Cassava is highly tolerant to harsh climatic conditions and has great productivity on
marginal lands. The supply of cassava starch, the major component of the root, is thus …

Because, in general, native starches do not have properties that make them ideally suited for
applications in food products, most starch is modified by dervatization to improve its …

Health problems associated with excess calories, such as diabetes and obesity, have
become serious public issues worldwide. Innovative methods are needed to reduce food …

High power ultrasound (HPU) represents a non-thermal processing method that has been
rapidly researched and used in the last 10years. The application of power ultrasound offers …

This opinion paper discusses the use of emerging technologies for modifying starches, in
order to achieve new properties and applications, thus enhancing their performance. We …

This study has investigated the potential of extracting starch from cassava agro-industrial
wastes, namely, cassava peel and bagasse, as a non-edible source and has developed an …

Cornstarch granules were physically modified by high-pressure homogenizer at a pressure
of 14 MPa (two and five passes) and 20 MPa (two passes). Then, the modified starches were …

Mussel myofibrillar proteins (MMP) suspensions (10.6%±0.5%, w/v) were treated by high-
pressure homogenization (HPH) at 0 (control), 20, 40, 60, 80 or 100 MPa for 3 cycles …

Starch-lipid complexes were prepared using lotus seed starch (LS) and glycerin
monostearate (GMS) via a high pressure homogenization (HPH) process, and the effect of …

Lotus seed starch (LS) suspensions (3%, w/v) with added green tea polyphenols (GTPs;
10%, w/w) were subjected to five passes of high-pressure homogenization (HPH). The …
