Effect of superfine grinding on the physicochemical properties of bulbs of Fritillaria unibracteata Hsiao et K.C. Hsia powder

Abstract

This work aimed to determine the influence of superfine grinding on the physicochemical properties of bulbs of Fritillaria unibracteata Hsiao et K.C. Hsia (BFU) powder. For this purpose, fine powder (FP) and two superfine powders (SPs) were obtained via superfine and conventional grinding methods. The properties of different powders were studied and compared. Compared with FP, SPs exhibited higher values in terms of the angle of repose, swelling capacity, ethanol extraction yield, total alkaloid content, and imperialine content, while lower values in terms of particle size and bulk density. Especially, the total alkaloid content of SP‐I increased by 66.7%. Proper grinding is more conducive to reduce particle size and improve alkaloid content. FTIR analysis indicates that no new functional groups produced after superfine grinding. XRD analysis suggests that grinding treatment lead to decreases in the crystallinity. Therefore, superfine grinding displays immense potential in the BFU application.

Effects of ultra-fine micronization on the structure, rheological and functional properties of dietary fiber from Laminaria japonica

“…These results were in accordance with previous studies in which bulbs of Fritillaria unibracteata Hsiao et K.C. Hsia powder after ultra-fine grinding displayed smaller particle size, bulk density and span value compared to those of fine powder (Li et al, 2019). Effects of ultra-fine micronization on the structure Geng et al…”

Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles and Detection of Glucose via Chemical Reduction with Nanocellulose as Carrier and Stabilizer

“…The relative crystallinity of CNF is about 48.39%, and the relative crystallinity of CNC is about 70.48%. Due to the high shear force generated during the mechanical treatment of the supermasscollider and the high-pressure microjet homogenization treatment, the hydrogen bonding force between the fibrils may be weakened, and the intermolecular hydrogen bonds of cellulose were broken, resulting in the collapse of the cellulose crystal structure, so the crystallinity of CNF was relatively low [ 25 , 26 ]; in the process of preparing CNC by acid hydrolysis, hydrated hydrogen ions penetrated the more accessible amorphous zone of cellulose during hydrolysis and allow hydrolytic cleavage of glycosidic bonds [ 27 ]. The crystalline area is relatively stable, and the part destroyed by the acid solution is relatively small, so the proportion of the crystalline area increases, and the crystallinity increases.…”

Effects of superfine pulverization technology on the morphology, microstructure, and physicochemical properties of Apium graveolens L. root

“…The micronization of medicinal materials substantially increases the surface area (Wu et al, 2012), thereby enhancing the dissolution and extraction efficiency of the target components in medicinal materials (Li et al, 2020). Changes in the morphology and surface characteristics of powders after superfine pulverization can be observed via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) (Li et al, 2019). Particle size affects the physical properties of powders (Huang et al, 2020), including moisture, oil‐binding capacity (OBC), ash, water solubility index (WSI), swelling capacity (SC), water‐holding capacity (WHC), density, and fluidity.…”
