The rheological and functional properties of starch are influenced by the size and molar mass distribution of the polymer, the ratio of amylose (AMY) to amylopectin (AMP), and branching characteristics. Asymmetric Flow Field-Flow Fractionation (AF4) was applied to fractionate five different maize hybrids of varying AMY:AMP ratio. When coupled to detection by multi-angle light scattering and refractive index (MALS–RI), it was possible to determine mass percentage and the average weight-average molar mass (Mw) without the need for calibration standards. Sufficient resolution of amylose and amylopectin was achieved by applying a gradient cross-flow on a 17 cm trapezoidal channel with a 350 μm spacer. The observed Mw ranged from about 2 × 105 to 4 × 105 for amylose and from 1 × 108 to 4 × 108 for amylopectin. The corresponding z-average root-mean-square radii (Rz) for AMP ranged from 145 to over 300 nm. Low recoveries from the AF4 channel were found to be due primarily to the focusing step. The calculated mass percent of AMY and AMP from integrated RI peak areas agreed well with nominal values for the individual starch hybrids. Both qualitative and quantitative data were reproducible. The results show the AF4–MALS–RI method to be well suited for routine molecular characterization of starch.  相似文献

A plastic-like material can be obtained by thermomolding wheat gluten protein which consists of glutenin and gliadin. We studied the effect of molding temperature (130-170 °C), molding time (5-25 min) and initial wheat gluten moisture content (5.6-18.0%) on the gluten network. Almost no glutenins were extractable after thermomolding irrespective of the molding conditions. At the lowest molding temperature, the extractable gliadin content decreased with increasing molding times and moisture contents. This effect was more pronounced for the α- and γ-gliadins than for the ω-gliadins. Protein extractabilities under reducing conditions revealed that, at this molding temperature, the cross-linking was predominantly based on disulfide bonds. At higher molding temperatures, also non-disulfide bonds contributed to the gluten network. Decreasing cystine contents and increasing free sulfhydryl and dehydroalanine (DHA) contents with increasing molding temperatures and times revealed the occurrence of β-elimination reactions during thermomolding. Under the experimental conditions, the DHA derived cross-link lanthionine (LAN) was detected in all gluten samples thermomolded at 150 and 170 °C. LAN was also formed at 130 °C for gluten samples containing 18.0% moisture. Degradation was observed at 150 °C for samples thermomolded from gluten with 18.0% moisture content or thermomolded at 170 °C for all moisture contents.  相似文献

The rapid visco analysis (RVA) system was used to measure rheological behaviour in 20% (w/v) gluten-in-water suspensions upon applying temperature profiles. The temperature profiles included a linear temperature increase, a holding step, a cooling step with a linear temperature decrease to 50 °C, and a final holding step at 50 °C. Temperature and duration of the holding phase both affected RVA viscosity and protein extractability. Size-exclusion and reversed-phase HPLC showed that increasing the temperature (up to 95 °C) mainly decreased glutenin extractability. Holding at 95 °C resulted in polymerisation of both gliadin and glutenin. Above 80 °C, the RVA viscosity steadily increased with longer holding times while the gliadin and glutenin extractabilities decreased. Their reduced extractability in 60% ethanol showed that γ-gliadins were more affected after heating than α-gliadins and ω-gliadins. Enrichment of wheat gluten in either gliadin or glutenin showed that both gliadin and glutenin are necessary for the initial viscosity in the RVA profile. The formation of polymers through disulphide bonding caused a viscosity rise in the RVA profile. The amounts of free sulphydryl groups markedly decreased between 70 and 80 °C and when holding the temperature at 95 °C.  相似文献

The effect of heat treatment on the soluble protein content in oat groats (Kerstin commercial variety) was evaluated using asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation (AF4) in combination with online multiangle light scattering (MALS) and UV detection. The AF4 method was used to separate the monomeric proteins from globulin hexamer and aggregate proteins and β-glucan polysaccharides in the soluble oat protein fraction. The total amount of soluble protein (with respect to total protein) was reduced to 35.7 ± 4.5 wt. % in heat treated oats from 74.6 ± 5.3 wt. % in non-heat treated oats. The ratio of monomeric to globulin hexamer and aggregate proteins was reduced from 1.82 to 1.48 as a result of heat treatment. Sodium-dodecyl-sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis revealed the selective elimination of protein bands associated with the albumin and prolamin protein fractions as a result of heat treatment. These results were supported through amino acid analysis by cation exchange chromatography coupled with UV detection which revealed a reduction in amino acid residues associated with prolamin. The globulin proteins were found to be less sensitive to heat treatment.  相似文献

Starches from various botanical sources, having different amylose–amylopectin levels, were treated with 95% (v/v) dimethylsulphoxide and then dissolved by microwave heating in a high pressure vessel (MWHPV). This procedure led to an almost complete dissolution of the starch sample when it was subsequently taken up in water. Various treatment times were tested, and optimal conditions corresponded to 35 s heating time in MWHPV (maximum temperature 143 °C). Under these conditions, degradation of the polymers was not noticeable and the degree of solubilisation of starch in the samples was in the range 87 to 100%. High-performance size exclusion chromatography (HPSEC) in tandem with multi-angle laser light scattering and refractive index detection was used to investigate apparent weight-average molar mass ( w) and z-average gyration radius ( G) of the starch components. Apparent wand Gvalues for samples with different amylose contents (between ≈0 and 65·8%) were between 2·2±0·2×108and 2·4±0·2×107g/mol and between 250±10 and 163±5 nm, respectively. These values were higher than those reported previously1,2probably due to our more complete but less severe solubilisation procedure. When the heating time was increased from 35 to 90 s (maximum temperature 211°C), the wand Gdecreased, demonstrating possible polymer degradation due to temperature. Partial precipitation of high amylose samples after 24 h storage was detected by modifications in chromatograms, compared with freshly prepared samples.  相似文献

Although different supplies of sulphur (S) during wheat growth are known to influence the quantitative composition of gluten proteins in flour, an effect on the amount and on the proportions of single protein types has yet not been determined. Therefore, wholemeal flours of the spring wheat ‘Star’ grown on two different soils and at four different levels of S fertilisation (0, 40, 80, 160 mg S per container) were analysed in detail using an extraction/HPLC procedure. The results demonstrated that the amount of total gluten proteins as well as of the crude protein content of flour was little influenced, whereas amounts and proportions of single protein types were strongly affected by the different S fertilisation. The changes were clearly dependent on the Cys and Met content of each protein type. The amount of S-free ω-gliadins increased drastically, and that of S-poor high-molecular-weight (HMW) glutenin subunits increased moderately in the case of S deficiency. In contrast, the amounts of S-rich γ-gliadins and low-molecular-weight (LMW) glutenin subunits decreased significantly, whereas the amount of α-gliadins was reduced only slightly. S deficiency resulted in a remarkable shift of protein proportions. The gliadin/glutenin ratio increased distinctly; ω-gliadins became major components, and γ-gliadins minor components, whereas the ratio of HMW to LMW glutenin subunits was well-balanced.  相似文献

Cereals are widely consumed foodstuffs and it is therefore important to take them into account when estimating consumer exposure to packaging-related chemicals. The mass transport of three model migrants (diphenylbutadiene, triclosan and BHT) from low-density polyethylene (LDPE) within dry foodstuffs of different particle size (rice and wheat flour) was studied because of the relationship between consumer exposure and possible harmful effects on human health. The conditions that most affect the mass transport of substances within dry foods are evaluated and discussed. The diffusion coefficients (DF) for diphenylbutadiene (DPBD) and triclosan in the studied foodstuffs were estimated. The DF values for DPBD and triclosan in wheat flour at 25 °C were 7.1 × 10−8 cm2/s and 3.3 × 10−8 cm2/s, respectively. The DF values for DPBD and triclosan in rice at 25 °C were 4.7 × 10−8 and 4.3 × 10−8 cm2/s, respectively. BHT displayed different behaviour and other tests were therefore carried out to elucidate the associated mass transport process.  相似文献

Cysteine, N-ethylmaleinimide, radical scavengers, various salts or urea were added to wheat gluten. After treatment at increasing pressure (0.1–800 MPa) and temperature (30–80 °C) the resulting material was analysed by micro-extension tests and an extraction/HPLC method to measure protein solubility. Furthermore, cysteine was added to isolated gliadin and glutenin prior to high-pressure treatment and protein solubility was determined. The resistance to extension of gluten strongly increased and the solubility of gliadin in aqueous ethanol decreased with increasing pressure and temperature. As compared to experiments without additive the observed effects were much stronger. Isolated gliadin turned largely insoluble in aqueous ethanol when cysteine was added prior to high-pressure treatment. The S-rich α- and γ-gliadins were much more strongly affected than the S-poor ω-gliadins pointing to a disulphide related mechanism. Monomeric gliadin components were completely recovered after reduction of the aggregates with dithioerythritol. In contrast, samples without free thiol groups such as isolated gliadins or with SH groups, which had been blocked by N-ethylmaleinimide, were hardly affected by high-pressure treatment. The addition of radical scavengers to gluten showed no effect in comparison to the control experiment, indicating that a radical mechanism of the high-pressure effect can be excluded. The observed effects can be explained by thiol-/disulphide interchange reactions, which require the presence of free thiol groups in the sample. The addition of salts and urea showed that unfolding of the protein due to weakening of interprotein hydrogen bonds is strongest for ions with a high radius (e.g. thiocyanate). This leads to weakening of gluten at ambient pressure but it facilitates high pressure induced reactions, e.g. of disulphide bonds.  相似文献

The present study investigated the effects of high-intensity ultrasound (HIUS) on the physicochemical and functional properties of amaranth protein isolates (API). Aqueous dispersions of API (10%) were continuously treated for 15 or 30 min with ultrasound equipment (100 W, 30 kHz) at 30, 60, and 90% amplitudes. The electrophoresis technique demonstrated no changes in the molar masses of the proteins. However, HIUS significantly increased the surface free sulfhydryl groups (SH) and changed the surface hydrophobicity, indicating a breakdown of internal links that maintained the native API structure. Ultrasound reduced the size of the particles in the aqueous dispersions of API, suggesting the dissociation of aggregates from API. The results showed that the solubility in most HIUS-treated API was significantly (p < 0.05) higher than that of the native proteins at pH 7. The energy density of 50 J/cm3 provided the best-combined properties of emulsion formation and stability. These results suggest that HIUS is a useful technology to improve the functional properties of amaranth proteins.  相似文献

The water vapor diffusivities of vitreous and mealy wheat endosperms were measured using diffusion cells containing wax-scaled cylinders of endosperm. The diffusion cells were incubated in a chamber that was maintained at a constant temperature and relative humidity. A water vapor gradient was created by filling each diffusion cell with desiccant. A steady-state condition was achieved within 24 h. The mean diffusivities for the vitreous endosperm samples of cvs Arizona and Len were 2·0 × 10-8 cm2/s. The diffusivities for mealy samples of cvs Logan and Titan were 3·5 and 9·1 × 10-8 cm2/2, respectively. The liquid water diffusivities of whole caryopses were similar for five vitreous and five mealy wheat samples tested. No change was detected in the diffusion mechanism for any of the samples in the temperature range tested. The energy of activation (E) was significantly (P < 0·05) higher for endosperm for cv. Len, a vitreous sample, than for cv. Titan, a mealy sample.  相似文献

The contribution of gliadins to the baking performance of wheat has been widely discussed. In the present study we report the properties of the flours of fifteen transgenic wheat lines with γ-gliadins down-regulated by RNAi. Technological properties were assessed by sodium dodecyl sulfate sedimentation (SDSS) test, and rheological properties were characterized during mixing using the Mixolab®. Changes in the proportions of gluten proteins, with significant increases of glutenins, were observed in transgenic lines. These changes did not affect the SDSS test in most of the transgenic lines. The dough strength of some transgenic lines was reduced as determined by the Mixolab®. Changes in the starch behavior were also observed in the transgenic lines, in which lower values of torque were observed at the C3, C4 and C5 points of the mixing curve. The results reported here are important in understanding the role of γ-gliadins in the bread-making quality of flours.  相似文献

The study of food products is always a challenge due to the number of components involved and the interactions that may occur between them. Water is a particular ingredient which interacts with all hydrophilic compounds, although affinities may differ for limiting water amount. During this study, results obtained using 1H NMR on cake dough were compared in terms of the effects of flour type (soft or medium hard), the addition of gluten (5%–20%) and the use of soft flour fractions (flour particle fractions smaller or larger than 50 μm). T2 values and the signal intensities of different proton populations were studied as a function of the wheat protein contents of dough samples. Physicochemical characterization methods were used to better understand how the origin and particle size of flour might impact the hydration properties and mobility of a model system. Increasing the protein content in dough samples was related to an increase of the mobility of fat protons and of the least mobile proton population (relaxation times ranging from 175 to 180 ms and from 5 to 7 ms, respectively).  相似文献

This study aimed at characterizing the effect of hydrothermal dynamics on the dough rheology, in order to develop a complete dough viscosity model valid at different locations during baking. The dough rheology was characterised using dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA). Temperature and water content (WC) were monitored during DMTA. At high heating rates (15–30°C/min), relevant to the top crust, viscosity behaved as if WC was kept constant, in spite of dehydration (37%); such similarity was valid up to 80°C (stage A). Beyond, the viscosity decrease observed in the samples at constant WC was replaced by a long-lasting plateau (stage B, 3–4 × 106 Pa.s), attributed to WC reduction below ∼37%. Above the boiling water temperature, the logarithm of viscosity increased linearly with decreasing WC (stage C). At lower heating rates (5°C/min), relevant to the bottom crust, viscosity was two-fold higher than that at higher heating rates, suggesting lower oven-rise. The viscosity decrease, observed at high temperatures (>80°C) for samples at constant WC, was not observed if drying occurred late (case of crumb beneath the crust); instead, viscosity increased up to levels close to that of the top crust (2–3 × 107 Pa.s at WC∼20%). Despite these deviations, viscosity as a WC function was modelled with a unique equation set.  相似文献

Field studies were conducted to determine the potential for intraspecific responses in crop growth and grain yield of 20 soybean cultivars to enhanced ultraviolet-B (UV-B, 280–315 nm) radiation. The supplemental UV-B radiation was 5.00 kJ m−2, simulating a depletion of 20% stratospheric ozone at Kunming (25°N, 1950 m). Out of the 20 soybean cultivars tested, 17 and 15 showed significant change in plant height at 80 DAP (days after planting) and ripening stages, respectively. Sensitivity in plant height was greater at 80 DAP than at ripening. The plant height of 3 cultivars increased, and that of 17 cultivars decreased. Under UV-B radiation, LAI (leaf area index), biomass and grain yield decreased, respectively. The greatest percent decrease was 95.7, 93.9 and 92.8, respectively. RI (response index) was the sum of percent change in plant height at ripening, LAI, biomass and grain yield. The results showed that all 20 soybean cultivars had a negative RI, indicating inhibition by UV-B radiation on soybean growth. The RI of 6 tolerant cultivars was higher than −163.1 and 5 out of 6 originated from south China (low latitude). The RI of the most tolerant cultivars, Yunnan 97801, was −72.4. Meanwhile, the RI of 5 sensitive cultivars was lower than −256.9 and 4 out of the 5 originated from north China (high latitude). The RI of the most sensitive cultivar, Huanxianhuangdou, was −295.7. These UV-B tolerant cultivars identified in this study might be useful in breeding programs.  相似文献

Normal corn, Hylon V and Hylon VII starches were partially degraded by acid-ethanol treatment and applied to heat-moisture treatment (HMT) for improving the enzymatic resistance of starch. The weight-average degree of polymerization (DPw) of acid-ethanol-treated (AET) corn starches ranged from 6.75 × 105 to 181, 4.48 × 105 to 121, and 1.94 × 105 to 111 anhydrous glucose units for normal corn, Hylon V and Hylon VII starches, respectively. Starch retained its granular structure after AET and HMT, recovery of starch granules after modifications were higher than 92%. Resistant starch (RS) content and boiling-stable RS content of corn starch increased after dual modification, and the increment increased with increasing duration of AET. The boiling-stable RS content of dual-modified starch increased from 1.5 to 9.2, 12.2 to 24.1, and 18.0 to 36.2% for normal corn, Hylon V and Hylon VII starches, respectively. Increments of RS content and boiling-stable RS content of dual-modified starches were significantly correlated (r2 > 0.700) with DPw of starch, revealing that the enzymatic resistance of dual-modified corn starch granules increased with decreasing molecular size of starch. Result also suggested that starch granules partially degraded with AET could improve the molecular mobility and ordering during the consequent HMT.  相似文献

Pre-harvest glyphosate is applied to cereal grains to control weed growth. However, it has been claimed that oat (Avena sativa L.) composition is affected by pre-harvest glyphosate application. The research was conducted to evaluate differences in properties of β-glucan in grains of pre-harvest glyphosate treated versus untreated oat plants. Two oat cultivars (Rockford and Souris) were grown at Minot and Prosper, ND, in 2015, and glyphosate was sprayed during the soft dough stage, hard dough stage, or not applied. β-glucan viscosity was not significantly (p > 0.05) affected by treatment at soft dough (1082 cP) or mature (1166 cP) stages compared with untreated (1150 cP) controls. Applying glyphosate at the soft dough stage significantly (p < 0.05) reduced the content and solubility of the β-glucan versus untreated samples. β-glucan content and solubility in oat treated at soft dough were 4.35% and 52.1%, respectively, while in untreated samples were 4.65% and 60.6%, respectively. Treatment at soft dough and hard dough stages significantly (p < 0.05) increased weight average molecular weight (Mw) of the high molecular weight fraction of soluble β-glucan (4.4 × 106 and 3.8 × 106, respectively), compared with untreated controls (3.5 × 106). The Mw of the low molecular weight fraction of soluble β-glucan fraction significantly (p < 0.05) increased at soft and hard dough treatments (5.5 × 105 and 3.3 × 105, respectively), versus untreated samples (3.0 × 105). Therefore, glyphosate can be applied when the grain has reached physiological maturity or thereafter.  相似文献

Methodology for the quantitative analysis of intact glutenin proteins by ESI-LC-MS was developed with 1 Da mass resolution, constituting the first published application of proteoform profiling to plant biology. Two parent lines and 28 F5 crosses were analyzed in two blocks, 14 months apart. Control sample data were used to align retention times and normalize abundance between sample sets. A total of 4622 observations of 347 distinct proteoforms between 17 899 and 88 744 Da were observed. Proteoform abundances spanned a 1000-fold range and were linear (r2 > 0.990) with dilution. A novel method for the objective elimination of low intensity, noise-dominated data using replicate variability within the dataset is presented. Two abundant PTMs were detected; one known but uncharacterized Bx and Dy high-molecular-weight glutenin subunit (HMWGS) PTM and the other in 24 low molecular weight proteoform pairs. Finally, 16 abundant proteoforms were detected in progeny but not in either parent. This application should increase the statistical power of correlations between gluten complement and functional data and drive the detection of novel PTMs that may indicate differential regulation of the cellular processes related to quality.  相似文献
