Preparation and Characterization of Potato Starch Film with Various Size of Nano-SiO₂.

ABSTRACT: The various sizes (15, 30, 80, and 100 nm) of nano-SiO₂/potato starch films were synthesized and characterized. The gas permeability, antibacterial properties, and mechanical properties of the films were evaluated to their potential for application as food packaging materials. Results indicated that the 100 nm nano-SiO₂ was well dispersed in the starch matrix, which induced an active group on the surface of 100 nm nano-SiO₂ adequately combined with starch macromolecule. The water resistance and mechanical properties of the films were improved with the addition of nano-SiO₂. Notably, resistance to ultraviolet and thermal aging was also enhanced. The nano-SiO₂/potato starch films were more efficient against Escherichia coli (E. coli) than Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Remarkable preservation properties of the films packaging the white mushrooms were obtained, with those of the 100 nm films considered superior. This study can significantly guide the rational choice of the nano-SiO₂ size to meet the packaging requirements of various agricultural products.

A soluble starch synthase I gene, IbSSI, alters the content, composition, granule size and structure of starch in transgenic sweet potato.

Project description:Soluble starch synthase I (SSI) is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of plant amylopectin. In this study, the gene named IbSSI, was cloned from sweet potato, an important starch crop. A high expression level of IbSSI was detected in the leaves and storage roots of the sweet potato. Its overexpression significantly increased the content and granule size of starch and the proportion of amylopectin by up-regulating starch biosynthetic genes in the transgenic plants compared with wild-type plants (WT) and RNA interference plants. The frequency of chains with degree of polymerization (DP) 5-8 decreased in the amylopectin fraction of starch, whereas the proportion of chains with DP 9-25 increased in the IbSSI-overexpressing plants compared with WT plants. Further analysis demonstrated that IbSSI was responsible for the synthesis of chains with DP ranging from 9 to 17, which represents a different chain length spectrum in vivo from its counterparts in rice and wheat. These findings suggest that the IbSSI gene plays important roles in determining the content, composition, granule size and structure of starch in sweet potato. This gene may be utilized to improve the content and quality of starch in sweet potato and other plants.

Potato Starch Utilization in Ecological Loose-Fill Packaging Materials-Sustainability and Characterization.

Project description:Biodegradable materials are used in the manufacture of packaging and compostable films and various types of medical products. These have demonstrated high potential in medical applications: cardiac, vascular and orthopaedic conditions in adults as well in children. In our research, the extrusion-cooking technique was used to obtain environmentally friendly loose-fill foams as packaging. Potato starch was the basic raw material. Polyvinyl alcohol was used as an additive in the amount of 1%, 2% and 3% to replace starch. The components were mixed and moistened with water to various initial moisture contents of the blend (17%, 18% and 19%). The processing of starch foams employed the TS-45 single screw extruder-cooker (Gliwice, Poland) with the L/D ratio of 12. The foams were processed with various screw speeds (100 and 130 rpm) and with two types of forming dies (circular and ring die). The extrusion-cooking process efficiency (kg h-1) and the energy consumption (kWh kg-1) during the processing were also measured. The results showed that the processing efficiency of potato starch foams varied depending on the level of polyvinyl alcohol, the shape of the forming die and the screw speed applied. The analysis of energy consumption, mechanical properties and FTIR analyses demonstrated that the type of the forming die and the initial moisture level had the most significant impact on specific energy demands during the processing of potato starch-based foams.

Physicochemical and Structural Characterization of Potato Starch with Different Degrees of Gelatinization.

Project description:Starch gelatinization has been widely studied previously, but there is still a lack of systematical research on the relationship between the degree of starch gelatinization (DSG) and its physicochemical and structural properties. In this study, potato starch samples with DSG ranging from 39.41% to 90.56% were obtained by hydrothermal treatment. The thermal, rheological, and structural properties, as well as the water-binding capacity of samples were investigated. A starch solution with a DSG of 39.41% was partially sedimented at room temperature, while starch with a DSG of 56.11% can form a stable paste with a fine shear-thinning property, as well as samples with a DSG larger than 56.11%. The endothermic enthalpy, gelatinization range, and short-range ordered structure of starch were negatively correlated with DSG, whereas onset gelatinization temperature, apparent viscosity, and water-binding capacity were positively correlated. The viscoelasticity of starch gels was negatively correlated with the DSG after full gelatinization (DSG > 39.41%). Starch granules gradually lose their typical shape and less birefringence can be observed with increasing DSG. Hydrothermal treatment has a more significant effect on the amount of exposed hydroxyl groups than the ordered and amorphous structures of partially gelatinized starch. This study built linear correlations between starch physicochemical properties and the DSG and provided comprehensive insight into the characteristics of partially gelatinized potato starch.

The Sustainability of Sweet Potato Residues from Starch Processing By-Products: Preparation with Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus and Pediococcus pentosaceus, Characterization, and Application.

Project description:The effects of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus and Pediococcus pentosaceus on the nutritional-functional composition, structure, in vitro saliva-gastrointestinal digestion, and colonic fermentation behaviors of fermented sweet potato residues (FSPR) were investigated. The FSPR was obtained under the condition of a solid-to-liquid ratio of 1/10, inoculation quantity of 1.5%, mixed bacteria ratio 1:1, fermentation time of 48 h, and fermentation temperature of 37 °C. The FSPR showed higher contents of soluble dietary fiber (15.02 g/100 g), total polyphenols content (95.74 mg/100 g), lactic acid (58.01 mg/g), acetic acid (1.66 mg/g), volatile acids (34.26%), and antioxidant activities. As exhibited by FTIR and SEM, the higher peak intensity at 1741 cm-1 and looser structure were observed in FSPR. Further, the FSPR group at colonic fermentation time of 48 h showed higher content of acetic acid (1366.88 µg/mL), propionic acid (40.98 µg/mL), and butyric acid (22.71 µg/mL), which were the metabolites produced by gut microbiota using dietary fiber. Meanwhile, the abundance of Bifidobacterium and Lacticaseibacillus in the FSPR group was also improved. These results indicated that FSPR potentially developed functional foods that contributed to colonic health.

Potato starch synthases: Functions and relationships.

Project description:Starch, a very compact form of glucose units, is the most abundant form of storage polyglucan in nature. The starch synthesis pathway is among the central biochemical pathways, however, our understanding of this important pathway regarding genetic elements controlling this pathway, is still insufficient. Starch biosynthesis requires the action of several enzymes. Soluble starch synthases (SSs) are a group of key players in starch biosynthesis which have proven their impact on different aspects of the starch biosynthesis and functionalities. These enzymes have been studied in different plant species and organs in detail, however, there seem to be key differences among species regarding their contributions to the starch synthesis. In this review, we consider an update on various SSs with an emphasis on potato SSs as a model for storage organs. The genetics and regulatory mechanisms of potato starch synthases will be highlighted. Different aspects of various isoforms of SSs are also discussed.

Preparation and characterization of a ciprofloxacin-loaded nanoparticles incorporated polymeric film dressing.

Project description:In an effort to prepare a modern polysaccharide-based dressing for sustained/prolonged delivery of the antibacterial agent to prevent and control skin wound infection, ciprofloxacin (CP)-loaded sodium alginate (SA)-chitosan (CS) nanoparticles (NPs) were incorporated into novel arabinoxylan (AX)-pectin (PC) blended polymeric films by solvent casting. The CP-NPs were prepared by a two-step ionic interaction method with < 300 nm size, about 25 mV zeta potential, 74% CP-loading efficiency, and approximately round shape. The CP-NPs were incorporated in optimized AX-PC polymeric film prepared by using 2% AX and 2% PC with a plasticizer (2% glycerol) and then these films were characterized for suitability as a film dressing. The transparency, improved mechanical strength, thermal stability, water transmission, and exudate uptake characteristics indicated that CP-NPs incorporated AX-PC polymeric films were suitable for dressing applications. The CP-NPs incorporated AX-PC films exhibited sustained CP release (90% release in 36 h) and better antibacterial susceptibility as compared to free CP-containing AX-PC films. Thus, CP-NPs incorporated AX-PC films are promising dressing materials to prevent and control wound infection with prolonged antibiotic release.

A Comprehensive Characterization of Biodegradable Edible Films Based on Potato Peel Starch Plasticized with Glycerol.

Project description:Potatoes are a source of starch, which is an eco-friendly alternative to petrochemicals in plastic production. Increasing potato production also creates agricultural waste that could be converted to potato peel starch (PPS) and developed as films. A response surface method approach was employed to optimize the bioconversion of PPS (2, 4, and 6% w/v) and compared with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)-based films. The microstructure analysis of PPSF showed increased thickness, decreased swelling power, water solubility, and vapor permeability, which were linked to increased molecular interactions as a function of PPS increments. However, low-starch PPSF exhibited high transparency, good mechanical properties, and thermal stability (high melting temperature), pliability, and accelerated seawater and soil biodegradation (~90%: 20 and 50 days, respectively). All films exhibited thermal stability at >100 °C and retained similar amorphous characteristics, evidenced by their flexibility, which confirmed the potential use for PPS in packaging perishable and cooled foods.

Dispersion preparation, characterization, and dosimetric analysis of cellulose nano-fibrils and nano-crystals: Implications for cellular toxicological studies.

Project description:The characterization of cellulose-based nanomaterial (CNM) suspensions in environmental and biological media is impaired because of their high carbon content and anisotropic shape, thus making it difficult to derive structure activity relationships (SAR) in toxicological studies. Here, a standardized method for the dispersion preparation and characterization of cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) and nanocrystals (CNC) in biological and environmental media was developed. Specifically, electron microscopy was utilized and allowed to specify optimum practices for efficiently suspending CNF and CNC in water and cell culture medium. Furthermore, a technique for measuring the in vitro particle kinetics of CNF and CNC suspended in cell culture medium utilizing fluorescently tagged materials was developed to assess the delivery rate of such CNM at the bottom of the well. Interestingly, CNF were shown to settle and create a loosely packed layer at the bottom of cell culture wells within a few hours. On the contrary, CNC settled gradually at a significantly slower rate, highlighting the discordance between administered and delivered mass dose. This work is both novel and urgent in the field of environmental health and safety as it introduces well-defined techniques for the dispersion and characterization of emerging, cellulose-based engineered nanomaterials. It also provides useful insights to the in vitro behavior of suspended anisotropic nanomaterials in general, which should enable dosimetry and comparison of toxicological data across laboratories as well as promote the safe and sustainable use of nanotechnology.

Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Hybrid Flocculants Based on Potato Starch Copolymers with Hollow Carbon Spheres.

Project description:Novel carbon nanofiller-based starch-g-polyacrylamide hybrid flocculation materials (St-PAM-CS) were in situ prepared using potato starch (St), acrylamide (AM), and hollow mesoporous carbon spheres (CSs; diameters of 300-400 nm). Structures of different St-PAM-CS systems were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-Ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), laser scanning microscopy (LSM), and particle size analysis. The flocculation tests were evaluated by removing high turbidity kaolin suspension-initial absorbance 1.84. The effect of the St to AM molar ratio, doses, and content of CSs in hybrids on flocculation efficiency were examined. Satisfactory flocculation efficiency was obtained for all hybrids with 1 wt.% of the CS component. The highest reduction of the kaolin suspension absorbance (to 0.06) was observed for a 3 mL dose of the starch hybrid with the highest AM content. Additionally, St-PAM-CS showed a reduction in the sludge volume in time. The hybrids reached better flocculation efficiency in relation to the reference systems without CSs. The proposed flocculation mechanism (considering bridging, patching, and formation of hydrogen bonds) has been confirmed by the recorded results.
