槲皮素对挤压大米淀粉结构及功能特性的影响

为改善挤压大米淀粉的功能特性,以米粉（rice, R）为主要原料,探究了不同槲皮素（quercetin, Q）添加量（0 ～ 10%）在挤压场下对米粉中淀粉的水溶性、吸水性、糊化特性等功能特性的影响。在此基础上,借助扫描电子显微镜（scanning electron microscopy）、X-射线衍射、红外光谱、及紫外可见光分光光度计揭示了Q在挤压场下对淀粉结构的演变规律。试验结果表明：当Q添加量为4%时,样品的吸水指数,碘结合能力均达到了最大值,且自由水弛豫时间提前;挤压体系中Q与淀粉通过氢键结合,颗粒结构变得更加立体、紧凑。与挤压米粉相比,槲皮素的添加延缓了淀粉的回生且提高了淀粉的热稳定性。根据以上结果可知,挤压体系中Q与大米淀粉复合,促进了淀粉分子链重排,进而改变淀粉的结构及功能特性,该研究可为开发抗回生的挤压大米淀粉基产品提供理论依据。     

抑制玉米淀粉回生的面粉蛋白酶解液筛选

为防止玉米淀粉食品会因回生而降低品质,该文利用酸性、中性和碱性3种蛋白酶水解小麦面粉中的球蛋白、谷蛋白和醇溶蛋白,研究酶解物中混合多肽对玉米淀粉回生的影响。研究结果表明,酸性蛋白酶水解谷蛋白所得多肽混合液能强烈抑制玉米淀粉回生,使玉米淀粉回生率由14.0%降低到8.0%。其他2种水解物促进玉米淀粉回生,促进最多的是碱性蛋白酶水解醇溶蛋白,使玉米淀粉回生率由14.0%升高到19.5%。通过红外和核磁分析了混合多肽抑制或促进玉米淀粉回生的可能机理。研究成果为控制淀粉回生提供一条全新的途径。     

含醇溶蛋白小麦回生抗性直支链淀粉性质分析

为研究含醇溶蛋白小麦回生抗性直支链淀粉性质,该文采用醇溶法从小麦粉中提取醇溶蛋白,采用回生-酶解法分离得到小麦直、支链淀粉。通过可见光谱、红外光谱、X-射线衍射、差热扫描等方法分析研究醇溶蛋白对小麦直、支链淀粉回生的影响。结果表明,在凝胶化及回生过程中醇溶蛋白与淀粉相互作用,导致淀粉回生率增加。红外光谱研究表明,直链淀粉与醇溶蛋白在高压糊化后干燥或回生的条件下,醇溶蛋白的酰胺Ⅱ键伸缩振动从1 546 cm~(-1)降低至1 539 cm~(-1),即直链淀粉与醇溶蛋白通过氢键结合。X-射线衍射图谱显示在2θ衍射角为17°,19°,22°等的衍射峰没有发生明显变化,表明添加醇溶蛋白后,直、支链淀粉的晶型未发生明显改变。DSC结果显示直链淀粉与醇溶蛋白之间的氢键是在共同回生过程中产生的,样品中多晶结构和双螺旋结构共存。研究结果表明,淀粉中空间位阻小的6位碳原子上的羟基与醇溶蛋白中的脯氨酸和谷氨酰胺通过氢键结合,这种类型的氢键阻碍了α淀粉酶对淀粉的解离,即醇溶蛋白通过与淀粉形成新型氢键而促进了淀粉的回生。该研究提供了一种提高小麦淀粉的回生率的新技术,为进一步深入研究醇溶蛋白促进淀粉回生的机理提供理论支撑。

拔节期追氮对春播和秋播糯玉米淀粉胶凝和回生特性的影响

以垦粘1号、苏玉糯1号和苏玉糯5号为材料,研究了拔节期追氮量(N 01、50和300 kg/hm2)对春播和秋播糯玉米淀粉胶凝和回生特性的影响,试验于扬州大学实验农牧场进行。结果看出,播期、品种和拔节期追氮量单因素及其互作对淀粉胶凝和回生主要特征值存在显著影响。糯玉米淀粉胶凝和回生特征值在拔节期追氮150 kg/hm2时和秋播条件下较优,即原淀粉具有较低的峰值温度、较高的热焓值,回生淀粉具有较低的回生值,且以垦粘1号表现较好。糯玉米淀粉胶凝和回生特征值之间存在一定的相关性。回生值分别与回生淀粉的热焓值、原淀粉的终值温度显著正相关,相关系数分别为0.82(P0.01)和0.47(P0.05);原淀粉的热焓值与峰值指数显著正相关,相关系数为0.53(P0.05),与原淀粉峰值温度、回生淀粉的终值温度显著负相关,相关系数分别为-0.53(P0.05)和-0.52(P0.05);回生淀粉的热焓值分别与回生淀粉起始温度、终值指数显著正相关,相关系数分别为0.46(P0.05)和0.66(P0.01)。综合考虑淀粉胶凝和回生特性在不同处理下的变化趋势,以秋播糯玉米淀粉在拔节期追N 150 kg/hm2处理下较优。     

栖热菌4-α-糖基转移酶对马铃薯淀粉的改性作用

该文将栖热菌4-α-糖基转移酶（TSαGT）作用于马铃薯淀粉,分别利用理化分析、质构TPA分析及酶解分析等方法研究该酶对淀粉糊化、凝胶特性和消化性的影响。结果表明,TSαGT可以显著降低马铃薯淀粉中直链淀粉质量分数,使从初始的21%降低至15%,从而使淀粉糊冻融稳定性得以提高、糊透明度得到改善;对酶处理马铃薯淀粉凝胶的研究结果显示,TSαGT对淀粉的改性存在最适作用条件,控制0.024～0.06?U/g的酶用量作用30?min可以明显改善淀粉凝胶质构特性,使凝胶硬度降低,而弹性、咀嚼性、黏结性和胶着性得到不同程度的提高;进一步的消化试验结果表明,使用0.024?U/g以下的酶用量作用30?min,马铃薯淀粉的抗消化性得到提高,继续加大酶量则使抗消化性下降。因此,应用TSαGT对马铃薯淀粉改性处理,控制合适的酶作用程度可以显著提高马铃薯淀粉糊及凝胶的应用特性,同时增加其抗消化性。     

减少玉米粗淀粉挤出物中抗性淀粉的工艺参数优化

为减少玉米粗淀粉经过挤压蒸煮后,在室温下冷却而产生的抗性淀粉Ⅲ,以降低其对挤出物制备糖化液葡萄糖当量值的影响,需要对挤压参数进行优化选择。该文以玉米粗淀粉为原料,采用五因素五水平二次正交旋转组合试验设计,研究挤压参数对挤出物中抗性淀粉Ⅲ质量分数的影响,得出产生抗性淀粉Ⅲ质量分数最小的挤压条件为：套筒温度60.0℃,原料含水率27.0%,模孔直径11.0 mm,螺杆转速200.0 r/min,轴头间隙10.0 mm,抗性淀粉Ⅲ质量分数可降低到1.48%。     

缓释肥施用时期对春播鲜食糯玉米产量和籽粒品质的影响

为探明缓释肥施用时期对鲜食糯玉米产量和籽粒品质的影响,本研究以苏玉糯11号为材料,在等量施肥条件下,以常规施肥方式(N15CK,基施复合肥+六叶期追施尿素)和不施肥为对照,研究缓释肥于播种期(SN15-0)、三叶期(SN15-3)和六叶期(SN15-6)一次性施用对鲜食糯玉米鲜果穗和鲜籽粒产量,籽粒淀粉和蛋白质含量、碘结合力、热力学特性和糊化特性的影响。结果表明,缓释肥处理的鲜果穗产量和鲜籽粒产量显著高于常规肥处理,且SN15-6和SN15-3的鲜果穗产量分别比SN15-0提高14.0%和7.4%,鲜籽粒产量提高14.6%和2.0%。SN15-6的籽粒中淀粉、可溶性糖和蛋白质含量均显著高于其他处理。缓释肥延后施用使淀粉粒径变小,SN15-6与N15CK的淀粉碘结合力和最大吸收波长显著高于其他处理。与不施肥相比,施肥提高了籽粒淀粉的糊化温度和胶凝温度(起始温度、峰值温度和终值温度),降低了回生热焓值和回生值。其中SN15-3的峰值黏度、谷值黏度、崩解值和终值黏度最高,而SN15-6的回复值、回生热焓值和回生值最低。综上,缓释肥适当延后施用有利于提高鲜食糯玉米产量,增加籽粒中蛋白质、淀粉、可溶性糖含量,降低淀粉平均粒径;另外,三叶期施用可显著提高籽粒糊化黏度,六叶期施用使籽粒回生值显著降低。本研究结果可为春播鲜食糯玉米绿色高产优质轻简栽培提供理论依据与技术支撑。     

Partial Characterization of Buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) Starch

Laboratory-isolated buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) starch was compared to commercial corn and wheat starches. Buckwheat starch granules (2.9–9.3 μm) were round and polygonal with some holes and pits on the surface. Buckwheat starch had higher amylose content, waterbinding capacity, and peak viscosity, and it had lower intrinsic viscosity when compared with corn and wheat starches. Buckwheat starch also showed restricted swelling power at 85–95°C and lower solubility in water at 55–95°C and was more susceptible to acid and enzymatic attack. Gelatinization temperatures, determined by differential scanning calorimetry, were 61.1–80.1°C for buckwheat starch compared to 64.7–79.2°C and 57.1–73.5°C for corn and wheat starches, respectively. A second endotherm observed at 84.5°C was an amylose-lipid complex attributed to the internal lipids in buckwheat starch, as evidenced by selective extraction. The retrogradation of buckwheat, corn, and wheat starch gels was examined after storage at 25, 4, and -12°C for 1–15 days. In general, buckwheat starch retrogradation was slower than that of corn and wheat starch, but it increased as storage time increased, as did that of the other starch pastes. When the values of the three storage temperatures were averaged for each storage period analyzed, buckwheat starch gels showed a lower percentage of retrogradation than did corn and wheat starch gels. Buckwheat starch also had a lower percentage of water syneresis when stored at 4°C for 3–10 days and had better stability to syneresis after three freeze-thaw cycles at -12 and 25°C.     

Freeze-Thaw Stability of Amaranth Starch and the Effects of Salt and Sugars

Freeze-thaw stability of amaranth, corn, wheat, and rice starches was determined measuring the percent of syneresis by centrifugation. Thermal properties were calculated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The effects of salt (NaCl at 2 and 5%) and sugars (sucrose, glucose, and fructose at 10, 20, and 30%) on the freeze-thaw stability of amaranth starch were also studied. Based on DSC and centrifugation methods, amaranth starch had better stability after freezing and thawing through four cycles than did corn, wheat, and rice starches. Amaranth starch with added salt showed similar stability as compared with a control when measured by centrifugation and showed increased stability when measured by DSC. Adding sugars to amaranth starch gels had varying results, but for the most part, they showed similar or increased stability when compared with a control.     

基于岭脊分析的藜麦淀粉提取及糊化特性研究

为优化藜麦淀粉碱法提取工艺,以藜麦为试验材料,采用岭脊分析法研究料液比、NaOH 质量分数和浸提时间对淀粉提取率的影响,并对藜麦淀粉的颗粒形貌、化学结构及淀粉糊化特性进行研究。结果表明,碱法提取藜麦淀粉的优化工艺参数为料液比1：5 g/mL、NaOH质量分数0.2%和浸提时间5.5 h,淀粉提取率为98.94%±0.26%;藜麦淀粉为限制性膨胀淀粉,形态多呈不规则形,具有-OH、-CH2、-CHO、C-O-C和吡喃环典型淀粉分子官能团;随静置时间增加,淀粉透光率降低,凝沉体积增加,12 h后基本稳定;藜麦淀粉糊第四次冻融循环后达到稳定状态;对淀粉凝胶质构特性分析,硬度、内聚性、弹性、胶黏性和咀嚼性5个指标都随藜麦淀粉糊浓度增加而增大;流变性分析表明藜麦淀粉糊为假塑性流体,其弹性优于黏性。该文系统研究藜麦淀粉提取工艺和糊化特性,拓展了新的淀粉资源,同时也为藜麦淀粉的生产和应用提供一定的借鉴和参考。     

Understanding the Physicochemical and Functional Properties of Wheat Starch in Various Foods

This report highlights the structure and myriad properties of wheat starch in various food systems. Granule shape, size, and color, plus the proportion of A‐ and B‐granules, amylose content, and molecular structure largely determine its functionality in food. The role of wheat starch is portrayed in three categories of flour‐based foods that differ in water content. Wheat starch influences the appearance, cooking characteristics, eating quality, and texture of pasta and noodles, and its role is more than a filler in yeast‐leavened bread products. Recent developments in the properties and applications of commercially important wheat pyrodextrins and RS4‐type resistant wheat starches are reported, along with their use to produce fiber‐fortified foods. Gluten‐free foods are also discussed.     

Water dynamics and retrogradation of ultrahigh pressurized wheat starch

The water dynamics and retrogradation kinetics behavior of gelatinized wheat starch by either ultrahigh pressure (UHP) processing or heat are investigated. Wheat starch completely gelatinized in the condition of 90, 000 psi at 25 degrees C for 30 min (pressurized gel) or 100 degrees C for 30 min (heated gel). The physical properties of the wheat starches were characterized in terms of proton relaxation times (T2 times) measured using time-domain nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and evaluated using commercially available continuous distribution modeling software. Different T2 distributions in both micro- and millisecond ranges between pressurized and heated wheat starch gels suggest distinctively different water dynamics between pressurized and heated wheat starch gels. Smaller water self-diffusion coefficients were observed for pressurized wheat starch gels and are indicative of more restricted translational proton mobility than is observed with heated wheat starch gels. The physical characteristics associated with changes taking place during retrogradation were evaluated using melting curves obtained with differential scanning calorimetry. Less retrogradation was observed in pressurized wheat starch, and it may be related to a smaller quantity of freezable water in pressurized wheat starch. Starches comprise a major constituent of many foods proposed for commercial potential using UHP, and the present results furnish insight into the effect of UHP on starch gelatinization and the mechanism of retrogradation during storage.     

Starch Characteristics of Waxy and Nonwaxy Tetraploid (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum) Wheats

Manufacture of pasta products is paramount for durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum). The recent development of waxy durum wheat containing starch with essentially 100% amylopectin may provide new food processing applications and present opportunities for value‐added crop production. This investigation was conducted to determine differences in some chemical and functional properties of waxy durum starch. Starch was isolated from two waxy endosperm lines and four nonwaxy cultivars of durum wheat. One of the waxy lines (WX‐1) was a full waxy durum wheat whereas the other line (WX‐0) was heterogeneous, producing both waxy and nonwaxy seed. Effects on starch swelling, solubility, pasting, gelatinization, and retrogradation were examined. The full waxy starch had four times more swelling power than the nonwaxy durum starches at 95°C, and was also more soluble at three of the four temperatures used. Starch pasting occurred earlier and peak viscosities were greater for starches from both waxy lines than for the nonwaxy starches, but their slurries were less stable with continued stirring and heating. Greater energy was required to melt gelatinized waxy starch gels, but no differences were found in either refrigerated storage or freeze‐thaw retrogradation, as determined by differential scanning calorimetry. The results of this investigation showed some significant differences in the starch properties of the waxy durum wheat lines compared to the nonwaxy durum wheats.     

Effects of Ice Structuring Proteins on Freeze‐Thaw Stability of Corn and Wheat Starch Gels

The effect of ice structuring proteins (ISP, 0.5%, starch weight basis) on the freeze‐thaw stability of corn and wheat starch gels (CS and WS, respectively) was studied. Syneresis measurement, hardness, thermal properties using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X‐ray diffractions, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were determined with starch gels (SG) subjected up to nine freeze‐thaw cycles (FTC). The gelatinized SG were stored at –20°C for 22 hr and thawed at 30°C for 2 hr. As the number of FTC increased, syneresis was increased; however, ISP significantly (P < 0.05) reduced the syneresis for all FTC except at FTC 1. Hardness was increased up to FTC 4, then decreased for both SG. ISP significantly lowered the hardness of both SG. The ice melting enthalpy (ΔH_{ice sample}) of SG increased as FTC increased but SG with ISP had significantly lower enthalpy. The retrogradation ratio (RR) from DSC was significantly increased as the number of FTC increased. ISP reduced RR but most of RR was not significantly different for the corresponding FTC. The X‐ray diffraction patterns showed less recrystallization of WS with addition of ISP. The microstructures from SEM showed that the addition of ISP reduced the size of ice cell cavities.     

The Potential of Hull-less Barley

Hull-less barley (HB) has been investigated in many countries for use in feed, food, and industry since the publication of the last review in 1986. Literature published since 1990 on various aspects of HB utilization, other than in monogastric feeds, has been reviewed. Several HB cultivars containing low or β-glucan, low or high extract viscosity, and waxy (0–5% amylose) or normal starch are now available. Interest in HB utilization in the food industry developed largely due to its high β-glucan content, particularly in the waxy cultivars. β-Glucan is a major component of soluble fiber implicated in hypocholesterolemia, hypoglycemia, and in reducing incidence of chemically induced colon cancer in experimental animals. However, large-scale clinical trials using human subjects are needed to corroborate these effects. The zero amylose HB starch had low syneresis or a high freeze-thaw stability suitable for use in frozen foods. Single- or double-modified waxy HB starch may replace corn starch in some food applications, and cationized HB starch can replace corn and potato starches in the pulp and paper industry. HB may be milled using conventional wheat milling equipment to yield bran and flour for multiple food uses. Hull-less barley may also be used as a feed stock for fuel alcohol production, for the preparation of food malt with low or high enzyme activities, and for brewer's and distiller's malts.     

Effect of Source and Proportion of Waxy Starches on Pasta Cooking Quality

Starches from the endosperm of three types of total‐waxy cereals (bread wheat, maize, and barley) were used in reconstitution studies of durum wheat semolinas to investigate the effect of waxy starch on pasta cooking quality. The chemical composition and the pasting and gelatinization properties of the starches used in this study were evaluated to define the functional properties of each waxy starch. The rheological properties of dough semolinas were evaluated by small‐scale mixograph. Spaghetti was prepared using a small‐scale pasta extruder and its cooking quality was assessed using a texture analyzer. Cooked pasta firmness, resilience, and stickiness were measured. The substitution of semolina starch with waxy starches from different sources changed the functional properties of dough and their pasta quality. A decrease in firmness was detected in all the semolinas reconstituted with waxy starches. An increase in stickiness was found when semolinas with waxy starch from wheat were evaluated. No improvement in pasta quality should be expected if the waxy character is introduced in durum wheat.     

冻结-高压湿热解冻对多种淀粉中支链淀粉断裂的影响

冻结和高压湿热解冻是含淀粉面团在食品加工过程的必要工艺,在此过程中淀粉球破裂、部分支链淀粉断裂成为直链淀粉,给面团和食品的物理性状控制带来许多不可预见的结果。该文通过研究加热时间、加热温度、冷冻时间和解冻时间对糊化后的小麦、甘薯、马铃薯和玉米淀粉中直链淀粉含量的影响,间接反映支链淀粉断裂情况,结合冻结解冻前后淀粉分子量分布、链长分布、光学和电子显微镜图谱提出了冻结-解冻过程不同淀粉中支链淀粉可能断裂方式。结果表明,4种淀粉中的直链淀粉含量先升高后下降,直链淀粉含量在4种淀粉的中达到峰值的时间分别为48,48,48,72 h。光学显微照片观察表明,冻融处理会导致更多凝胶化淀粉球的破裂。对于小麦支链淀粉,冻融解冻过程支链淀粉中侧链长度为5、6、7个葡萄糖残基的侧链对应3种可能的断裂方式:2+2+1、2+2+2及2+2+2+1;对于甘薯支链淀粉,支链淀粉中侧链长度为10、11和13个葡萄糖残基的侧链对应3种可能的断裂方式:3+3+4、2+2+3+4及2+2+2+3+4;对于马铃薯支链淀粉,支链淀粉中侧链长度为5和6个葡萄糖残基的侧链对应3种可能的断裂方式:2+3、2+4、3+3;而玉米支链淀粉中,支链淀粉中侧链长度为7、8、9个葡萄糖残基的侧链对应3种可能的断裂方式:2+5,3+5,和3+3+3(其中1表示1个葡萄糖;2表示含2个葡萄糖的麦芽糖、3表示含3个葡萄糖的麦芽多糖、4表示含4个葡萄糖的麦芽多糖和5表示含5个葡萄糖的麦芽多糖)。该论文结果为培育具有冻融稳定性的淀粉种子提供一种全新的思路,即通过基因方法控制植物减少容易断裂淀粉侧链的合成。
