Real-time rheological investigation of complex behaviour in cornstarch suspensions
Cornstarch suspensions are well known for their surprising property of being able to support a person running across the surface of a pool of the suspension — a phenomenon called shear jamming. This phenomenon has far reaching importance across industries involving granular and colloidal solids …

The Fracture Behavior and Mechanical Performance of Biodegradable Cornstarch Plastic Composites
… and soy protein isolate (SPI) to a common cornstarch matrix. The effects of cellulose and SPI fillers as anti-crack agents in high-amylose starch plastics were not obvious, but the tensile strength and elastic modulus of the high-amylose cornstarch/cellulose composite were 8106 psi and 201 …

Blood glucose and plasma lipids of Zucker fatty and lean rats fed diets containing cornstarch and sucrose
… of consumption of diets high in sucrose and cornstarch on glucose and lipid metabolism in Zucker fatty and lean rats and Sprague-Dawley rats were investigated in the present study. Rats of each strain or genotype, 8 to 10 months of age, were fed diets containing 56% cornstarch or 57% sucrose …

Effects of acute and chronic exercise on the activities of hepatic lipogenic enzymes in rats
… diet than in rats fed high-glucose or high-cornstarch diets. Exercise decreased CL, PK, FAS, and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) activities, especially in fructose-fed rats. Study 2 examined the time course of dietary induction of enzymes in fasted/refed rats, and the inhibitory …

Determination of the effects of pulse starches (pea, lentil and faba bean) versus cornstarch on growth performance and glucose tolerance in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
… of carbohydrate from ge-latinized and precooked cornstarch, gelatinized tapioca starch and gelatinized potato starch on fish growth. The overall effect size was 0.42 and P value was 0.65. The second meta-analysis examined the effect of glucose, maltose and dextrin on fish growth. The overall …

Relaxation of Dense Suspension
… we investigate the relaxation of water-cornstarch mixtures at different cornstarch mass fractions. The relaxation of these cornstarch suspensions is explored by measuring the stress decay upon flow cessation with a rheometer and a texture analyzer, and by capturing the spreading dynamics …

The Ultrasonic Characterization of Shear Thickening Suspensions
… of shear thickening. An aqueous suspension of cornstarch represents an important exemplar of such physical systems. The physics underlying the behavior of such shear thickening suspensions is incompletely understood. Characterization of these suspensions may provide valuable clues into the …

The Utilization of Dietary Fiber and Its Effects on The Utilization of Other Dietary Components by Swine
… of three commercial cellulose products to a 15% cornstarch-casein diet. Cellulose additions to a 9% CP cornstarch-casein diet had no significant effect on N excretion or retention. Pigs fed the 9% CP diets digested only half as much NDF as pigs fed the 15% CP diets. These results suggest a …

Multiscale continuum thermodynamics based modeling of transport mechanisms and starch expansion during extrusion
… The viscoelastic properties of extruded cornstarch were measured as a function of process conditions. The extruded cornstarch samples were conditioned in the moisture range of 12.9–31.2% (dry basis). Dynamic and creep behavior of the extrudate were evaluated using a dynamic mechanical …

Relaxation behavior of dense suspensions
… To understand the relaxation behavior of a cornstarch/water dense suspension, samples are prepared at different fm, in the range that shows dramatic shear thickening, between 54.5% and 58.5% cornstarch. Each sample is formed into drops and kept in the stressed state through dynamic shearing …

Relationships between material properties and microstructure-mechanical attributes of extruded biopolymeric foams
… into the deformation mechanism of extruded cornstarch foams. Microstructure features, including average cell diameter (2.07-6.32 mm), wall thickness (0.13-0.25 mm) and number density (18-146 cm-3), were measured. Microstructure had moderate to high correlations (|r| = 0.48 - 0.81) with …

Phosphorus bioavailability and digestibility in canola meals determined by different methods
… SBM relative to KH2PO4. A phosphorus-deficient cornstarch-dextrose-SBM basal diet was fed as Diet 1. Diets 2 and 3 had 0.05% or 0.10% P added from KH2PO4, respectively. The remaining diets had 12.5% or 25% TCM, CCM, or SBM added in place of cornstarch and dextrose. Bioavailability of P was …

Metabolic Control, Quality of Life, and Body Image In Patients With Glycogen Storage Disease Type Ia
… and includes dietary modification, frequent cornstarch usage, and evaluation for additional complications such as hepatic adenomas, hypertriglyceridemia, and kidney disease. Previous studies have found lower scores in quality of life and body image in GSDIa patients; however, the specific …

Utilization of Soy Protein by the Young Pig
… when compared to a milk protein, i.e., casein. Cornstarch reduces feed intake and gain in comparison to lactose in the diet. Removal of the soluble carbohydrate fraction of the soybean was not effective for improving performance beyond that supported by soybean meal. Extrusion cooking of corn …

Digestibility of calcium and digestible calcium requirements in pigs
… the effect of using a corn-based diet or a cornstarch-based diet on the STTD of Ca in fish meal. Results indicated that fiber increased (P < 0.001) the STTD of Ca, but the STTD of Ca was not affected by soybean oil. The STTD of Ca in the corn-based diet was greater (P < 0.05) than in the …

Developing new techniques to synthesize layered cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries
… of acetate and nitrate salt anions (LRACNI) with cornstarch. Cornstarch acts as a capping agent with the nitrate salt anions, and a gelling agent with acetate based anions. LRACNI shows an intermediate particle size with satisfactory capacity retention upon cycling and the lowest cationic mixing. …

Evaluation of the nutritional values of seven insect meals for inclusion in poultry diets
… 3) and partially-defatted BSFL. Three dextrose-cornstarch based diets consisting of 27%, 30%, and 30% of BSFL 1, BSFL 3, and partially-defatted BSFL, respectively, were fed to broiler chicks from 19 to 22 days of age. At 22 days of age, ileal digesta and excreta were collected. Ileal P …

Development of hydrophobic thermoplastic starch composites
… plasticized matrix formed by thermoplastic cornstarch biopolymer. The function of starch-based polymers is limited due to poor mechanical properties. However, it is improved with forming a biocomposite of thermoplastic starch (TPS) as matrix and the cellulose fibers (CF) as reinforcement. …
