Instead of consumption of traditional natural foods the refined foods containing high calories are consumed every day leading several diseases. The consumption of a high amount of resistant starches may improve glucose and lipid metabolism can reduce the risk of several diseases. The main aim of the study was to examine the effect of microwave (MW) treatment of resistant and native starches as ...

Abstract Background Pharmaceutical excipient development is an extensive process requiring a series of pre-formulation studies to evaluate their performance. The present study compares the conventional compaction and compression with artificial intelligence (AI) modeling predict performances thermally chemically modified starches obtained from Livingstone potato. Results native starch was by th...

Wronkowska M., Soral-Śmietana M. (2012): Fermentation of native wheat, potato, and pea starches, and their preparations by Bifidobacterium – changes in resistant starch content. Czech J. Food Sci., 30: 9–14. The capability was studied of the selected Bifidobacterium strains to utilise the resistant starch fraction (RS) from native starches of the following origin: wheat, potato, and pea, and th...

The properties of starch can be modified by a variety of methods in order to meet desirable technological needs. Electron beam irradiation is able to induce changes in starch properties. The paper deals with investigation of physicochemical and structural modifications of corn starch processed by electron beam up to 50 kGy and evaluation of the technical-economic aspects of starch processing. P...

Chemical modifications (citrification, acetylation and phosphorylation) of breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis) starch were performed using dual (microwave-assisted chemical) processes, the physicochemical properties, degree substitution in-vitro hydrolysis modified starches evaluated standard methods while changes in molecular structure was assessed Fourier transform-infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. T...

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 ...

The aim of this work was to verify how and to what extent rheological tests, carried out under dynamic (Heckel) and static (creep, stress/strain) porosity conditions, may serve as a valuable complement to the classic Heckel tests in the characterization of viscoelastic and densification properties of solid materials for pharmaceutical use. Six different modified (pregelatinized) starches were c...

Developing host digestion-resistant starches to promote human health is of great research interest. Chemically modified starches (CMS) are widely used in processed foods and although the modification of the starch molecule allows specific reduction in digestibility, the metabolic effects of CMS have been less well described. This short-term study evaluated the impact of enzymatically modified s...
