Summary: This study comprehensively characterized the chemical components of Chia seed oil, including fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs), triacylglycerols (TAGs), phospholipids (PLs), free fatty acids (FFAs), sterols, carotenoids, tocopherols, and polyphenols. Different analytical methods such as reversed phase liquid chromatography (RP-LC), gas chromatography (GC), and mass spectrometry (MS) were employed for the analysis of these components. The results showed that Chia seed oil contained high levels of antioxidant tocopherols and essential fatty acids, especially alpha-linolenic acid and linoleic acid. Additionally, this study provided new insights into the composition of FFAs and certain classes of carotenoids in Chia seed oil.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the interactions between sorghum starch and mushroom polysaccharides (MPs) obtained from different cultivars, and their effects on gelatinization, retrogradation, digestibility, and microstructures of starch. The results showed that MPs could reduce the degree of gelatinization, retrogradation energy, and digestibility of sorghum starch, and increase the particle size of digesta in a concentration dependent manner. Confocal laser scanning microscopic images revealed that LEP could coat sorghum starch granules through electrostatic interaction, promoting starch retrogradation. AAP and TFP were able to suppress starch crystallization in sorghum starch gels through hydrophobic interaction with starch. The interaction between sorghum starch and MPs depended on the nature of MPs and their concentration, providing fundamentals for the utilization of MPs as glycaemic controller of starch and starch-rich foods.

Summary: The study utilized various physical modification techniques to improve the physicochemical and functional properties of walnut protein. Cold plasma and ultrasound treatments had minimal effects on particle size and morphology. Superfine grinding significantly reduced particle size, while wet ball milling and high-pressure microjet treatments improved dispersion stability and solubility. The foaming and emulsification properties were also enhanced through these modifications. High-pressure microjet treatment proved most effective at improving solubility in the functional properties of walnut protein.

Summary: This study investigated the synergetic gelation of curdlan gum (CG) and gellan gum (GG) at different ratios. The optimal gelation was achieved at a mass ratio of 1:1 and a total concentration of 0.6%. The gel properties were influenced by the CG/GG ratio, with the strongest gel observed at a ratio of 5:5. The improved gel properties were attributed to hydrogen bonds between CG and GG. The CG/GG binary composite gel exhibited increased water holding capacity as the CG/GG ratio decreased. Furthermore, the microstructure of the CG/GG gel was denser and more homogeneous, supporting its stronger gel rigidity and water holding capacity.
