Supplementing white maize masa with anthocyanins: Effects on masa rheology and on the in vitro digestibility and hardness of tortillas

The aim of this work was to supplement masa made from nixtamalized white maize flour (NWMF) with anthocyanins (0.0, 0.03, 0.06 and 0.12 g/100 g of masa), and to evaluate the effects on the rheological properties of the masa and on color, staling, in vitro digestibility, and hardness of tortillas. Tortilla baking reduced the content of anthocyanins by about 10%. The color parameters of the tortillas added with anthocyanins was similar to that of tortillas made with blue maize. Attenuated total reflection ATR-FTIR spectra showed that the 1022/1047 peak ratio increased, indicative that retrogradation increased with storage time, but the ratio was significantly lower for tortillas with added anthocyanins than without them, and lower for higher anthocyanins concentration. Freshly made tortillas added with anthocyanins exhibited lower ready digestible (about 35%) and slowly digestible (about 20%), but higher resistant (about 45%) starch fractions. Tortillas with 0.12 g of anthocyanins showed significantly lower hardness than the control tortillas (without added anthocyanins). Both previous mentioned effects can be associated with retrogradation, which on turn could be linked to anthocyanins-starch complexes and inhibition of amylolytic enzymes.     

小麦淀粉颗粒蛋白-1突变体挖掘及其相关农艺性状和品质特点的分析

小麦淀粉颗粒蛋-1(starch granule protein 1,即SGP-1)突变体是选育高直链淀粉含量、高抗性淀粉小麦品种的重要基础材料。SGP-1突变缺失,使胚乳中支链淀粉侧链的延伸受阻,从而使胚乳表观直链淀粉含量相对升高,所制食品的抗性淀粉含量也相应提高,具有重要的保健意义。本研究主要是利用SDS-PAGE方法,检测307份国内外农家种、育成种、高代品系及国内外黑小麦材料的SGP-1(SGP-A1、SGP-B1和SGP-D1)蛋白组成,进而发掘SGP-1突变体;并对突变体材料进行相关农艺性状和品质性状特点的分析,为育种利用及品质改良提供参考。结果共检测到4份SGP-1突变体,均为冬性材料,其中国外材料3份(CH62444、EAP74961和Amigo)、高代品系1份(05黑初8),分别为SGP-A1单缺体,SGPA1和-D1双缺体,SGP-A1和-B1双缺体,以及SGP-A1单缺体。在主要农艺性状方面,EAP74961、05黑初8和Amigo抽穗期与石4185(CK)相近,而CH62444则抽穗较晚,并且3份国外材料植株均较高。这4份突变体材料麸皮中的非水溶性戊聚糖含量相对于水溶性戊聚糖占绝对优势,而胚乳中非水溶性戊聚糖含量与水溶性戊聚糖含量则较为接近,但CH62444、Amigo和05黑初8麸皮中的总戊聚糖含量较高(分别为14.33%,15.20%和12.91%),而EAP74961面粉中的总戊聚糖含量(1.34%)较高。在淀粉组分含量方面,4份突变体材料差异不大。     

Changes in the properties of rice varieties with different amylose content on dry heat parboiling

Dry heat parboiling is a unique paddy processing technique that has been scarcely exploited. Dry heat parboiling at high temperature for short time and low temperature for long time on physical and physicochemical properties of three rice varieties differing in amylose content were studied. Hardness of the kernels increased from 66.4 N, 68.8 N and 59.8 N in raw samples to 89.1 N, 86.9 N and 59.8 N in parboiled high amylose, low amylose and waxy rice samples respectively. Rapid migration and evaporation of water from severely heated kernels caused cavity formation at the centre. Irreversible damage of amylopectin structures to leachable fractions caused continuous rise of the pasting curve. Crystallinity was thereby reduced. Parboiled high amylose samples gave X-ray diffraction patterns with peaks characteristic of A, B and V-type starch crystallinity. Crystalline starch-lipid complexes were observed in low amylose and waxy rices. The significant increase in the amount of rapidly digestible starch from 56.7%, 61.7% and 66.6% in raw samples to 92.1%, 90.8% and 94.8% respectively in severely processed rice samples and subsequent reduction in resistant starch from 24.5%, 21.2% and 18.4% to 0.4%, 1.9% and 0.1% indicated possibilities for targeted food use of the dry heat parboiled samples.     

花后不同强度遮光对糯小麦和非糯小麦淀粉组分和理化特性的影响

花后弱光影响小麦淀粉分子积累和结构形成,进而使面粉的加工品质和食用品质变劣。本研究以非糯小麦轮选987和糯小麦农大糯50206为材料,设置3个花后遮光处理(不遮光、遮光30%和遮光60%),研究了花后不同强度遮光对小麦籽粒中淀粉组分及其理化特性的影响。结果表明,花后弱光胁迫使小麦籽粒中总淀粉含量减少,A-型淀粉粒比例增加,淀粉相对结晶度增大。花后光照强度降低,轮选987淀粉的峰值黏度、谷值黏度、最终黏度、稀澥值和反弹值增大,而农大糯50206淀粉的上述参数则呈减小趋势。轮选987淀粉的起始温度、峰值温度和终止温度随弱光胁迫的增强而降低,而糊化焓呈增加趋势;相反,农大糯50206淀粉的上述热力学特征参数呈降低趋势。相关性分析表明,直链淀粉含量、直/支比、A-型淀粉粒体积比例与相对结晶度、峰值黏度、谷值黏度、稀澥值、糊化时间和糊化焓呈显著负相关,与最终黏度和反弹值存在极显著正相关。可见,小麦花后光照强度降低影响籽粒淀粉组分和粒度分布,从而改变了淀粉的晶体、糊化和热力学特性。     

三个不同品质类型冬小麦品种籽粒淀粉积累动态及其有关酶的活性变化

在池栽条件下，研究了3个不同品质类型冬小麦品种藁麦8901（强筋）、豫麦49（中筋）和洛麦1号（弱筋）籽粒灌浆过程中淀粉及其组分积累动态和与之有关的酶活性变化。结果表明，3个品种籽粒灌浆过程中支链淀粉的合成均与直链淀粉的合成同时进行，灌浆中后期支链淀粉的合成比直链淀粉的合成快。豫麦49籽粒中直链、支链和总淀粉积累速率均高于其它两品种。3个品种籽粒中腺苷二磷酸葡萄糖焦磷酸化酶（AGPP）、尿苷二磷酸葡萄糖焦磷酸化酶（UGPP）、可溶性淀粉合成酶（SSS）、淀粉粒结合的淀粉合成酶（GBSS）、淀粉分支酶（SBE）活性变化均呈单峰曲线。豫麦49在灌浆期上述各酶活性变化的峰值均高于其他两品种，且大部分酶类在灌浆中后期仍维持较高活性。可见，与藁麦8901和洛麦1号相比，豫麦49具有较强的淀粉合成能力。     

松土促根剂对土壤质地、冬小麦产量和淀粉糊化特性的影响

为了解决近年来华北地区麦田因多年旋耕导致土壤耕层过浅、土壤质地变差、小麦根系发育不良以及小麦产量品质降低等问题,在平衡配方施肥的基础上,通过田间试验研究了Agri-star松土促根剂对土壤质地及小麦产量和淀粉糊化特性的影响。结果表明,施用松土促根剂和土壤深耕处理均可起到降低土壤容重,增加单位体积小麦根系质量,改善土壤理化性状的作用。此外,施用松土促根剂能够提高冬小麦成穗数和穗粒数,进而起到提高小麦籽粒产量的效果,其中以1号松土促根剂+配方肥处理籽粒产量最高,平均达7 925 kg/hm2,较单施配方肥处理增产12.9%。研究还发现,施用配方肥、添加松土促根剂或者进行土壤深耕处理能够改善小麦籽粒淀粉品质,同样也以1号松土促根剂+配方肥处理效果最好。综合比较分析,在当前华北地区免耕、旋耕麦田,应用Agri-star松土促根剂可以改善土壤质地,提高小麦产量和改善小麦籽粒淀粉品质,具有广阔的应用前景。     

水稻淀粉合成代谢相关基因与千粒重QTLs的连锁分析

稻米淀粉的合成和积累是水稻千粒重形成的重要基础之一。在水稻千粒重QTLs定位分析基础上，对本研究克隆的14个水稻胚乳淀粉合成与积累相关基因及已报道的和预测的42个相关基因进行了电子定位分析，比较水稻淀粉合成代谢相关基因与千粒重QTLs的连锁关系。发现有38个基因位点与千粒重QTLs连锁，说明千粒重形成与胚乳淀粉积累与淀粉结构形成代谢密切相关。本研究结果将为进一步研究水稻产量形成的分子机理提供参考。     

春小麦籽粒灌浆过程淀粉和蛋白质积累规律的初步研究

利用蛋白质含量和产量各异的３个春小麦品种，Ｒｏｂｌｉｎ、东农７７４２和新克旱９号，研究了灌浆过程中可溶性性糖、淀粉和蛋白质积累规律，结果表明：籽粒灌浆过程中可溶性糖含量由开花１４天开始逐渐减少，成熟期达最低值，品种间的差异仅表现以１４天和２０天两个时期：淀粉积累动态与可溶性糖变化规律相反，随灌浆成熟而逐渐增加，品种间差异达显著水平；蛋白质积累动态年际间稍有差异，总的趋势是随灌浆成熟而逐渐增加，开花     

氮磷钾肥施用量对稻米直链淀粉含量和淀粉粘滞特性的影响

通过盆栽和大田试验,研究了N、P、K肥对稻米直链淀粉含量和淀粉粘滞特性的影响。结果表明,N肥施用量增加,直链淀粉含量、最高粘度和崩解值下降,消碱值和回复值上升。增施P肥对直链淀粉含量影响不明显,对最高粘度、崩解值、消碱值和回复值影响效用,供试品种间变化趋势存在差异。K肥施用量增加,各品种均表现出直链淀粉含量、最高粘度、崩解值上升趋势,消碱值和回复值呈下降趋势。对NPK肥,不同品种反应程度不同,品种与N、P、K之间,N、P、K三者之间都存在互作效用。减少N肥用量,适量增施K肥有利于稻米食味品质的提高。
