The disclosure provides a modified cyclodextrin/mesoporous silica for adsorbing Pb and Cd and application thereof, belonging to the technical field of adsorbent materials. By using surface modification, chloroacetic acid is used as anions, and a modified cyclodextrin is grafted onto a surface of a cyclodextrin/mesoporous silica by nucleophilic substitution to prepare the modified cyclodextrin/mesoporous silica adsorbent material. The modified cyclodextrin/mesoporous silica adsorbent material prepared in the disclosure has the advantages of simple preparation method, strong adsorbability, easy separation, good biocompatibility and the like. When the material is used as an adsorbent to adsorb heavy metal ions Pband Cd, maximum removal rates can reach 97.8% and 81.29% respectively. Therefore, the material has wide application prospects in removal of heavy metals in sewage and the like, thereby improving the water environment that people depend on for survival.

The present disclosure discloses a simple preparation method of green acid-modified cyclodextrin, belonging to the field of cyclodextrin modification. Cyclodextrin and succinic acid are mutually modified by an esterification reaction in the presence of catalyst, and acid-modified cyclodextrin with different modification degrees is obtained by controlling reaction time at a high temperature or under a microwave action. The prepared modified cyclodextrin does not involve the use of toxic and harmful reagents, the modification reaction is simple, green and controllable, and the loading capacity of the modified cyclodextrin to guest molecules is remarkably improved compared with the loading capacity of the original cyclodextrin, so that the modified cyclodextrin has great application potential in the health fields such as food, medicines, and cosmetics.

A method of preparing the instant whole wheat crisps includes: using whole wheat grains as raw materials, fully soaking the whole wheat grains to make the whole wheat grains absorb water until saturating, and then performing cooking, extruding, sheeting, and microwave vacuum drying to obtain the instant whole wheat crisps. In the present disclosure, no artificial additive is added in the processing process, and the wheat grains are extruded and dried at a low temperature, which conforms to the current trend of 'clean label' foods. Moreover, the whole wheat grains are processed into crisps, which are unadulterated whole wheat foods and conforms to the current trend of whole grains.

The disclosure herein relates to a method for preparing branched cyclodextrin and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of synthesis of branched cyclodextrin. The method comprises the following steps: (1) dissolving maltodextrin in a phosphate buffer solution, and adding CGTase for reacting; (2) reducing enzyme activity by a physical method; and (3) adding a saccharifying enzyme to the reaction system of step (2), and performing high-temperature enzyme deactivation to obtain the branched cyclodextrin. The method has mild reaction conditions, and at the same time, cyclodextrin and unreacted substrates can be hydrolyzed via the weak coupling activity of CGTase, thereby realizing effective separation of the branched cyclodextrin.

The present disclosure discloses a fluorescent starch nanocrystal and a preparation method and application thereof. Mainly based on the character that starch nanocrystal has an active hydroxyl group on the surface, the present disclosure introduces fluorescein isothiocyanate into the surface of the starch nanocrystal in the form of stable covalent bonds through a two-step chemical modification method: silane coupling and electrophilic addition of fluorescein, so as to prepare the starch nanocrystal with fluorescent properties. The preparation process of the present disclosure is simple and easy to operate, uses cheap and readily available raw materials, involves low cost, and allows the non-fluorescent starch nanocrystal to produce significant fluorescent properties without affecting the properties of the starch nanocrystal itself, thereby expanding the application of starch. Moreover, the fluorescent starch nanocrystal thus obtained has significant fluorescent properties, good biocompatibility and biodegradability, has application prospects in the fields of biosensor preparation, bioimaging marking and fluorescent analysis and detection, and can be further prepared into a novel nano-fluorescent probe with organic nano-particles as the matrix.
