Dans cet article, nous détaillons et étudions TAPIOCA (distribuTed and AdaPtive IntersectiOns Control Algorithm), un algorithme distribué qui défini les séquences et durées des feux verts dans un système de transport intelligent. TAPIOCA s’appuie sur les données recueillies par un réseau de capteurs sans fil déployé aux intersections afin de décider localement de son programme. TAPIOCA ne se re...

BACKGROUND Resistant starch (RS) is known for potential health benefits in the human colon. To investigate these positive effects it is important to be able to predict the amount, and the structure of starch reaching the large intestine. AIM OF THE STUDY The aim of this study was to compare two different in vitro models simulating the digestibility of two RS containing preparations. METHODS...

Probiotics play important roles in many crucial functions for maintaining the homeostasis of host, such as protection against pathogens, immunity and metabolism dietary compounds. Resistant starch (RS) is or products which cannot be digested through body, but can by gut microbiota, producing a variety metabolites provide range physiological benefits to host. An RS classified prebiotic if it sel...

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a major public health concern worldwide which can lead to a series of disabling complications and diseases. β-glucans are non-starch polysaccharides that are being used as food additives for their numerous health benefits including the ability to lower the postprandial glucose response. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of substituting β-glucans on the ...

In this study, Zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by gel-combustion method using a novel bio-fuel tapioca starch pearls, derived from the tubers of Mannihot esculenta, to investigate the photocatalytic degradation of ccaffeine. The ZnO photocatalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and UV-visible spectroscopy. X-ray diffractometry result f...

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...
