RESUMO
This study evaluated the effects of four highland barley proteins (HBPs), namely, albumin, globulin, gliadin and glutenin, on the short-term retrogradation of highland barley starch (HBS). The findings reveal that HBPs could reduce the viscosity, storage modulus and hardness of HBS, with albumin and globulin showing more prominent effects. Furthermore, with the addition of HBPs, the loss tangent (tan δ) of HBS loss increased from 0.07 to 0.10, and the enthalpy of gelatinization decreased from 8.33 to 7.23. The degree of retrogradation (DR%) of HBS was 5.57%, and the DR% decreased by 26.65%, 38.78%, 11.67% and 20.29% with the addition of albumin, globulin, gliadin and glutenin, respectively. Moreover, the relative crystallinity (RC) and the double helix structures were inhibited with the HBPs' incorporation. Meanwhile, the HBPs also could inhibit water migration and improve the structure of HBS gels. In summary, HBPs could inhibit the retrogradation behavior of HBS, which provides new theoretical insights for the production studies of highland barley foods.

High-pressure microfluidization treatment (HPMT) was performed on the insoluble dietary fiber (IDF) of highland barley bran (HBB), with conditions set at 60 MPa (IDF-60), 120 MPa (IDF-120), and two consecutive high-pressure treatments at 120 MPa (IDF-120-2), respectively. Then the particle size, structural, physicochemical and adsorption properties of different IDF samples were analyzed. After HPMT, the particle size of IDF samples gradiently decreased (p < 0.05), and part of IDF was transferred into soluble dietary fiber (SDF), accompanied by the decrease of hemicellulose and lignin content. In addition, the morphology of the IDF samples became more fragmented and wrinkled, and the two consecutive treatments at 120 MPa significantly damaged the crystalline structure of the IDF. Moreover, the adsorption capacities to water, oil, cholesterol, and NO2- were basically enhanced with the increase of treatment pressure and treatment number. The IDF-120-2 sample had the strongest water/oil-holding, swelling, and cholesterol trapping capacities, and the IDF-120 showed strongest NO2- trapping capacity (pH = 2). Through the correlation analysis, the adsorption capacities were positively to the particle size and SDF content, and negatively correlated with the specific surface area (SSA) and IDF content. The adsorption capacities of IDF for the four substances were positively correlated with each other.

In this study, five C18 fatty acids (FA) with different numbers of double bonds and configurations including stearic acid (SA), oleic acid (OA), elaidic acid (EA), linoleic acid (LA), and α-linolenic acid (ALA), were selected to prepare highland barely starch (HBS)-FA complexes to modulate digestibility and elaborate the underlying mechanism. The results showed that HBS-SA had the highest complex index (34.18 %), relative crystallinity (17.62 %) and single helix content (25.78 %). Furthermore, the HBS-C18 FA complexes were formed by EA (C18 FA with monounsaturated bonds) that had the highest R1047/1022 (1.0509) and lowest full width at half-maximum (FWHM, 20.85), suggesting good short-range ordered structure. Moreover, all C18 FAs could form two kinds of V-type complexes with HBS, which can be confirmed by the results of CLSM and DSC measurements, and all of them showed significantly lower digestibility. HBS-EA possessed the highest resistant starch content (20.17 %), while HBS-SA had the highest slowly digestible starch content (26.61 %). In addition, the inhibition of HBS retrogradation by fatty acid addition was further proven, where HBS-SA gel firmness (37.80 g) and aging enthalpy value were the lowest, indicating the most effective. Overall, compounding with fatty acids, especially SA, could be used as a novel way to make functional foods based on HBS.

Highland barley vinegar, as a solid-state fermentation-type vinegar emerged recently, is well-known in Qinghai-Tibet plateau area of China. This work aimed to explore the main physicochemical factors, key flavor volatile compounds, and dominate microorganisms of highland barley vinegar during fermentation. The results showed that the decrease trend of reducing sugar, pH and the increase trend of amino acid nitrogen were associated with the metabolism of dominate bacteria, especially Lactobacillus and Acetobacter. Totally, 35 volatile compounds mainly including 20 esters, 10 alcohols, 2 aldehydes, 1 ketone and 2 pyrazines and 7 organic acids were identified. Especially, isoamyl acetate, acetyl methyl carbinol, ethyl caprylate, 1,2-propanediol, 3-methyl-1-butanol and ethyl isovalerate with high odor activity values were confirmed as key aroma compounds. Meanwhile, the relative average abundance of bacteria at genus level decreased significantly as fermentation time goes on. Among these microbes, Lactobacillus were the dominate bacteria at alcohol fermentation stage, Lactobacillus and Acetobacter were dominate at acetic acid fermentation stage. Furthermore, the correlations between dominate bacteria and the key volatile compounds were revealed, which highlighted Lactobacillus and Acetobacter were significantly correlated with key volatile compounds (|r| > 0.5, P < 0.01). The fundings of this study provide insights into the flavor and assist to improve the production quality of highland barley vinegar.

The effects of high-resistant starch (RS) content rice flour, psyllium husk powder (PHP), and psyllium powder (PP) on the edible quality and starch digestibility of rice noodles were investigated in this study. High-RS rice noodles showed lower digestibility but poor edible quality. With the addition of PHP and PP, high-RS rice noodles' cooking and texture quality were improved significantly, especially the breakage rates, cooking losses, and chewiness (P < 0.05). Compared to traditional white rice noodle's estimated glycemic index (eGI) of 86.69, the eGI values for 5PHP-RN and 5PHP-2PP-RN were significantly decreased to 66.74 and 65.77, achieving a medium GI status (P < 0.05). This resulted from the high amylose and lipid content in the modified rice flour and psyllium, leading to increase of starch crystallinity. Besides, based on the analysis of Pearson's correlation, it can be found that PHP rich in insoluble dietary fiber (IDF) could improve high-RS noodle cooking and texture quality better, while PP rich in soluble dietary fiber (SDF) can further reduce the RDS content and its starch digestibility. Therefore, utilizing modified rice flour with an appropriate addition of PHP and PP can be considered an effective strategy for producing superior-quality lower glycemic index rice noodles.
