ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2024; 106:106891. [PMID: 38701549 PMCID: PMC11078702 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2024.106891] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2024] [Revised: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 04/28/2024] [Indexed: 05/05/2024]
Abstract
Microalgae are new and sustainable sources of starch with higher productivity and flexible production modes than conventional terrestrial crops, but the downstream processes need further development. Here, ultrasonication (with power of 200 W or 300 W and duration of 10, 15, 20, or 25 min) was applied to simultaneously extract and modify starch from a marine microalga Tetraselmis subcordiformis for reducing the digestibility, and an aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) of ethanol/NaH2PO4 was then used to isolate the starches with varied properties. Increasing ultrasonic duration facilitated the partition of starch into the bottom pellet, while enhancing the ultrasonic power was conducive to the allocation in the interphase of the ATPS. The overall starch recovery yield reached 73 ∼ 87 % and showed no significant difference among the ultrasonic conditions tested. The sequential ultrasonication-ATPS process successfully enriched the starch with purities up to 65 % ∼ 88 %, which was among the top levels reported in microalgal starch isolated. Ultrasonication produced more amylose which was mainly fractionated into the interface of the ATPS. The digestibility of the starch was altered under different ultrasonic conditions and varied from different ATPS phases as well, with the one under the ultrasonic power of 200 W for 15 min at the bottom pellet having the highest resistant starch content (RS, 39.7 %). The structural and compositional analysis evidenced that the ultrasonication-ATPS process could exert impacts on the digestibility through altering the surface roughness and fissures of the starch granules, modulating the impurity compositions (protein and lipid) that could interact with starch, and modifying the long- and short-range ordered structures. The developed ultrasonication-ATPS process provided novel insights into the mechanism and strategy for efficient production of functional starch from microalgae with a potential in industrial application.

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.

Combined effect of heat moisture and ultrasound treatment on the physicochemical, thermal and structural properties of new variety of purple rice starch. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 261:129748. [PMID: 38281537 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.129748] [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: 10/29/2023] [Revised: 01/21/2024] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 01/30/2024]
Abstract
The advantages of physically modifying starch are evident: minimal environmental impact, no by-products, and straightforward control. The impact of dual modification on starch properties is contingent upon modification conditions and starch type. Herein, we subjected purple rice starch (PRS) to heat-moisture treatment (HMT, 110 °C, 4 h) with varying moisture content, ultrasound treatment (UT, 50 Hz, 30 min) with different ultrasonic power, and a combination of HMT and UT. Our findings reveal that UT following HMT dispersed starch granules initially aggregated by HMT and resulted in a rougher granule surface. Rheological analysis showcased a synergistic effect of HMT and UT, enhancing the fluidity of PRS and reinforcing its resistance to deformation in paste form. The absorbance ratio R1047/1015 indicates that increased moisture content during HMT and high ultrasound power for UT reduced the short-range order degree (1.69). However, the combined HMT-UT exhibited an increased R1047/1015 (1.38-1.64) compared to HMT alone (1.29-1.45), likely due to short-chain rearrangement. Notably, the A-type structure of PRS remained unaltered, but overall crystallinity significantly decreased (23.01 %-28.56 %), consistent with DSC results. In summary, physical modifications exerted significant effects on PRS, shedding light on the mechanisms governing the transformation of structural properties during HMT-UT.

Ultrasound-assisted starch hydrolyzing by alpha-amylase: Implementation of computational fluid dynamics, acoustic field determination, and rheology modeling. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2024; 103:106785. [PMID: 38309046 PMCID: PMC10848137 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2024.106785] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2023] [Revised: 01/15/2024] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/05/2024]
Abstract
The study aimed to optimize the ultrasonic-assisted modification (UAM) of corn and potato starch by assessing the influence of ultrasound geometry, power, and frequency on the fluid flow for sonicated starch to achieve porous starch with a higher degree of hydrolyzing by α-amylase. This assessment was conducted through mathematical modeling and 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The ultrasonic pressure field is determined by the solution of the non-linear Westervelt equation in the frequency domain. Then, the obtained field is utilized to simulate the dissipated power and flow field characteristics. According to the results obtained from the Rapid Visco Analyzer (RVA), it was observed that the peak and final viscosity of hydrolyzed sonicated starch were less than hydrolyzed native starch. This decrease in viscosity indicates a breakdown of the starch structure, leading to a more fluid-like consistency. The shear rate and shear stress data are used for rheology modeling. The fluid's viscosity is represented based on three models of Herschel-Bulkley, Casson, and Power law (Ostwald-de Waele). The magnitude of yield shear stress at low shear rates, the shear-thinning behavior, and the nearly Newtonian fluid nature at high shear rates are extracted from the viscosity models. The surfaces of the starch granules were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that sonication treatments caused damage, cracks, and porosity on the surfaces of the starch granules which were prone to amylolytic enzymes. This indicates that the structural integrity of the granules was compromised and facilitated enzyme penetration. This study proposes that ultrasonication can be utilized to produce damaged starch, which is susceptible to hydrolysis by α-amylase. This approach holds the potential for reducing enzyme consumption in various industries.

Application of emerging thermal and nonthermal technologies for improving textural properties of food grains: A critical review. Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf 2024; 23:e13286. [PMID: 38284581 DOI: 10.1111/1541-4337.13286] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2023] [Revised: 11/22/2023] [Accepted: 12/04/2023] [Indexed: 01/30/2024]
Abstract
Emerging nonthermal and thermal food processing technologies are a better alternative to conventional thermal processing techniques because they offer high-quality, minimally processed food. Texture is important in the food industry because it encompasses several product attributes and plays a vital role in consumer acceptance. Therefore, it is imperative to analyze the extent to which these technologies influence the textural attributes of food grains. Physical forces produced by cavitation are attributed to ultrasound treatment-induced changes in the conformational and structural properties of food proteins. Pulsed electric field treatment causes polarization of starch granules, damaging the dense outer layer of starch granules and decreasing the mechanical strength of starch. Prolonged radio frequency heating results in the denaturation of proteins and gelatinization of starch, thus reducing binding tendency during cooking. Microwave energy induces rapid removal of water from the product surface, resulting in lower bulk density, low shrinkage, and a porous structure. However, evaluating the influence of these techniques on food grain texture is difficult owing to differences in their primary operation mode, operating conditions, and equipment design. To maximize the advantages of nonthermal and thermal technologies, in-depth research should be conducted on their effects on the textural properties of different food grains while ensuring the selection of appropriate operating conditions for each food grain type. This article summarizes all recent developments in these emerging processing technologies for food grains, discusses their potential applications and drawbacks, and presents prospects for future developments in food texture enhancement.

Abstract
Granule size is a critical parameter affecting starch processing properties. Ultrasound treatments of up to 22 h were applied on two starches differing in granule size (quinoa starch and maize starch). The two starches showed significantly different trends in both structural and physicochemical aspects affected by the ultrasound treatments. For the small granule starch (volume-weighted mean particle size of 1.79 μm), short-term ultrasonication caused an increase of swelling power. As the treatment time increased, the physicochemical properties were influenced by the degradation of amylopectin external chains. The X-ray diffraction results showed a decrease of relative crystallinity and changes of peak areas with long-term treatment. On the other hand, a balance between amylose leaching and surface damages was seen for the large granule starch (volume-weighted mean particle size of 18.3 μm). The effect of ultrasound modification on starches with different molecular and granular structures was discussed. A possible mechanism of the ultrasound effect was proposed.

Abstract
Non-thermal physical treatments has obvious advantages in regulating the structure and properties of starch compared with chemical treatment. Hance, this article summarized and compared the effects of three kinds of non-thermal physical treatments including grinding and ball milling, high hydrostatic pressure and ultrasonic on the structure, properties and chemical activity of starches from different plants. The potential applications of non-thermal physical modified starch were introduced. And strategies to solve the problems in the current research were put forward. It is found that although starch has a dense structure, the starch granules could be deformed under three kinds of non-thermal physical treatments, which could damage the granule morphology, microstructure, and crystal structure of starch, reduce particle size, increase solubility and swelling power, and promote starch gelatinization. Three kinds of non-thermal physical treated starch could be used as flocculant thickener, starch based edible films and fat substitutes. Non-thermal physical treatments caused the structure of starch to undergo three stages, which were similar to mechanochemical effects. When starch was in the stress stage and the transition stage from aggregation to agglomeration, its active sites significantly increase and move inward, ultimately leading to a significant increase in the chemical activity of starch.

Abstract
Ultrasound has been widely used for physical modifications of starch because of its effectiveness and environment friendliness; however, only a few reports have focused on the effect of varying ultrasonic treatments on the physicochemical properties of potato flour. In the present study, ultrasound at varying power levels (200, 300, 400, 500, and 600 W) and time intervals (20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 min) were used to obtain sonicated flour. Sonicated potato flour exhibited a significant (P < 0.05) decrease in blue value and oil holding capacity but an increase in swelling power, water solubility, syneresis rate, and transparency. Moreover, ultrasound decreased the RDS content while increasing RS and SDS contents. Thermal properties demonstrated significant (P < 0.05) increases in T0 (64.39℃-83.52℃) and TC (144.29℃-146.87℃) but a decrease in ΔH of the sonicated flour. SEM revealed wrinkles, less debris, and larger particle size at the surface of the sonicated flour. FTIR profiles of all samples exhibited similar characteristics peaks, but the sonicated flour had a higher R1047/1022 value. Additionally, ultrasound did not affect crystalline patterns, but it increased the crystallinity of the sonicated flour. Our study contributes to the understanding of physicochemical property changes of sonicated potato flour, which could have industrial applications.

Abstract
Here, we prepared novel composite gels composed of citrus insoluble nanofiber and amylose, and examined their potential to be used as fat replacers and inhibit lipid digestion. We further evaluated the effect of different nanofiber/amylose ratios on the texture, thermal stability, water distribution, microstructure and lipid digestion of the composite gels. The addition of nanofiber improved the hardness, gumminess, viscoelasticity, thermal stability, and water-holding capacity of the composite gels, as well as strengthen their interpenetrating three-dimensional network. The gel prepared at a nanofiber/amylose ratio of 1:4 could provide an oral sensory perception similar to that of cream and therefore can be used as a potential fat replacer. Moreover, the emulsion stabilized by nanofiber/amylose could well inhibit lipid digestion, and the nanofiber/amylose ratio of 1:4 could achieve the minimum release amount of free fatty acids (55.81%). These findings provide a reference for the development of potential fat replacers.

Abstract
Chitin is a polysaccharide and possesses numerous beneficial properties such as nontoxicity, biodegradability and biocompatibility, which draws much attention to its applications in food. Crayfish shell is a source of chitin alongside an antioxidants and a potential source of beneficial dietary fiber. In this study, chitin (CH) and crayfish shell (CS) with different concentrations were used to study their impact on pasting characteristics of flour mixture (wheat flour and glutinous rice flour) and influence on physicochemical and starch digestion property of puffed biscuit. The Rapid Visco-Analyzer results showed that the viscosity of powder mixture was decreased with the ratio of CH and CS increased. CH resulted in lowest peak viscosity and breakdown values of mixed powder. It was indicated that increasing amounts of CH and CS led to significantly reduced moisture content, expansion ratio but raised density of biscuits. CH and CS inhibited starch digestion and promoted a remarkable increase (P < 0.05) of resistant starch (RS) content. The hydrolysis kinetic analysis suggested a decelerating influence of CH on the hydrolysis content with lower values of equilibrium hydrolysis percentage (C∞) while CS on hydrolysis rate with lower kinetic constant (K). The estimated glycemic index (eGI) of the CH (15-20%) samples were below 55. These results are of great significance in delaying starch digestion and provided a better choice in design of fried puffed snacks for special crowd with chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and obesity.

Abstract
The digestibility of starches with high amylose content can be modulated by the complexation with lipids, which is largely influenced by physical modification methods. In the current work, the impact of ultrasound-microwavre synergistic treatment on the structure and in vitro digestibility of lotus seed starch-glycerin monostearin complexes (LS-GMSc) after retrogradation were investigated. Results showed that 400 W of ultrasound treatment combined with microwave was more conducive to the formation of LS-GMSc, which increased the microcrystalline region and ordering degree of starch. However, excessively high ultrasound intensity weakened V-type diffraction and promoted amylose recrystallization. Investigation of the micromorphology and thermal properties revealed that the existence of V-complexes retarded starch retrogradation, and this effect was significantly enhanced after appropriate ultrasound (400 W) treatment. The digestion showed that 400 W of ultrasound treatment improved the digestive resistance of starch complexes and increased the content of resistant starch. These results are significant to the theoretical foundation and functional application of V-type complexes on anti-gelling and anti-digestion.

Impact on its techno-functional and rheological properties. Curr Res Food Sci 2023; 6:100456. [PMID: 36846468 PMCID: PMC9947227 DOI: 10.1016/j.crfs.2023.100456] [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: 10/20/2022] [Revised: 01/31/2023] [Accepted: 02/02/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Tef flour comes from a nutritionally-rich ancient grain gaining increasing interest in gluten-free market. Gluten-free sources are modified by different means to improve their functionality. Ultrasound treatment (US) alters flours' structure and leads to physically modified flours with a wider application range. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the impact of US treatments of moderate treatment time, 10 min, and high concentration of the aqueous flour dispersion, 25%, on the microstructural, starch damage, apparent amylose content, techno-functional, pasting and rheological properties of two tef flour varieties, white and brown. Temperature was varied (20, 40, 45, 50, and 55 °C) to modulate the impact of sonication. US treatments led to general particle fragmentation which markedly increased starch damage and lightness (L*) values. Apparent amylose content was higher after ultrasonication, as consequence of molecular fragmentation due to cavitation. Increased starch granules' exposed area led to enhanced interaction with water, promoting the water absorption index (WAI) and swelling power (SP) of treated flours. Pasting properties showed increased pasting temperatures as well as decreased viscometric profiles with lower breakdown viscosities, indicative of starch rearrangement improved by increasing temperature. Rheological properties indicated higher consistency in gels after US treatments, with improved ability to withstand stress and lower values of tan(δ)1 reflecting a higher solid-like behavior and higher strength of the gel. Temperature was found to be a crucial variable during US treatments, showing an improved degree of modification at higher temperatures in ultrasonicated tef flours, following the same trend in both varieties.

Foods 2023; 12:foods12030484.

Abstract
The modification of flours by ultrasound (US) treatments requires excess water to suspend the sample to be treated, which must be removed after treatment to recover the ultrasonicated flour. The aim of this study was to determine the influence that the water removal method has on the final characteristics of US-treated gluten-free flours (rice, brown tef, corn and quinoa). US treatment parameters were constant, and two water removal methods were studied: freeze-drying and centrifugation + drying. The elimination of water by centrifugation resulted in the loss of solubilized compounds from the treated flours, which led to important differences between the final characteristics of US-treated flours. Ultrasonication resulted in the reduction of flours' particle size and modification of their color parameters. Techno-functional properties were modified by US treatment, where the water removal method was more influential in whole grain samples (brown tef and quinoa). Few differences were found in thermal properties among pairs of US-treated samples, indicative that the effect caused to starch was mainly attributed to ultrasonication conditions than to the drying method. The water removal method markedly influenced the pasting properties of US-treated flours, resulting in lower profiles when freeze-drying was applied and higher profiles when flours were retrieved by centrifugation. Gels made with tef, corn and quinoa presented reduced tan(δ)₁ values after sonication, while gels made with rice did not show any modification. The water removal method is a decisive step in US treatments, defining the final characteristics of the treated matter, and having a great influence in the modification attributed to ultrasonication.

Abstract
Aerogels are of increasing interest because of their exceptionally large surface area, porous structure, and low weight. Despite the significant increase in interest in the subject of starch-based aerogels, the number of detailed studies is rather scarce, which is especially evident in the case of chemically modified derivatives. Therefore, the study aims to evaluate the physicochemical properties of aerogels from chemically modified potato starch preparations (E 1422 and E 1450) obtained both from normal and waxy starches. Aerogels were prepared through the retrogradation of starch pastes followed by the gradual replacement of water with ethyl alcohol. The obtained preparations were characterized in terms of their bulk density, oil-binding capacity, as well as the texture and rheological properties of the formed pastes. Moreover, their usefulness was evaluated in an emulsion system employing rheological and low-field NMR methods. The obtained aerogels were characterized by a lower bulk density of 0.18-0.59 g/cm3 and 5.4-6.6 times higher oil-binding capacity compared to native potato starch. The chemical modification of starch helped to further alter the functional properties of the obtained aerogels, making them more effective oil binders, emulsifiers, and stabilizers (increasing the stability from 55 to 90%), which was especially evident for E 1450 preparation. Amylose content improved the aerogel properties, as waxy preparations were characterized by worse functional properties with the only exception of improved thickening ability. The most beneficial properties for the preparation of emulsions were observed for the aerogel obtained based on E 1450 normal potato starch.

Abstract
Combined ultrasonic and freeze–thaw pretreatment significantly reduced oil absorption of corn starch. The combined treatment increased the density of corn starch granules. The combined treatment increased the short-range order of cornstarch. Modified starch could be used in low-fat fried food processing industry.
This study investigated the effects of ultrasonic, freeze–thaw, and combined pretreatments on corn starch oil absorption. Low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF NMR) was used to study the oil absorption changes after frying of corn starch (CS) subjected to different treatments. The structural characteristics of samples were evaluated using various techniques. Scanning electron microscopy, contact angle, and particle size analysis showed that corn starch subjected to combined ultrasonic and freeze–thaw treatment generated larger, coarser particles with a denser structure. Furthermore, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry showed that combined treatment improved the order and thermal stability of CS molecules, thereby inhibiting oil absorption during frying. The results showed that combined ultrasonic and freeze–thaw pretreatment significantly reduced the oil absorption of corn starch before and after frying.

Abstract
The starch-lipid complex between the pea starch (PSt) and glycerol monolaurate (GM) was prepared using ultrasound with different amplitudes, durations and application sequences. Fourier-transform infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra showed the formation of amylose-lipid complex between PSt and GM in the ultrasonic field. Stronger diffraction intensities were observed in samples treated by ultrasonication, whereas the thermogravimetric analysis indicated that the thermal stability of starch was improved by the formation of the V-type inclusion complexes. An ultrasound pre-treatment prior to the addition of a guest molecule (UC) was more favorable to induce the formation of an amylose-lipid complexes than ultrasound treatment after PSt was incorporated with GM (CU). The UC-treated samples showed stronger diffraction intensities, higher melting enthalpy values and enzyme-resistant than that of CU-treated PSt-GM complexes.
