Yu S., Xu J., Zhang Y., Kopparapu N.K. (2014): Relationship between intrinsic viscosity, thermal, and retrogradation properties of amylose and amylopectin. Czech J. Food Sci., 32: 514–520. The relationships between intrinsic viscosity and some properties of amylose and amylopectin were investigated. The intrinsic viscosities determined by Ubbelohde viscometer for rice, maize, wrinkled pea and p...

Changes in the physicochemical properties of wheat, sago, tapioca and potato starches were studied after heating for 1 hour at 100oC, 110oC, and 120oC and for 2 hours at 120oC. These properties were characterised through the swelling behaviour of starch granules, amount of carbohydrate materials leached from the granules, starch paste retrogradation rate and gel strength. For all starches excep...

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...

the mode of heat and mass transfer during baking of bakery products is an important factor determining the quality of the final product. the heating rate could alter the starch properties during gelatinization and affect the quality of products after baking and during aging. sangak is a kind of iranian flat bread baked on the hot pebble gravels. the aim of this study was to evaluate the impacts...

Porous starch materials with various morphology and properties were made via dissolution, retrogradation drying either supercritical CO2 (“aerogels”) or lyophilisation (“cryogels”). Their correlated the rheological response of retrograded gels crystallinity aerogels cryogels. All cryogels possess very low density (0.07 – 0.16 g/cm3), large macropores specific surface area (around 3–13 m2/g). is...

Starch is the major component of cereal grains and starchy foods, and changes in its biophysical and biochemical properties (e.g., amylose, amylopectin, pasting, gelatinization, viscosity) will have a direct effect on its end use properties (e.g., bread, malt, polymers). The use of rapid and non-destructive methods to study and monitor starch properties, such as gelatinization, retrogradation, ...

We enzymatically modified rice starch to produce highly branched amylopectin and amylose and analyzed the resulting structural changes. To prepare the highly branched amylopectin cluster (HBAPC), we first treated waxy rice starch with Thermus scotoductus alpha-glucanotransferase (TSalphaGT), followed by treatment with Bacillus stearothermophilus maltogenic amylase (BSMA). Highly branched amylos...

Maize starches from three wx-containing genotypes (wx, du wx, and ae wx) in two inbred lines (W64A and IaS125) were examined to evaluate the effect of mutant genotype on amylopectin fine structure and thermal behavior of starch granules. The amylopectin chain length distribution and A:B chain ratio were investigated by enzymatic treatments followed by high-performance size-exclusion chromatogra...

It is thought that digestion of hydrogen bonds results in the unwinding of the double helices of parallel α-1,4 glucan chains in the crystal lamellae of amylopectin molecules. Th...

The retrogradation rate of waxy rice starch gel was investigated during storage at temperatures in the vicinity of the glass transition temperature of a maximally concentrated system (T g '), as it was hypothesized that such temperatures might cause different effects on retrogradation. The T g ' value of fully gelatinized waxy rice starch gel with 50% water content and the enthalpy of melting r...
