Shen C, Chen W, Aziz T, Al-Asmari F, Alghamdi S, Bayahya SH, Cui H, Lin L. Effects of cold plasma pretreatment before different drying process on the structural and functional properties of starch in Chinese yam. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 274:133307. [PMID: 38908637 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133307] [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: 04/01/2024] [Revised: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 06/19/2024] [Indexed: 06/24/2024]
Abstract
This article compared the effects of hot air drying (HAD), infrared drying (IRD), and cold plasma (CP) as a pretreatment on the structure, quality, and digestive characteristics of starch extracted from yam. As the most commonly used drying method, HAD was used as a control. SEM and CLSM images showed that all treatments preserve the integrity of the yam starch. CP caused some cracks and breaks in the starch granules. IRD did not destroy the crystal structure of starch molecules, but made the spiral structure tighter and increased short-range orderliness. However, CP led to the depolymerization and dispersion of starch molecular chains, resulting in a decrease in average molecular weight and relative crystallinity. These molecular conformation changes caused by different processes led to differences in solubility, swelling power, pasting parameters, digestion characteristics, and functional characteristics. This study provided an important basis for the reasonable drying preparation and utilization of yam starch.

Zuo Y, Zou F, Yang M, Xu G, Wu J, Wang L, Wang H. Effects of plasma-activated water combined with ultrasonic treatment of corn starch on structural, thermal, physicochemical, functional, and pasting properties. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2024; 108:106963. [PMID: 38936293 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2024.106963] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2024] [Revised: 06/08/2024] [Accepted: 06/18/2024] [Indexed: 06/29/2024]
Abstract
In this study, corn starch was used as the raw material, and modified starch was prepared using a method combining plasma-activated water and ultrasound treatment (PUL). This method was compared with treatments using plasma-activated water (PAW) and ultrasound (UL) alone. The structure, thermal, physicochemical, pasting, and functional properties of the native and treated starches were evaluated. The results indicated that PAW and UL treatments did not alter the shape of the starch granules but caused some surface damage. The PUL treatment increased the starch gelatinization temperature and enthalpy (from 11.22 J/g to 13.13 J/g), as well as its relative crystallinity (increased by 0.51 %), gel hardness (increased by 16.19 %) compared to untreated starch, without inducing a crystalline transition. The PUL treatment resulted in a whitening of the samples. The dual treatment enhanced the thermal stability of the starch paste, which can be attributed to the synergistic effect between PAW and ultrasound (PAW can modify the starch structure at a molecular level, while ultrasound can further disrupt the granule weak crystalline structures, leading to improved thermal properties). Furthermore, FTIR results suggested significant changes in the functional groups related to the water-binding capacity of starch, and the order of the double-helical structure was disrupted. The findings of this study suggest that PUL treatment is a promising new green modification technique for improving the starch structure and enhancing starch properties. However, further research is needed to tailor the approach based on the specific properties of the raw material.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 269:132183.

Abstract
The current research in the food industry regarding enzymatic modification to enhance the freeze-thaw (FT) stability of starch is limited. The present study aimed to investigate the FT stability of normal corn starch (NCS) modified using 1,4-α-glucan branching enzyme (GBE) derived from Geobacillus thermoglucosidans STB02. Comprehensive analyses, including syneresis, scanning electron microscopy, and low-field nuclear magnetic resonance, collectively demonstrated the enhanced FT stability of GBE-modified corn starch (GT-NCS-30) in comparison to its native form. Its syneresis was 66.4 % lower than that of NCS after three FT cycles. Notably, GBE treatment induced changes in the pasting properties and thermal resistance of corn starch, while simultaneously enhancing the mechanical strength of the starch gel. Moreover, X-ray diffractograms and microstructural assessments of freeze-thawed gels indicated that GBE treatment effectively hindered the association of corn starch molecules, particularly amylose retrogradation. The enhanced FT stability of GBE-modified starch can be attributed to alterations in the starch structure induced by GBE. This investigation establishes a foundation for further exploration into the influence of GBE treatment on the FT stability of starch and provides a theoretical basis for further research in this area.

Enhancing starch functionality through synergistic modification via sequential treatments with cold plasma and electron beam irradiation. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 270:132346.

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
In order to investigate the effects of different drying methods on the properties of porous starch. The present study used four drying methods, namely hot air drying (HD), spray drying (SPD), vacuum freeze drying (FD) and supercritical carbon dioxide drying (SCD) to prepare maize and kudzu porous starch. Findings indicated that the physicochemical properties (e.g., morphology, crystallinity, enthalpy value, porosity, surface area and water absorption capacity as well as dye absorption capacity, particle size) of porous starch were significantly affected by the drying method. Compared with other samples, SCD-treated porous starch exhibited the highest surface areas of the starch (2.943 and 3.139 m2/g corresponding to kudzu and maize, respectively), amylose content (22.02 % and 16.85 % corresponding to kudzu and maize, respectively), MB and NR absorption capacity (90.63 %, 100.26 % and 90.63 %, 100.26 %, corresponding to kudzu ad maize, respectively), and thermal stability, whereas HD-treated porous starch showed the highest water-absorption capacity (123.8 % and 131.31 % corresponding to kudzu and maize, respectively). The dye absorption of the maize and kudzu porous starch was positively correlated with surface area, according to Pearson's correlation analysis. Therefore, in this study, our aim was to explore the effects of different drying methods on the Structure and properties of porous starch, and provide reference for selecting the best drying method for its application in different fields.

Abstract
Quercetin (Q) has many potential health benefits, but its low stability limits its use in functional foods and pharmaceuticals. The low stability of quercetin is a challenge that needs to be addressed to fully realize its therapeutic potential. The purpose of this study was therefore to design a proper carrier based on porous starch (PS) and inulin (IN) in order to improve the stability of Q. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images denoted that the Q molecules were adsorbed in the PS pores and partially adhered to the surface of the granules. Both types of the wall material could remarkably enhance the protection of Q against thermal and light degradation. The retention index of Q under different environmental conditions was higher for the PS:IN-Q than PS-Q. The results of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) revealed that Q interacted with the wall materials through non-covalent bonds. X-ray diffraction (XRD) also confirmed the encapsulation of Q in the wall materials. The bonding between Q and the hydrogen groups of starch compacted the crystalline regions and increased the relative crystallinity in PS-Q and PS:IN-Q. The DPPH and ABTS scavenging activities of the microcapsules containing the PS and IN were higher than those of free Q. Examination of the in-vitro release profile indicated that the Q release rate was lower from the PS:IN-Q microcapsules (21.6%) than from the PS-Q ones (33.7%). Our findings highlight the significant potential of this novel biopolymer mixture (PS/IN) as a promising wall material for the protection and delivery of bioactive compounds.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 267:131315.

Abstract
Understanding the hierarchical structure and physicochemical properties of starch isolated from fermented dough with different times (0-120 min) is valuable for improving the quality of fermented dough-based products. The results indicate that fermentation disrupted the starch granule surface and decreased the average particle size from 19.72 μm to 18.45 μm. Short-term fermentation (< 60 min) disrupted the crystalline, lamellar, short-range ordered molecular and helical structures of starch, while long-term fermentation (60-120 min) elevated the ordered degree of these structures. For example, relative crystallinity and double helix contents increased from 23.7 % to 26.8 % and 34.4 % to 37.2 %, respectively. During short-term fermentation, the structural amorphization facilitated interactions between starch molecular chains and water molecules, which increased the peak viscosity from 275.4 to 320.6 mPa·s and the swelling power from 7.99 to 8.52 g/g. In contrast, starches extracted from long-term fermented dough displayed the opposite results. Interestingly, the hardness and springiness of starch gels gradually decreased as fermentation time increased. These findings extend our understanding of the starch structure-property relationship during varied fermentation stages, potentially benefiting the production of better-fermented foods.

Abstract
Exposing the hydrated-soft-starch matrix of intact grain or reconstituted flour dough to a high-temperature-short-time (HTST) leads to rapid vapor generation that facilitates high-pressure build-up in its elastic matrix linked to large deformation and expansion. The expanded starch matrix at high temperatures dries up quickly by flash vaporization of water, which causes loss of its structural flexibility and imparts a porous and rigid structure of the expanded porous starch matrix (EPSM). EPSM, with abundant pores in its construction, offers adsorptive effectiveness, solubility, swelling ability, mechanical strength, and thermal stability. It can be a sustainable and easy-to-construct alternative to porous starch (PS) in food and pharmaceutical applications. This review is a comparative study of PS and EPSM on their preparation methods, structure, and physicochemical properties, finding compatibility and addressing challenges in recommending EPSM as an alternative to PS in adsorbing, dispersing, stabilizing, and delivering active ingredients in a controlled and efficient way.

The goal of the proposed study is to investigate the effects of three different power levels (30, 32 and 34 kV) and exposure time (2, 4 and 8 min) of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) atmospheric cold plasma treatment on the functional and physicochemical characteristics of taro starch. Investigations were done into how different treatments impact the multi-structural, functional and physicochemical attributes of taro starch. The findings showed that cold plasma treatments substantially impacted starch granule shapes (3.60-2.54 μm), such as reduced aggregations and developed fissures on granule surface due to the generation of an etching by plasma species and enhancement in the surface topography and roughness of treated starch as compared with native by SEM and AFM analysis. Besides this, no variations were detected in the functional groups of taro starch using FT-IR analysis after cold plasma treatments. However, the A-type pattern in the XRD did not affect it, while a reduction in relative crystallinity (14.20-11.50 %) was seen as a function of the active plasma species depolymerization. Furthermore, depending on the cold plasma voltage and treatment time, amylose content (20.12-15.98 %), paste clarity (24.48-31.27 %), solubility (0.41-65.53 %), freezing thaw stability (% syneresis) (32.10-42.58 %), color properties (L*, 94.79-97.52), whiteness index (79.37-84.66), molecular weight distribution (Peak 1, 12.79-5.35 × 108 g/mol; Peak 2, 4.20-1.56 × 107 g/mol) and in vitro digestibility (RDS, 64.10-64.08 %) significantly changed. So, based on these excellent properties, this study suggested that cold plasm-treated taro starch can be used in the field of food packaging material, functional food and pharmaceutical products. Therefore, a potential approach for physically altering starch is plasma treatment.

Abstract
Octenyl succinic anhydride modified porous starch (OSA-PS) with degrees of substitution (DS) from 0.0123 to 0.0427 were prepared by aqueous phase method. From SEM, PS had a porous structure which showed a rough and corrosive surface after esterification with OSA. FT-IR revealed the characteristic peaks of OSA-PS at 1725 cm-1 and 1570 cm-1. From 1H NMR spectra, OSA-PS displayed extra chemical signal peaks at 0.85 ppm, 1.25 ppm and 1.96 ppm. These results fully demonstrated that OSA groups were successfully grafted onto PS. Furthermore, as DS increased, the specific surface area (5.6464 m2/g), pore volume (0.9959 × 10-2 cm3/g) and methylene blue adsorption capacity (24.3962 mg/g) of OSA-PS reached the maximum, while its relative crystallinity (26.8112 %) and maximum thermal decomposition temperature (291.96 °C) were the minimum. In vitro digestion studies showed that with the increase of DS, OSA-PS' contents of rapidly digestible starch and slowly digestible starch decreased from 9.06 % to 6.27 % and 28.38 % to 14.61 %, respectively. In contrast, its resistant starch had an increase in content from 62.56 % to 79.12%. The results provided an effective method for obtaining a double-modified starch with high specific surface area and anti-digestibility, thus broadening the industrial application of starch.

Abstract
This research investigated the impact of air plasma and high-pressure plasma treatments on corn starch. The resulting samples were characterized by particle morphology, molecular polymerization degree, molecular functional groups, and crystallinity. SEM analysis revealed that plasma treatment altered the surface morphology of corn starch, with variations observed depending on the duration of treatment. UV/Vis spectroscopy results indicated that longer plasma exposure times increased maximum absorbance values with less complete peak shapes. FTIR results demonstrated that plasma treatment disrupted the crystalline structure of starch, resulting in decreased molecular polymerization. Lastly, XRD results showed a proportional relationship between plasma treatment duration and the intensity of the diffuse peak, indicating that prolonged plasma exposure increased the amorphous nature of starch.

Atmospheric pressure pin-to-plate cold plasma effect on physicochemical, functional, pasting, thermal, and structural characteristics of proso-millet starch. Food Res Int 2023; 173:113444.

Abstract
The present work aimed to study the influence of atmospheric pressure pin-to-plate cold plasma on the physicochemical (pH, moisture, and amylose content), functional (water & oil binding capacity, solubility & swelling power, paste clarity on storage, pasting), powder flow, thermal and structural (FTIR, XRD, and SEM) characteristics at an input voltage of 170-230 V for 5-15 min. The starch surface modification by cold plasma was seen in the SEM images which cause the surge in WBC (1.54 g/g to 1.93 g/g), OBC (2.22 g/g to 2.79 g/g), solubility (3.05-5.38% at 70 °C; 37.11-52.98% at 90 °C) and swelling power (5.39-7.83% at 70 °C; 25.67-35.33% at 90 °C) of starch. Reduction in the amylose content (27.82% to 25.07%) via plasma-induced depolymerization resists the retrogradation tendency, thereby increasing the paste clarity (up to ̴ 39%) during the 5 days of refrigerated storage. However, the paste viscosity is reduced after cold plasma treatment yielding low-strength starch pastes. The relative crystallinity of starch increased (37.35% to 45.36%) by the plasma-induced fragmented starch granules which would aggregate and broaden the gelatinization temperature, but these starch fragments reduced the gelatinization enthalpy. The fundamental starch structure is conserved as seen in FTIR spectra. Thus, cold plasma aids in the production of soluble, low-viscous, stable, and clear paste-forming depolymerized proso-millet starch.

Abstract
Native starches have low water solubility at room temperature and poor stability, which demand modifications to overcome. Porous starch as a modified one shows enhanced adsorptive efficiency and solubility compared with its native starch. In contrast, some inherent disadvantages exist, such as weak mechanical strength and low thermal resistance. Fortunately, modified porous starches have been developed to perform well in adsorption capacity and stability. Modified porous starch can be prepared by esterification, crosslinking, oxidation and multiple modifications to the porous starch. The characterization of modified porous starch can be achieved through various analytical techniques. Modified porous starch can be utilized as highly efficient adsorbents and encapsulants for various compounds and applied in various fields. This review dealt with the progress in the preparation, structural characterization and application of modified porous starch. The objective is to provide a reference for its development, utilization, and future research directions.

Abstract
Starch is a readily available and abundant source of biological raw materials and is widely used in the food, medical, and textile industries. However, native starch with insufficient functionality limits its utilization in the above applications; therefore, it is modified through various physical, chemical, enzymatic, genetic and multiple modifications. This review summarized the relationship between structural changes and functional properties of starch subjected to different modified methods, including hydrothermal treatment, microwave, pre-gelatinization, ball milling, ultrasonication, radiation, high hydrostatic pressure, supercritical CO2, oxidation, etherification, esterification, acid hydrolysis, enzymatic modification, genetic modification, and their combined modifications. A better understanding of these features has the potential to lead to starch-based products with targeted structures and optimized properties for specific applications.

Abstract
The amylolytic action of α-amylase and amyloglucosidase has been directly implemented in native cassava starches for the formation of cassava microporous granules with unsatisfactory results, however, its incidence in hydrothermally treated granules has never been evaluated. The effect of hydrothermal processes and simultaneous enzymatic hydrolysis on the physicochemical, morphological and structural properties of native cassava starch was evaluated. Native cassava starch presented a rigid, smooth surface, and was exempt from porosities, whereas hydrothermal processes altered the semicrystalline order and increasing the size and number of pores and increasing the size (4.11 ± 0.09 nm) and volume of pores (0.82 ± 0.00 cm3/g × 10-3). The hydrothermal action followed by enzymatic processes with α-amylase and amyloglucosidase, augmented the processes of internal degradation (endo-erosion) and pore widening (exo-erosion), improving the hydrophilic properties compared to the hydrothermal treatment. Likewise, the hydrothermally process followed by enzymatic hydrolysis for 24 h (HPS + EMS-24) increased the degradation of the amorphous lamellae, consistent with a significant decrease in amylose content. This same dual treatment increased the pore size at 17.68 ± 0.13 nm relative to the native counterpart; therefore, they are considered an effective method in the development of modified cassava starches with porous surfaces.

Abstract
Curcumin and vitamin D3 are bioactive molecules of great importance for the food industry. However, their low stability in several processing conditions hampers their proper incorporation into powdered food formulations. This study proposes the enrichment of a common raw material (cornstarch) with curcumin and vitamin D3 by using high-shear wet agglomeration. The bioactives were initially encapsulated into liposome dispersions and then subjected to lyophilization. The resulting dried vesicles were later incorporated into cornstarch by wet agglomeration using maltodextrin as the binder solution. The phospholipid content and the amount of added liposomes were evaluated to characterize the enriched cornstarch samples. The lyophilized vesicles showed a high retention rate of 99 % for curcumin and vitamin D3, while the enriched cornstarch samples retained above 96 % (curcumin) and 98 % (vitamin D3) after 30 days of controlled storage. All in all, the presence of dried liposomes improved the flowability and delayed retrogradation phenomenon in agglomerated cornstarch. Therefore, this study introduced a novel and reliable method of incorporating hydrophobic and thermosensitive molecules into powdered food formulations by using readily available materials and a straightforward high-shear wet agglomeration process.
