Prediction of rice texture from starch profiles measured using high-performance liquid chromatography [PDF]
, 2001 Starch determines a large proportion of the textural properties of cooked rice. The amylose: amylopectin ratio plays a significant role in the functionality of native starch.

Green Proteins: A Sustainable Alternative to Animal‐Based Proteins for Global Protein Security
Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.This study highlights the drawbacks associated with animal‐based proteins, such as their contribution to greenhouse gas emissions, large‐scale land use, and worsening food insecurity. It suggests that green sources of proteins, including legumes, grains, seeds, leaves, and algae, are possible sustainable alternatives. Shifting towards these plant‐based

Seed germination improves air classification efficiency of pea and faba bean flours
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 7, Page 4320-4330, May 2026.Abstract BACKGROUND Increasing interest in incorporating pulses into human diets has increased demand for their fractionation into diverse food ingredients. Air classification has relatively low capital and operating costs, uses no water, and preserves the native protein structure.

Physicochemical properties and leaching behavior of eight U.S. long-grain rice cultivars as related to rice texture [PDF]
, 2003 There are many long-grain rice cultivars produced commercially in the U.S.; however, little work has been done on correlating the structure and physicochemical properties of starch with their texture.

Fermentation techniques for protein enrichment of cassava peel
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 7, Page 4384-4393, May 2026.Abstract BACKGROUND The use of agro‐industrial by‐products such as unconventional feeds in animal production is an alternative for reducing the high costs associated with conventional feeds. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of aeration, pH adjustment, the use of yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and the amount of urea on the enrichment of ...

Eco‐Friendly Preparation of Porous Starch via Water‐Induced Amylose Solubilization
Polymers for Advanced Technologies, Volume 37, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Starch is a safe and biocompatible excipient in pharmaceutical formulations. Introducing pores into its granules transforms it into a biodegradable carrier suitable for drug delivery. Various strategies have been developed to induce pore formation, including physical methods (e.g., microwave, ultrasound), chemical methods (e.g., solvent ...
