Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) shows that HACS displays a higher gelatinization temperature, wider endothermic gelatinization range, and higher enthalpy. Autoclaved corn starch exhibits enhanced thermal stability than the raw corn starch. X‐ray diffraction (XRD) shows that ACT does not change the crystalline type but increases the relative crystallinity (RC). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) indicates that HACS exhibits a higher degree of order (DO) and double helixes (DHs) than normal corn starch (NCS), which are reduced by ACT. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) reveals that HACS displays denser structures and smaller particle morphologies than NCS. After ACT, the granular of autoclaved corn starch shows a rough fiber network structure. Digestibility analysis reveals a positive correlation between the amylose content and resistant starch (RS) level in raw starch, while ACT promotes significant RS formation. This suggests that amylose promotes ordered structure formation, while autoclaving increased digestive resistance.","PeriodicalId":21967,"journal":{"name":"Starch - Stärke","volume":"34 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140661223","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}

The urgent need for sustainable materials to address plastic waste have resulted in the production of biodegradable plastics. In this study, a biodegradable plastic film is produced by incorporating chitosan with starch from Malaysian cassava (Manihot esculenta), utilizing the multihydroxyl properties of cassava starch. The results show that the addition of chitosan as a filler in cassava starch improves the physicochemical properties of the material, producing a bioplastic film with high compressive strength and resistance to water molecules. The contact angle of the developed biopolymer has been improved – from θ = 67.4° to θ = 97.8° – with the addition of the –NH functional group in the molecule, as confirmed by attenuated total reflectance Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy (v = 1555 cm−1). The tensile strength of bioplastic increases with chitosan content, proving its greater rigidity compared to bioplastic without chitosan. Additionally, the fastest biodegradation rate (9 days) occurs in the composition with high amounts of cassava in a ratio of 6:4 (cassava:chitosan). The bioplastic produced in this study readily decomposes in the environment, making it more sustainable, eco‐friendlier, and providing an alternative to mitigate the use of single‐use thermoplastics.","PeriodicalId":21967,"journal":{"name":"Starch - Stärke","volume":"28 15","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140673164","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}

Further, the electrospun nanofibers are encapsulated with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), in situ, to form a nanocomposite, whose surface morphology are characterized using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The SEM images showed smooth nanofiber strands (average diameter = 240 nm), with AgNPs randomly dispersed on them. The antibacterial activity of the nanocomposite is tested against five bacterial species. The results obtained showed that the nanonomposite has strong inhibitory effects against Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative bacteria, whereas the pristine nanofibers showed minimal or no antibacterial activity.

The IL/water system has the advantage to plasticize starch more effectively due to their synchronal effect and rational viscosity. The properties of ILs can be tempered by preferring particular cations/anions according to the specific type of starch which may be helpful in convenient dissolution and modification of starch. Starch can be modified by esterification or etherification reaction in IL medium to alter their properties and to use it in various application areas.

The composition of these polysaccharides is analyzed using gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry (GC‐MS). The viscosity and shear‐thinning behavior of gum are directly influenced by its concentration and the presence of NaCl, whereas they are inversely affected by temperature. The gum has strong potential as a thickening agent for dispersed systems. The mucoadhesion strength of the gum insoluble fraction is 109 ± 4.58 g cm−2, indicating excellent adhesiveness for application to mucoadhesive formulations. Cells’ proliferation enhancement is found for the isolated manno‐arabinoglucan (MW: ≤1.27 kDa) and galacto‐arabinan (MW: ≥667.8 kDa) at concentrations lower than 400 µ mL−1, but at higher concentrations they inhibited the proliferation. The isolated pectic galacto‐arabinan (MW: 669.58 kDa) exhibited a proliferative effect at 250 µg mL−1, but the isolated manno‐galactoglucan (MW: 80.90 kDa) showed cytotoxicity at higher doses. The isolated proteoglycans has mostly galacto‐arabinan backbones with immunomodulatory properties.

Results show that increasing the amount of PMMA beads result in higher porosity hydrogels ranging from ≈35% for hydrogels where no PMMA beads are used to ≈88% for hydrogels where the mass ratio of PMMA beads to starch is 10:1. Higher porosity hydrogels have a higher equilibrium water content and swelling degree, but lower mechanical properties. All hydrogels have a low solubility (<≈5%) and a high gel fraction (>≈90%) percentage. Upon degradation in α‐amylase at 37 °C, low porosity hydrogels (prepare with 0:1 and 1:10 PMMA beads:starch) degrade within 30 min, while high porosity hydrogels (prepare with 1:1 and 10:1 PMMA beads:starch) degrade within 3 weeks.
