稻米中蛋白质对淀粉RVA特征谱的影响

通过分析蛋白酶或还原剂二巯基苏糖醇（DTT）分别去除稻米蛋白质或打破蛋白质二硫键后,稻米RVA（Rapid Visco Analyzer）特征谱形成和特征值的变化,研究蛋白质对淀粉RVA特征谱的影响,以及对米饭食味品质的作用。在淀粉糊化过程中,蛋白质使RVA特征谱的峰值黏度、冷胶黏度等值升高,改变RVA线性上升段的斜率。蛋白质可能通过二硫键结合形成的蛋白质网络本身和通过吸水减少淀粉水合的有效水量,协同提高糊化多相体系的浓度,增强分散相与黏稠相的互作。蛋白质影响米饭食味品质,可能通过改变米粒的吸水性而起作用。     

The Rapid Visco Analyzer (RVA) as a tool for differentiating potato cultivars on the basis of flour pasting properties

Potatoes of two cultivars representing extremes in potato texture, Russet Burbank (mealy) and IdaRose (waxy), were lyophilized, ground into flour, and analyzed with a Rapid Visco Analyzer (RVA) to identify flour pasting characteristics unique to each cultivar. A factorial experiment, which included multiple levels of heating rate, peak temperature, and flour concentration, was employed to assess RVA run parameter association with flour pasting behaviors and the potential to differentiate cultivars according to the responses. Pasting profiles of the potato flour provided a unique functional finger-print for each cultivar flour, which embodies structural and molecular components of the native potato tissue. Pasting profile viscosity attributes were influenced by variable levels of heating rate, peak temperature, and flour concentration. At increasing flour concentrations, RVA viscosity attributes increased in magnitude, but possessed similar pasting curves. A variable heating rate primarily affected events occurring early within the pasting profile (time to gelatinization, time to peak viscosity, peak viscosity), while changes in peak temperature influenced viscosity attributes (trough viscosity, breakdown, final viscosity, total setback) associated with the latter portion of the viscosity curve. A high peak temperature generally resulted in increased breakdown and total setback and decreased trough and final viscosities. RVA viscosity attributes, time to gelatinization, peak viscosity, breakdown, and final viscosity were identified as potential characteristics for cultivar differentiation. Discrimination of the cultivar extremes was affected by RVA run parameters, and was maximized at moderate heating rates (4 to 6 C min^-1), moderate to high levels of peak temperature (85 to 90 C), and intermediate flour concentrations.     

Inheritance of flour paste viscosity is associated with a rice Waxy gene exon 10 SNP marker

Apparent amylose content is a key element for characterizing a rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivar for cooking quality. However, cultivars with similar apparent amylose content can have widely varying quality attributes, including major parameters of flour paste viscosity. It has been postulated that the presence of a rice Waxy gene single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) marker is associated with elevated Rapid Visco Analyser (RVA) properties in specific high amylose rice cultivars. A mapping population derived from a cross between two varieties, Cocodrie and Dixiebelle, having similar high apparent amylose contents, but with different paste viscosity properties and Waxy gene markers was analyzed for the genetic segregation of various pasting properties, measured with RVA instrumentation. Marker inheritance analyses revealed that the Waxy exon 10 SNP marker was associated with the proportion of soluble to insoluble apparent amylose and most RVA pasting measurements. Waxy gene markers can be used to efficiently improve the selection of rice with desirable characteristics, particularly for superior parboiling and canning quality.     

蛋白质影响水稻米饭食味品质的机理

 以杂交中籼丰两优1号组合为材料,设置不同的播期和收获期,分析稻米主要品质指标(直链淀粉、总蛋白含量、RVA特征值等)和米饭食味品质,并用二硫苏糖醇 (DTT)或蛋白酶(Trypsin)分别打破样品蛋白质二硫键或酶解蛋白质后,观察RVA特征谱和膨胀势的变化,旨在明确蛋白质对不同食味品质样品RVA的影响,进而探索蛋白质影响米饭食味品质的机理。结果表明,第3播期(6月13日)稻米品质主要指标（直链淀粉、总蛋白、膨胀势、RVA特征值）与第4播期（6月23日）样品差异不显著,但食味品质明显好于后者;分别经蛋白酶处理后,第3和第4播期样品RVA上升段斜率差异不显著,但前者后段冷却后回升斜率明显小于第4播期。由于影响RVA特征谱后段凝胶刚性的主要因素是淀粉与水之比,刚性随淀粉凝胶中含水量减少而提高,食味品质较好的第3播期米粉经蛋白酶处理后,凝胶刚性小且减弱程度大,这可能是蛋白质酶解后形成蛋白质碎片的持水能力弱,即淀粉与水之比低,由此推测蛋白质影响米饭食味品质可能在米饭蒸煮后阶段,即可能与蛋白质水合后持水能力差异有关。     

Protein-starch matrix microstructure during rice flour pastes formation

Scanned electron microscopy results revealed that the ability of forming a hair-like network (protein-starch matrix) as well as its rigidity constitutes to the conveying of the net pasting viscosities of flour. The formation of such network contributed to protecting starch granules integrity, resulted in increasing the resistance of rice paste to shear and thus increasing rice flour paste viscosity. Results also suggest that protein structural integrity and the nature of starch-protein bonding affected rice flour pasting mechanism formation.     

Effects of prolamin on the textural and pasting properties of rice flour and starch

Prolamin is a major class of rice proteins but its influence on the physicochemical properties of rice is not clear. Rapid Visco Analyser (RVA) and TA-XT2 TPA textural analyses were performed on rice starch with the addition of prolamin extracted from three rice cultivars (Hitomebore, M103 and Amaroo), and on rice flour with the prolamin removed by propan-2-ol extraction. Addition of prolamin to rice starch was found to cause a significant (P<0.05) increase in RVA breakdown viscosity but significant (P<0.05) decreases in hardness, adhesiveness and gumminess of the starch gel. Similarly, when prolamin was removed from rice flour, exactly the opposite effect was observed. Addition of prolamin to rice starch also caused it to absorb water faster during cooking but the gelatinised starch absorbed less water compared with control samples without prolamin.     

The Null-4A Allele at the Waxy Locus in Durum Wheat affects Pasta Cooking Quality

Granule-bound starch synthase, also known as the waxy protein catalyses the synthesis of amylose in wheat endosperm starch. In durum wheats, the genes encoding GBSS are present at the two Wx loci on chromosome 7A and 4A (a segment of 7B that has been translocated). Several null Wx-B1 (missing GBSS protein from chromosome 4A) durum lines were produced from crosses with null-4A bread wheats backcrossed to durum wheats. Semolina milled from 4 normal and 7 null-4A durum wheat lines grown over two seasons (1999 and 2000) in South Australia were analysed for amylose content, starch pasting properties as measured by the Rapid Viscoanalyzer (RVA), swelling power and starch damage, protein content and electrophoretic protein analysis. Spaghetti was prepared with a micro-scale extruder and the cooked pasta evaluated for cooking loss, firmness, stickiness and water absorption. The null-4A lines had significantly lower (ca. 5%) amylose content, higher starch peak viscosities and semolina swelling power. The pasta derived from the null-4A lines had lower cooking loss and in 1999 was more adhesive than the non-waxy lines. Cooking loss was correlated with amylose content, peak starch viscosity, swelling power of semolina and cooked pasta adhesiveness. Semolina swelling power was highly correlated with RVA peak viscosity. Waxy durum wheats appear to have an advantage over the normal types in terms of lower cooking loss, widely used as an indicator of pasta cooking quality.

Effects of glutelin and globulin on the physicochemical properties of rice starch and flour

The effect of two rice endosperm proteins, glutelin and globulin, on the physicochemical properties of rice starch and flour was investigated. Albumin, globulin, prolamin and glutelin were sequentially extracted from defatted rice flour with de-ionised water, 1.5 M NaCl, propan-2-ol and 0.1 M NaOH, respectively, followed by dialysis and lyophilisation. Globulin and glutelin were then added to pure rice starch at various concentrations, separately and together, and the pasting and textural properties of mixtures were analysed by the Rapid Visco Analyser (RVA) and TA-XT2 textural analyser, respectively. The presence of glutelin in rice starch caused an increase in pasting temperature but a decrease in the viscosity parameters of the starch paste. The concentration of glutelin was also positively correlated with the hardness and adhesive properties of the starch gel. The presence of globulin, on the other hand, resulted in a decrease in all the pasting and textural parameters except gel hardness and the changes were linearly correlated with the concentration of the protein for most of the physical parameters. When the two proteins were added to rice starch together, the outcomes in pasting and textural properties were generally dependent upon the relative concentrations of the two proteins, but were also influenced by the presence of the other two protein fractions, albumin and prolamin. The presence of globulin initially accelerated the rate of water absorption by starch during cooking while the presence of glutelin slowed it down, but in both cases, the ultimate amount of water absorbed was significantly lower than that by pure starch. The contrasting effects of the different protein fractions mean that it might be possible to manipulate the textural properties of rice starch and flour to achieve desirable sensory outcomes by varying the proportions of the protein fractions in product formulations.     

Cultivar and processing effects on the pasting characteristics,tannin content and protein quality and digestibility of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata)

Four popular West African local cultivars of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), with distinctly different seed coat colors, were evaluated for their relative amylograph pasting characteristics, condensed tannin content, in vitro protein digestibility and Tetrahymena protein efficiency ratio (t-PER). The effects of roasting and dehulling on these properties were also determined. There were wide variations in the hot paste viscosity characteristics of the different cultivars studied. The raw cowpea flour samples exhibited maximum paste viscosities ranging between 260 Brabender Units (BU) for the Mottled cultivar and 460 BU for the cream-colored Blackeye cultivar. Cowpea cultivars with the greatest peak viscosities showed low stabilities to extended cooking. Roasting depressed paste viscosity properties of all the cowpea cultivars studied. Tannin concentrations were 0.3–6.9 and 7.2–116 mg CE/g flour from whole cowpea seeds and seed coats respectively, increasing with intensity of seed color. Although dehulling removed 98% of the tannin content of raw cowpeas, improvement in protein quality as a result of dehulling was observed for only the highly-pigmented Maroon-red variety. Roasting significantly improved digestibility and more than doubled the t-PER of all cowpea cultivars studied. Roasted cowpeas possess adequate nutritional and functional qualities as protein supplements in cereal-based weaning foods. However, it appears that dehulling is necessary to enhance the nutritional quality of the highly pigmented cultivars of cowpea.     

Effect of Stewing in Cooking Step on Textural and Morphological Properties of Cooked Rice

Stewing of rice grains by steam after boiling in excess water can be used for cooking rice perfectly. The effects of this procedure in cooking of three varieties of Iranian rice (Sang Tarom, Domsiyah and Fajr) on textural and morphological properties of cooked rice grains were investigated. The results showed that this step in rice cooking reduced the hardness and increased the adhesiveness of rice grains significantly. By the use of the scanning electron microscopy, it was shown that the outer surface of cooked rice stewed by steam had less porosity and closer pores due to the modification during cooking, and better gelatinization and more expansion of starch granules compared to non-stewed samples. The use of this procedure in rice cooking to provide a fully cooked and gelatinized, softer and stickier final product is recommended.

Dough rheological properties and noodle-making performance of non-waxy and waxy whole-wheat flour blends

Dough rheological properties and noodle-making performance of non-waxy whole-wheat flour (WWF) with partial- or full-waxy (PW- or FW-) WWF substitution were studied. The substitution levels were 0, 250, 500, 750, and 1000 g/kg, respectively. FW-WWF reduced the peak viscosity and pasting temperature of WWF blends as its substitution level was increased due to its higher proportions of B-type starch granules and short amylopectin chains, while PW-WWF increased peak viscosity with the increasing substitution level because of its higher amylopectin content. As demonstrated by farinograph and rheometer measurements, FW-WWF interfered with gluten development because of the increased competition for water by arabinoxylans and amylopectin; however, PW-WWF enhanced dough strength due primarily to its increased protein content. Consequently, FW-WWF showed a detrimental effect on cooked noodle texture as the cooked noodle hardness was reduced by 50% at the 1000 g/kg substitution level. In contrast, PW-WWF enhanced noodle integrity and elasticity by increasing cooked noodle cohesiveness and resilience by 10.1% and 14.8%, respectively, at the 1000 g/kg substitution level. The results suggest that with waxy WWF substitution, the changes in starch composition, arabinoxylans, and protein content could modify the interactions among flour components and influence the quality characteristics of noodle products.     

Effects of Preharvest Sprouting on Flour Pasting Viscosity in Common Buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench)

Abstract

Rain before harvest often causes buckwheat to sprout. Preharvest sprouting reduces the processing suitability of buckwheat flour. We examined the effects of preharvest sprouting on buckwheat flour quality by rapid visco-analysis (RVA) of milled sprouting grains of six buckwheat cultivars. Both artificial and natural rainfall increased the frequency of sprouting and decreased pasting viscosity. The difference in pasting viscosity between sprouting and non-sprouting buckwheat grains was not decreased by adding wheat flour. These results suggest that the mechanical characteristics of dough and boiled noodle may be affected by flour made from sprouting grains. Differing responses of the cultivars to rainfall indicate that higher pasting viscosity could be achieved by using cultivars that are resistant to preharvest sprouting caused by rain.

Effect of repeated heating and cooling cycles on the pasting properties of starch

The properties of starch and starch–lipid pastes have been explored using a novel extended Rapid Visco Analyser (RVA) profile, in which the heating and cooling cycles are repeated five times. Starches from four wheat varieties with amylose content ranging from 23 to 27%, and waxy starches of wheat, rice and maize were tested, alone and in mixtures with lauric acid and monopalmitin (glyceryl-1-monopalmitin). Gels of all of the starches formed and melted reproducibly during repeated heating and cooling in the RVA. The addition of lauric acid to the waxy starches had no effect on the multiple RVA profile. Monopalmitin caused an increase in viscosity during the heating stage of the second to the fifth cycles with the waxy starches, which was attributed to the presence of monopalmitin aggregates. Changes in the multiple cycle viscosity traces observed when monopalmitin or lauric acid was added to the amylose-containing starches were complex. It was concluded that RVA paste viscosities were determined by starch–lipid interactions, as well as by free lipid in the starch mixtures. The water solubility of the lipid and association of proteins with starch granules influence these interactions.     

Starch digestibility and the estimated glycemic score of different types of rice differing in amylose contents

Three types of rice cultivars (indica, japonica and hybrid rice) with four levels of amylose were selected for assessing variability in starch digestibility. A vitro enzymatic starch digestion method was applied to estimate the glycemic index in vivo based on the kinetics of starch hydrolysis in vitro. The results indicated that significant differences in term of glycemic response were observed in three types of rice. Amylose content had an obviously impact on the estimated glycemic score (EGS) value and resistant starch (RS) content. The contents of RS were increased with the increasing amylose in the same type of rice. Japonica rice was significantly lower in RS content compared to indica rice and hybrid rice with similar amylose. The high amylose rice cultivar ZF201, which was characterized by low major RVA parameters, i.e. peak viscosity (PKV), hot paste viscosity (HPV) and cool paste viscosity (CPV), were obviously higher in RS content and lower in EGS. The retrogradation of cooked rice led to a reduction of HI and EGS of all varieties. Starch hydrolysis tends to be more quick and complete for the waxy and low amylose rice than for the intermediate and high amylose rice.     

氮肥追施量对香稻1601品质和淀粉RVA谱特征值的影响

以自育品系香稻1601为材料,研究不同氮肥追施量对其品质和淀粉RVA谱特征值的影响,为探明氮肥施用量与香稻品质关系提供数据支撑。试验结果表明:随着氮肥追施量的增加,稻米蛋白质含量增加,食味品质下降趋势,淀粉RVA谱曲线整体下降,峰值黏度、热浆黏度、冷胶黏度均呈下降趋势,崩解值和消减值先升高后降低,糊化温度和峰值时间无显著差异。相关分析表明,峰值黏度和冷胶黏度与大米蛋白质含量极显著负相关,相关系数-0.889和-0.843,与食味值存在极显著或显著正相关,相关系数0.896和0.763。     

煮饭水质结合加水量和浸泡时间对粳稻食味的影响

以津川1号和津原E28为材料,采用自来水和纯净水煮饭,通过米饭感官评价和质地测定,明确水质对其食味的影响,同时研究这种影响是否与煮饭时的加水量和浸泡时间有关。结果表明,随加水量的增加,米饭外观、饭香、味道和综合评价感官得分先增大后减小,米水质量比为1:1.50时上述指标得分最高,食味最好;米水质量比在1:1.25~1.50范围内,用纯净水蒸煮的米饭的味道和粘度感官得分要高于用自来水蒸煮的米饭。随煮饭加水量的增加,米饭的硬度下降、粘度增加,与感官评价结果一致。随大米浸泡时间延长,米饭外观、味道、粘度和综合评价感官得分先增加后减小,浸泡1.0 h,上述指标得分最高,食味最好。浸泡时间延长会降低米饭的饭香。在浸泡时间15.0 h内,与用自来水浸泡后蒸煮相比,用纯净水浸泡后蒸煮的米饭食味感官综合评价更高。综上,对津川1号和津原E28而言,米水质量比为1:1.50,浸泡1.0 h,使用纯净水煮饭可以获得更好的食味。     

The effect of reducing agent DTT on pasting,hydration and microstructure properties of foxtail millet

Protein-protein crosslinks, especially disulfide bonds, widely exist and influence the quality of cereal-based food. In order to investigate the effect of disulfide bonds on pasting properties of foxtail millet, ten typical varieties were selected and separated into three groups according to their eating quality, and then reducing agent dithiothreitol (DTT) was used to disrupt disulfide bonds. Disulfide and sulfhydryl groups’ variations, pasting, and hydration properties were determined. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) were also used to analyze the microstructure of foxtail millet paste. Results showed that foxtail millet with poor eating quality was more prone to form disulfide bond linkage at a higher rate and degree during cooking. Disrupting disulfide bonds increased peak viscosity, breakdown, water absorption, and swelling power of granules. Meanwhile, pasting temperature, setback, and final viscosity decreased significantly. The larger size of swollen starch granules and breakage of protein networks were found under CLSM, and firmer lamellar structures with less connections and pores were illustrated under SEM in DTT-treated paste. After DTT-treatment, disulfide bonds were believed to restrict hydration and pasting properties of foxtail millet, and strengthen the swollen granules and paste rigidity as well as a high level of starch reassociation.
