A method using Raman spectroscopy was recently developed for the determination of the degree of substitution of succinate in waxy maize starch. In this paper it is demonstrated that the method can be generalized to a wide range of starches of different amylose contents and botanical origins. Raman calibration sets were used to form regression equations for five types of succinylated starches, that is, waxy, regular, and two high-amylose maize samples (47 and 66% amylose, respectively) and wheat. The derived calibration curves can be used to find the degree of substitution in samples with unknown levels of succinylation. The Raman calibration lines had linear correlation coefficients of 0.995 or better and enable the fast and nondestructive determination of the degree of substitution of succinate for different types of starches with minimal sample preparation. Also discussed is the potential utility of Raman spectroscopy to simultaneously determine the degree of substitution of succinate and amylose content, using previously determined calibration curves developed for the amylose content of maize starches.  相似文献

We present a brief introduction to FT‐Raman spectroscopy and examples of its use in cereal science for readers not familiar with Raman spectroscopy. We illustrate the use of FT‐Raman spectroscopy as an analytical tool to measure the degree of chemical modification of chemically modified starches and as a technique to determine conformational and structural changes in plant proteins under different environmental conditions. We briefly describe other applications of Raman spectroscopy in cereal science.  相似文献

A method using Raman spectroscopy was recently developed for the determination of the degree of acetylation in modified wheat starch. In this article, we show that the method can be generalized to a wide range of starches of different botanical origin and amylose content. Calibration sets were used to develop regression equations for 11 types of acetylated starches, including cereal (rice, maize, wheat) and noncereal (potato and sweetpotato) sources. The calibration lines were then used to predict the level of acetylation of starch samples with unknown level of acetylation using their Raman spectra. In each case, R2 > 0.98 for linear regression of Raman vs. titrimetric determination of acetylation. The Raman-based calibration curves allow fast and nondestructive determination of the degree of acetylation for different types of starches.  相似文献

In this paper we report the application of NMR spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy to determine the degree of maleate substitution in maleinated starches. Five kinds of maleinated starches were investigated and calibration sets were constructed to derive linear regression equations that may be used to predict the degree of maleate substitution for starch samples with unknown amounts of chemical modification. The calibration sets reported have very high linearity (r > 0.99) for both the NMR and Raman methods. The NMR and Raman calibration sets allow fast and nondestructive measurement of the degree of maleate substitution for different starches with little need of sample preparation.  相似文献

An analytical method using Raman spectroscopy was developed for the determination of amylose concentration in maize starches. FT-Raman spectra of four maize starches with amylose content varying from 3.3 to 66% were obtained. A Raman band at ≈1657 cm-1 correlated linearly with amylose concentration in the four maize starches, and a calibration curve for Raman band intensity versus amylose content was developed. The linear correlation of the I1657/I900 integrated areas with amylose content was r = 0.997. The Raman-based calibration curve allows fast and nondestructive determination of the amylose content in maize starches with minimal sample preparation.  相似文献

The molecular size distribution of maize starch nanoparticles (SNP) prepared by acid hydrolysis (3.16M H2SO4) and their amylase‐resistant counterparts, before and after debranching, was investigated. The weight average molecular weight (Mw) and linear chain length distribution were determined by high‐performance size‐exclusion chromatography (HPSEC) and high‐performance anion‐exchange chromatography (HPAEC), respectively. The objective was to understand the role of amylose involvement in the formation of SNP showing different crystalline structures (A‐ and B‐types). The HPSEC profiles of SNP before debranching from waxy, normal, and high‐amylose maize starches showed broad monomodal peaks. Debranched SNP from waxy maize eluted in a single narrow peak, whereas those from nonwaxy starches showed a multimodal distribution. Similar trends were also observed for the chain length distribution patterns, for which the longest detectable chains (degree of polymerization [DP] 31) in waxy maize were significantly lower than those of nonwaxy maize starches (DP 55–59). This indicated the potential amylose involvement in the SNP structure of normal and high‐amylose starches. Further evidence of amylose involvement was ascribed to the resistance of SNP toward amylolysis (Hylon VII > Hylon V > normal > waxy). The amylase‐resistant residues of SNP from high‐amylose maize starches were composed of both low Mw linear and branched chains.  相似文献

Wheat has great potential to make inroads into starch markets with the advent of partial waxy and waxy starches of diverse composition and properties. The majority of isolated starch utilized in food applications is chemically modified to improve starch properties according to the intended use. Therefore, it is critical to understand factors that affect wheat starch reactivity. This work investigated the relative reactivities of normal, partial waxy, and waxy wheat starches and their respective A‐ and B‐type starch granule fractions. Native starch isolated from four closely related soft wheat lines (normal, partial waxy, and full waxy) was modified through 1) substitution (propylene oxide analog) and 2) cross‐linking (phosphorus oxychloride) reactions to generate both types of modified starch products for each wheat line. Characterization of the unmodified starch fractions confirmed compositional differences among the cultivars and their respective granule types. In cross‐linking reactions, B‐type granules were slightly more reacted than A‐type granules for all cultivars, while the waxy starch generally exhibited higher reactivity compared with normal and partial waxy starches. For the substituted starches, no differences in reactivity were observed among the cultivars or between the two granule types.  相似文献

Banana starch was chemically modified using single (esterification or cross-linking) and dual modification (esterification-cross-linking and cross-linking-esterification), with the objective to increase the slowly digestible starch (SDS) and resistant starch (RS) concentrations. Physicochemical properties and in vitro digestibility were analyzed. The degree of substitution of the esterified samples ranged from 0.006 to 0.020. The X-ray diffraction pattern of the modified samples did not show change; however, an increase in crystallinity level was determined (from 23.79 to 32.76%). The ungelatinized samples had low rapidly digestible starch (RDS) (4.23-9.19%), whereas the modified starches showed an increase in SDS (from 10.79 to 16.79%) and had high RS content (74.07-85.07%). In the cooked samples, the esterified starch increased the SDS content (21.32%), followed by cross-linked starch (15.13%). Dual modified starch (cross-linked-esterified) had the lowest SDS content, but the highest RS amount. The esterified and cross-linked-esterified samples had higher peak viscosity than cross-linked and esterified-cross-linked. This characteristic is due to the fact that in dual modification, the groups introduced in the first modification are replaced by the functional group of the second modification. Temperature and enthalpy of gelatinization decreased in modified starches (from 75.37 to 74.02 °C and from 10.42 to 8.68 J/g, respectively), compared with their unmodified starch (76.15 °C and 11.05 J/g). Cross-linked-esterified starch showed the lowest enthalpy of gelatinization (8.68 J/g). Retrogradation temperature decreased in modified starches compared with unmodified (59.04-57.47 °C), but no significant differences were found among the modified samples.  相似文献

A novel, fast, and straightforward procedure is presented for the characterization of starch (the largest energy component in food) and modified starches (such as octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA)-modified starches used as a dispersing agent in the food industry). The method uses (1)H NMR to measure the degree of branching and also, for modified starches, the degree of chemical substitution. The substrate is dissolved in dimethyl-d(6) sulfoxide; addition of a very low amount of deuterated trifluoroacetic acid (d(1)-TFA) to the medium gives rise to a shift to high frequency of the exchangeable protons of the starch hydroxyl groups, leading to a clear and well-defined (1)H NMR spectrum, which provides an improved way to determine the degrees of both branching and chemical substitution. Measurements of the size and molecular weight distributions by multiple-detector size exclusion chromatography show that degradation by TFA does not affect the accuracy of the method.  相似文献

Waxy maize (native and hydroxypropylated [HP]) and potato starches were impregnated with ionic gums (sodium alginate, CMC, and xanthan, 1% based on starch solids) and heat‐treated in a dry state for 0, 2, or 4 hr at 130°C. Effects of the dry heating on paste viscosity (RVA) and clarity (light transmittance) were examined. Heat treatment with sodium alginate and CMC raised the paste viscosities of native and HP waxy maize starches, but decreased that of potato starch. Xanthan provided the most substantial changes in paste viscosity among the tested gums. It appeared to heavily restrict granule swelling of the waxy maize starches, but it increased swelling of potato starch granules. Dry heating raised the paste viscosity of all the starch‐gum mixtures tested, except the potato starchalginate mixture. The final viscosity at 50°C of a 7% paste was raised in all other starches by ≈500–1,000 cP by this treatment. The paste of waxy maize starch‐gum products became opaque and shorter textured by the heat treatment, regardless of the gum type, whereas potato starch‐gum products did not show any obvious change in paste clarity. Ionic gums could behave as cross‐linking agents as well as form graft copolymers through heatinduced ester formation. This simple heating process with ionic gums could be used as a modification method for starch.  相似文献

Processing conditions similar to traditional nixtamalization are now used by the industry in the production of dry maize flours (DMF). The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the effect of industrial nixtamalization on maize starch. Thus, dent maize grains were sampled from storage silos and the starch isolated (S). From the same batch of maize, DMF was obtained and the starch isolated (S‐DMF). The amylose content in the starches was quite similar (21.5–23.4%) and characteristic of a dent maize. However, nixtamalization increased the calcium content in S‐DMF. The starches investigated exhibited the typical A‐type diffraction pattern after 40 days of storage at 11–84.1% rh. However, the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results showed that annealing of maize starch occurred during storage at 30°C. On the other hand, industrial nixtamalization has both a melting and annealing effect on maize starch. Thus, the operative glass transition temperature (Tg), and the DSC parameters that define starch gelatinization (Tp and ΔH) showed that the proportion between crystalline and amorphous regions within the starch granule and the extent of physical damage to starch were modified by nixtamalization. As an example, Tg for S was between 60 and 62.5°C, while the S‐DMF had a Tg of 45–55°C for damaged starch and 65–70°C for annealed starch. Additionally, the extraction of the nonconstitutive starch lipids provided starches with more consistent thermal properties, particularly in the behavior of gelatinization at different water content. This last observation might have important implications in the consistency of starch physicochemical properties and, consequently, in the quality of maize products such as tortillas.  相似文献

Fourier‐transform Raman (FT‐Raman) spectroscopy and near‐infrared (NIR) reflectance spectroscopy were used to compare calibration models for determining rice cooking quality parameters such as apparent amylose and protein. Samples from two seasons were used in each calibration set. The laboratory values ranged from 4.89 to 12.48% for protein and from 0.2 to 25.7% for amylose. The data for both FT‐Raman and NIR were preprocessed with orthogonal signal correction (OSC) for standardization. For both spectroscopic methods, five models were optimized by partial least squares regression (PLSR) and by Martens' uncertainty regression (MUR), including no processing, smoothing, normalization, first derivative (D1), and second derivative (D2). Based solely on standard error of cross‐validation (SECV), the FT‐Raman method was superior to the NIR method for protein. For amylose, the FT‐Raman and NIR methods resulted in similar calibration statistics with a high precision, with the FT‐Raman requiring fewer factors. The best FT‐Raman models were generated from OSC preprocessing with MUR for protein (SECV 0.15%, five factors) and from OSC without MUR for amylose (SECV 0.70%, seven factors). The best NIR models were obtained with D2 transform of OSC spectra for protein (SECV 0.22%, four factors) and with OSC spectra for amylose (SECV 0.57%, 11 factors).  相似文献

Effects of heat-moisture treatment (HMT) and lipids on the structure and gelatinization of maize and potato starches were studied, and the retrogradation process of 20% HMT starch gels was also investigated. Maize starch was physically modified by HMT or by defatting. Potato starch was physically modified by HMT or by adding monoglycerides. The X-ray pattern of the HMT maize starch was assigned to a combination of A and V patterns, which indicated that HMT formed crystallized amylose complexes and recrystallized amylose in maize starch granules. However, the X-ray pattern of defatted maize starch did not change for HMT, so the lipids originally existing in starch granules were important to the formation of new crystallites during this treatment. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results suggested that weaker structures in amylopectin crystallites were more susceptible to degradation after HMT, while crystallized amylose complexes developed thermal stability after treatment. The amylose contents increased with increasing degree of HMT, which suggested that the newly created amylose arose from exterior linear chains of amylopectin degraded by the treatment. Investigation of retrogradation process showed that HMT significantly promoted retrogradation of starch gels, especially the initiation of recrystallization.  相似文献

Native starch granules of 11 selected cultivars (potato, waxy potato, sweet potato, normal maize, high‐amylose maize, waxy maize, wheat, normal barley, high‐amylose barley, waxy barley, and rice) were treated with a calcium chloride solution (4M) for surface gelatinization. The surface‐gelatinized starch granules were investigated using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). In general, those starches with larger granule sizes required longer treatment time to complete the gelatinization. The salt solution treatment of starch was monitored by light microscopy and stopped when the outer layer of the granule was gelatinized. The surface gelatinized starch granules were studied using scanning electron microscopy. On the basis of the gelatinization pattern from calcium chloride treatments, the starches could be divided into three groups: 1) starches with evenly gelatinized granule surface, such as normal potato, waxy potato, sweet potato, maize, and high‐amylose maize; 2) starches with salt gelatinization concentrated on specific sites of the granule (i.e., equatorial groove), such as wheat, barley, and high‐amylose barley; and 3) starches that, after surface gelatinization, can no longer be separated to individual granules for SEM studies, such as waxy barley, waxy maize, and normal rice. The morphology of the surface gelatinized starch resembled that of enzyme‐hydrolyzed starch granules.  相似文献

Starches of wheat, corn, smooth and wrinkled peas, and chickpeas were modified to a free‐flowing powder of granular cold‐water gelling (GCWG) starch using liquid ammonia and ethanol at 23°C and atmospheric pressure. Amylose content of starches was 26.3% in wheat, 27.1% in corn, 35.4% in chickpeas, 43.2% in smooth peas, and 79.9% in wrinkled peas. The modified starches remained in granular form with an increased number of grooves and fissures on the surface of the granules compared with native starch, while the crystallinity was mostly lost, as shown by X‐ray diffractograms and DSC endothermic enthalpies. Pasting viscosity of modified starches at 23°C was 171 BU and 305 BU in wheat and corn, respectively, and much higher in legume starches, ranging from 545 BU to 814 BU. Viscosities of modified legume starches at 23°C were at least twice as high as those of native starches determined at 92.5°C. Swelling power of modified starches at 23°C ranged from 8.7 g/g to 15.3 g/g, while swelling power of native starches heated to 92.5°C ranged from 4.8 g/g to 16.0 g/g. GCWG starches exhibited higher dextrose equivalent (DE) values of enzymatic hydrolysis, ranging from 25.2 to 27.0 compared with native starches (1.5–2.9). Modified starches from wheat, corn, smooth peas, and chickpeas formed weak gels without heat treatment and experienced no changes in gel hardness during storage, while native starch gels formed by heat treatment showed an increase in hardness by 1.1–7.5 N during 96 hr of storage at 4°C.  相似文献

Starches from the endosperm of three types of total‐waxy cereals (bread wheat, maize, and barley) were used in reconstitution studies of durum wheat semolinas to investigate the effect of waxy starch on pasta cooking quality. The chemical composition and the pasting and gelatinization properties of the starches used in this study were evaluated to define the functional properties of each waxy starch. The rheological properties of dough semolinas were evaluated by small‐scale mixograph. Spaghetti was prepared using a small‐scale pasta extruder and its cooking quality was assessed using a texture analyzer. Cooked pasta firmness, resilience, and stickiness were measured. The substitution of semolina starch with waxy starches from different sources changed the functional properties of dough and their pasta quality. A decrease in firmness was detected in all the semolinas reconstituted with waxy starches. An increase in stickiness was found when semolinas with waxy starch from wheat were evaluated. No improvement in pasta quality should be expected if the waxy character is introduced in durum wheat.  相似文献

The aim of the present study was to investigate effects of debranching, autoclaving‐storing cycles, and drying processes (oven‐drying or freeze‐drying) on RS contents, thermal, pasting, and functional properties of high‐amylose maize starches (Hylon V and Hylon VII). The resistant starch (RS) contents increased (≤57.8%) with increasing autoclaving‐storing cycles. RS contents of oven‐dried samples were higher than those of freeze‐dried samples due to ongoing retrogradation of starch during oven drying at 50°C. Debranching caused a significant decrease in peak transition temperature and enthalpy values as compared with native starches. Solubility and water binding values of RS preparations were higher than those of native starches. Addition of native and autoclaved samples had improving effect on emulsion properties of albumin. Cold viscosity values of oven‐dried samples were lower as compared with freeze‐dried samples; this might be due to higher number of H‐bonds in the oven‐dried samples expected to be formed during drying. Debranching and autoclaving‐storing cycles caused decreases in peak, breakdown, and final viscosity values. The results of present study showed that debranching and heat treatments increased the RS contents and improved the functional properties of high‐amylose maize starches.  相似文献

Changes in the digestibility and the properties of the starch isolated from normal and waxy maize kernels after heat‐moisture treatment (HMT) followed by different temperature cycling (TC) or isothermal holding (IH) conditions were investigated. Moist maize kernels were heated at 80°C for 2 hr. The HMT maize kernels were subjected to various conditions designed to accelerate retrogradation of the starch within endosperm cells. Two methods were used to accelerate crystallization: TC with a low temperature of –24°C for 1 hr and a high temperature of 20, 30, or 50°C for 2, 4, or 24 hr for 1, 2, or 4 cycles, and IH at 4, 20, 30, or 50°C for 24 hr. The starch granules were then isolated from the treated kernels. The starch isolated from HMT normal maize kernels treated by TC using –24°C for 1 hr and 30°C for 2 hr for 2 cycles gave the greatest SDS content (24%) and starch yield (54%). The starch isolated from HMT waxy maize kernels treated by TC using –24°C for 1 hr and 30°C for 24 hr for 1 cycle had an SDS content of 19% and starch yield of 43%. The results suggest that TC after HMT changes the internal structure of maize starch granules in a way that results in the formation of SDS (and RS). They also suggest that thermal treatment of maize kernels is more effective in producing SDS than is the same treatment of isolated starch. All starch samples isolated from treated normal maize kernels exhibited lower peak viscosities, breakdown, and final viscosities and higher pasting temperatures than did the control (untreated normal maize starch). Although peak viscosities and breakdown of the starch isolated from treated waxy maize kernels were similar to those of the control (untreated waxy maize starch), their pasting temperatures were higher. The starch isolated from treated normal and waxy maize kernels with the highest SDS contents (described above) were further examined by DSC, X‐ray diffraction, and polarized light microscopy. Onset and peak temperatures of gelatinization of both samples were higher than those of the controls. Both retained the typical A‐type diffraction pattern of the parent starches. The relative crystallinity of the starch from the treated normal maize kernels was higher than that of the control, while the relative crystallinity of the starch from the treated waxy maize kernels was not significantly different from that of the control. Both treated starches exhibited birefringence, but the granule sizes of both starches, when placed in water, were slightly larger than those of the controls.  相似文献

Normal corn, high-amylose corn, waxy corn (waxy maize), wheat, rice, potato, cassava (tapioca), and a modified waxy corn starch were blended in various combinations and ratios. Pasting behavior, paste and thermal properties, and retrogradation tendency were determined. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) traces of the mixtures did not resemble those of either of the two components, nor did any DSC trace have two peaks suggestive of a mixture of two distinct starches. Amylograph data suggested that some mixtures behaved like a chemically modified starch. Observations from light microscopy suggested that intermolecular, molecular-supermolecular, and intersupermolecular interactions may be responsible for this behavior.  相似文献

Resistant starches (RS) were prepared from wheat starch and lintnerized wheat starch by autoclaving and cooling and by cross‐linking. Heat‐moisture treatment also was used on one sample to increase RS. The experimental resistant starches made from wheat starch contained 10–73% RS measured as Prosky dietary fiber, whereas two commercial resistant starches, Novelose 240 and 330, produced from high‐amylose maize starch, contained 58 and 40%, respectively. At 25°C in excess water, the experimental RS starches, except for the cross‐linked wheat starch, gained 3–6 times more water than the commercial RS starches, and at 95°C gained 2–4 times more. Cross‐linked RS4 wheat starch and Novelose 240 showed 95°C swelling powers and solubilities of 2 g/g and 1%, and 3 g/g and 2%, respectively. All starches showed similar water vapor sorption and desorption isotherms at 25°C and water activities (aw) < 0.8. At aw 0.84–0.97, the resistant starches made from wheat starch, except the cross‐linked wheat starch, showed ≈10% higher water sorption than the commercial resistant starches.  相似文献
