Article Abstract

Phytic acid (PA) and malic acid (MA), as environmentally friendly, plant-based water-soluble acids, were applied to normal corn starch during dry heating at mildly acidic pH to improve its gelatinization and retrogradation behaviors. A significant increase in peak viscosity (5011-6338 mPa·s) was observed in starch treated with MA compared to native corn starch (1162 mPa·s). The treatment with PA and MA further increased the peak viscosity (8140-8621 mPa·s). The interactions of PA and MA with starch were analyzed using ICP-OES, FTIR, and C CP/MAS NMR. Swelling power and solubility increased in MA and PA + MA starches. After storage at 4 °C for 14 d, MA and PA + MA starches produced transparent and fluid gels without forming B-type crystals, which indicated inhibition of starch retrogradation by PA and MA treatments. In conclusion, dry heating with PA and MA produced starch with remarkably superior paste viscosity, swelling, and inhibition of retrogradation.

Injectable Plant Phosphate Coordination Compound-Based Adhesive Hydrogel Accelerates Osteoporotic Fracture Healing by Restoring Osteoclast/Osteoblast Imbalance.

Osteoporotic fractures are notoriously difficult to heal due to an imbalance between osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Current treatments often have limited efficacy or adverse side effects, necessitating safer and more effective solutions. Here, we developed an injectable plant-derived phosphate coordination compound-based adhesive hydrogel (MgPA-Gel) to restore bone homeostasis by integrating magnesium ions (Mg)-phytic acid (PA) nanoparticles with aminated gelatin (Gel-NH) and aldehydated starch (AS).

The unregulated use and improper disposal of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly phenylbutazone (PBZ), are contaminating water resources and posing serious risks to the food chain. PBZ is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) commonly used for treating pain and fever in animals, and its persistence in the environment due to inadequate waste management has become a cause of concern. To address this, we report the fabrication of benzimidazole-based self-assembled nanomicelles (R2 NMs) for selective detection and removal of PBZ.

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: Increasing evidence suggests a potential role of the gut microbiota in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the relationship between the gut microbiome (GM) and PD dementia (PDD) remains debated, with their causal effects and underlying mechanisms not yet fully understood.

Methods: Utilizing data from large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWASs), this study applied bidirectional and mediating Mendelian randomization (MR) to investigate the causal relationship and underlying mechanisms between the GM and PDD.
