Abstract:
... Cassava starch was modified with amylomaltase (AMase) at different enzyme/substrate ratios (E/S) and reaction times to explore the structural changes and the retrogradation properties. AMase-treated starch (ATS) showed an increase in weight-average molecular weight (Mw) at a short reaction time, and the action mode of AMase revealed two trends separated by the E/S. At high E/S (≥2 U/g), Mw increas ...

Abstract:
... To explore the effect of the out-shell structure on dry heat modification efficiency on starch, chemical gelatinization technology was used to deshell the potato starch granules. The controlled shell-separated levels of approximately 10%, 30%, and 50% of the remnant were obtained. Further, starch samples were subjected to dry heat treatment (DHT), and the multi-structural, physicochemical, and dig ...

Abstract:
... Quinoa, known for its nutritional quality and as a low GI food, has arose great interests of scientists in the recent past. Intrinsic properties of starch as well as endogenous proteins and lipids might be important factors influencing the digestion processes of cooked quinoas. This work aims to investigate the roles of endogenous proteins and lipids on starch digestibility in quinoa flour, and un ...

Abstract:
... Oleogels were produced starting from Pickering emulsions, stabilized by octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) modified high amylose (HS-OSA), waxy (WS-OSA), and granular cold-water swelling starch (GCWS-OSA). GCWS-OSA had the highest degree of OSA substitution (DS) and contact angle with the oil-water interface, and the smallest emulsion droplet size (0.0149, 80.4°, 12.58 μm), followed by WS-OSA (0.009 ...

Abstract:
... The correlation between starch internal structure and thermal properties (gelatinisation and retrogradation) was studied in starches of wild-type potatoes and potatoes from the lines with altered starch synthase or branching enzyme activities (GBSS, SS, SBE), representing a range of amylose:amylopectin ratio from 2 to >99.5% amylopectin. The different potato lines were divided into Group 1–8 depen ...
... Staling is a complex process that determines the shelf-life of baked products like bread. Breads made using high-amylose flour may elicit a lower glycaemic response, with benefits for health, however the impact of storage on structure of novel high-amylose wheat foods is not known. We investigated the staling behaviour of high-amylose bread made from a starch branching enzyme II (sbeII) wheat muta ...
... The effect of energetic neutral argon (EAr) atoms on the short and long-term retrogradation was studied, and the retrograded starch was used to prepare bioplastic films for better mechanical and barrier properties. Kithul starch showed higher short and long-term retrogradation after treatment. The EAr atoms treatment increased amylose content and amylose leaching; it facilitated the short-term ret ...
... Solid-liquid thermo-reversibility, lacking in raw starch is an important property for gels allowing repeated thermal processing in food. In this work, the Thermoproteus uzoniensis 4-α-glucanotransferase (TuαGT) was used to modify five different starches from potato, corn, rice, wheat, and pea and the thermo-reversibility of the modified starch gels was evaluated by rheological assay. Only modified ...
... This work aims to understand the relation between multi-scale structural changes and in vitro digestion of tapioca starch modified by wet-media milling. The native starch granules were smooth and difficult to digest due to the hindrance of enzymes entry into the granules by the concentric shell architecture. However, 1-min milling could break the smooth surface of starch granules, weakening shell ...

Abstract:
... All-glucose block copolysaccharides with alternated α- and β-configured blocks do not exist in nature. Such polysaccharides, and materials made thereof, might exhibit very interesting properties due to the different supramolecular structures of the two α- and β-configured blocks. This would be helical for starch and linear for cellulose in the case of a non-derivatized all-glucose polysaccharide. ...
... A series of dicarboxylic-amylose inclusion complexes (AIC) were prepared by excess steam jet-cooking high amylose corn starch with linear C10, C12, C14, and C16 dicarboxylic acids to examine the influence of two polar head groups on complex formation. The C12, C14, and C16 dicarboxylic acid AIC were prepared in 48–63 % yields and contained 8.9–11.8 % diacid while the C10 AIC gave 30 % and containe ...

Abstract:
... To extend our previous studies concerning the enantioseparation of 4C-substituted pyrrolidin-2-one derivatives on polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phases with ethanol/n-hexane mobile phases, two commercially available immobilized chiral stationary phases [amylose derivatized with (S)-α-methylbenzylcarbamate, and cellulose derivatized with 3,5-dichlorophenylcarbamate] were studied. Also, effo ...

Abstract:
... Alteration of the enantiorecognition ability of polysaccharide-based chiral columns in the shipping normal phase (NP) eluent after exposition to polar organic (PO) mode eluents can be conceived as an incomplete hysteresis cycle. Non-standard solvents provide a solution to overcome this issue with immobilized stationary phases, but a procedure was missing so far to regenerate coated stationary phas ...

Abstract:
... Nitrogen is an important factor that influences the yield and quality of wheat grain. However, little is known about its effect on the different positions of the grain in spikelets. Compared with the control group, nitrogen application increased the weight, starch content, and protein content of grains in each position considerably. In particular, the protein content in high grain positions of Yan ...

Abstract:
... Starch exists naturally as insoluble semi-crystalline granules assembled by amylose and amylopectin. Acknowledging the pioneers, we have reviewed the major accomplishments in the area of starch structure from the early 18th century and further established the relation of starch structure to nutritional functionality. Although a huge array of work is reported in the area, the review identified that ...

Abstract:
... The T-DNA insertion technique is widely used in molecular breeding for its stable inheritance and low copy number in the plant genome. In our experiment, a transfer DNA (T-DNA) insertion grain of m-1a in rice was identified. Phenotypic analysis revealed that the grains appeared chalky and became extensive. The epidermis was shrinking. Meanwhile, the amylose contents of the seeds decreased signific ...

Abstract:
... Although gelatinization property has been intensively investigated with its relation to starch structures, how a combination of starch molecular structures and moisture content affect the gelatinization remains unclear. The gelatinization of six rice starches with a wide range of amylose content was investigated under different moisture content in this study. Results showed that starch gelatinizat ...

Abstract:
... The effect of ball milling treatment (BMT) for different time (0, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 60 min) on the structural, physicochemical and digestive properties of wheat starch (WS), A- (AS) and B-type (BS) starch granules were investigated. The results showed that the damaged starch content, amylose content and the solubility of WS, AS and BS increased after BMT. Scanning electron microscopy exhibited th ...

Abstract:
... This research aimed to investigate the effect of starch gelatinization and swelling degree on the lubrication properties of starch aqueous suspensions. Three types of maize starch with different amylose content of 70% (HAS), 25% (NS), and <1% (WS) were used to vary the swelling capacities. The granule suspension of NS showed the highest swelling factor (SF) of 26.5, and gave the best lubrication c ...

This review systematically documents the major different strategies of generating high-amylose (HAS) starch mutants aiming at providing high resistant starch, by engineering the starch biosynthesis metabolic pathways. We identify three main strategies based on a new representation of the starch structure: ‘the building block backbone model’: i) suppression of starch synthases for reduction of amyl ...
