It provides high surface area, great absorption, and protection for active compounds from degradation with controlled release ability. Porous starch is generally produced by different treatment including physical, chemical, enzyme, or their combination and various type of starches. However, production and characterization of porous sago starch is still scarce. This research aimed to, (i) produce porous sago starch using three different pre-treatment methods in combination with ultrasonic and enzymatic treatments, and (ii) characterize the morphology and physicochemical properties of porous sago starch produced by these methods. Microwave, heat moisture and freeze-thaw treatments were used to pre-treated native sago starch, followed by an ultrasonic and enzyme hydrolysis process. The application of freeze-thaw pre-treatment, ultrasonic treatment, and enzyme treatment (FT) resulted in the formation of pore structures on the surface of the granules and the disruption of the double helix bond, as indicated by the lowest value of 0.97 at a band ratio 995/1022 cm<sup>− 1</sup>. Prior to pore formations, the FT sample had the highest absorption capacity for water and oil at 37.04% and 108.74%, respectively. The enthalpy of gelatinization (ΔH) is significantly lower in treated samples (range 2.98–3.13 J/g) compared to the native (3.32 J/g). Regardless of the variation treatments applied, the crystallinity value of all samples remained unchanged, which corresponds to the peak ratio 1047/1022 cm<sup>− 1</sup>.

Bamboo shoots, now considered a superfood, are a good source of micronutrients. However, fresh shoots contain anti-nutrients and must be removed by processing. Though processing food enhances their palatability, taste, shelf life, and removes antinutrients, it also alters their nutrient content. The present article is a comparative study of vitamin and mineral content of fresh and processed (boiled and fermented) bamboo shoots evaluated using HPLC and WDXRF. Boiling reduced vitamin A, B<sub>6</sub>, C, D and E by 20%, 60.83%, 54.73%, 32.41% and 60.38% respectively whereas fermentation improved the vitamin A content and less than 20% reduction was detected in case of vitamin C and D. All macromineral elements were reduced due to processing except calcium and sulfur which increased by 6.33% and 19.86% respectively after fermentation. No significant difference was detected in iron, manganese, and copper content in the processed forms. The selective increase of calcium and sulfur content is likely due to their inherent stability during processing and the concentrating effect of fermentation, which may enhance mineral bioavailability. Both boiling and fermentation of bamboo shoots retained adequate amounts of nutrients as per standard requirement. Fermented shoots are better than boiled shoots in terms of increased availability of essential micronutrients. It can be utilized as a nourishing vegetable which will also help in improving food security and combating hidden hunger.

While various drying techniques have been explored to overcome these issues, there is a lack of comprehensive studies that establish the ideal parameters for superheated steam drying (SSD) to maximise the retention of bioactive compounds while enhancing the functional properties of papaya powder. This study aims to investigate the impact of superheated steam drying (SSD) time and temperature on the physiochemical attributes, functional properties, and antioxidant capacity of papaya powder. Papaya powders obtained from drying at different temperatures (100, 110 and 120 °C) and times (120 and 140 min) have been analysed for yield, colour, moisture content, water activity, functional characteristics, and antioxidant capacity. Papaya powder produced from drying at 100 °C for 120 min yielded the most due to its high moisture content. Increasing the drying time to 140 min resulted in the highest lightness (L* value) compared to other samples. Drying at 120 °C for 140 min increases solubility, increase hygroscopic and bulk density, and retains maximum retention of ascorbic acid, total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), and antioxidant activities (ABTS assay) compared to other drying times and temperatures. Drying at 110 °C for 140 min retained a higher beta-carotene content than other samples. Results show a significant positive correlation between TFC and DPPH (<i>r</i> = 0.852), and ABTS (<i>r</i> = 0.719) at p < 0.01, contributing to papaya powder’s high antioxidant compounds and activity.
