Ma S, Jiang H. The effect of cold plasma on starch: Structure and performance. Carbohydr Polym 2024; 340:122254. [PMID: 38857998 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.122254] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2024] [Revised: 04/26/2024] [Accepted: 05/09/2024] [Indexed: 06/12/2024]
Abstract
The inherent side effects of the physico-chemical properties of native starches often severely limit their use in food and non-food industries. Plasma is a non-thermal technology that allows rapid improvement of functional properties. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the sources and mechanisms of action of cold plasma and assesses its effects on starch morphology, crystal structure, molecular chain structure and physicochemical properties. The complex relationship between structure and function of plasma-treated starch is also explored. Potential applications of plasma-modified starch are also discussed in detail. The outcome of the modification process is influenced by factors such as starch type and concentration, plasma source, intensity and duration. The properties of starch can be effectively optimised using plasma technology. Plasma-based technologies therefore have the potential to modify starch to create a range of functionalities to meet the growing market demand for clean label ingredients.

[PMID: 38763668 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2024.114418] [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: 02/16/2024] [Revised: 04/21/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/21/2024]
Abstract
Interest in exploring alternative starch sources like finger millet is rising due to wide starch applications. However, native starch often lacks desired qualities, including rheological properties. Modification is thus necessary for specific end uses. Plasma treatment as a greener and sustainable method for starch modification was therefore, studied for its ability to impact rheological properties of finger millet starch (FMS). Considerable changes in the rheological properties on FMS was noted, a significant decrease and increase (p < 0.05) in the peak viscosity (from 3.35 to 0.553 Pa.s) and paste clarity respectively was observed, indicating occurrence of depolymerization. However, intermediate plasma-treated samples (200 V) observed a decrease in paste clarity attributed to aggregate formation and cross-linking. Cross-linking was also confirmed by findings of frequency sweep where a continuous decrease in G' values of plasma treated FMS gel was interrupted by sudden increase. Despite depolymerization causing alteration of rheological behaviour such as decrease in shear thinning properties, gel strength observed a contradictory increase. This was attributed to incorporation of functional group and absence of shear responsible for network formation giving higher gel strength to FMS gels. This is elaborated in detail in the study. The study thus concluded that cold plasma significantly impacted all the rheological properties of the FMS and hence can prove to be beneficial for modification of starch rheological parameters.

Abstract
Current research on maize germination suffers from long sampling intervals, and the relationship between the starch structure and the processing properties of flour in maize is still unclear. This study observed the effect of germination on the structure and composition of maize starch and the processing properties of maize flour over a 72 h period using a short interval sampling method. At 36 h, the short-range ordered structure, crystallinity, and enthalpy of starch reached the highest values of 1.02, 34.30%, and 9.90 J/g, respectively. At 72 h, the ratios of rapidly-digested starch (RDS) and slowly-digested starch (SDS) enhanced to 29.37% and 28.97%; the RS content reduced to 35.37%; and the flow properties of the starch were improved. This study enhances the understanding of the effects of germination on the processing properties of maize starch and flour, determines the appropriate application, and recommends the use of germination in the food industry.

Enhancing starch functionality through synergistic modification via sequential treatments with cold plasma and electron beam irradiation. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 270:132346. [PMID: 38750859 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132346] [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: 02/26/2024] [Revised: 05/10/2024] [Accepted: 05/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/19/2024]
Abstract
The impact of dual sequential modifications using radio-frequency (RF) plasma and electron beam irradiation (EBI) on starch properties was investigated and compared with single treatments within an irradiation dose range of 5-20 kGy. Regardless of sequence, dual treatments synergistically affected starch properties, increasing acidity, solubility, and paste clarity, while decreasing rheological features with increasing irradiation dose. The molecular weight distribution was also synergistically influenced. Amylopectin distribution broadened particularly below 10 kGy. Amylose narrowed its distribution across all irradiation doses. This was due to dominating EBI-induced degradation and molecular rearrangements from RF plasma. With the highest average radiation-chemical yield (G) and degradation rate constant (k) of (2.12 ± 0.14) × 10-6 mol·J-1 and (3.43 ± 0.23) × 10-4 kGy-1, respectively, upon RF plasma pre-treatment, amylose underwent random chain scission. In comparison to single treatments, dual modification caused minor alterations in spectral characteristics and crystal short-range order structure, along with increased granule aggregation and surface irregularities. The synergistic effect was dose-dependent, significant up to 10 kGy, irrespective of treatment sequence. The highest synergistic ratio was observed when RF plasma preceded irradiation, demonstrating the superior efficiency of plasma pre-treatment in combination with EBI. This synergy has the potential to lower costs and extend starch's technological uses by enhancing radiation sensitivity and reducing the irradiation dose.

Abstract
The effects of plasma treatment on multi-scale structures and in vitro digestibility of starches isolated from Tartary buckwheat (TBS), potato (PTS), and pea (PS), were investigated. The results from SEM and CLSM showed that plasma treatment resulted in the extension of pores from the starch hilum to the surface. The XRD and 13C CP/MAS NMR spectra demonstrated that the crystalline type of three starches was not changed by plasma treatment, while the RC and double helix content of TBS increased. Besides, the single helix content and the proportion of amorphous phase decreased following the treatment, which was consistent with the result of SAXS. However, the PTS and PS showed the opposite results by plasma treatment. In addition, the modification significantly changed the molecular weight (Mw) and chain length distribution of all the starches, among which the Mw of PTS fell drastically from 2.45 × 107 g/mol to 1.74 × 107 g/mol. The in vitro digestibility of starches increased significantly when treated with plasma, in which TBS exhibited the biggest increase for its inside-out and side-by-side digestion manners. Therefore, plasma treatment led to different alteration trends for multi-scale structures with quite various change extent for in vitro digestibility about different crystalline starches.

Abstract
Ubiquitous presence of the extremely persistent pollutants, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, is drawing ever-increasing concerns for their high eco-environmental risks which, however, are insufficiently considered based on the assembly characteristics of those amphiphilic molecules in environment. This study investigated the re-organization and self-assembly of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and macronutrient molecules from rhizospheric organic (RhO) matter induced with a common operation of aeration. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) with infrared spectroscopy (IR)-mapping clearly showed that, after aeration and stabilization, RhO nanocapsules (∼ 1000 nm or smaller) with a core of PFOS-protein complexes coated by "lipid-carbohydrate" layers were observed whereas the capsule structure with a lipid core surrounded by "protein-carbohydrate-protein" multilayers was obtained in the absence of PFOS. It is aeration that exerted the disassociation of pristine RhO components, after which the environmental concentration PFOS restructured the self-assembly structure in a conspicuous "disorder-to-order" transition. AFM IR-mapping analysis of faeces combined with quantification of component uptake denoted the decreased ingestion and utilization of both PFOS and proteins compared with lipids and carbohydrates when Daphnia magna were fed with RhO nanocapsules. RhO nanocapsules acted as double-edged swords via simultaneously impeding the bioaccessibility of hazardous PFOS molecules and macronutrient proteins; and the latter might be more significant, which caused a malnutrition status within merely 48 h. Elucidating the assembly structure of natural organic matter and environmental concentration PFOS, the finding of this work could be a crucial supplementation to the high-dose-dependent eco-effect investigations on PFOS.

Abstract
In this study, horseradish peroxidase was extracted, purified, and immobilized on a calcium alginate-starch hybrid support by covalent bonding and entrapment. The immobilized HRP was used for the biodegradation of phenol red dye. A 3.74-fold purification was observed after precipitation with ammonium sulfate and dialysis. An immobilization yield of 88.33%, efficiency of 56.89%, and activity recovery of 50.26% were found. The optimum pH and temperature values for immobilized and free HRP were 5.0 and 50 °C and 6.5 and 60 °C, respectively. The immobilized HRP showed better thermal stability than its free form, resulting in a considerable increase in half-life time (t1/2) and deactivation energy (Ed). The immobilized HRP maintained 93.71% of its initial activity after 45 days of storage at 4 °C. Regarding the biodegradation of phenol red, immobilized HRP resulted in 63.57% degradation after 90 min. After 10 cycles of reuse, the immobilized HRP was able to maintain 43.06% of its initial biodegradative capacity and 42.36% of its enzymatic activity. At the end of 15 application cycles, a biodegradation rate of 8.34% was observed. In conclusion, the results demonstrate that the immobilized HRP is a promising option for use as an industrial biocatalyst in various biotechnological applications.

Abstract
The development of a healthier and more sustainable food supply is a main concern of consumers, industry, governments, and international institutions. Foods containing high levels of rapidly digestible starches have been linked to a rise in the number of people suffering from diet-related chronic diseases. Consequently, there is interest in reducing the digestibility of starch to improve their healthiness. The ability of natural additives including proteins, dietary fibers, and polyphenols, and sustainable processing technologies such as high-intensity ultrasonic, pulsed electric field, non-thermal plasma, γ-ray irradiation that regulate reduce starch digestibility in foods are reviewed. The potential mechanisms of action, advantages, and disadvantages of each approach at inhibiting starch digestibility is highlighted. The potential for commercializing these technologies is discussed, and areas where further research are required are emphasized. Natural additives and sustainable processing operations can effectively reduce the digestibility of starch and inhibit postprandial sugar "spikes" in the bloodstream by adjusting the structural changes, which can be used to create healthier and more sustainable foods and have broad application prospects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND At present, most studies have focused on the preparation of modified starches by dry grinding. As an excellent starch plasticizer, water might enhance the action of grinding on the structure of starch granules, and water grinding might improve the gel properties of starch. Therefore, this article explored the influence mechanism of water grinding on the gel properties of corn starch based on the changes in its structure and properties. RESULTS The results showed that water grinding could make water enter the starch granules and hydrate the starch molecules, and the starch gelatinized after water grinding for 20 min. Thus, water enhanced the action of grinding on the structure of the starch granules. Under the plasticization and grinding action of water grinding, the mechanochemical effect of the starch granules occurred. When the starch was in the aggregation stage (7.5-10 min), the crystallinity of the starch increased, and the starch molecules rearranged into a more stable structure, which increased apparent viscosity (η), elastic modulus (G') and viscous modulus (G″) of the starch gels. CONCLUSION Therefore, appropriate water grinding (10 min) contributed to increasing the viscoelasticity of starch gels. This study provided a theoretical foundation for research on improving the properties of starch by mechanical modification in future. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Effect of Ball-Milling on Starch Crystalline Structure, Gelatinization Temperature, and Rheological Properties: Towards Enhanced Utilization in Thermosensitive Systems. Foods 2023; 12:2924. [PMID: 37569193 PMCID: PMC10417754 DOI: 10.3390/foods12152924] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2023] [Revised: 07/10/2023] [Accepted: 07/28/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Starch's crystalline structure and gelatinization temperature might facilitate or hinder its use. Ball milling has frequently been mentioned in the literature as a method for reducing starch size and as a more environmentally friendly way to change starch, such as by increasing surface area and reactivity, which has an impact on other starch properties. In this study, starch samples were milled for varying durations (1, 5, 10, 20, and 30 h) and at different starch-to-ball mass ratios (1:6 and 1:20). Microscopy and XRD revealed that prolonged milling resulted in effective fragmentation and a decrease in crystallinity of the starch granules. Increasing milling times resulted in an increase in amylose content. Rheology and thermal studies revealed that gelatinization temperatures dropped with milling duration and that viscosity and thixotropy were directly influenced. The samples milled for 10, 20, and 30 h at a ratio of 1:20 were the most fragmented and upon drying formed a transparent film at ambient temperature, because of the lower gelatinization temperature. Starch ball milling could lead to the use of this material in thermosensitive systems.

[PMID: 37028874 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2023.120747] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2022] [Revised: 02/20/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2023] [Indexed: 03/05/2023]
Abstract
The hierarchical architecture of natural and processed starches with different surface and internal structures determines their final physicochemical properties. However, the oriented control of starch structure presents a significant challenge, and non-thermal plasma (cold plasma, CP) has gradually been used to design and tailor starch macromolecules, though without clear illustration. In this review, the multi-scale structure (i.e., chain-length distribution, crystal structure, lamellar structure, and particle surface) of starch is summarized by CP treatment. The plasma type, mode, medium gas and mechanism are also illustrated, as well as their sustainable food applications, such as in food taste, safety, and packaging. The effects of CP on the chain-length distribution, lamellar structure, amorphous zone, and particle surface/core of starch includes irregularity due to the complex of CP types, action modes, and reactive conditions. CP-induced chain breaks lead to short-chain distributions in starch, but this rule is no longer useful when CP is combined with other physical treatments. The degree but not type of starch crystals is indirectly influenced by CP through attacking the amorphous region. Furthermore, the CP-induced surface corrosion and channel disintegration of starch cause changes in functional properties for starch-related applications.

Atmospheric cold plasma induced nutritional & anti-nutritional, molecular modifications and in-vitro protein digestibility of guar seed (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L.) flour. Food Res Int 2023; 168:112790. [PMID: 37120236 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.112790] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2022] [Revised: 03/28/2023] [Accepted: 04/02/2023] [Indexed: 05/01/2023]
Abstract
The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of atmospheric cold plasma treatment on the nutritional, anti-nutritional, functional, morphological, and digestibility of guar seed (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L.) flour. Here, guar seed flour was kept inside the plasma reactor for 5 to 20 min at different power levels (10 & 20 kV). The cold plasma treatment (CPT) significantly (p < 0.05) reduced the carbohydrate (46.87 - 36.81 %), protein (27.15 - 25.88 %), and increased the WAC (1.89 - 2.91 g/g), OAC (1.18 - 2.17 g/g), FC (113 - 186.17 %), and pasting properties of guar seed flour. High-intensity plasma-treated samples (20 kV-20 min) contained lesser tannin, phytic acid, and saponin with reduced the nutritional value. The FTIR spectrum suggested that functional group formation or destruction might have occurred in the plasma-treated samples. Additionally, the crystallinity is reduced with increasing applied voltage or duration. The SEM analysis reveals that CPT resulted in the formation of rough surfaces with highly porous structures. On the other hand, CPT significantly reduced the trypsin inhibitor activity and had a minor impact on in-vitro protein digestibility except for the 20 kV-20 min treated sample. In PCA analysis, 10 kV-15 min treated samples exhibited better nutritional value, functional, and pasting properties with maximum impact of anti-nutritional factors. From the results, it can be concluded that treatment duration rather than the applied voltage plays a significant role in preserving the nutritional content.

Abstract
To fully research the anti-diabetic activity of apricot polysaccharide, low temperature plasma (LTP) was used to modify apricot polysaccharide. The modified polysaccharide was isolated and purified using column chromatography. It was found that LTP modification can significantly improve the α-glucosidase glucosidase inhibition rate of apricot polysaccharides. The isolated fraction FAPP-2D with HG domain showed excellent anti-diabetic activity in insulin resistance model in L6 cell. We found that FAPP-2D increased the ADP/ATP ratio and inhibited PKA phosphorylation, activating the LKB1-AMPK pathway. Moreover, FAPP-2D activated AMPK-PGC1α pathway, which could stimulated mitochondrial production and regulate energy metabolism, promoting GLUT4 protein transport to achieve an anti-diabetic effect. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy data showed that the LTP modification could increase the CH bond content while decreasing the C-O-C/C-O bond content, indicating that LTP destroyed the C-O-C/C-O bond, which enhanced the anti-diabetes activity of the modified apricot pectin polysaccharide. Our findings could pave the way for the molecular exploitation of apricot polysaccharides and the application of low-temperature plasma.

Abstract
The adhesion phenomenon of polymers occurs in nature and in human activity. In the present paper, an adhesion system of steamed bread and eggshell was observed in formation when steamed bread and eggshells were placed in close contact and cooled slightly in the ambient air. The adhesion phenomena and mechanism of the adhesion interface between the steamed bread and eggshell were investigated and systematically discussed. Strong-bond interfaces were observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The formation process and mechanism of the strong-bond adhesion were also analyzed molecular dynamics simulation technology, and the results are discussed. The simulation analyses showed that the starch molecules at the calcite (104) crystal face were diffused in a water vapor environment, and the formation and solidification of multiple hydrogen bonds in the starch chain and oxygen atoms in the calcium carbonate were observed in detail during cooling. The diffusion rate of hydrogen atoms in hydroxyl groups on the calcite surface decreased gradually with the decrease of the cooling temperature of the steamed bread's upper surface. The strong adhesion of the steamed bread and eggshell is attributed to the synthetic effect of the absorption, diffusion, surface chemistry, and the formation of multiple hydrogen bonds between the starch from the steamed bread and the calcium carbonate crystals in eggshell. The interesting findings are helpful for the design of strong bonds, and provide an idea for new environmentally friendly adhesive materials.

Foods 2022; 11:foods11162479.

Abstract
The present paper focuses on evaluating the synergistic effects of dual modification with corona electric discharge (CED) and electron beam irradiation (EBI) on the rheological behavior of starch. Combined treatments were applied successively (CED/EBI and EBI/CED) and compared with single treatments. The outcomes showed that the rheological features of starch were altered by the dual modification in correlation with the irradiation dose mainly as a result of radiation-induced degradation. Decreases in apparent viscosity were described by exponential-like-models according to the order of application of the treatment sequences. The mathematical models allowed the estimation of the irradiation doses for which the viscosity decreased by e times for the dual modified starches (3.3 ± 1.3 kGy for CED/EBI and 5.6 ± 0.5 kGy for EBI/CED, respectively) and the fraction (f) of 0.47 ± 0.10 corresponding to starch granule considered to be affected by plasma. Both dual treatments yielded a synergistic effect, regardless of the order of application of the treatment sequences, being more effective in decreasing starch apparent viscosity than single EBI. However, synergism evaluation proved that the use of plasma as a pre-treatment to irradiation processing could provide benefits up to 20 kGy. These findings support the practical goals of technologists with valuable information that may facilitate or simplify the experimental design of starch dual modification with plasma and ionizing radiation.
