Ozonation as a green modification for potato and cassava starches in 3D-printed bone scaffolds.

International journal of biological macromolecules | 2026-Apr-16

This study investigates the use of ozone-modified potato starch as a sustainable biomaterial for 3D-printed bone scaffolds. The research demonstrates that ozonation improves the starch's rheological properties, mechanical strength, and biocompatibility, highlighting its potential in tissue engineering and functional starch applications.

Diapause in the Colorado potato beetle is characterized by sex-specific gene expression.

Journal of insect physiology | 2026-Apr-16

This study investigates the sex-specific transcriptomic profiles of the Colorado potato beetle, a major potato pest, during its diapause phase. The research identifies key gene expression patterns related to metabolic suppression and stress tolerance, offering insights into the regulatory mechanisms that allow this pest to survive winter.

Mechanistic elucidation of epigallocatechin gallate binding to various starches: impacts on structural alterations, stability, and digestive properties.

Food chemistry | 2026-Apr-13

This study investigates the interaction between epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and various starches, including potato starch, to evaluate impacts on structural stability and digestibility. The findings reveal that EGCG binds to potato starch to form complexes that enhance antioxidant capacity and reduce starch hydrolysis, providing insights for potato-derived food science and nutritional applications.

Exogenous brassinolide improves processing quality of cold-stored potato tubers by mitigating sweetening through integrated physiological and transcriptional regulation.

Food chemistry | 2026-Apr-15

This study demonstrates that exogenous brassinolide (BR) mitigates cold-induced sweetening in potato tubers by regulating starch and sucrose metabolism pathways at the physiological and transcriptional levels. The treatment reduces the accumulation of reducing sugars and asparagine, thereby improving the color of fried chips and decreasing acrylamide formation during processing.

Recognition of samples of similar composition using kinetic-based optical fingerprinting strategy: Choice of indicator reactions.

Talanta | 2026-Apr-15

This study evaluates a kinetic-based optical fingerprinting method to distinguish samples of similar composition, including irradiated potato tubers. The research demonstrates that specific indicator reactions combined with chemometric analysis can accurately identify irradiated food products, offering a cost-effective tool for potato quality control.
