This study investigated the sensory qualities and digestibility of traditional Chinese dried sweet potatoes (Gan Shu Gan) and identified the impact factors. Dried sweet potatoes prepared with orange-fleshed cultivars, particularly cultivars Pushu32 and Yanshu25, were preferred for their reddish hue compared to those prepared with the yellow-fleshed reference cultivar Zheshu33. The dried sweet potato made of those cultivars also provided better sensory experience mainly due to their higher chewiness. The estimated glycemic indexes (eGI) of dried sweet potato samples ranged from 78.50 - 99.49, with the sample prepared with Pushu32 exhibiting the lowest value. Correlation analysis and principal component analysis based on starch characteristics indicated that higher amylose content resulted in better sensory experience and more amylopectin longer chains (DP >= 25) contributed to lower digestibility. Both of amylose and amylopectin longer chains in sweet potato starch favored the stability of the paste. Additionally, larger starch granules in sweet potato were also conducive to lowering the eGI in dried products. These findings provided helpful insights for selecting raw materials in dried sweet potato processing.
Highland barley noodles are valued as a nutritious and popular staple food. Nevertheless, their processing is often challenged by poor dough formation and inferior end-product quality, primarily due to an inherent lack of gluten proteins. This study investigated the effects of extruded starch and β-glucan on the whole highland barley noodles (WHBN), focusing on their synergistic mechanisms in modulating noodle quality and digestibility. Results showed that extruded starch, characterised by lower molecular weight (7.98-13.05 × 106 g/mol), a higher amylose-to-amylopectin ratio (0.51-1.08), and increased swelling power (15.14-24.61 g/g), promoted starch aggregation into macropolymers and a dense gel network. β-glucan did not enhance the short-range order of gelatinised starch but facilitated an extended, stable starch-β-glucan network. Microscopy analyses confirmed that extruded starch and β-glucan co-encapsulated starch granules, forming a continuous and compact structure. Overall, E125-HBF-5 % β-Glu and E150-HBF-5 % β-Glu exhibited the slowest digestion rate (k = 0.7 ± 0.03 × 10-2 min-1) and the highest resistant starch content (59.08 ± 0.52 %). These findings provide practical strategies for developing low glycaemic index WHBN while advancing theoretical insights into starch cross-linking in gluten-free, whole-grain food systems. The principles outlined in this study are not limited to WHBN but can be extended to a wide range of food formulations aimed at reducing postprandial glycaemic response. Therefore, this strategy not only improves the technological properties of whole-grain noodles but also offers a viable approach for designing low-glycaemic-index functional foods to support metabolic health.
Single copy thaumatin-like protein (TLP) genes and multiple copy internal transcribed spacer (ITS) genes from the nucleus of corn were selected as targets, designed and screened primers. The impact of target sequence selection on ladder -shape melting temperature isothermal amplification (LMTIA) detection of corn components in edible oil from aspects such as specificity, sensitivity, and stability were studied. The results showed that the LMTIA system targeting TLP has an optimal reaction temperature of 58 degrees C and can detect a minimum of 100 pg/ mu L of corn DNA, and the LMTIA system established with ITS as the target has higher sensitivity, with an optimal temperature of 59 degrees C, and can detect corn DNA as low as 1 pg/mu L. Both systems have good specificity, stable reactions, and no false positive results were observed. Conclusion: ITS is more suitable as a target sequence for LMTIA detection of corn components in edible oil.

Using pomegranate juice and whole milk powder as main raw materials, pomegranate flavoured milk beverage was prepared with addition of xylooligosaccharides and by inoculation of Bifidobacterium. Using the ordinary milk beverage without pomegranate juice and xylooligosaccharide as control, the quality changes of the milk beverage stored at 4 ℃, 25 ℃ and 35 ℃ were investigated. With the acidity as evaluation index, the shelf-life of the beverage at 4 ℃ was predicted by accelerated shelf-life testing(ASLT). The results showed that the acidity of the beverage gradually increased, the viscosity and water holding capacity gradually decreased, and the number of viable Bifidobacterium first increased and then decreased with the prolongation of storage time, the higher the temperature, the greater the range of the change. The acidity, viscosity, water holding capacity and number of viable Bifidobacterium of the beverage at 4 ℃ were better than those of the control. The ASLT results predicted that the shelf-life of the beverage could reach 24-40 d, which was superior to that of most commercial yoghurt(21 d).

Wheat is the most widely produced and consumed food in the world, and it is also one of the eight allergenic foods recognized in the world. Gliadin(Glia) is one of the main allergens that induce wheat allergy. This study aimed to explore the effects of high intensity water bath ultrasound(HIWU) on the structure and antigenicity of Glia. Glia was treated with different ultrasonic power. The results of Western blotting showed that there was a strong immune response before and after ultrasound treatment. Non-competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) showed that HIWU significantly reduced the antigenicity of Glia, and the highest immunosuppression rate was 33.03%±1.72% after 480 W HIWU. Furthermore, SDS-PAGE showed that HIWU did not produce small molecular subunits of Glia but cause aggregation of some protein subunits. HIWU reduced the content of α-helix and β-sheet of Glia to make it disordered. HIWU caused quenching of the fluorescence of Glia, and the content of free sulfhydryl groups in protein increased. Meanwhile, Raman spectroscopy analysis showed that the main conformation of the disulfide bond changed from g-g-g to g-g-t, tyrosine and tryptophan changed from the original embedded state to the exposed state. HIWU altered the secondary and tertiary structures of Glia, resulting in the deletion or destruction of Glia epitopes, thereby effectively inhibiting the antigenicity of Glia. This study will broaden the application of ultrasonic technology in cereal products and provide a theoretical reference for the production of hypoallergenic wheat food.
In order to investigate the effect of endogenous components on the digestive characteristics of multigrain mixed noodles with low glycemic index (GI), the noodles were first prepared from buckwheat, yam, high-amylose corn starch and wheat flour, and the GI value was 53.02. On this basis, the endogenous components such as phenols, lipids, proteins and dietary fibres were removed from the raw flour of noodles and then prepared separately into noodles for in vitro simulated digestion. The effects of the endogenous components on the starch hydrolysis rate, protein digestibility and colonic fermentation of the noodles were investigated, as well as their mechanisms of action. The results showed that the starch hydrolysis rate of noodles prepared after the separation of endogenous components increased significantly, and the estimated glycemic index (eGI) was as follows: Defatted noodles (68.76)>deproteinised noodles (67.94)>dietary-fiber-free noodles (63.62)>dephenolised noodles (60.16)>low GI noodles (53.02). The protein digestibility of noodles was as follows: Dietary-fiber-free noodles (65.04%)>low GI noodles (33.71%)>dephenolised noodles (17.55%)>defatted noodles (6.61%). Compared with wheat noodles, the resistant starch in multigrain mixed with low GI noodles significantly increased the content of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in colonic fermentation stage, which contributed to the host's regulation of glucolipid metabolism, energy metabolism and energy supply.
In this study, free radical oxidation was chosen to induce covalent reaction of gliadin (GL) with epigallocatechin gallate. The effects of different ultrasound (US) powers on the enhancement of the covalent reaction were compared with the aim of improving the bioavailability of polyphenols in protein modification. Covalent modification of polyphenols was verified by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the Folin-Ciocalteu assay. The structural changes of the covalent complexes were analyzed by ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. The results showed that US disrupted weak intra-protein forces, which caused molecular depolymerization. The hydrophilic/hydrophobic amino acid residues of the protein were shifted and the tertiary structure tended to be looser, and this process altered the distribution of groups on the molecule surface and increased the water solubility of the protein. Furthermore, the shift in the spatial structure of GL resulted in the exposure of more enzyme cleavage sites, making its digestion easier. The synergistic effect of US and free radical oxidation increased the loading of antioxidant molecules onto the covalent complexes, resulting in stronger free radical scavenging activity.

Food adulteration is a serious problem all over the world. Establishing an accurate, sensitive and fast detection method is an important part of identifying food adulteration. Herein, a sequence-specific ladder-shape melting temperature isothermal amplification (LMTIA) assay was reported to detect soybean-derived components using proofreading enzyme-mediated probe cleavage (named Proofman), which could realize real-time and visual detection without uncapping. The results showed that, under the optimal temperature of 57 °C, the established Proofman–LMTIA method for the detection of soybean-derived components in dairy products was sensitive to 1 pg/μL, with strong specificity, and could distinguish soybean genes from those of beef, mutton, sunflower, corn, walnut, etc. The established Proofman–LMTIA detection method was applied to the detection of actual samples of cow milk and goat milk. The results showed that the method was accurate, stable and reliable, and the detection results were not affected by a complex matrix without false positives or false negatives. It was proved that the method could be used for the detection and identification of soybean-derived components in actual dairy products samples.

To explore the effect of saturated fatty acid carbon chain length on the structure and in vitro digestive properties of waxy wheat A and B starch-lipid complexes. Using waxy wheat A and B starch as the main raw materials, after being modified by compound enzymes, they were compounded with lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid and stearic acid respectively, and the compound index (CI value), the solubility and swelling power, iodine absorption characteristics, crystal structure, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and predicted glycemic index (pGI value) were investigated. The results showed that with the increase of carbon chain (12~18), the CI values of starch-lipid complexes of waxy wheat A and B decreased from 53.66% to 38.15%, and from 60.35% to 41.04%. The solubility and swelling power of starch-lipid complexes of waxy wheat A and B increased gradually with the increase of temperature and the number of carbon atoms. The solubility and swelling power of waxy wheat A starch-lauric acid at 90 ℃ were 1.99% and 3.34 g/g, the solubility and swelling power of waxy wheat B starch-lauric acid at 90 ℃ were 1.74% and 3.18 g/g respectively. Among the four lipid complexes, the complexes formed by waxy wheat starch A, B and lauric acid had relatively high crystallinity, reaching 25.37% and 23.50%, and their ratios at 1047/1022 cm−1 were also high, which were 0.993 and 0.989. Compared with the uncomplexed lipid-modified waxy wheat starch, the pGI values decreased significantly, from 47.63 to 36.61, and from 48.30 to 35.49 respectively. This study can provide a reference for the structure and in vitro digestion characteristics of starch-lipid complexes.
Background and Objectives The sticky surface of cooked noodles seriously reduces consumer acceptance. This study investigates the effects of 12 wheat flour samples with different farinograph and pasting characteristics on the texture, sensory properties, and surface tackiness of recooked frozen cooked noodles (FCNs). Findings The recooked FCNs made of flour sample 1# with long dough stability time (DST) and high farinograph quality number (FQN) had a low surface tackiness (411 g) and high evaluation score (87). Meanwhile, wheat flour (sample 12#) with high peak viscosity (PV) had a proper degree of starch gelatinization, which would bring a low surface tackiness to FCNs. FCNs (sample 1#) had a high water-holding capacity (T-21 = 0.14 ms) and low unbound water content (A(23) = 1.38%), and they had a dense internal gluten network structure. Conclusions The dense structure formed by protein and starch contributed to reducing the surface tackiness of FCNs after recooking and storing. Noodles factories should choose wheat flour which has long DST, high FQN, and high PV as raw material when producing FCNs. Significance and Novelty This study provides important information on choosing wheat flours suitable for making FCNs of high quality.
