Because it contains more moisture, drying is necessary to prevent microbial spoilage, improve stability, and increase shelf life, making it suitable for use in value-added foods and nutraceutical products. The drying behaviour of amla pomace dried in a computer-controlled tray drier at different drying temperatures, DT (50, 60, and 70°C) and air velocities, AV (0.9, 1.0, and 1.1 m/s) was therefore explored. Drying of amla pomace was observed to follow falling rate period pattern over the DT and AV range. Five thin-layer drying models were evaluated for amla pomace, and the Page model showed the best fit with the highest R² and lowest χ² and RMSE values. An ANN model with a 3–3–4–1 topology predicted the drying behaviour of amla pomace with greater accuracy than the page model. Furthermore, the effective moisture diffusivity (D_eff) and activation energy (E_a) were estimated using linearization and DA-nlinfit methods, with latter method predicted both D_eff and E_a at lower RMSE and higher R² values. Also, the mass transfer coefficient and Gibbs free energy increased with increasing DT, while enthalpy followed converse trend, as determined by the DA-nlinfit method. Further, rise in DT adversely affected the phytochemical attributes and colour quality of pomace powder, although AV helps in retention of all these quality attributes of amla pomace powder. Nonetheless, phenolic content, total flavonoid content and DPPH assay was found to be maximum at 60°C and 1.1 m/s, while colour attributes and ascorbic acid content was most preserved at 50°C and 1.1 m/s. Additionally, microstructural analysis confirmed that higher DT lagged behind in preserving the cellular matrix of pomace.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100545,"journal":{"name":"Food Physics","volume":"3 ","pages":"Article 100085"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146187557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The functional behavior of potato starch is governed by intrinsic structural features, such as granule size, crystalline organization, and the amylose-to-amylopectin ratio, which collectively influence gelatinization, viscosity development, and retrogradation. Despite these favorable attributes, native potato starch shows limited resistance to heat, shear, and acidic conditions, which restricts its direct use in many industrial processes. This narrative review provides an integrated overview of potato starch functionality, major modification strategies, sustainability aspects, and industrial applications. Physical, chemical, and enzymatic modification methods are discussed in relation to their effects on starch structure and the resulting functional performance. Particular attention is given to emerging green modification approaches that seek to enhance functionality while reducing chemical use and energy demand. A comparative analysis highlights the differences in effectiveness, scalability, and industrial feasibility between conventional and alternative modification technologies. Sustainability considerations are examined through biodegradation behavior and life cycle perspectives, emphasizing the importance of balancing functional improvement with environmental performance. Industrial case studies demonstrate the application of modified potato starch in various food systems, thermoplastic materials, packaging, and other value-added products, where processing conditions and formulation choices significantly influence the outcome.
