Structural and digestive properties of tiger nut starch–lauric acid complexes: Insights from multiscale characterization
Key Points
Structural properties of tiger nut starch–lauric acid complexes show significant improvement in digestive properties, enhancing nutrient absorption.
Digestive analysis indicates that these complexes may boost the bioavailability of certain nutrients by modifying starch behavior in the digestive system.
Assessment using multiscale characterization techniques provides comprehensive insights into the interactions between starch and lauric acid.
This study indicates potential for developing functional food ingredients; further exploration on practical applications is recommended.
