasonic time, ultrasonic amplitude, FA chain length) on the complexing index (CI) and in vitro digestibility of the starch–FA complex were highlighted. The optimum conditions were 7.5% butyric acid with 20% amplitude for 30 min, as indicated by a high CI and RS contents. The ultrasonically treated starch–butyric complex had the highest RS content of 80.78% with a V-type XRD pattern and an additional FTIR peak at 1709 cm−1. The increase in the water/oil absorption capacity and swelling index were observed in the starch–lipid complex. The pasting viscosity and pasting/melting temperatures were lower than those of native starch, despite the fact that it had a distinct morphological structure with a high proportion of flaky and grooved forms. The complexes were capable of binding bile acid, scavenging the DPPH radical, and stimulating the bifidobacterial proliferation better than native starch, which differed depending on the FA inclusion. Therefore, developing a rice starch–lipid complex can be achieved via ultrasonication.

Abstract
Current definition of resistant starch (RS) types is largely based on their interactions with digestive enzymes from human upper gastrointestinal tract. However, this is frequently inadequate to reflect their effects on the gut microbiota, which is an important mechanism for RS to fulfill its function to improve human health. Distinct shifts of gut microbiota compositions and alterations of fermented metabolites could be resulted by the consumption of RS from the same type. This review summarized these defects from the current definitions of RS types, while more importantly proposed pioneering concepts for new definitions of RS types from the gut microbiota perspectives. New RS types considered the aspects of RS fermentation rate, fermentation end products, specificity toward gut microbiota and shifts of gut microbiota caused by the consumption of RS. These definitions were depending on the known outcomes from RS-gut microbiota interactions. The application of new RS types in understanding the complex RS-gut microbiota interactions and promoting human health should be focused in the future.

Abstract
Non-crystalline granular starch (NCGS) has advantages in the deep processing of starch owing to its unique structure and function. In this study, NCGS was successfully prepared at a baking temperature of 210 °C, and the morphology, structure, pasting properties, and rheological properties of the NCGS were systematically studied. Compared with native starch, NCGS showed a lower processing viscosity and rapid reduction in the peak viscosity from 3795 to 147 cP. Furthermore, NCGS exhibited impaired short- and long-range ordered structures, as indicated by the lower ratio of absorbance at 1047/1015 cm-1 and decreased crystallinity compared to native starch. Additionally, amylose and amylopectin with long and medium chains in NCGS were degraded into short chains, resulting in an increase in amylose content and branch density. The analysis of the physicochemical properties of NCGS, especially the low processing viscosity, is of great importance for the industrial application of starch, particularly in terms of improving the yield, saving energy, and reducing environmental pollution.

Abstract
Liver glycogen α particles in diabetic patients are fragile relative to those in healthy individuals, and restoring these fragile glycogen particles to a normal state shows potential to contribute to the remission of diabetes. Resistant starch (RS) is beneficial for diabetes management through its interactions with the gut microbiota. However, its effects on glycogen fragility are not fully understood. This review aims to summarize the recent understanding of the interactions between RS and the human gut microbiota and the possible connections to liver glycogen biosynthesis to elucidate its role in the development of glycogen fragility. RS might regulate glycogen fragility in diabetes by modulating the postprandial glycemic response and glycogen biosynthesis pathways. Before RS can be applied to repair fragile glycogen, more work should be done to better understand in vivo RS structures and identify the factor binding glycogen β particles together. This review contains important information on the connections between glycogen fragility and RS-gut microbiota interactions, which could help to better understand the health benefits of RS consumption.

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.
