The aim of this work was to characterize morphological, crystalline property, physicochemical, functional, thermal, pasting, rheological properties, and in vitro digestibility starch flour from Plectranthus rotundifolius (Hausa potato). Chemical composition analysis showed a significant difference (p ≤ 0.05) between the Hausa potato flour, amylose content (30.44 %) substantially greater than that (20.57 %). SEM study granule size varies 3.31 μm 6.61 having morphology some truncated circular...
Recently, plant proteins have received notable attention as food and medicine. Further, are used to produce isolate peptides treat prevent diseases in humans animals. Plant can be extracted from various sources, including industrial waste materials. Conventional nonconventional methods carry out the protein extraction. This review aims overview advanced extraction therapeutic functionalities of peptides. It observed that methods, i.e., ultrasound-assisted microwave-assisted, more efficient,...
In the present study, non-conventional talipot starch was subjected to single and dual modifications using two non-thermal techniques; ultrasonication γ-irradiation (1 kGy 10 kGy). Free radical-mediated low dose made remarkable changes in morphological, physicochemical, functional properties of ultrasonicated starches compared modifications. Dual (ultrasonication+γ-irradiation) modification created deep grooves, reduced relative crystallinity peak intensity OH CH2 groups by cavitation...
Talipot starch, a non-conventional starch source with high yield (76%) from the stem pith of talipot palm (Corypha umbraculifera L.) was subjected to three different thermal treatments (dry-heat, heat-moisture and autoclave treatments) prior phosphorylation. Upon dual modification phosphorylation, phosphorous content degree crosslinking significantly increased (p ≤ 0.05) confirmed by peak intensity P=O P–O–C stretching vibrations compared phosphorylated in FT-IR spectrum. The highest...
Abstract The impact of low‐pressure argon plasma on structural, pasting, rheological, and thermal characteristics starch from talipot palm ( Corypha umbraculifera L.) is analyzed. Talipot a non‐conventional source starch. subjected to different power with time duration. Exposure (7.5 15 W) (30 min 1 h) significantly affects the physicochemical functional properties. SEM micrographs show that treatment causes severe damage granule surface. pasting profile considerably decreased by treatment....
Abstract Important properties of bioplastic film made from γ − irradiated kithul starch such as crystalline, morphological, mechanical, and barrier are studied. The films native using the casting method. Relative crystallinity is higher for starch. 100 kGy shows highest relative (2.26%) among films. prepared exhibits lower water vapor permeability (WVP). solubility decrease with an increase in irradiation dose. Irradiation cause surface compactness, which oxygen WVP indicates improved...
