Evaluation of variations in amylose-iodine absorbance spectraU
نویسنده
چکیده
Evaluation of the variations in spectra of the amylose-iodine complex of starches and amyloses from various botanical sources provide a useful aid for identification and characterization of these substances. Variations in absorptivity, wavelengths of maximum absorbance, and the slopes of the absorbance peaks provide characteristic data for starches as a result of variations in amylose molecular weight. This data can be used to provide a convenient and relatively rapid means for detecting major differences, as between starches from normal and high amylose maizes, or between raw and modified starches and to evaluate effect of processing conditions. © 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Rapid high throughput amylose determination in freeze dried potato tuber samples.
This protocol describes a high through put colorimetric method that relies on the formation of a complex between iodine and chains of glucose molecules in starch. Iodine forms complexes with both amylose and long chains within amylopectin. After the addition of iodine to a starch sample, the maximum absorption of amylose and amylopectin occurs at 620 and 550 nm, respectively. The amylose/amylop...
متن کاملChanges in starch physical characteristics following digestion of foods in the human small intestine.
Factors controlling the concentration of resistant starch (RS) in foods are of considerable interest on account of the potential for this type of fibre to deliver health benefits to consumers. The present study was aimed at establishing changes in starch granule morphology as a result of human small-intestinal digestion. Volunteers with ileostomy consumed six selected foods: breakfast cereal (m...
متن کاملCyclization reaction catalyzed by glycogen debranching enzyme (EC 2.4.1.25/EC 3.2.1.33) and its potential for cycloamylose production.
Glycogen debranching enzyme (GDE) has 4-alpha-glucanotransferase and amylo-1,6-glucosidase activities in the single polypeptide chain. We analyzed the detailed action profile of GDE from Saccharomyces cerevisiae on amylose and tested whether GDE catalyzes cyclization of amylose. GDE treatment resulted in a rapid reduction of absorbance of iodine-amylose complex and the accumulation of a product...
متن کاملThe complex of amylose and iodine
The organization of polyiodide chains in the amylose-iodine complex was investigated by Raman spectroscopy, by UV/vis, and by second-derivative UV/vis spectroscopies complemented by semiempirical calculations based on a simple structural model. The Raman spectra indicate that the primary substructures of the polyiodide chains are I–3; and I; sub-units. The second derivatives of the UV/vis spect...
