Pasting properties of gamma-irradiated rice starches as affected by pH.

Changes in the viscosity properties of gamma-irradiated rice starches (from 1 to 25% amylose content) from four genotypes (JY293, Jiayu 293; XS, Xiushui; ZF504, Zhefu 504; and ZXN, Zaoxiannuo) during pasting in water (pH 7) or in different pH solutions were studied using a rapid visco analyzer. Peak viscosity (PV) of all native rice starches was little affected at pH 4 and 10, while hot paste viscosity (HPV) and cool paste (final) viscosity (CPV) were generally lower at pH 4 and higher at pH 10 as compared with that at pH 7. The PV, HPV, and CPV of gamma-irradiated starches were higher at pH 4 and lower at pH 10 than pH 7. All viscosity characteristics of native rice starches were reduced in stronger alkali (pH 11.5) or acidic (pH 2.5) solutions. However, the gamma-irradiated starches were substantially higher at pH 2.5 but lower at pH 11.5, indicating that the effect of irradiation was highly pH dependent. The swelling volume of irradiated ZF504 and JY293 starch at all irradiation levels was higher at pH 4 than pH 7, while the values were lowest at pH 2.5. The irradiated ZXN and XS starches had higher swelling volumes at pH 4 and pH 2.5 than pH 7. Differential scanning calorimetry analysis showed that gamma-irradiation caused progressively lower gelatinization peak temperature (T(p)) and higher gelatinization range (T(r)) at pH 7. T(p) was higher and T(r) was lower at a much stronger acidic condition (pH 1) for both native and irradiated starches. The possibility of using viscosity changes in low pH for the detection of irradiated starch was discussed.     

Octenyl succinic anhydride modified early indica rice starches differing in amylose content

Seven early indica rice starches with different amylose contents were modified by octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) in aqueous suspension systems to evaluate the effect of amylose contents on starch esterification. The crystalline structure and pasting properties of starches were investigated using X-ray diffraction and a Rapid Visco Analyzer (RVA). The results indicated that the amylose content had a positive impact on the OSA modification. As the amylose content increased from 0 to 39.6%, the degree of substitution increased from 0.024 to 0.030 and the reaction efficiency increased from 62.8 to 77.5%. X-ray diffraction scans confirmed that the amylose was mainly present in the amorphous domain of the granule and was highly substituted after the OSA treatment. The RVA profiles demonstrated that the OSA starches had higher viscosities than their native counterparts. Moreover, negative correlations were observed between the amylose content and the major RVA parameters (e.g., peak viscosity, hot paste viscosity, cool paste viscosity, and breakdown viscosity).     

Modification of Starch by Dry Heating with Ionic Gums

Waxy maize (native and hydroxypropylated [HP]) and potato starches were impregnated with ionic gums (sodium alginate, CMC, and xanthan, 1% based on starch solids) and heat‐treated in a dry state for 0, 2, or 4 hr at 130°C. Effects of the dry heating on paste viscosity (RVA) and clarity (light transmittance) were examined. Heat treatment with sodium alginate and CMC raised the paste viscosities of native and HP waxy maize starches, but decreased that of potato starch. Xanthan provided the most substantial changes in paste viscosity among the tested gums. It appeared to heavily restrict granule swelling of the waxy maize starches, but it increased swelling of potato starch granules. Dry heating raised the paste viscosity of all the starch‐gum mixtures tested, except the potato starchalginate mixture. The final viscosity at 50°C of a 7% paste was raised in all other starches by ≈500–1,000 cP by this treatment. The paste of waxy maize starch‐gum products became opaque and shorter textured by the heat treatment, regardless of the gum type, whereas potato starch‐gum products did not show any obvious change in paste clarity. Ionic gums could behave as cross‐linking agents as well as form graft copolymers through heatinduced ester formation. This simple heating process with ionic gums could be used as a modification method for starch.     

Effect of Dry Heating on Physicochemical Properties of Pregelatinized Rice Starch

Japonica and indica rice starches (10% w/w) were pregelatinized in a boiling water bath for 5 or 10 min and subsequently heat‐treated in a dry state for 0, 1, 2, or 3 h at 130°C to examine the effects of dry heating on pasting viscosity, paste clarity, thermal properties, X‐ray diffraction pattern, and gel strength of pregelatinized starches. Heat treatment obviously changed the physicochemical properties of pregelatinized rice starch. The pregelatinized rice starches had higher peak viscosity and final viscosity than the corresponding native rice starches. Heat treatment of pregelatinized rice starch for 1 h increased the peak viscosity, but treatment for 2 or 3 h decreased the peak viscosity compared with the unheated pregelatinized rice starch. The indica rice starch exhibited more substantial changes in pasting viscosity than did japonica rice starch during heat treatment. The melting enthalpy of the endothermic peak occurred at 90–110°C, and the intensity of the X‐ray diffraction peak at 20° was increased by dry heating, possibly owing to the enhanced amylose‐lipid complexes. The dry heat treatment of pregelatinized starch caused an increase in paste clarity and a decrease in gel strength.     

Genetic Diversity in Physical Properties of Starch from a World Collection of Amaranthus

Physical and functional properties of starches isolated from 93 noncultivated genotypes of nine Amaranthus species from a world germ plasm collection and an additional 31 cultivated Amaranthus genotypes obtained from China were tested. A wide variation was found in the properties tested among the Amaranthus species and among genotypes within the same species. When comparing starches from cultivated and noncultivated genotypes, it was generally found that amylose was lower; starch pasting profiles were more consistent with higher peak viscosity, lower breakdown, and lower setback; the gelatinization temperature was lower; and energy of enthalpy was higher. Under cool storage, the hardness of cultivated starch pastes was lower and the adhesiveness was higher. As expected, amylose content was a primary factor affecting the physical and functional properties of Amaranthus starch. Compared with reference maize, rice, and wheat starches, Amaranthus starch tended to have lower hot paste viscosity and lower cool paste viscosity; and higher gelatinization temperatures and higher energy of enthalpy. Furthermore, Amaranthus starch pastes showed less change of gel hardness and adhesiveness after cold storage. The environmental effect on the different properties of starch varied among Amaranthus species. It is suggested that Amaranthus starches can be developed for a wide range of food uses.     

Effect of Steeping Treatment on Pasting and Thermal Properties of Sorghum Starches

Chemical treatments in wet milling could improve the physico‐chemical properties of starch isolated from high‐tannin sorghums. Sorghums Chirimaugute (medium‐tannin), DC‐75 (high‐tannin), and SV2 (tannin‐free) were steeped in water, dilute HCl (0.9%, v/v), formaldehyde (0.05%, v/v), and NaOH (0.3%, w/v) solutions before wet milling and starch separation. Pasting, textural, and thermal properties of starch were determined. Steeping in NaOH resulted in starches with higher peak viscosity (PV), cool paste viscosity (CPV), and setback than when water, HCl, and formaldehyde were used. The time to PV (P_time) and PV temperature (P_temp) were markedly reduced by treatment with NaOH. NaOH could have caused a degree of pregelatinization. HCl treatment gave starches with higher P_temp and P _time, presumably due to delayed granule swelling. Gel hardness was largely determined by the starch amylase content. The low hardness of DC‐75 starch gels was slightly improved in NaOH‐treated grains. Gelatinization temperatures of sorghum starches were generally low, regardless of steeping treatment. Starch from NaOH‐treated grain generally had slightly higher gelatinization temperatures than when water, HCl, or HCHO was used. Chemical treatments during steeping of sorghum grains greatly affected starch properties. Dilute alkali steeping during wet milling could be used to improve properties of starch isolated from tannin‐containing sorghums.     

Physicochemical Properties of Common and Tartary Buckwheat Starch

Physicochemical properties of starch of three common (Fagopyrum esculentum) and three tartary (F. tataricum) buckwheat varieties from Shanxi Province, China, were compared. Starch color, especially b*, differed greatly between tartary (7.99–9.57) and common (1.97–2.42) buckwheat, indicating that removal of yellow pigments from tartary buckwheat flour may be problematic during starch isolation. Starch swelling volume in water of reference wheat starch (2.8% solids and 92.5°C) was 20.1 mL; for the three common buckwheat starches it was 27.4–28.0 mL; and for the three tartary buckwheat starches it was 26.5–30.8 mL. Peak gelatinization temperature (T_p) in water was 63.7°C for wheat starch, 66.3–68.8°C for common buckwheat and 68.8–70.8°C for tartary buckwheat. T_p of all samples was similarly delayed (by 4.0–4.8°C) by 1% NaCl. Enthalpy of gelatinization (ΔH) was higher for all six buckwheat starches than it was for wheat starch. However, one common buckwheat sample had significantly lower ΔH than the others. Starch pasting profiles, measured by a Rapid Visco-Analyzer, were characteristic and similar for all six buckwheat starches, and very different from the reference wheat starch. A comparison of pasting characteristics of common and tartary buckwheat starches to wheat starch indicated similar peak viscosity, higher hot paste viscosity, higher cool paste viscosity, smaller effect of NaCl on peak viscosity, and higher resistance to shear thinning. Texture profile analysis of starch gels showed significantly greater hardness for all buckwheat samples when compared to wheat starch.     

Physicochemical and Pharmaceutical Properties of Carboxymethyl Rice Starches Modified from Native Starches with Different Amylose Content

Carboxymethyl rice starches (CMRS) were prepared from nine strains of native rice starches with amylose contents of 14.7–29.1%. The reaction was conducted at 50°C for 120 min using monochloroacetic acid as a reagent under alkaline conditions and 1-propanol as a solvent. After determining the degree of substitution (DS), the physicochemical properties including water solubility, pH, and viscosity of 1% (w/v) solution, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses of the granules, as well as some pharmaceutical properties of CMRS powders and pastes were investigated. The DS range was 0.25–0.40. All CMRS dissolved in unheated water and formed viscous gel. A good positive correlation was observed between amylose content and DS (r = 0.9278) but not viscosity. SEM and XRD concurrently revealed significant physical alteration of CMRS granules compared with those of native starches, which reflected the changes in the properties of CMRS. At 3% (w/w), CMRS can function as tablet binder in the wet granulation of both water-soluble and water-insoluble diluents. The tablets compressed from these granules showed good hardness with fewer capping problems compared with those prepared using the pregelatinized native rice starch as a binder. In addition, most CMRS pastes formed clear films with varying film characteristics, depending upon the amylose content of the native starches. This type of modified rice starch can potentially be employed as a tablet binder and film-former for pharmaceutical dosage formulations.     

Packing Characteristics of Starch Granules

The rheological properties of granular materials and dispersions of solid particles in fluids are dependent on the packing characteristics of the particles. Maximum packing fractions (Φ_m) have been measured for corn, wheat, rice, potato, and amaranth starches, in the dry state and dispersed in either ethanol or hexane, using a tapping method. The observed maximum packing fraction increases with tapping time to a constant value. Values measured for dry starches were lower than those measured in liquids and reflect the effects of granule shape and intergranular friction. Values measured in fluids for potato, corn, and wheat starches were all similar in magnitude, and in the range of values (0.58–0.63) for random loose packing and random close packing of monodisperse spheres. Values for amaranth and rice starches were significantly lower due to agglomeration and clumping of individual granules. Blends of corn and potato starches show a slight enhancement of packing, with some Φ_m values greater than potato starch, consistent with data for bimodal blends of spheres. Blends of rice and potato starches displayed enhanced packing above ideal mixing but did not exceed the packing fraction of the potato starch. Knowledge of starch packing fractions is required for fundamental understanding of the rheological properties of granular starch‐filled materials and important for predicting processing characteristics.     

Effects of Starch Isolation,Drying, and Grinding Techniques on Its Gelatinization and Retrogradation Properties

The effects of two different methods of starch isolation, drying, and grinding on gelatinization and retrogradation properties were investigated. Starch was isolated from whole wheat and flour of four hard red spring wheat cultivars. Portions of each starch isolate were freeze-dried or air-dried and portions of each dried starch were ground using a mortar and pestle or a Wiley Jr. mill. Less starch damage was obtained for freeze-dried starch regardless of isolation method or grinding technique and for all starches derived from whole wheat. Highest starch damage was obtained for air-dried starch isolates. Wiley-milled starch isolates showed higher water-binding. Whole wheat starch isolates had higher peak, lower trough, and lower final viscosities, as determined by starch paste viscosity analysis, than did starch isolates derived from flour. Major effects of all treatments on differential scanning calorimetry gelatinization properties showed lower onset temperature for flour starch isolates, lower peak temperature for freeze-dried starches, and no effects due to grinding. Endotherms of all starches after refrigerated storage and freezethaw cycling were lower than those for gelatinization.

Effects of Granular Structures on the Pasting Behaviors of Starches

Japonica (Tainung 67 [TNu67]) and waxy (Taichung 70 [TCW70]) rice, normal and waxy corn, and cross-linked waxy rice and corn starches were used in an investigation of the influence of the granular structure on the pasting behavior of starch, using small amplitude oscillatory rheometry. Both normal corn and normal rice (TNu67) starches had the highest storage moduli (G′), followed by their cross-linked versions; native waxy corn and rice starches had the lowest. Native waxy starches showed paste characteristics (G′ < 500 Pa; tan δ > 0.2) at concentrations of up to 35%. However, cross-linked waxy starches exhibited gel behavior at 10% concentration (cross-linked TCW70) or higher (cross-linked waxy corn starch). The degrees of swelling power were in the order: TCW70 > native waxy corn > TNu67 ≅ cross-linked TCW70 ≅ normal corn ≅ cross-linked waxy corn starches. Solubilities were in the order: normal corn > TNu67 > native waxy > cross-linked waxy starches. The addition of 2% purified amylose from indica rice (Kaohsiung Sen 7) did not induce gelation of waxy corn starch. Swelling powers of normal corn, TNu67, and crosslinked waxy starches were similar, but normal corn and TNu67 had much higher G′ value. Such results implied that the formation of gel structure was governed by the rigidity of swollen granules and that the hot-water soluble component could strengthen the elasticity of the starch gel or paste.     

Physicochemical Properties of Sonicated Mung Bean,Potato, and Rice Starches

Mung bean, potato, and rice starch solutions (5%, w/w) were sonicated for up to 5 min after heating, and their physicochemical properties were investigated. Alkaline viscosities, including the apparent and inherent viscosities of starches, decreased. The residues of the swollen starch granules after pasting and centrifugation were also reduced prominently by sonication. Average degree of polymerization did not change with sonication. The starch paste became more transparent, and the hot paste viscosity measured at 70°C decreased remarkably. Results indicate that changes in the physicochemical properties of starch were induced by the disruption of swollen granules rather than the breakage of glucosidic linkages with sonication.     

回生抗性淀粉种类对米淀粉凝胶形成的影响

为寻找改善普通米淀粉制品的结构及品质的新型食品添加剂,该文以普通米淀粉为原料,采用快速黏度分析仪、扫描电子显微镜、质构分析仪、全自动X射线衍射仪及示差扫描量热仪等手段,研究添加锥栗、马铃薯与绿豆回生抗性淀粉(retrograded resistant starch,RSⅢ)对米淀粉凝胶微观结构及理化性质的影响。结果表明:添加锥栗、马铃薯及绿豆RSⅢ对米淀粉凝胶的结构及性质产生显著影响(P0.01),以锥栗RSⅢ的作用最为突出。添加锥栗、马铃薯与绿豆RSⅢ对米淀粉糊的黏度特性没有影响(P0.05)。未添加RSⅢ的米淀粉凝胶存在很多不规则、深浅不一的大洞,而加入RSⅢ使米淀粉凝胶的网状结构变得更为规整、致密,且其胶着性与黏聚性变化不大(P0.05);添加锥栗、马铃薯与绿豆RSⅢ后能加速米淀粉凝胶的形成,与未添加RSⅢ的米淀粉凝胶比,其硬度分别增加了2.38、1.97和1.25倍(P0.01),黏着性分别增加2.56、1.99和1.32倍(P0.01),弹性增加1.07、0.81和0.53倍(P0.01)。米淀粉以A-型晶体占优,锥栗RSⅢ以V-型晶体占优,马铃薯与绿豆RSⅢ均以B-型晶体占优;不加或加入RSⅢ的米淀粉凝胶粉末都转变为以V-型晶体为主,且总相对结晶度没有改变(P0.05)。加入RSⅢ后的米淀粉糊除有低温吸热峰外还出现高温吸热峰,是否添加RSⅢ对低温吸热峰的温度参数影响不大(P0.05),但吸热焓显著降低(P0.01);而对于高温吸热峰,添加马铃薯与绿豆RSⅢ的各项参数没有差别(P0.05),但比添加锥栗RSⅢ的显著增高(P0.01)。可见添加不同来源的RSⅢ可以有效改善米淀粉凝胶的结构与品质。该研究结果为抗性淀粉用于提高米制品品质与营养功能的研究和生产提供了重要参考。

Effect of Ferulic Acid and Catechin on Sorghum and Maize Starch Pasting Properties

The effects of ferulic acid and catechin on starch pasting properties were studied as part of an investigation into the structure and functionality of phenolics in starch‐based products. Commercial maize starch, starches from sorghum cultivars (SV2, Chirimaugute, and DC‐75), and the phenolic compounds ferulic acid and catechin were used in the investigation. Pasting properties were measured using rapid viscosity analysis. Ferulic acid and catechin (up to 100 mg each) were added to maize or sorghum starch (3 g, 14% mb) in suspensions containing 10.32% dry solid content. Addition of catechin resulted in pink‐colored pastes, whereas ferulic acid had no effect on paste color. Ferulic acid and catechin decreased hot paste viscosity (HPV), final viscosity, and setback viscosity of maize and sorghum starch pastes, but had no influence on the peak viscosity (PV) of the former. Both phenolics increased breakdown viscosity. Ferulic acid had greater influence on HPV, final viscosity, breakdown, and setback than catechin. Addition of catechin under acidic conditions (pH 3) decreased HPV, final viscosity, and setback of maize starch, but alkaline conditions (pH 11) slightly increased setback. Both acidic and alkaline conditions resulted in increased breakdown. Investigations on model‐system interactions between ferulic acid or catechin and starch demonstrated that phenolic type and pH level both significantly influence starch pasting properties, with ferulic acid producing a more pronounced effect than catechin. The significance of these interactions is important, especially in food matrices where phenolics are to be added as functional food ingredients.

Structural and molecular basis of starch viscosity in hexaploid wheat

Wheat starch is considered to have a low paste viscosity relative to other starches. Consequently, wheat starch is not preferred for many applications as compared to other high paste viscosity starches. Increasing the viscosity of wheat starch is expected to increase the functionality of a range of wheat flour-based products in which the texture is an important aspect of consumer acceptance (e.g., pasta, and instant and yellow alkaline noodles). To understand the molecular basis of starch viscosity, we have undertaken a comprehensive structural and rheological analysis of starches from a genetically diverse set of wheat genotypes, which revealed significant variation in starch traits including starch granule protein content, starch-associated lipid content and composition, phosphate content, and the structures of the amylose and amylopectin fractions. Statistical analysis highlighted the association between amylopectin chains of 18-25 glucose residues and starch pasting properties. Principal component analysis also identified an association between monoesterified phosphate and starch pasting properties in wheat despite the low starch-phosphate level in wheat as compared to tuber starches. We also found a strong negative correlation between the phosphate ester content and the starch content in flour. Previously observed associations between internal starch granule fatty acids and the swelling peak time and pasting temperature have been confirmed. This study has highlighted a range of parameters associated with increased starch viscosity that could be used in prebreeding/breeding programs to modify wheat starch pasting properties.     

Viscoelasticity of Cowpea Starch Gels

The mechanical behavior of cowpea starch gels (10%, w/v) at small and large deformations were investigated in comparison with acorn, corn, and potato starches in storage at 4°C for seven days. The rapid viscograms of starch paste (7%, w/v) revealed that cowpea starch had a larger setback (1,135 cP) than other starches (465–830 cP), although peak viscosity (1,723 cP) and pasting temperature (76°C) were between those of corn and potato starches. Texture profile analysis of cowpea starch gel showed exceptionally higher values for hardness, gumminess, chewiness and initial modulus than other starch gels. Cowpea starch gel also exhibited higher G′ and smaller tan δ compared with other starch gels, regardless of the storage time. A creep test revealed that the cowpea starch gel could remain highly resistant to stress, showing the least deformation among the tested starch gels during storage up to seven days. The overall results disclosed that cowpea starch was capable of forming exceptionally strong and elastic gels with good storage stability.     

Effect of Amylose Content on Gelatinization,Retrogradation, and Pasting Properties of Starches from Waxy and Nonwaxy Wheat and Their F1 Seeds

We studied the effect of amylose content on the gelatinization, retrogradation, and pasting properties of starch using wheat starches differing in amylose content. Starches were isolated from waxy and nonwaxy wheat and reciprocal F1 seeds by crossing waxy and nonwaxy wheat. Mixing waxy and nonwaxy wheat starch produced a mixed starch with the same amylose content as F1 seeds for comparison. The amylose content of F1 seeds ranged between waxy and nonwaxy wheat. Nonwaxy‐waxy wheat had a higher amylose content than waxy‐nonwaxy wheat. Endothermic enthalpy and final gelatinization temperature measured by differential scanning calorimetry correlated negatively with amylose content. Gelatinization onset and peak temperature clearly differed between F1 and mixed starches with the same amylose content as F1 starches. Enthalpy for melting recrystallized starches correlated negatively with amylose content. Rapid Visco Analyser measurement showed that F1 starches had a higher peak viscosity than waxy and nonwaxy wheat starches. Mixed starches showed characteristic profiles with two low peaks. Setback and final viscosity correlated highly with amylose content. Some of gelatinization and pasting properties differed between F1 starches and mixed starches.
