Investigating the crystalline structure and structural heterogeneity of starch granules using polarization-based quantitative phase microscopy.

Food chemistry | 2026-Mar-27

This study utilizes advanced polarization-based quantitative phase microscopy to analyze the crystalline structure and heterogeneity of potato and maize starch granules. The findings reveal how crystalline and amorphous regions interact during enzymatic digestion, providing insights into the structural complexity and structure-function relationships of potato starch.

Metabolic and productive effects in Solanum tuberosum subjected to water stress under the application of a bioencapsulated soil yeast and iron nanoparticles.

Journal of the science of food and agriculture | 2026-Apr-03

This study investigates the impact of bioencapsulated yeast (Candida guilliermondii) and iron nanoparticles on Solanum tuberosum under water stress. The findings demonstrate that these treatments significantly enhance tuber yield and the accumulation of beneficial phenolic compounds and antioxidants, offering a potential strategy for improving potato resilience and nutritional value.
