Retrogradation of Potato Starch as Studied by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy

Retrogradation kinetics for a potato starch-water system (10% w/w gel) was monitored by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy and compared with waxy maize starch. The spectra showed the C-C and C-O stretching region (1300-800 cm⁻¹) to be sensitive to the retrogradation process. A multi-stage process was observed during the retrogradation of potato starch and characterized as the formation of short- and long-range order. The first stage was characterized as the formation of helices and the fast formation of crystalline amylose regions. The second stage was described as the induction time for amylopectin helix aggregation. Stage three was described as the helix-helix aggregation and the crystallization of amylopectin. The overall-first order calculated rate constant of potato starch was (9.6±1.4) 10⁻ 3h⁻¹. The calculated rate constant were in agreement with the known difference in retrogradation kinetics of waxy maize and potato starch. The effects were explained by the differences in retrogradation rate of amylopectin and amylose. Potato starch consists of amylose as well as amylopectin. Whereas amylose crystallization occurs within a few hours, amylopectin crystallization is slow and takes a few weeks.     

The effect of electrostatic interactions on pasting properties of potato starch/xanthan gum combinations

The effects of electrostatic interactions on pasting properties of potato starch (PS)/xanthan gum (XG) combinations were investigated. The RVA peak viscosity of combinations was decreased firstly and then increased with the adding of XG. The analysis and regression model performance of RVA measurement showed that there was the relationship between pasting properties of combinations and XG concentrations. Electrostatic repulsions between native potato starch or anionic modified potato starches (AP) and XG could be present by decreasing peak viscosity, but the pasting temperatures showed increasing trend. However, electrostatic attractions between cationic modified potato starch (CP) and XG showed the opposite effect. Negative zeta potential determination for combinations (− 54.6 mv) was higher than PS (− 35.2 mv) illustrated that combinations had more electronegativity and stability, in addition a phase-separated microstructure was exhibited in the combinations determined by Zeta potential results. SEM micrographs presented that XG film attached to the surface of PS granules, which inhibited the starch granules destruction and leaching of amylase. The electrostatic repulsion leaded to more stability of the three dimensional network structures of combinations. The strong electrostatic interactions between PS and XG were found to play an important role on the pasting properties of the combinations.     

糯玉米淀粉形成过程中理化特性的变化

为阐明糯玉米淀粉形成过程中理化特性的变化趋势。以6个糯玉米品种为材料,研究了其在花后7 d(淀粉初始期)、22 d(乳熟期)、40 d(成熟期)的淀粉理化特性。结果表明,新形成的淀粉粒为圆型或椭圆型,表层光滑,而鲜食期和成熟期淀粉粒呈不规则的多面体,表层粗糙。淀粉粒径和尖峰强度随生育进程推进逐渐加大(升高)。最大吸收波长和碘结合力以新形成的淀粉粒最高,其次是成熟期。RVA和DSC特征参数在不同生育阶段的变化品种间有显著差异。总体上,随着发育进程推进,淀粉峰值黏度、崩解值、热焓值和回生热焓值先升后降,而回生值、糊化和峰值温度逐渐下降。淀粉形成过程中淀粉粒形态、大小、晶体结构和链长分布发生变化,改变了淀粉糊化和热力学特性。     

酵母菌发酵生淀粉提高马铃薯淀粉回生率机理研究

以马铃薯淀粉为原料,淀粉回生率为考察指标,研究酵母菌发酵对马铃薯淀粉回生率的影响。通过对比发酵前后马铃薯回生淀粉的可见和红外吸收曲线,分析了酵母菌发酵提高马铃薯淀粉回生率的机理。结果表明,纤细酵母菌发酵马铃薯淀粉可使马铃薯淀粉回生率由12%提高到39.4%,提高了2.28倍。发酵后马铃薯回生淀粉中直链淀粉的最大可见吸收波长为587.8 nm,大于发酵前的569.6 nm。酵母菌发酵马铃薯淀粉提高其回生率的原因有两方面:一是发酵过程产生的酶使马铃薯支链淀粉脱支生成直链淀粉,增加了参与回生直链淀粉的量;二是发酵过程使马铃薯淀粉中醛基部分转变为伯醇基,进而生成糖苷键,增加直链淀粉链长,有利于淀粉回生过程晶体长大。     

Altering pasting characteristics of sweet potato starches through amino acid additives

ABSTRACT:  This study assessed the effects of amino acid additives, aspartic acid, leucine, lysine, and methionine, on the pasting and thermal characteristics of white- and orange-fleshed Beauregard sweet potato starches. A rapid visco analyzer 3D was used to determine pasting properties. In comparing pasting characteristics, starch from orange-fleshed sweet potato was found to be easier to cook, had a lower potential for retrogradation, and was less stable during heating than the white-fleshed sweet potato starch. The RVA analysis showed that the charged amino acids, aspartic acid and lysine, altered pasting characteristics of the 2 starches more than the neutral amino acids, leucine and methionine. Aspartic acid had similar effects on both starches, making them less stable during cooking and lowering the potential for retrogradation. Lysine, when added to the orange-fleshed sweet potato starch, decreased the breakdown, allowing for more stability during cooking. This study showed that pasting properties of sweet potato starches can be altered by the addition of amino acids.     

Physicochemical properties of potato and cassava starches and their mutants in relation to their structural properties

Physicochemical properties [swelling power (SP), pasting behaviour and retrogradation] of five wild type (wt), five amylose free (amf), four high-amylose (ha) potato starches (ps) and one wt and amf cassava starch (cs) were investigated. While swelling of wtps occurred in two phases, amfps showed a very fast swelling and no gel of swollen granules was observed at higher temperatures (>90 °C). Haps underwent only restricted swelling. SP of cassava starches were lower than those of potato starches. Wtps leached mainly amylose (AM) during heating at low temperatures. Molecules of higher molecular weight (MW) leached out at higher temperatures. Longer amylopectin (AP) chains [degree of polymerisation (DP) > 18] inhibited swelling while short chains (DP < 14) favoured swelling. Starch pasting behaviour of 5.0 and 8.0% starch suspensions was studied using Rapid Visco Analyser (RVA). For 5.0% suspensions, increased levels of high-MW AP and decreased levels of AM molecules led to higher peak viscosity. Longer AP chains (DP > 18) depressed peak viscosity, while short chains (DP < 14) increased peak viscosity for both concentrations. At 8.0%, peak viscosity increased with starch granule size. After 1 day of storage of gelatinised starch suspensions, wtps and especially amfps showed only limited AP retrogradation. In contrast, the high enthalpies of retrograded AP (ΔH_retro) and peak and conclusion temperatures of retrogradation (T_p,retro and T_c,retro) of haps suggested partial cocrystallisation between AM and AP. Chains with DP 18–25 seemed to be more liable to AP retrogradation. Wtcs and amfcs did not retrograde at room temperature.

Relationships between amylopectin internal molecular structure and physicochemical properties of starch

BackgroundStructure-property relationships of starch components remain a subject of research interest. In recent years, there has been increasing evidence revealing the importance of amylopectin internal structure in determining physicochemical properties of starch. The part between the sole reducing end and out branches of amylopectin forms the internal part of the molecule. It contributes to the formation of the amorphous lamellae of the granules.Scope and approachThis mini-review focuses on the impact of amylopectin internal molecular structure on different physicochemical properties of starch. The properties include gelatinization, swelling power, amylose leaching, pasting, retrogradation, and digestibility of starch. The statistical approach to analyze the structure-property relationships of starch is also discussed. Related nomenclatures are described.Key findings and conclusionsAmylopectin with a longer internal chain length tends to give more ordered packing of double helices in the granules with a higher thermal stability. A longer internal chain length of amylopectin also contributes to the formation of recrystallized amylopectin with a more ordered structure and higher thermal stability. The results summarised in this mini-review clearly show that the molecular structure of amylopectin internal part should be considered in order to better understand the complex structure-property relationships of starch components.     

Effects of cross-linking and low molecular amylose on pasting characteristics of waxy corn starch

The action of amylose within the granule of normal corn starch is investigated by changes in pasting characteristics of waxy corn starch in a Rapid Visco Analyzer (RVA), using addition of soluble amylose (DP = 18) and cross-linking with epichlorohydrin. Although waxy corn starch, containing no amylose, did not show an effect of addition of amylose on pasting characteristics, by cross-linking with epichlorohydrin, the pasting peak viscosity and breakdown were greatly enhanced and set-back (viscosity increased in the cooling process after gelatinization) was generated. The cross-linking depressed the disintegration of starch granules in the swelling process, with amylose interaction, resulting in RVA pasting characteristics similar to those seen with normal corn starch containing amylose. Set-back was essentially caused by rearrangement among modified amylopectins. Addition of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) to the RVA more efficiently enhanced the effect. This indicated that amylose in normal corn starch interacts with amylopectin through locally strong linkages.

Granular Structure and Physicochemical Properties of Starches from Amaranth Grain

The granular structure and physicochemical properties of starches isolated from grain amaranth cultivar K112 (Amaranthus cruentus L.) were studied in this study. Detailed physical and chemical analyses were performed by determining the granular morphology, crystallinity, particle size, thermal characteristics, blue value, enzyme susceptibility, and pasting properties. Results showed polygon-shaped A. cruentus L. K112 starch granules. The average diameter was 1.38 μm, in which half of the diameter was <2.91 μm. An A-type X-ray diffraction pattern was revealed with intense peaks of 15.2°, 17.5°, and 23.2°. The peak viscosity was 181 BU and the breakdown value was 2 BU. Amaranth starch obtained the highest pasting temperature (70.7°C) and enzymatic digestibility (absorbance value = 0.41 ± 0.013) compared with corn, cassava, and sweet potato starches.

Study of the retrogradation behaviour of rice cake using rapid visco analyser,Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X‐ray analysis

Retrogradation of gelatinised starch is the main phenomenon that influences the texture of MiGao (rice cake). The hardness of the MiGao increased during stored at 25 °C for 5 days. Rapid visco analyser (RVA), Fourier transform infrared (FT‐IR) spectroscopy and X‐ray were quantified to analysis the retrogradation behaviour of MiGao. The most significant change in the pasting curve was the increase in peak viscosity over time measured with an RVA. FT‐IR indicated changes in crystallinity of the MiGao crumb. The X‐ray diffraction patterns could be classified as typical of A‐type starch for the fresh MiGao. With aging, the B‐type structure increases, while the A‐type structure remains virtually unchanged. All the results suggested that the main mechanism underlying the changes in properties is suggested to be slow amylopectin crystallisation.     

Functional,biochemical and pasting properties of extruded bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) cotyledons

Response surface methodology was used to investigate the effects of extrusion conditions – namely moisture content (12.3–23.7 g 100 g^?1) and temperature (150–178 °C) – on physicochemical, antinutritional compounds, functional and pasting properties of extruded bean cotyledons. Results indicated that extrusion cooking did not change the chemical composition of bean flours, but completely eliminated the activity of the trypsin and α‐amylase inhibitors and haemagglutinins. The extrusion significantly improved starch and protein digestibility, water solubility and absorption of bean cotyledon. In addition, extrusion conditions significantly affected pasting properties, resulting in extrudate flours with different peaks and final viscosity values. From the results obtained in this work, it is possible to design a product with specific physicochemical, functional and nutritional properties using the appropriate moisture and temperature during extrusion.     

Sulphated and carboxymethylated polysaccharides from Lycium barbarum L. leaves suppress the gelatinisation,retrogradation and digestibility of potato starch

Processing starch with polysaccharides promotes broader applications, and it is important to consider all possible structural interactions among the molecular ingredients. In this study, polysaccharides isolated from Lycium barbarum L. were chemically modified by sulphation (SLP) and carboxymethylation (CLP), and the effects on the gelatinisation, retrogradation, and digestibility properties of the potato starch were investigated. After chemical modification, the slope of the curve between the molar mass and molecular radius of polysaccharides decreased, revealing that the relatively rigid rod-like structure of native polysaccharide (0.78) changed to SLP's random linear chain (0.53) and CLP's spherical conformation (0.23), and the water solubility increased from 63.6% to 70.4% (SLP) and 84.1% (CLP) in distilled water at 25 °C. Moreover, testing polysaccharides as an additive indicated that both derivatives significantly decreased the peak viscosity, breakdown, and setback viscosity during potato starch pasting. Furthermore, the possible interactions could be further examined by structure analyses, suggesting the polysaccharide and SLP hydrogen bonds interacted with the surfaces of starch granules, while CLP penetrated the interiors of pasted starch granules, destroyed the helixes and backbone structure of starch, and formed type V crystallinity with amylose. The results of in vitro digestion analysis revealed that polysaccharides could decrease the amount of resistant starch and increase the amount of slowly digestible starch, which might be related to the inhibition of starch gelatinisation. These results facilitate the application of chemical derivatives in starch-based functional foods and understand the interaction mechanism between potato starch and polysaccharides.     

The influence of Cu(II) ions on physicochemical properties of potato starch oxidised by hydrogen peroxide

The study investigates the influence of Cu(II) ions used as a catalyst on the effectiveness of potato starch oxidation by hydrogen peroxide, and compares the physicochemical properties of the modified starches. The starch was oxidised by H₂O₂ alone and with the addition of Cu(II) ions at three concentrations: 0.1, 0.2 or 0.3 g per 100 g d.m. of starch. The oxidised starches were examined for the content of carboxyl groups, carbonyl groups, amylose and copper, and for water‐binding capacity and water solubility at temperatures of 60 and 80°C. Colour parameters (L*a*b*), susceptibility to retrogradation, thermodynamic characteristics of pasting, intrinsic viscosity and pasting characteristic by RVA were also determined. The results indicate that the concentration of Cu(II) ions added as a catalyst has an effect on both the effectiveness of the oxidation process and the physicochemical properties of starch.

Fat Mimicking Properties of Citric Acid Treated Sweet Potato Starch

Fat mimicking properties of citric acid treated sweet potato starch were investigated in this present study. Citric acid treated sweet potato starch was prepared by treating the native sweet potato starch with 3% citric acid for 6 h at a temperature of 45°C. Dextrose equivalent value of citric acid treated sweet potato starch was 2.05%. A significant increase in amylose content was noticed in citric acid treated sweet potato starch possibly due to the lyses of amylopectin fractions. The melting temperature of citric acid treated sweet potato starch was 51.44°C, which was close to the melting point of fat. Citric acid treated sweet potato starch exhibited superior water holding capacity and in vitro digestibility. Gel strength and enthalpy (?H) of citric acid treated sweet potato starch were comparatively lower than native sweet potato starch; correspondingly, citric acid treated sweet potato starch confirmed a low pasting profile. Native sweet potato starch and citric acid treated sweet potato starch exhibited a shear-thinning behavior. Acid treatment did not alter the granule size of native sweet potato starch (≈8 µm). Hence, this study concluded that citric acid treated sweet potato starch would be used as a potential fat replacer in food preparations due to its fat mimicking properties.     

Starch Properties of New Sweet Potato Lines Having Low Pasting Temperature

Some new sweet potato lines were developed from progenies of a new cultivar, Quick Sweet, having a low pasting temperature. Starch granules from these lines demonstrated an abnormal morphology characterized by cracking into fragments. Starch and amylose contents were different among these lines. Pasting temperatures of these lines determined by the Rapid Visco Analyser were 53.8 to 66.6°C, i.e. 10 to 20°C lower than that of the control. Peak viscosities of some lines were similar to that of the control. Starch retrogradation, evaluated by percentage of leaked water and hardness of starch gels after cold storage, revealed that the control starch retrograded during storage for two to six weeks, but the starches of some lines retrograded much more slowly than the control starch and exhibited excellent cold storage stability. The pasting temperature had significant positive correlations with the percentage of leaked water and the hardness. These results indicate that Quick Sweet is a useful breeding material for improving pasting and retrogradation properties in sweet potato starch.
