Effect of water stress at different stages of grain development on the characteristics of starch and protein of different wheat varieties

The effect of water stress (WS) at 8 and 15 days post anthesis (DPA) on the characteristics of starch and protein separated from C-306, HD-2329, PBW-175, PBW-343 and NI-5439 wheat varieties was studied. WS-induced changes in A-, B- and C-type granules distribution were variety- and stage-dependent. A-type granules increased in response to WS at both stages in all varieties, the extent of increase being greater at 15 DPA. The proportion of B-type granules decreased in all the varieties, except C-306, in response to WS at 15 DPA. C-type granules also decreased in response to 15 DPA in all varieties, except HD-2329. The starch from wheat exposed to WS at 15 DPA showed lower amylose content, lipids content and pasting temperature, and higher peak viscosity, final viscosity and setback. DSC analysis of starches showed two endotherms (associated with the melting of crystallites and amylose–lipid [AML] complexes) during heating, and an exotherm (associated with reforming of AML) during cooling. Transition temperatures (T_o, T_p and T_c) of AML dissociation and association were lower for starch from wheat exposed to WS, the effect being more at 15 DPA. The changes in pasting and thermal properties of starch caused by WS were observed to be related to lipids, amylose content and distribution of granules. The effect of WS on accumulation of different dimethyl formamide-soluble and insoluble proteins was significant and variety dependent.     

Relationship of polymeric proteins with pasting,gel dynamic- and dough empirical-rheology in different Indian wheat varieties

The protein characteristics of flours from fifteen Indian wheat varieties were studied and related to pasting, gel viscoelasticity and dough properties. The analysis of polymeric proteins showed glutenins, gliadin and glutenin to gliadin ratio ranged between 28.14 and 40.44%, 45.33 and 55.83% and 0.50 and 0.89, respectively. Paste breakdown was low in flours with higher protein content. Viscoelastic properties of flour gels from different varieties showed significant variation and were dependent more on protein than amylose content. The gelation behavior of cooked pastes measured during cooling and holding at 10 °C was explained by an equation. Dynamic moduli of gels were positively correlated with total protein content and negatively correlated to the percentage of unextractable polymeric protein (UPP). Dough strength was positively related to UPP and glutenin content.     

蛋白组分对籼米粉糊化特性的影响机理探讨

通过逐一去除蛋白组分的方法研究了蛋白组分对籼米粉糊化特性的影响,并分析了影响这些变化的蛋白结构基础。RVA和DSC分析结果表明,不同组分的蛋白在去除之后,峰值粘度、热糊粘度和最终粘度均有不同程度的升高,崩解值、回生值及糊化温度均有不同程度的降低。SDS-PAGE和显微结构分析表明,各组分对糊化特性的影响机理应有差异:谷蛋白通过与纤维素类物质的紧密结合,在糊化过程中阻碍淀粉粒的溶胀;醇溶蛋白可能是通过蛋白体自身的溶胀与淀粉相互作用而影响;清、球蛋白通过活性蛋白对籼米成分的水解或合成等改变而影响;淀粉粒结合蛋白则可能对籼米的基础糊化特性影响较大。与分离重组法比较,逐一去除蛋白组分的方法因为蛋白组分之间的相互作用影响较大,对糊化特性的影响与分离重组法略有差异。     

Physicochemical Characteristics of Starch Component of Wheat Flours Obtained from Fourteen Iranian Wheat Cultivars

In this study, the differences in the physicochemical properties of starch component of fourteen Iranian wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum L.) in terms of thermal, pasting and gel properties were studied. Positive correlations between the apparent amylose content and the gelatinization temperature (r = 0.8) and also the gel strength (r = 0.7) of different samples were established. There was no correlation between the amylose content and pasting properties. Moreover a positive relationship between the peak and final viscosities of different wheat flours (r = 0.8) was found. It was concluded that well selection of wheat cultivars is critical for production of high quality products. For this reason, all factors influencing the quality of wheat or flour should be studied carefully. Commonly yield, weight, protein content and quality have been mentioned as quality factors, however as this study indicated, the physicochemical properties of starch should also be considered as a quality criterion.     

Effects of Extrusion Process Variables on Quality Properties of Wheat-Ginseng Extrudates

The present study investigated the effects of extrusion process variables (feed moisture, screw speed, and barrel temperature) on the physical [expansion ratio, water absorption index (WAI), and water solubility index (WSI)], pasting, and thermal properties of wheat-ginseng extrudates (WGE). A wheat flour-ginseng powder (GP) blend (10% GP, w/w) was extruded in a twin-screw extruder (L/D ratio of 25:1) with full factorial combinations of feed moisture (25, 30, and 35%), screw speed (200 and 300 rpm), and zone 5 barrel temperature (110, 120, 130, and 140°C). The expansion ratios of WGE were significantly increased with decreasing feed moisture, decreasing screw speed, and increasing barrel temperature. Increasing feed moisture significantly increased WAI values of WGE and significantly decreased WSI values of WGE. However, an increase in either screw speed or barrel temperature caused a significant decrease in WAI values of WGE and a significant increase in WSI values of WGE. Rapid visco analyzer peak viscosity values of WGE were significantly affected by changes in extrusion process variables studied, indicating that the degree of starch degradation and/or gelatinization in WGE is a very important factor associated with their peak viscosity. WAI values of WGE were positively correlated (r = 0.88, p ≤ 0.001) with peak viscosity values of WGE samples, whereas WSI values of WGE samples were negatively correlated (r = 0.82, p ≤ 0.001). Increasing feed moisture resulted in an increase in values of transition peak temperature (T_p) of WGE, whereas increasing screw speed and barrel temperature each led to a decrease in T_p values of WGE, determined by differential scanning calorimetry.

RVA study of mixtures of wheat flour and potato starches with different phosphorus contents

A rapid visco analysis (RVA) system was used to study the pasting properties of mixtures of wheat flour and potato starches with high phosphorus (HPS), medium phosphorus (MPS) and low phosphorus (LPS) contents, different granule sizes and different amylose contents. The peak viscosities, trough and breakdown, final viscosities, setback viscosities and peak times of control potato starches were found to be higher than those of wheat flour. The peak viscosities were increased significantly with increase of potato starches in the mixtures. Thus, the peak times decreased with increase of potato starch in the mixtures. The breakdown viscosities increased significantly with increase of potato starches in the mixtures and the values were found to be higher in HPS-wheat, followed by MPS-wheat and LPS-wheat mixtures. The final viscosities of HPS-wheat mixtures were highest, followed by MPS-wheat and LPS-wheat mixtures. The setback viscosities of LPS-wheat were significantly higher than those of MPS-wheat and HPS-wheat mixtures at 30 to 50% potato.

Correlation between the compositional and pasting properties of various potato starches

Multiple linear regression equations were used to develop the correlation between the compositional and rapid visco-analysis (RVA) pasting properties of various potato starches. The amylose of potato starches had a negative correlation with the peak viscosity (PV) and breakdown (BD) and a positive correlation with the setback viscosity (SV) and peak viscosity temperature (PVT). By contrast, phosphorus had a positive correlation with PV, BD, and SV and a negative correlation with PVT. In addition, the median granule size had a positive correlation with PV and BD. By contrast, a negative correlation of the median granule size was observed with SV and PVT. The correlation coefficients of amylose–phosphorus, amylose–granule size, and phosphorus–granule size interactions indicated that amylose had more influence than had phosphorus or had the median granule size on PV and BD. Furthermore, amylose had a greater influence than had the granule size on SV and PVT. Similarly, amylose had more influence than had phosphorus or had the median granule size on PVT. However, the correlation developed in this study was useful for predicting the influence of a specific component and the compositional interaction on the RVA pasting properties.
