Prior mineral enrichment of NPS with sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium ions yielded significant changes in pasting curves, with monovalent cations increasing peak viscosity, while divalent cations decrease peak viscosity through ionic crosslinking of phosphate groups, allowing further fine tuning of swelling behaviour. Both short and long HMT (4 h and 16 h) triggered partial disruption of crystallinity and an increase in particle size without visible surface damage as evidenced by X-ray diffraction, laser diffraction and scanning electron microscopy.

The SPC, AC, and various multi-scale structures and functional properties of 13 natural potato starches with varying SPC (ranging from 449 ppm to 1004 ppm) and AC (from 18.8 % to 27.8 %) were investigated. It was found that SPC is closely correlated with the length and proportion of branch chains, and potato starches with high SPC tended to have a lower proportion of amylose. An elevation in SPC significantly enhanced the surface layer ordering of starch granules, while an increase in AC restricted the expansion of starch granules. With a critical SPC of 700 ppm, when the SPC of potato starch surpassed this threshold, phosphate played a predominant part in conferring the functional properties to the potato starch. An increase in SPC boosted the swelling capacity and lessened short-term retrogradation and strength of the starch gel. Conversely, when the SPC fell below this threshold, the influence of AC became more prominent. A higher AC promoted short-term retrogradation and strength of the starch gel.

Different concentrations of LGEO (5 %-20 % w/w) and CNCs (0.5 %-1.5 % w/w) were systematically evaluated for their effects on the films' mechanical, antimicrobial, and physicochemical properties.
