چکیده

Statistically and causally meaningful relationships are established between starch molecular structure (the molecular distribution of branched starch and the chain length distribution of debranched starch) and texture (hardness and stickiness) of cooked rice grains. The amounts of amylose chains with degree of polymerization (DP) 100-20,000, and of long amylopectin chains, positively correlated with hardness, while amylopectin chains with DP<70 and amylose molecular size both showed negative correlations with hardness (p<0.05). There was also a significant negative correlation between stickiness and the amounts of long amylopectin chains (p<0.01). For rices with similar amylose content, the amount of amylose chains with DP 1000-2000 positively correlated with hardness while size negatively correlated with hardness (p<0.05). This indicates for the first time that, regardless of amylose content, rice varieties with smaller amylose molecular sizes and with higher proportions of long amylose chains have a harder texture after cooking.

Chemometric analysis of cooked rice texture in relation to starch fine structure and leaching characteristics

Cluster, correlation, and multivariate regression analyses were used to rationalize the effects of grain composition, starch fine structure, and leaching characteristics on cooked rice texture (hardness and stickiness). The head rice grain composition of 23 U.S. long-grain cultivars was evaluated in terms of apparent amylose content, crude protein, and surface lipids. Starch samples were prepar...

Properties of Endosperm Starches and Physical Properties of Cooked Rice from Japanese Upland Rice Cultivars Containing M-type Amylopectin

Here we examined the properties of endosperm starches and the physical properties of cooked rice from four cultivars of Japanese upland rice containing M-type amylopectin (Chikanarijyun1, Kairyo13, Mogamichikanari1 and Hokkaiakage); S-type Nipponbare and L-type Kasalath served as standards. The amylopectin chain ratio (ACR ; ratio of the short chains of DP ≤ 10 to the short and intermediate cha...

The molecular structural features controlling stickiness in cooked rice, a major palatability determinant

The stickiness of cooked rice is important for eating quality and consumer acceptance. The first molecular understanding of stickiness is obtained from leaching and molecular structural characteristics during cooking. Starch is a highly branched glucose polymer. We find (i) the molecular size of leached amylopectin is 30 times smaller than that of native amylopectin while (ii) that of leached a...

Structure and functional properties of sorghum starches differing in amylose content.

Starches were isolated from grains of waxy, heterowaxy, and normal sorghum. To study the relationship between starch structure and functionality and guide applications of these starches, amylose content, amylopectin chain-length distributions, gelatinization and retrogradation, pasting properties, dynamic rheological properties, and in vitro enzyme digestion of raw starches were analyzed. Heter...

MutMapPlus identified novel mutant alleles of a rice starch branching enzyme IIb gene for fine‐tuning of cooked rice texture

Physicochemical properties of storage starch largely determine rice grain quality and food characteristics. Therefore, modification of starch property is effective to fine-tune cooked rice textures. To obtain new resources with modified starch property as breeding materials, we screened a mutant population of a japonica cultivar Nipponbare and found two independent mutant lines, altered gelatin...
