Diets containing 30% by weight of waxy maize starch, lactose monohydrate, acetylated distarch phosphate (EEC No. 1414) or acetylated distarch adipate (EEC No. 1422) were fed to weanling female Specified Pathogen-Free Sprague-Dawley rats for 1 yr and to similar 9-month-old rats for 34 wk. Behaviour and general health were unaffected by the different diets and there were no diet-related differenc...

Native sago starch was phosphorylated with 5% sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) or crosslinked with 4% phosphorous oxychloride (POCl3) at pH 8 to 11. The modified starches were characterized for degree of substitution (DS), pasting properties, crystallinity and molecular structure. The results indicated that DS of phosphorylated sago starch prepared at pH 9 was 0.008, which was the highest value a...

The increasing prevalence of coeliac disease (CD) and gluten-related disorders has led to increasing consumer demand for gluten-free products with quality characteristics similar to wheat bread. The replacement of gluten in cereal-based products remains a challenge for scientists, due to its unique role in network formation, which entraps air bubbles. When gluten is removed from a flour, starch...

Many different biopolymers are used to stabilize emulsions, of which starch is particular concern. To improve the characteristics and technical utility native starch, various types changes can be made. This article a report describing molecular dynamics water by low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF NMR) chemically (E 1412 E 1420) physically modified (LU 1432) gels effect their use on stabil...

The article characterizes starch as an important raw material for various technologies. properties of native starches (e.g. solubility, rheological or retrogradation) are not suitable the given purpose in some cases and therefore modified – physically, chemically biochemically. use derivatives such a way food production, well their technical is indicated. so-called "clean-label" represent relat...

Health concerns led to a shift toward the consumption of high dietary fiber bread. Additionally, climate change and supply chain have investigation new sources utilizing waste products or co-products various crops, such as hazelnuts. The utilization hazelnut skin also presents value-adding opportunity for producers processors. This research aims investigate source enhance nutritional quality so...

Phosphate esters are responsible for valuable and unique functionalities of starch for industrial applications. Also in the cell phosphate esters play a role in starch metabolism, which so far has not been well characterized in storage starch. Laforin, a human enzyme composed of a carbohydrate-binding module and a dual-specificity phosphatase domain, is involved in the dephosphorylation of glyc...
