In this review, the authors introduce the starch properties and summarize the present status of research on starch properties from different botanical sources. The applications of starch and modified starch and the future direction of the research on raw and modified starch are addressed.

Biodegradable foam is an alternative packaging to replace the expanded polystyrene foam packaging currently in use.   Starch has been used to produce foam because of  its low cost, low density, low toxicity, and  biodegradability. Chitosan has been added to improve mechanical properties of product ....

To enhance the digestion resistibility and short-chain fatty acid contents of corn starch, type 4 resistant starch was obtained by chemical cross-linking with sodium phytate and acylation with acetic, propionic, and butyric anhydride, respectively. The influence of single and double chemical modific...

Plantain (Musa AAB Simmonds) of the Dominico hartón variety from two Colombian territories (Cauca and Risaralda) with differences in altitude was used to extract the flour and starch from the pulp and peel. The plantain of Cauca origin presented the highest yield in flour extraction. Starch extracti...

In order to understand the effect of starch molecular characteristics on the gel structure, which subsequently influence the gel digestion behaviours, three wheat starches, control (conventional wheat starch), two new wheat cultivars with different genetic backgrounds (by knocking out SBE IIb and SB...

The study aimed to compare different methods assessing the nutritive value of wheat grain for broiler chickens, measured as growth performance, including wheat chemical composition, metabolizable energy (ME), starch digestibility (SD) and rate of starch digestion (RSD). Samples from wheat cultivars...

A plastidic adenosine triphosphate (ATP)/adenosine diphosphate (ADP) transporter (AATP) is responsible for importing ATP from the cytosol into plastids. In dicotyledonous plants, increasing ATP supply is a potential way to facilitate anabolic synthesis in heterotrophic plastids. In this study, a gen...

The main purposes were evaluating the influence of different starches on the miscibility with Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and their effects on the spherulite growth rate. Polymer-polymer miscibility in PEO/cationic starch and PEO/hydrophobic starch blends consisting of different w/w ratios (100/0, 95...

Starch phosphorylation is a general phenomenon existing naturally in the plant kingdom. The reaction of phosphorylation catalyzed by the glucan-water dikinase (GWD) is a necessary process during the degradation of the transitory starch in plant. In this review, we summarized the progress made on GWD...

Starch was plasticized with epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) modified by reaction with cinnamic acid (CA), and films were prepared using solvent casting from water/ethanol solutions. They exhibited good hydrophobicity, reduced water sensitivity, and showed the same transparency as glycerol-plasticized c...

Biodegradable foam(biofoam) is a type of bioplastic that is used as an alternative packaging to replace styrofoam which is safe and environmentally friendly. This study aims to determine the characteristics of biofoam made from cassava peel starch (A) and banana peel starch (B), as well as the effec...

Slowly digestible starch (SDS) has gained significant attention for its potential health benefits attributable to its extended glucose release. The gradual and steady release of glucose from SDS helps manage diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and obesity by stabilizing blood sugar levels, reducing in...

Custards have been used in confections all over the world. However, there is growing need to replace allergen-containing components (milk, eggs and wheat) in custard. Therefore, custard was prepared using ingredients like Maize starch, Indian Horse Chestnut starch (IHCNS), milk powder, sugar, carrag...

This study developed a modified okara (the product of co-fermentation with Pleurotus ostreatus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae followed by cellulase treatment), evaluating its effects on noodle quality. Incorporation of 40 % modified okara significantly altered starch digestibility, reducing rapidly di...
