Effects of pulsed electric fields (PEF) treatment on physicochemical properties of potato starch

Effect of pulsed electric fields assisted acetylation on morphological, structural and functional characteristics of potato starch

“…The applications of electroporation can be used as carriers of drugs, antibodies and 326 plasmids into cells (Chen, Smye, Robinson, & Evans, 2006; Neumann, Kakorin, & Toensing, 327 1999). After being treated by PEF, there are lots of grooves and bulges detected on starch 328granules(Han, et al, 2009a, b). Therefore, the theory that PEF treatment can provide 329 convenient channels for intruding acetyl groups in starch granules is credible in this study.…”

Enhancing mechanical properties of chitosan films via modification with vanillin

“…In recent years, more attention has been focused on the green and natural cross-linking agents, such as protein, starch and plant extracts (polyphenols and aldehyde compounds) [9,[14][15][16][17][18][19]. Vanillin, which exists in sugar beet and vanilla pods, is one of the most popular flavoring substances and it is widely used in food, beverages, perfumery and pharmaceutical industries [20][21][22].…”

Optimized extraction of calcium malate from eggshell treated by PEF and an absorption assessment in vitro

“…For instance, Zulueta treated the orange juice by PEF to evaluate the content of vitamin C and its storage time [15]. Zhong and co-workers found that PEF could cause some physicochemical changes of potato starch granules in terms of its intragranular molecular rearrangement, resulting in some new characteristics and functions [19]. Loginova found that PEF could accelerate the dissolution of soluble stuffs even at low temperatures within 20-40 • C. And he thought this proposed technique appears to be promising for future industrial applications of "cold" soluble matter extraction from the chicory [20].…”
