The main monosaccharide units of CCSP were galactose (25.23 ± 0.81 mg/l) and glucose (4.32 ± 0.31 mg/l). Specifically, FT-IR spectrum of CCSP revealed a peak at 843 cm<sup>−1</sup> which indicates the occurrence of sulfate groups on C-4 of galactose. CCSP stimulated Carp Leukocyte Culture (CLC) cell line to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) in a dose-dependent manner. Remarkably, exposure of CLC cells to CCSP at a dose of 12.5 µg/ml significantly increased superoxide dismutase activity and reduced malondialdehyde level. These results suggest that CCSP could stimulate CLC cells without compromising the intracellular antioxidant system, hence, may have potential applications as nutraceuticals.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":12385,"journal":{"name":"Food Hydrocolloids for Health","volume":"3 ","pages":"Article 100135"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45698839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

HMT at mild temperatures caused a minor change with no significant effect in the total starch content of the treated rice, as well as the moisture content and firmness of the cooked rice (<em>P</em> > 0.05). However, the resistant starch content increased with increasing HMT temperature and time, and a significant difference was found between the control and the treated rice subjected at 65 °C.
