Structural properties of chemically modified Chinese yam starches and their films

Modified yam starch and dual-modified yam starch were produced with propylene oxide, sodium trimetaphosphate and sodium tripolyphosphate. Gelatinization temperature and final viscosity of native yam starch were 79.2 ± 0.4°C and 5702 ± 3 cP. Results showed that the molar substitution and degree of substitution were increased with the volume fraction of propylene oxide from 6–12%, the highest of molar substitution and degree of substitution were 0.0445 ± 0.0003 and 0.0065 ± 0.0006, the final viscosity and setback of dual-modified yam starch were also similar. However, the gelatinization parameters showed an inverse trend. Starch modified with a mixture of sodium trimetaphosphate and sodium tripolyphosphate had higher phosphorus content and increased viscosity compared to starch modified with sodium trimetaphosphate. The peak viscosity of starch modified with propylene oxide was higher than that of native yam starch and the highest was HP12. The granular surface of modified yam starch and dual-modified yam starch appeared significantly embossed and indented, while. Modified yam starch film treated with 12% propylene oxide showed a more homogeneous fractured surface. The tensile strength and elongation at break (E) of starch films were affected by crosslinking reagents and propylene oxide, respectively. The best transparence and E were demonstrated in starch film that was modified with 12% propylene oxide. However, the best tensile strength was demonstrated in starch film that was modified with 8% propylene oxide, sodium trimetaphosphate, and sodium tripolyphosphate. The final viscosity of HP6C1 and HP6C2 was 27 ± 7 and 45 ± 9 cP, which was too low to form film.     

不同蒸煮方式下不同链长脂肪酸对板栗淀粉特性的影响

Microalgae biomass interaction in biopolymer gelled systems

Microalgae are an enormous biological resource, representing one of the most promising sources for the development of new food products and applications. Pea protein/κ-carrageenan/starch gels, interesting vegetarian alternatives to dairy desserts, served as model systems to study the addition of microalgal biomass, its effect, and subsequent rheological behaviour. Spirulina and Haematococcus gels presented a markedly different rheological behaviour compared to the control mixed biopolymer gelled system. The present goal is to clarify how these microalgae affect the gelation and interact with each biopolymer present in the complex mixed gel system. Hence, the aim of the present work is to study the effect of Spirulina and Haematococcus microalgal biomass addition on the rheological behaviour of pea protein, κ-carrageenan and starch simple gels, as well as in pea protein/κ-carrageenan and pea protein/starch systems. The gelation process was monitored in-situ through dynamic oscillatory measurements (temperature, time and frequency sweep tests) for a 24 h maturation period, and rheological results were supported with fluorescence optical microscopy observations. The addition of Spirulina and Haematococcus to biopolymer gelled systems induced significant changes in the gels’ rheological behaviour and microstructure. In general, it was observed that the gelling mechanism is ruled by the biopolymers, while microalgae seem to be embedded in the gel network acting as active particle fillers. The addition of Haematococcus resulted in more structured gels in comparison to the control and Spirulina systems. In the case of κ-carrageenan gels, both microalgae induced a large increase in the rheological parameters, which should be related to the high ionic content of microalgal biomass. Spirulina addition on starch systems promoted a decrease in the gels’ rheological parameters. This should be related to the starch gelatinization process, probably by competing for water binding zones during the granules’ hydration process.     

α-Amylolysis of native potato and corn starches - SEM, AFM, nitrogen and iodine sorption investigations

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), as well as iodine and nitrogen sorption measurements were applied to investigate potato and corn starch granules surface after an action of Bacillus subtilis α-amylase. The SEM images revealed holes and pits (corn starch) or scratches (potato starch) on the surface of modified granules. These results were confirmed by AFM investigation which showed the presence of depressions of approximately 121 nm in diameter. Structure of the surface was not uniform. It consisted of small particles, amylopectin blocklets, of approximately 20 nm in diameter. They became more distinctive after α-amylolysis. Values of iodine binding capacity (IBC) obtained for hydrolyzed granules were lower than for native ones which indicated that the amylose and amylopectin chains building their surface were shortened. Specific surface area, volume and average diameter of mesopores increased for both starches after α-amylolysis.     

Comparative analysis of starch properties of different root and tuber crops of Sri Lanka

The physicochemical properties of starches of six different root and tuber crop species grown mainly in Sri Lanka showed significant differences among the tested crop species and varieties. The median granule size of starch of tested root and tuber crop species varied from 33.5 to 10.2 μm. The largest granule size and the highest blue value were given by the canna, Buthsarana, and yam species, in that order. The amylose content of cassava was higher than those of sweet potato and many yams. High peak viscosities, high breakdown, and high final viscosities were observed in yams, and, generally, such starch showed a high swelling power. According to the correlation analysis, these pasting properties would mainly be due to their larger starch granule size. Based on the thermal properties, cassava starch showed less energy requirement for gelatinization and thus gelatinized at lower temperatures. Furthermore, a higher susceptibility of raw cassava starch toward fungal glucoamylase was observed. The low enzyme digestibility of raw yam starch would be due to its large granules. Correlation analysis showed that the blue value and starch granule size were important in determining the pasting, thermal, and other properties of starch.
