Food Chem 2024; 452:139424. [PMID: 38754167 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139424] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2023] [Revised: 04/17/2024] [Accepted: 04/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024]
Abstract
This study explores the influence of incorporating L-cysteine (L-Cys), chitosan (CTS), and citric acid (CA) on the enzymatic modification of potato starch (EPS) films to enhance anti-browning properties. Four types of EPS composite films were evaluated for preserving fresh-cut potato slices at low temperatures to inhibit browning. Their thermal, physiochemical, mechanical, and digestibility properties were assessed. Results indicate that the addition of CTS, CA, and L-Cys improved the anti-browning activity of the EPS films by increasing film thickness and reducing water vapor permeability (WVP), oxygen transmission rate (OTR), ultraviolet (UV) transmittance, and tensile strength (TS). Furthermore, these additives improved the film's microstructure, resulting in reinforced intermolecular interactions, increased elongation at break, heightened crystallinity, enhanced thermal stability, and favorable gastrointestinal digestibility. Overall, EPS/CTS/L-Cys/CA composite films show promise as edible packaging materials with effective anti-browning properties.

[PMID: 37956796 DOI: 10.1016/j.biotechadv.2023.108281] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2023] [Revised: 10/27/2023] [Accepted: 11/05/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023]
Abstract
In their pristine state, starch and lignin are abundant and inexpensive natural polymers frequently considered green alternatives to oil-based and synthetic polymers. Despite their availability and owing to their physicochemical properties; starch and lignin are not often utilized in their pristine forms for high-performance applications. Generally, chemical and physical modifications transform them into starch- and lignin-based materials with broadened properties and functionality. In the last decade, the combination of starch and lignin for producing reinforced materials has gained significant attention. The reinforcing of starch matrices with lignin has received primary focus because of the enhanced water sensitivity, UV protection, and mechanical and thermal resistance that lignin introduces to starch-based materials. This review paper aims to assess starch-lignin materials' production and characterization technologies, highlighting their physicochemical properties, outcomes, challenges, and opportunities. First, this paper describes the current status, sources, and chemical modifications of lignin and starch. Next, the discussion is oriented toward starch-lignin materials and their production approaches, such as blends, composites, plasticized/crosslinked films, and coupled polymers. Special attention is given to the characterization methods of starch-lignin materials, focusing on their advantages, disadvantages, and expected outcomes. Finally, the challenges, opportunities, and future perspectives in developing starch-lignin materials, such as adhesives, coatings, films, and controlled delivery systems, are discussed.

Adsorption properties of corn starch modified by malt amylases and crosslinking agents: A comparison between sodium trimetaphosphate and organic acids. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:127140. [PMID: 37778579 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127140] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2023] [Revised: 09/24/2023] [Accepted: 09/27/2023] [Indexed: 10/03/2023]
Abstract
In order to investigate the effects of different crosslinking agents on physicochemical properties and adsorption properties of porous starch. Native corn starch was hydrolyzed by maltase and crosslinked with different crosslinking agents. Sodium trimetaphosphate crosslinked porous starch (STMP-MPS), malic acid cross-linked porous starch (MA-MPS) and citric acid cross-linked porous starch (CA-MPS) were prepared. After crosslinking, MA-MPS and CA-MPS showed a new CO stretching absorption peak at 1738 cm-1, and the crosslinking degree was much higher than that of STMP-MPS. The surface area of MA-MPS was 36 % higher than that of STMP-MPS. Compared with the average pore size of 12.43 nm of STMP-MPS, CA-MPS (14.02 nm) and MA-MPS (14.79 nm) were increased more significantly. The degradation temperature of MA-MPS and CA-MPS was increased by the introduction of ester bond, which indicates that the organic acid cross-linking strengthens the starch granules and hence more energy is required for disruption. Compared with STMP-MPS, the water absorption of MA-MPS and CA-MPS increased by 64 % and 32 %, respectively. Furthermore, the adsorption capacity of MA-MPS to essential oil was the strongest, about 4 times that of STMP-MPS. Overall, it is feasible to modify porous starch by crosslinking reaction to improve its heat resistance and adsorption properties.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of pullulanase debranching on the structural properties and digestibility of maize starch (MS)-glyceryl monostearate (GMS) complexes. According to our results, the apparent amylose content of MS increased from 36.34 % to 95.55 % and complex index reached 93.09 % after 16 h of pullulanase debranching. The crystallinity of prepared MS-GMS complexes increased to 33.24 % with a blend of B-type and V-type crystals. The surface of prepared MS-GMS complexes granules emerged more small lamellar crystals tightly adhering to the surface of granules. The Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy analysis showed that debranching pretreatment MS-GMS complexes exhibited higher levels of short-range orders structure. These results indicated that maize starch was favorable to form more ordered starch-lipid complexes structure after debranching pretreatment, which resulted in the restriction of starch hydrolysis. In vitro digestion data implied that resistant starch (RS) content increased with the extension of the debranching time, and the highest RS content (69.58 %) appeared with 16 h pullulanase debranching. This work suggests that debranching pretreatment could be an efficient way to produce ordered starch-lipid complexes with controllable structure and anti-digestibility.

Abstract
In the present study, the morphology, refined structure, thermal properties, and dynamic rheological, texture, and digestive properties of common vetch starch, a potential new type of legume starch, were systematically investigated, and compared with commercially available pea and mung bean starch. The results showed that the composition and chemical structure of common vetch starch were similar to the pea and mung bean starch. However, the amylose content (35.69), A-chain proportion (37.62), and relative crystallinity (34.16) of common vetch starch were higher, and the particle size and molecular weight (44,042 kDa) were larger. The value of pasting properties and enthalpy change (ΔH) of gelatinization of common vetch starch was lower and higher than mung bean and pea starch, respectively, and a lower swelling power and pasting index indicate that common vetch starch had higher hot-paste and cold-paste stability. In addition, common vetch starch gel exhibited good rheology, cohesiveness, and anti-digestive properties. These results provide new insights into the broader application of common vetch starch.

Abstract
To better understand the correlation between structure and properties in thermoplastic starch biopolymer blend films, the effects of amylose content, chain length distribution of amylopectin and molecular orientation of thermoplastic sweet potato starch (TSPS) and thermoplastic pea starch (TPES) on microstructure and functional properties of thermoplastic starch biopolymer blend films were studied. After thermoplastic extrusion, the amylose contents of TSPS and TPES decreased by 16.10 % and 13.13 %, respectively. The proportion of the chains with the degree of polymerization between 9 and 24 of amylopectin in TSPS and TPES increased from 67.61 % to 69.50 %, and from 69.51 % to 71.06 %, respectively. As a result, the degree of crystallinity and molecular orientation of TSPS and TPES films increased as compared to sweet potato starch and pea starch films. The thermoplastic starch biopolymer blend films possessed a more homogeneous and compacter network. The tensile strength and water resistance of thermoplastic starch biopolymer blend films increased significantly, whereas thickness and elongation at break of thermoplastic starch biopolymer blend films decreased significantly.

Abstract
To illustrate the correlations between molecular structures and the film-forming properties of thermoplastic starch from various botanical sources, starches from cereal, tuber and legume were modified by thermoplastic extrusion and the corresponding thermoplastic starch films were prepared including thermoplastic corn starch (TCS), thermoplastic rice starch (TRS), thermoplastic sweet potato starch (TSPS), thermoplastic cassava starch (TCAS) and thermoplastic pea starch (TPES) films. TPES film displayed a higher tensile strength (6.28 MPa) and stronger water resistance, such as lower water solubility (15.70 %), water absorption (42.35 %), and water vapor permeability (0.285 g·mm·h-1·m-2·kPa-1) due to higher contents of amylose and B1 chains. TCAS showed a smoother and more amorphous film due to higher amylopectin content, resulting higher elongation at break and larger opacity. TCS film was the most transparent due to a compacter network and more ordered crystallinity structure, which was suit for the packaging of fresh vegetables and aquatic products, whereas TCAS film was the opaquest, which protected package foods from light such as meat products, etc. The outcome would provide an innovative theory to regulate accurately the functional properties of thermoplastic starch films for different food needs.

Biopolymers as green-based food packaging materials: A focus on modified and unmodified starch-based films. Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf 2023; 22:1148-1183.

Abstract
The ideal food packaging materials are recyclable, biodegradable, and compostable. Starch from plant sources, such as tubers, legumes, cereals, and agro-industrial plant residues, is considered one of the most suitable biopolymers for producing biodegradable films due to its natural abundance and low cost. The chemical modification of starch makes it possible to produce films with better technological properties by changing the functional groups into starch. Using biopolymers extracted from agro-industrial waste can add value to a raw material that would otherwise be discarded. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has driven a rise in demand for single-use plastics, intensifying pressure on this already out-of-control issue. This review provides an overview of biopolymers, with a particular focus on starch, to develop sustainable materials for food packaging. This study summarizes the methods and provides a potential approach to starch modification for improving the mechanical and barrier properties of starch-based films. This review also updates some trends pointed out by the food packaging sector in the last years, considering the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Perspectives to achieve more sustainable food packaging toward a more circular economy are drawn.

Three extraction methods: water extraction, lactic acid bacteria fermentation, and back-slopping fermentation were applied to extract a new type of legume starch, common vetch starch. Our results showed that the lactic acid bacteria fermented starch had the highest amylose content (35.69%), followed by the back-slopping fermented starch (32.34%), and the water-extracted starch (30.25%). Furthermore, erosion surface, lower molecular weight, smaller particle size, larger specific surface area, and a higher proportion of B1 chain were observed in the fermented starch, especially in the back-slopping fermented starch. All the extracted starches showed a type C structure, but a type CB structure was observed in the back-slopping fermented starch. In addition, the relative crystallinity of the lactic acid bacteria fermented starch (34.16%) and the back-slopping fermented starch (39.43%) was significantly higher than that of the water-extracted starch (30.22%). Moreover, the swelling power, solubility, pasting, and thermal properties of the fermented starches were also improved. In conclusion, the fermentation extraction method, especially back-slopping fermentation, could improve the quality of the extracted common vetch starch when compared with the traditional water extraction method.

Luo D, Xie Q, Gu S, Xue W. Potato starch films by incorporating tea polyphenol and MgO nanoparticles with enhanced physical, functional and preserved properties. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 221:108-120. [PMID: 36075301 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.09.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2022] [Revised: 08/26/2022] [Accepted: 09/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022]
Abstract
Due to the massive environmental pollution caused by synthetic plastic packaging accumulation and contemporary necessities of food packaging materials, the biodegradable and multifunctional bionanocomposite films based on potato starch (PS) incorporating tea polyphenol (TP) and MgO nanoparticles (MgO-NPs) were successfully fabricated by the solution casting method, and their physical and functional properties and application in fruits preservation were systematically investigated. Incorporation of TP and MgO-NPs improved the films' tensile strength, UV light-blocking, hydrophobicity and thermal stability, and decreased their moisture content (from 14.02 % to 11.21 %), water solubility (from 19.57 % to 16.56 %), and water vapor permeability (from 17.32 to 9.07 × 10-11 g∙m-1∙s-1∙Pa-1). Moreover, the PS/TP/MgO-NPs films exhibited strong antioxidant activity, and remarkable antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus with the diameter of inhibition zone of 25.60 mm and 27.50 mm, respectively. SEM, ATR-FTIR and XRD analyses indicated the TP and MgO-NPs were dispersed homogeneously in the PS matrix, and identified the molecular interactions of hydrogen bond, hydrophobic interaction and electrostatic attraction. Biodegradability assessment showed that all the films were rapidly decomposed within ~20 days under simulated environmental conditions. Compared to control, the PS/TP/MgO-NPs film-forming solution coatings were capable of maintaining fruit quality by reducing the change in weight loss, firmness and total soluble solids. Overall, these results suggested that the multifunctional bionanocomposite films could be a potential approach for developing sustainable active food packaging.
