In recent years, starch nanoparticles (SNPs) have been received much attention due to their unique characteristics different from native starch. Also, SNPs have economic and environmental advantages because they are prepared from starch, a cheap and safe natural polymer. It can be used in various industrial applications such as food additives, drug carriers, etc. SNPs have been prepared using different methods and their physiochemical, functional properties and possible industrial applications have been reported. Based on these studies, SNPs are expected to be the promising food materials and expand their utilization in many industries in the future. This review covered the overall researches on SNPs, including preparation, physicochemical and functional properties, and discussed their current and future applications including resistant starch materials.

본 연구를 통해 전분 나노입자의 첨가가 유제품 휘핑크림의 품질특성에 미치는 영향과 휘핑크림의 안정성을 향상시킴을 확인할 수 있었다. 전분 나노입자 첨가는 유화 액적의 계면을 안정화시킴으로써 휘핑크림의 저장 안정성을 향상시킬 수 있었다. 전분 나노입자 첨가에 의한 휘핑크림의 점도 역시 증가하였고 이로 인하여 휘핑크림의 저장 안정성이 증가하였으며, 액적의 입도 크기 역시 증가하였다. 하지만 3% 이상 전분 나노입자를 첨가하였을 때 오버런은 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 본 연구결과에 따르면 1% 전분 나노입자를 휘핑크림에 첨가하였을 때 휘핑크림의 오버런에 주목할 만한 변화 없이 휘핑크림의 저장 안정성을 향상시킬 수 있었다.

In this study, we evaluated the effect of different concentrations of chitosan and chitosan nanoparticles as edible coating in extending shelf life and maintaining the quality of banana fruits (Musa acuminata AAA group). The fruit treated with 1.15% chitosan, 1.25% chitosan and chitosan nanoparticles then store at ambient temperature ($25{\pm}1^{\circ}C$). The shelf-life of banana, starch content, weight loss, pulp to peel ratio, total soluble solid, surface morpholgy of banana peel and sensory evaluation were analysed. Molecular analysis on the effect of chitosan was also conducted. Results showed that the application of chitosan nanoparticles and chitosan could extend shelf-life and maintain quality of banana fruits.

In this paper, an electrochemical sensor for epinephrine (EP), a neurotransmitter was developed by anchoring molecularly imprinted polymeric matrix (MIP) on the surface of gold-coated quartz crystal electrode of electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) using starch nanoparticles (Starch NP) - reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanocomposite as polymeric format for the first time. Use of EP in therapeutic treatment requires proper dose and route of administration. Proper follow-up of neurological disorders and timely diagnosis of them has been found to depend on EP level. The MIP sensor was developed by electrodeposition of starch NP-RGO composite on EQCM electrode in presence of template EP. As the imprinted sites are located on the surface, high specific surface area enables good accessibility and high binding affinity to template molecule. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and piezoelectrogravimmetry were used for monitoring binding/release, rebinding of template to imprinted cavities. MIP-coated EQCM electrode were characterized by contact angle measurements, AFM images, piezoelectric responses including viscoelasticity of imprinted films, and other voltammetric measurements including direct (DPV) and indirect (using a redox probe) measurements. Selectivity was assessed by imprinting factor (IF) as high as 3.26 (DPV) and 3.88 (EQCM). Sensor was rigorously checked for selectivity in presence of other structurally close analogues, real matrix (blood plasma), reproducibility, repeatability, etc. Under optimized conditions, the EQCM-MIP sensor showed linear dynamic ranges ($1-10{\mu}M$). The limit of detection 40 ppb (DPV) and 290 ppb (EQCM) was achieved without any cross reactivity and matrix effect indicating high sensitivity and selectivity for EP. Hence, an eco-friendly MIP-sensor with high sensitivity and good selectivity was fabricated which could be applied in "real" matrices in a facile manner.

질산구리삼수화물염(copper(II) nitrate trihydrate) 수용액을 공업용 전분(starch)에 함침 시킨 전구체를 이용하여 산화구리(CuO) 나노 입자를 합성하였다. 주사전자현미경(SEM)을 통하여 질산구리삼수화물염 수용액이 함침된 전구체에 대한 구조를 분석하였고, 전구체에 대한 열처리 온도를 증가 시킴에 따라 생성되는 산화구리 입자의 입자 크기와 결정 구조를 X선회절분석법(XRD)과 주사전자현미경(SEM)으로 분석하였다. 분석 결과에 따르면, 전구체에서 유기물질이 완전히 열분해 되어지는 온도는 450-490℃이며, 열처리하는 온도가 증가함에 따라 생성되는 산화구리 입자의 크기와 결정성이 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었고, 또한 500-800℃에서 1시간씩 열처리하여 얻은 산화구리 입자의 크기는 100nm-2㎛인 것으로 나타났다. 하소 온도 400℃에서 산화구리 결정상이 형성되고, 800℃까지는 산화구리 단일상만 존재하며, 하소 온도의 증가에 따라 생성되는 입자의 크기가 커지는 것을 확인하였다.

Purpose: To develop nano-sized starch particles for application as dietary fiber sources in liquid food system, the morphology and thermal properties of acid hydrolyzed rice starches with different amylose contents were evaluated. Methods: Rice starches purified from three Korean cultivars, including Goami, Hopyeong, and Hwaseonchal, were hydrolyzed with 2.2 N HCl solution in a $35^{\circ}C$ shaking water bath (100 rpm) for 7, 10 and 15 days. Results: Acid hydrolysis rates of rice starches increased with increasing hydrolysis duration, and rates for Goami, Hopyeong, and Hwaseonchal were 28.74-38.50%, 38.96-49.53%, and 40.24-48.88%, respectively. The granular size of acid hydrolyzed starches decreased to 122.4-479.9 nm, whereas granular aggregation increased with increasing hydrolysis duration. In particular, waxy rice starch of Hwaseonchal was composed of many tiny granules without aggregates. Gelatinization temperature and temperature range increased with increasing hydrolysis duration. All starches showed A type crystallinity using an x-ray diffractometer, regardless of acid hydrolysis. Conclusion: It is suggested that nanoparticles could be prepared by acid hydrolysis of rice starches, and waxy rice starch is the most preferred source for application.

Copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) are considered of great importance due to their high catalytic and antimicrobial activities. This study focuses on the preparation and characterization of CuNPs, and on their antibacterial/antifungal activities. A copper salt (copper sulfate pentahydrate) as precursor, starch as stabilizing agent, and ascorbic acid as reducing agent were used to fabricate CuNPs. The resulting product was characterized via different techniques such as X-ray diffractrometry (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to confirm its characteristic properties. Employing the Scherrer formula, the mean crystallite sizes of copper (Cu) and cuprous oxide (Cu₂O) nanocrystals were found to be 29.21 and 25.33 nm, respectively, as measured from the main X-ray diffraction peaks. The functional groups present in the resulting CuNPs were confirmed by FTIR. In addition, the engineered CuNPs showed antibacterial and antifungal activity against tested pathogenic bacterial and fungal strains.

본 실험은 emulsion-diffusion 방법을 이용한 코팅물질과 유화제를 혼합하여 균질하여 유화액을 만든 후 증류수를 첨가하여 확산시킴으로써 나노입자를 제조하는 방법을 사용하였다. 유화공정에 따른 변화를 살펴보기 위하여 균질기 종류와 균질 속도, 균질 시간을 달리하여 그에 따른 입자크기의 변화를 살펴보고, 나노유화액이 가장 잘 제조되는 조건에서 여러 종류의 코팅물질과 유화제를 이용하여 나노입자의 크기 변화를 살펴보았다. 또한 저장 온도와 저장 기간에 따른 나노입자 크기를 관찰 하고 그에 따른 활성에너지를 산출하였다. 유화 공정에 따른 나노입자 크기의 변화를 살펴보면 NEO II의 경우가 가장 작고 고른 나노입자을 형성하였다. 또한 균질 속도가 증가할 수록 입자가 작아지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 하지만 균질 시간이 증가될수록 입자크기가 증가되는 경향을 보였다. PF68은 유화 능력이 가장 좋은 유화제로 관찰되었고 코팅물질은 PCL이 가장 우수한 능력을 나타내어 나노입자를 제조하는데 있어서 가장 적당하다고 사료되었다. 저장 기간에 따른 입자크기를 살펴보면 저장 기간이 증가할수록 크기가 증가하며, 저장 온도가 낮을수록 변화의 폭이 더 큰 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 균질기 종류, 균질시간, 균질 속도, 코팅물질 그리고 유화제등은 유화액을 제조할 때 중요한 공정 조건이며 다양한 나노캡슐화 공정으로 원하는 크기의 나노입자를 제조할 수 있다고 사료된다.

Vascularization is essential for success in regenerative medicine. We have developed in vitro models to study how human microvascular endothelial cells (EC) and endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) colonize polymer scaffolds and express the endothelial phenotype, including angiogenesis. Examples are given of supportive growth and differeniation of EC on microfibre meshes of the silk protein fibroin and blends of starch with poly(epsilon-caprolactone), phenotypic markers being studied at both protein and mRNA level. Experimental models are also shown and concepts discussed to investigate how the stem cell niche, including that responsible for vascularization could be targeted, for example, by using engineered biodegradable polymer nanoparticles.
