The catalytic oxidation of potato starch by [MnIV2 (μ-O)3(tmtacn)2][H2O](CH3COO)2 (Mncat, with tmtacn =1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane) with H2O2, was recently introduced as a promising alternative to ubiquitous sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). Here, we report an in-depth investigation into interactions …

This study provides insights into novel combinations of hydrothermal modifications and mineral enrichment by demonstrating the versatility of this environmentally more benign approach compared to other common chemical starch modifications like crosslinking. Heat-moisture treatment (HMT) (15% moisture, …

“Circular Sandwich Panels” is a joint research project in collaboration between MNEXT, Beyond Wood, and Fairm. The project focuses on studying mycelium circular sandwich panels, which consist of the facades from Beyond Wood and mycelium foams from Fairm, as well as their application in building insulation. …

Native potato starch is an excellent carrier of minerals due to its inherent ion exchange capacity. Mineral enrichment not only changes the nutritional value but also influences starch pasting and swelling properties. Hydrothermal treatments like annealing constitute a straightforward and green way to …

Modified starches are used widely in the food industry but often have a low nutritional value, lacking minerals vital for the human body, such as magnesium. Magnesium addition to native starches has been shown to result in changes in pasting properties. However, little work has been done on the addition …

Anthropogenic changes to estuaries, usually highly productive systems, may result in increased turbidity levels, suppress pelagic primary production and negatively affect ecosystem functions. The Ems-Dollard estuary, enclosed between the Netherlands and Germany, is such an estuary with a long history …

Corn is one of the world’s three major food crops, and it is also the most extensive grain variety in China, accounting for 42% of the grain planting area. According to the data in 2019, corn production in China reached 255 million tons (USDA GAIN 2020). The total production just after the rice and wheat …

Local farmers in Central Kalimantan have continued to destroy peatlands in the area to make space for planting more profitable crops like oil palm. These peatlands store huge amounts of carbon and degrading them increases the release of greenhouse gases emissions. For this reason, planting of naturally …

In recent years the dairy industry had to face new environmental regulations and consumption evolutions. The soybean meal utilization as a protein source is not adapted to the GMO-free milk production. That’s why there was a growing interest for GMO-free rapeseed meal to replace soybean meal but since …

Protein content is a key quality trait for thepotato starch industry. The objective of this study wasto identify allele-specific quantitative trait loci (QTLs)for tuber protein content in cultivated potato (Solanumtuberosum L.) at the tetraploid level.
