Modification in structural,physicochemical, functional,and in vitro digestive properties of kiwi starch by high-power ultrasound treatment

Kiwi starch (KS) is a fruit-derived starch; in order to improve its processing performance and increase its added value, it is necessary to modify KS to enhance the positive attributes and to enlarge its application. In this study, KS was modified by high-power ultrasound treatment (HUT) to reveal the relationship between the structure and function of KS with different treatment powers (0, 200, 400, and 600 W) and different treatment times (0, 10, 20, and 30 min). The results showed that HUT destroyed the granular morphology of KS, formed holes and cracks on the surface, and reduced the particle size and the short-range molecular order of KS. After different HUTs, the apparent amylose content (AAC), swelling power (SP), water solubility index (WSI), viscosity and setback value (SB) of KS were significantly increased, while the gelatinization temperature was significantly decreased. In addition, HUT significantly reduced the content of rapidly digestible starch (RDS) and slowly digestible starch (SDS), while it significantly enhanced the content of resistant starch (RS) (64.08–72.73%). In a word, HUT as a novel physical modification method for KS, enlarged its application, and fulfilled different demands of a starch-based product, which introduces another possibility for kiwi fruit further processing.     

The effect of surface modification on the properties of sisal fiber and improvement of interfacial adhesion in sisal/starch composites induced by starch nanocrystals

A facile approach was utilized to introduce starch nanocrystals (SNCs) onto sisal fiber (SF) to improve the interfacial adhesion between SF and starch. For this, fibers were treated with alkali and then subjected to cold plasma treatment to increase the accessibility with SNCs, which was confirmed through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It was found that due to the influence of cold plasma treatment, new functional groups were introduced onto SF. The surface characteristics of SF were examined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The observed results suggested that SNCs were successfully distributed onto SF. Tensile strength and interfacial shear strength of fibers treated under different conditions were calculated and compared through a two-parameter Weibull model. The highest interfacial shear strength of 3.05 MPa was obtained by Alkali-300 W-SNCs, which indicated an increase of 80.6% than untreated SF. It has also been proved that the starch nanocrystals produced hydrogen bonding and physical interlocking between sisal fiber and starch. Notably, the outcome of this investigation indicates that SNCs may be applied for the fabrication of high performance, environmentally friendly sisal/starch composites for a range of technological applications.     

The Thermal Stability and Rheological Properties of Alkylated Carboxymethyl Starch

Several alkylated carboxymethyl starches (CMS) with different alkyl chain lengths were prepared. The influence of the number of alkyls on the thermal stability and rheological properties, such as thickening properties, salt-tolerance, temperature sensitivity and time-dependent rheological behavior, are discussed. The initial decomposition temperature (IDT) of alkylated CMS reached 263°C ～293°C which, as compared to the IDT for CMS itself (230°C), indicated that the thermal stability of CMS was improved after being alkylated. The solution viscosities of the alkylated carboxymethyl starch increased with the increasing of alkyl length. With the alkyl chain length increasing from C₂ to C₈, the viscosity increased from 400 mPa·s to 38000 mPa·s. The weak hydrophobic aggregation of the alkyl groups did not improve the shear-resistance and relative hysteresis area. But the temperature sensitivity of alkylated CMS was improved as the chain length of the alkyl groups increased, as the activation energy (E_a) value decreased from 2.082 kJ·mol^?1 to 0.077 kJ·mol^?1; Improving the rigidity of the molecular chains and reducing the network structure of the hydrophobic contribution to the viscosity of the solution are benefits for improving the salt-tolerance and shear-resistance of the aqueous solution.     

Isothermal and temperature-cycling retrogradation of high-amylose corn starch: Impact of sonication on its structural and retrogradation properties

In this study, the effects of sonication and temperature-cycled storage on the structural properties and resistant starch content of high-amylose corn starch were investigated. Sonication induced a partial depolymerization of the molecular structures of amylopectin and amylose. Sonication treatment induced the appropriate structural changes for retrogradation. Although the relative crystallinity of sonicated starch was lower than that of non-sonicated starch, sonicated starch after retrogradation showed much higher relative crystallinity than non-sonicated starch. Regardless of sonication treatment, temperature-cycled storage resulted in a higher degree of retrogradation than isothermal storage, but the rate of retrogradation was greater in sonicated starch than in non-sonicated starch, as supported by retrogradation enthalpy, the Avrami constant, and relative crystallinity. The highly developed crystalline structure in sonicated starches due to retrogradation was reflected by the large amount of resistant starch.

The Microstructure and Swelling Properties of Poly Acrylic Acid-Acrylamide Grafted Starch Hydrogels

Starch grafted acrylic acid-acrylamide hydrogel was synthesized using an aqueous solution polymerization method. The microstructures of the vacuum-dried hydrogel (VDH) and vacuum-freeze-dried hydrogel (VFDH) were studied by means of scanning electron microscopy and biomicroscopy. The water-absorption rate of the hydrogel was tested. The results showed that the microstructure of the two kinds of dried hydrogels exhibited significant differences. Before absorbing water, VDH had a relatively dense surface whereas the surface of VFDH had a clear macroporous structure. After absorbing water, a three-dimensional network structure was clearly visible in VDH. Many interlaced and free filaments occupied the space between the main skeleton and channels. The holes formed by vacuum-freeze-drying had the effect of squeezing the surrounding network structure, which had an impact on the water-absorption rate and water absorbency of the hydrogel.     

Impact of ultrasonic treatment on rice starch and grain functional properties: A review

As a green, nonthermal, and innovative technology, ultrasonication generates acoustic cavitation in an aqueous medium, developing physical forces that affect the starch chemistry and rice grain characteristics. This review describes the current information on the effect of ultrasonication on the morphological, textural, and physicochemical properties of rice starch and grain. In a biphasic system, ultrasonication introduced fissures and cracks, which facilitated higher uptake of water and altered the rice starch characteristics impacting textural properties. In wholegrain rice, ultrasonic treatment stimulated the production of health-related metabolites, facilitated the higher uptake of micronutrient fortificants, and enhanced the palatability by softening the rice texture. This review provides insights into the future direction on the utilization of ultrasonication for the applications towards the improvement of rice functional properties.     

The Electrochemical Stability of Starch Carbon as an Important Property in the Construction of a Lithium-Ion Cell

This paper shows use of starch-based carbon (CSC) and graphene as the anode electrode for lithium-ion cell. To describe electrochemical stability of the half-cell system and kinetic parameters of charging process in different temperatures, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurement was adopted. It has been shown that smaller resistances are observed for CSC. Additionally, Bode plots show high electrochemical stability at higher temperatures. The activation energy for the SEI (solid–electrolyte interface) layer, charge transfer, and electrolyte were in the ranges of 24.06–25.33, 68.18–118.55, and 13.84–15.22 kJ mol⁻¹, respectively. Moreover, the activation energy of most processes is smaller for CSC, which means that this electrode could serve as an eco-friendly biodegradable lithium-ion cell element.
