Specificity of crystalline saccharogenic amylase of moulds.
Starches rich in amylose are promising functional ingredients for calory-reduced foods. In this research, a high-amylose Japonica rice starch (amylose content 33.3%) was esterified with octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) to improve the functional properties. The OSA-modified derivatives were evaluated for

This work aims to evaluate starch digestion in whole sorghum grains. Nine sorghum cultivars were sampled from the Sahara of Algeria. The structural characteristics of sorghum grains were measured. Total starch (TS) varied between 67.67% and 74.82%, digestible starch (DS)
Starch digestibility in a food matrix depends on processing conditions that may affect its physical state and microstructure. Starch gelatinization is one critical change that takes place during frying which could be affected during low-pressure processing. This study assessed the
The synthesis, conformational study and inhibitory properties of diverse indolizidine and quinolizidine iminocyclitols are described. The compounds were chemo-enzymatically synthesized by two-step aldol addition and reductive amination reactions. The aldol addition of dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) to N-Cbz-piperidine carbaldehyde derivatives catalyzed
Since glucose biosensors are one of the most popular and widely used point-of-care testing devices, a novel electrochemical enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for protein biomarkers has been developed based on a glucose detection strategy. In this study, α-fetoprotein (AFP) was
