The food packaging sector generates large volumes of plastic waste due to the high demand
for packaged products with a short shelf-life. Biopolymers such as starch-based materials …

Starch, as a widely available renewable resource, has the potential to be used in the
production of controlled-release fertilizers (CRFs) that support sustainable agriculture …

Granule size is a critical parameter affecting starch processing properties. Ultrasound
treatments of up to 22 h were applied on two starches differing in granule size (quinoa starch …

The goal of the proposed study is to investigate the effects of three different power levels (30,

Starch from a given botanical source can vary considerably in terms of physicochemical
properties in its native and hydrolyzed forms. The current study investigated the structural …

Starch exists naturally as insoluble semi-crystalline granules assembled by amylose and
amylopectin. Acknowledging the pioneers, we have reviewed the major accomplishments in …

Health problems associated with excess calories, such as diabetes and obesity, have
