Summary: This study prepared edible films using cassava starch and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose as basic raw materials and apple polyphenol as biologically active components. The addition of apple polyphenol increased the flexibility and barrier ability of the film. The microstructure analysis showed hydrogen bonds formed between apple polyphenol, cassava starch, and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, improving the crystallinity and compactness of the film. Additionally, the film demonstrated antioxidant potential in chicken preservation.

Summary: This study demonstrated that ethyl vanillin can be quickly crystallized from carboxymethyl chitosan/ethyl vanillin co-mixture gels via classical swift cooling method and supersaturation. EVA appeared with bulk filament crystals accelerated by a large quantity of nanoconfinement microregions resulted from space-formatted hydrogen network between EVA and CMCS when their concentration exceeds 1:1.4 and may occasionally arise when the concentration is less than 1:0.8。Further investigations found that EVA crystals can be recovered from as-prepared ion-switchable CMCS gels by 0.1 M hydrochloric acid or acetic acid without defects. Consequently, the proposed method may offer an available scheme for a large-scale preparation of API analogs.

Summary: In this study, pH-responsive and magnetic carboxymethyl starch/alginate hydrogel beads were developed as potential drug carriers for controlled release of anticancer drug. The beads demonstrated excellent stability in simulated stomach fluids and sustained release in simulated intestinal fluids. Applying an external magnetic field enhanced drug release. The beads showed significant cytotoxicity to colon cancer cell lines while having no harmful effects on normal cells.

Summary: Cassava starch/sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CC) was used as a substrate to create a multipurpose food packaging film by adding caffeic acid@silica nanoparticles (C@SNPs). The C@SNPs had an encapsulation rate of 84.7 +/- 0.97% for caffeic acid. SEM pictures showed that the nanoparticles were well dispersed throughout the film and had good compatibility with other polymers. The C@SCC5:1 film exhibited the best mechanical and oxygen barrier qualities, with a tensile strength increase from 7.17 MPa to 15.44 MPa.

Summary: Nisin-loaded carboxymethyl chitosan nanogels (CN NGs) were prepared through a combination method of electrostatic self-assembly and chemical cross-linking, demonstrating good dispersion and spherical structure. The main driving force in the formation of CN NGs was found to be the electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonding between nisin and CMCS. Additionally, the CN NGs exhibited controlled release behavior of nisin and excellent antimicrobial activity, indicating their potential as a bio-preservative in the food industry.

Summary: Depressant carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) was introduced to reverse flotation of quartz from hematite using collector DDA. The reagent scheme of DDA/CMCS could achieve efficient separation of quartz from hematite, with CMCS showing better selective depression ability than starch. Zeta potential measurements illustrated that CMCS could prevent DDA adsorption onto the hematite surface, while it did not affect the interaction between DDA and quartz surface.

Summary: A new micellization method was used to produce controllable size nano OSA-modified starch micelles, and the underlying mechanism was investigated. The size of the micelles could be controlled by adjusting the protonation degree and OSA starch concentration. The micelles exhibited good loading and encapsulation capability.

Summary: The development of starch-based films has shown the potential for creating transparent, non-toxic, biodegradable materials with good gas barrier properties. However, the use of starch in packaging should be avoided due to world hunger-related problems. Utilizing residual starches can reduce production costs and promote the development of innovative biomaterials. The addition of gelatinized starch from agro-industrial residues in bioplastic production has shown a decrease in tensile strength and elastic modulus values, but no significant impact on elongation percentage values.

Summary: Cassava starch is in high demand for its availability, low-cost, and unique functional features. Chemical modification techniques are commonly used to improve its functionalities, and different techniques have different impacts on the composition, morphology, and physical properties of modified cassava starch. Through chemical modification, cassava starch can be converted into resistant starch with various health benefits.

Summary: This study developed a method to improve the microbial resistance and storability of harvested fruits by loading magnolol onto water-soluble carrier CMCS. The resulting Magnolol@CMCS particles effectively solved the insolubility and agglomeration issues of magnolol and showed greater toxicity against bacteria. The use of this solution also delayed changes in fruit quality during storage and improved the storability of kiwifruit.

Summary: A new starch-based model dough using damaged cassava starch (DCS) obtained by mechanical activation (MA) was found to be feasible. The study examined the retro-gradation behavior of starch dough and its application in functional gluten-free noodles. Starch retrogradation led to water migration, starch recrystallization, and microstructure changes. Short-term retrogradation altered the texture properties of the dough, while long-term retro-gradation promoted resistant starch (RS) formation. The level of damage in the starch influenced retrogradation, with higher damage levels facilitating retrogradation. The gluten-free noodles made from retrograded starch had acceptable sensory quality, with darker color and better viscoelasticity.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the loading of sildenafil citrate in three commercial transdermal vehicles using 3D full-thickness skin equivalent and compare the results with permeability experiments using porcine skin. The results showed that the results obtained using the 3D skin equivalent were comparable to those obtained using porcine skin, suggesting that the 3D skin model can be a valid alternative for ex-vivo skin absorption experiments.
