Fabrication and Characterization of Dual-Functional Porous Starch with Both Emulsification and Antioxidant Properties
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF BIOLOGICAL MACROMOLECULES(2024)
Abstract
Starchy materials with good antioxidant, emulsification and adsorption properties have potential applications in industry. To improve these properties, a Dual-functional porous starch was prepared through one-pot synthesis. In this case, octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) and syringic acid (SA) were selected to modify the porous starch (PS) by esterification, with subsequent signals recorded by 1H NMR at 1.2 ppm and FT-IR at 1743 cm-1, indicating the formation of Dual-functional porous starch grafted by OSA and SA. N2 adsorption analysis further proved that the porous structure (2.9 m2g- 1) was still maintained after modification. This was followed by measurements of droplet size distribution (34.18 +/- 3.80 mu m), zeta potential (-39.62 +/- 1.89 mV) and emulsion index (85.10 +/- 1.76 %), all of which indicated good emulsifying capacity. Meanwhile, results of radical scavenging assay proved that the Dual-functional porous starch had considerable antioxidant properties due to the introduction of SA groups. Besides, the Dual-functional porous starch also showed good resistance to digestion. These findings not only provide a novel strategy for constructing multi-functionalized starchy materials, but also open up potential applications of starch in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
