Starch is the most abundant biomass and potential replacement of single-use packaging; however, lack water durability wet strength restrict applicability starches. Hemiacetal/acetals cross-linked starch film have stability, possess poor owing to crystallinity. In this study, we prepared TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofiber (TCNF)/starch composite films by mixing different-storage-duration native ...

Knowledge on dynamic interactions in microbiota is pivotal for understanding the role of bacteria in the gut. We herein present comprehensive dynamic models of the horse cecal microbiota, which include short-chained fatty acids, carbohydrate metabolic networks, and taxonomy. Dynamic models were derived from time-series data in a crossover experiment in which four cecum-cannulated horses were fe...

A novel enzyme immobilization approach was used to generate mesoporous enzymes-silica composite microparticles by co-entrapping gelatinized starch and cross-linked phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) aggregates (CLEAs) containing gelatinized starch into biomemitic silica and subsequently removing the starch by α-amylase treatment. During the preparation process, the gelatinzed starch served as a ...

Objectives: This study aims to improve and expand the performance of carboxy methyl mung bean starch (CMMS) as a gelling agent and an oil-inwater (o/w) emulsion stabilizer via cross-linking reaction with dichloroacetic acid (DCA). Methods: Mung bean starch was carboxymethylated with chloroacetic acid and subsequently cross-linked with 0.1-10% DCA. Fifteen cross-linked carboxy methyl mung bean s...

Considering the weak gel of tapioca starch and generally incomplete gel-advancing mechanism α-amylase modification, two commercial α-amylases (named A- N-amylase) with different reaction patterns were used to improve strength cross-linked starch. SEM showed that A-amylase exhibited surface erosion pattern, compared an extensive pattern N-amylase. XRD, SAXS, HPGPC-MALLS-RI revealed mainly attack...
