Article Abstract

Background: Remaining pharmaceutical compounds cause environmental pollution. Therefore, refining these compounds has become a major challenge. In this study, the function of eliminating Cefixime (CFX) using rice starch was evaluated under controlled conditions.

Methods: Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used to design, analyze, and optimize experiments, and the interaction between four variables including pH (3-9), rice starch dose (0-300 ), CFX initial concentration (0-16 ) and time (20-120 ) was investigated on CFX removal.

Results: The optimum pH, starch dose, initial concentration and time were 4.5, 225 , 7.9 and 95 , respectively. The maximum efficiency of CFX removal was 70.22%. According to RSM, this study follows a quadratic model (R=0.954).

Conclusion: Rice starch has been successful in removing CFX from the aqueous solution. Therefore, it is recommended to utilize this process to remove CFX from aqueous solutions.

Frozen storage deteriorates the texture and digestibility of frozen rice dough by damaging gliadin structure and starch integrity. This study investigated carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCh) and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMCNa) as cry-oprotectants to mitigate these effects. Comprehensive analysis utilizing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), texture profile analysis (TPA), dynamic contact angle measurement (DCAT21), reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), and circular dichroism (CD) demonstrated that 1.

Background And Aims: Cell wall invertases have multiple roles in plant growth and development, yet their biological functions in seed oil production are still not understood.

Methods: In the present study, the Oryza sativa (rice) cell wall invertase gene OsGIF1 (GRAIN INCOMPLETE FILLING 1) was ectopically expressed in Glycine max (Soybean) and its functions in grain yield and seed nutrition was investigated.

Key Results: We found that constitutive expression of OsGIF1 significantly improved biomass production, grain yield and seed nutrition in transgenic plants.

Hydrocolloids are utilized in starch-based foods for water-holding, thickening, and gelation, yet their molecular interactions with starch in extrusion systems remain underexplored; this study evaluates physicochemical and multiscale structural changes in extruded starch incorporating curdlan (CG) and xanthan (XG). Incorporation of CG and XG significantly counteracted the disruption of the multiscale structure of starch caused by the extrusion treatment, and increased the content of resistant starch. It reduced the content of rapidly digestible starch in extruded starch by 4.

Enhancing both structural integrity and nutritional properties is crucial for developing a functional three-dimensional (3D)-printed surimi formulation. Herein, deep-sea salt was used as a substitute for conventional salt to develop 3D-printed surimi. The physicochemical properties, sensory scores, microstructural examinations, chemical bonding analysis, digestion studies, and antioxidant activity of the 3D-printed surimi were systematically evaluated.
