Summary: The modification of pearl millet starches using octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) at pH 8.0 resulted in changes in pasting properties, rheological properties, and in vitro digestibility of the starches. The modified starches showed increased pasting viscosities and decreased storage and loss moduli. The digestibility of the starches also changed, with a decrease in readily digestible starch content and an increase in resistant starch content.

Summary: The novel amphiphilic agar modified with octenyl succinic anhydride (OSAR) showed higher transparency and freeze-thaw stability, as well as improved emulsion stability and oil loading capacity compared to native agar (NA). With DS values of 0.06 and 0.12, OSAR exhibited increased gel transparency and decreased syneresis, lower interface tension and average molecular weight, decreased thermal stability, enhanced gel springiness, more liquid-like properties with low gel strength, and lower turbidity and melting temperatures than NA.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of moisture level on the physicochemical properties of OSA starch during heat moisture treatment (HMT) pretreatment. Results showed that a higher moisture content led to a decrease in crystallinity and gelatinization enthalpy, as well as surface damage and cracking of the starch granules. However, when HMT was performed with the right moisture content, OSA starch with the maximum DS value and reaction efficiency was obtained. The OSA esterification after HMT-25% MC resulted in the highest DS value (0.0086) and reaction efficiency (35.86%). The H25-OSA starch exhibited good water resistance and high cold water solubility. FTIR analysis confirmed the substitution of hydroxyl groups in HMT starch with carbonyl and carboxyl ester groups of OSA.

Summary: The synthesis efficiency and side reactions of Octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) starch can be improved by using lipase immobilized on polydopamine magnetic hydrogel microspheres (PMHM) as a biocatalyst. The prepared L-PMHM can be uniformly dispersed in starch slurry, leading to full contact between lipase and starch. L-PMHM exhibits better affinity to the substrate and achieves a higher degree of substitution compared to free lipase. Moreover, L-PHMM can maintain its activity after multiple reuses and can be easily separated from the product.

Summary: In this study, Tartary buckwheat starch was modified with octenyl succinate anhydride (OS-TBS) to explore its potential for stabilizing Pickering nanoemulsions. The results showed that higher levels of octenyl succinate led to decreased amylose content and gelatinization temperature, while increasing solubility of OS-TBS. Compared to the original starch, OS-TBS exhibited higher surface hydrophobicity, uniform particle size, and improved emulsification stability. These findings suggest that OS-TBS could serve as an excellent stabilizer for nanoscale Pickering emulsions and expand the use of Tartary buckwheat starch in various industrial processes.

Summary: Preparation and characterization of colloidal complexes based on OSA-S and CS showed that the turbidities, yields, microstructure, wettability, and interfacial adsorption dynamics of the complexes were significantly influenced by the OSA-S/CS ratio and pH. The complexes exhibited liquid-like or gel structure, with intertwined core-shell microstructure and electrostatic interactions between COO- and NH3+ groups. The complexes prepared at r = 6:1 and pH 6.0 showed the most suitable wettability and interfacial adsorption dynamics.

Summary: In this study, levan from Bacillus licheniformis NS032 was modified with octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) in an aqueous medium, and the properties of the resulting derivatives were investigated. The optimum conditions for the synthesis reaction were found to be 40 degrees C and a polysaccharide slurry concentration of 30%. The derivatives with degrees of substitution of 0.025 and 0.036 exhibited retained porous structure and better colloidal stability compared to the native polysaccharide. These OSA-modified levans have the potential to be used in new formulations of emulsion-based systems.

High-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking and advanced-glycation end-products result in uniform deformation under daily activity, while low-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking does not. High-connectivity model displays more sliding, while AGEs induce instability in structures near the binding sites.
