In this research, modification of long-chain inulin (FXL) through phosphorylation (PFXL) to enhance its application in wheat starch (WS) and starch-based products. The impacts of PFXL on the pasting, rheology, microstructure, and retrogradation characteristics of WS were researched. The findings revealed that PFXL significantly reduced both the breakdown and setback values of WS. Additionally, the incorporation of PFXL reduced the viscoelasticity of WS paste and improved its fluidity. Scanning electron microscopy indicated that higher PFXL levels (>5 %) produced small fragments that partially covered the three-dimensional honeycomb structure of WS paste, thereby reducing water loss during short-term storage. PFXL also altered water distribution in WS gels, depending on concentration and storage duration. X-ray diffraction and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy suggested that PFXL effectively inhibited amylopectin recrystallization. Compared to FXL, PFXL exhibited a more pronounced ability to inhibit the aging of WS in short- and long-term storage.

This study compared the effects of phosphorylated modified long-chain inulin (PF) with low (PF1), medium (PF3), and high (PF6) degrees of substitution on the rheological, thermal, gluten network depolymerization characteristics, and microstructure of unfrozen and frozen dough. The results showed that PF increased G', G", Tp, and ΔH of unfrozen and frozen dough. Gluten protein analysis revealed that PF significantly increased the SS and α-helix content in gluten, with 3 %FPF3 showing an 11.

This study aims to investigate the effects of phosphorylated long-chain inulin (PF) with different degrees of substitution on frozen dough. Phosphorylated derivatives with low (PF1), medium (PF3), and high (PF6) degrees of substitution were prepared. PF significantly enhanced the water-binding capacity of frozen dough, yeast activity, gluten protein stability, and the quality of frozen dough steamed bread.

The gut microbiota has been implicated in the modulation of food allergies. Building on previous studies on the preventive effects of combining short-chain fructan 1-kestose (Kes) and long-chain fructan inulin (Inu) in food allergies, we investigated their therapeutic effects in an ovalbumin (OVA)-induced food allergy mouse model. Following OVA sensitization, the mice received 5% Kes and Inu, either individually or a combined 2.

Certain miscellaneous beans have a low glycemic index (GI) and may reduce the risk of chronic metabolic disorders, including type 2 diabetes and obesity, by modulating postprandial glucose homeostasis and blood lipid levels. In this study, red kidney bean flour and wheat gluten were used as raw materials, and long-chain inulin phosphate monoester (PFXL) was added to improve the quality of red kidney bean dough, prepare high-quality steamed bread, and explore its health effect on type 2 diabetes. The results showed that the addition of PFXL improved the water distribution and rheological properties of coarse grain dough and enriched the flavor of coarse grain steamed bread.
