种植密度对小麦籽粒淀粉含量和晶体特性的影响

为探究种植密度对小麦籽粒淀粉品质的调控效应,以2个小麦品种(轮选987和济麦22)为材料,分析了3个不同种植密度(150、300、450万株·hm-2)下小麦籽粒淀粉含量和晶体特性。结果表明,种植密度影响小麦籽粒淀粉的积累和组成。随种植密度的增大,直链淀粉含量呈先降后升的趋势,而支链淀粉和总淀粉含量表现为先升后降。淀粉晶体呈典型的A型特征,且不受种植密度影响。种植密度明显影响淀粉颗粒内部的结晶程度,表现为随种植密度的增大,相对结晶度先升后降。同时,种植密度改变了淀粉X-衍射图谱中各峰的精细位置和相对强度,说明种植密度对淀粉颗粒内部结晶区的晶胞结构或微晶排列也存在一定影响。淀粉的相对结晶度与直链淀粉含量呈负相关,与支链淀粉含量呈正相关。     

不同直链淀粉含量小麦淀粉理化性质与消化特性研究

为深入理解小麦直链淀粉含量与淀粉理化性质及消化特性之间的关系,以4份直链淀粉含量差异较大的小麦品种为材料,分析了其淀粉理化性质以及消化特性方面的差异。结果表明,随着直链淀粉含量的增加,回生值呈增加趋势;在体外消化前期,4个小麦品种的淀粉消化速率差异显著,西农836最慢,陕糯1号最快。这种差异与直链淀粉含量及回生值密切相关,说明直链淀粉比支链淀粉更易于回生,糊化后的冷却过程中更容易发生分子间部分重排和再结晶,重新组装成有序的聚集体,导致供试材料之间快速消化淀粉含量及总体消化程度不同。直链淀粉含量高的品种具有更多的B型小淀粉粒,但是大量B型小淀粉粒的存在并没有导致淀粉消化速率以及淀粉总体消化程度的提高,说明淀粉充分糊化后,粒度的差异并不改变淀粉消化特性。     

脂肪酸对小麦淀粉糊化特性及热特性的影响

为了解脂肪酸对小麦淀粉糊化特性和热特性的影响,在小麦淀粉中分别添加月桂酸、肉豆蔻酸、棕榈酸、硬脂酸,采用快速黏度分析仪(RVA)、X-射线衍射仪(XRD)、差示扫描量热仪(DSC)对淀粉-脂质复合物糊化特性、晶体结构和热特性进行分析。结果表明,小麦淀粉与四种饱和脂肪酸所形成的复合物的晶体结构均为V型晶型。加入脂肪酸后小麦淀粉的峰值黏度、热浆黏度和崩解值降低,而最终黏度和回生值升高,起始糊化温度(To)、峰值糊化温度(Tp)、终点糊化温度(Tc)略降,而糊化焓值(ΔH)则显著下降。综合来看,添加脂肪酸对小麦淀粉的糊化特性和热特性有显著影响,其中月桂酸对小麦淀粉糊化特性及热特性的影响最显著。     

施氮量对糯小麦和非糯小麦籽粒淀粉组分与理化特性的影响

为探明氮肥对小麦籽粒淀粉组分和理化特性的影响,采用田间试验,分析了4个施氮量(0、100、200、300kg·hm~(-2))对糯小麦(农大糯50222)和非糯小麦(轮选987)籽粒淀粉组分与理化特性的影响。结果表明,随施氮量的增加,小麦籽粒淀粉含量降低,轮选987籽粒中B型淀粉粒的数目占比增加,而农大糯50222籽粒的B型淀粉粒数目占比呈减少趋势;增施氮肥能显著提高小麦籽粒淀粉的峰值黏度和谷值黏度。相同施氮量处理下,轮选987淀粉的被测糊化特征参数(除谷值黏度外)均大于农大糯50222。施氮量不同,2个品种籽粒淀粉X-衍射图谱中各峰的位置和相对强度明显不同。随施氮量的增加,轮选987淀粉的相对结晶度增大,而农大糯50222淀粉的相对结晶度减小。相关分析表明,小麦籽粒的直链淀粉含量和直支比与最终黏度、稀澥值、反弹值、糊化温度和峰值时间呈显著正相关,与谷值黏度和相对结晶度呈显著负相关;支链淀粉含量反之。小麦籽粒的B型淀粉粒数目占比与峰值黏度、稀澥值呈显著负相关。综上所述,施氮量可影响小麦籽粒的淀粉含量和粒度分布,进而改变其糊化特性和晶体特征。     

淀粉 脂类复合物对蓝色小麦淀粉流变性的影响

为了解淀粉脂类复合物对南阳彩色小麦淀粉糊流变特性的影响,利用黏度分析仪测定了月桂酸、豆蔻酸、棕榈酸和硬脂酸与小麦淀粉结合形成复合物后淀粉糊的流变特性。结果表明,分别将1.0%、2.0%和3.0%的脂肪酸添加到蓝色小麦淀粉中,在95℃下分别蒸煮5、10和15 min,复合指数随蒸煮时间的延长和脂肪酸用量的增加而提高,随脂肪酸碳链的增加而降低;黏度系数随复合物的增加而增加,而流变指数则随复合物的增加而降低;在四种脂肪酸中,月桂酸与淀粉形成复合物的能力最强,对小麦淀粉的流变特性影响最大;添加月桂酸2%、蒸煮10 min形成的复合物最好。     

双波长法测定木薯的直链和支链淀粉含量

直链淀粉和支链淀粉含量及其比例是木薯淀粉品质的重要指标。采用双波长法对30个木薯株系的直、支链淀粉的含量进行了测定,根据碘分别与直链和支链淀粉反应生成复合物的吸收光谱,我们最后确定了直链淀粉的和支链淀粉的参比波长和测定波长分别是609和469.5 nm、542和721 nm。根据回归方程得到了30个木薯株系的直链淀粉和支链淀粉的含量。本实验中用于测定木薯的直链淀粉浓度在0~26μg/m L,支链淀粉浓度在0~100μg/m L范围内符合比耳定律。结果表明:SC8不同株系的直链淀粉含量变化范围:14.879%~21.905%,支链淀粉含量变化范围:47.864%~56.955%;SC6不同株系的直链淀粉含量变化范围:15.494%~24.726%,支链淀粉含量变化范围44.292%~57.465%。该方法准确性高、重复性好、效率高,工作量小,适于批量木薯样品分析。     

不同小麦品种支链淀粉结构的比较

支链淀粉是由10个小麦品种(5个类别)用高性能分级排阻色谱法(HPSEC)分离而得到的.10种提纯的支链淀粉样品都含有一个具有相似保留时间和峰形的单一多糖峰.用异淀粉酶将每一个样品脱支,均产生四种线型糖类组分.HPSEC是快速检测支链淀粉脱支片段的有效方法.四种组分的图谱面积依次为4.0%,19.1%,30.5%和46.4%.供试小麦支链淀粉脱支片段鉴别表明,它们的支链淀粉结构无差异.     

小麦直、支链淀粉和总淀粉含量的比色快速测定研究

为了快速准确地测定小麦直、支链淀粉含量,通过单波长法、双波长法、多波长法对比色法测定小麦直、支链淀粉含量进行了比较,并对影响测定结果的试验条件进行了优化和分析.结果表明,与马铃薯相比,小麦面粉直、支链淀粉-碘复合物吸收曲线存在一定的差异.用单波长法、双波长法、多波长法测定小麦直、支链淀粉含量,均能得到相关性很高的回归方程.双波长和多波长法可以有效地排除其他物质的干扰,测定结果优于单波长法.多波长法测定复杂,结果计算繁琐,因此双波长法更适用于小麦直、支链淀粉含量的同时测定,其测定结果也优于多波长法.在双波长法中,小麦直链淀粉的适宜测定波长为630和486nm,小麦支链淀粉的适宜测定波长为550和743nm.溶液酸碱度pH值3.5左右.     

小麦籽粒淀粉合成动态及糊化特性的基因型差异

为了明确不同基因型小麦品种籽粒灌浆过程中的淀粉合成动态,为小麦的高产优质栽培提供参考信息,对6个不同基因型小麦籽粒形成过程中淀粉组分的变化及淀粉糊化特性进行了分析。结果表明,非糯性小麦的直链淀粉含量随着花后天数的增加呈上升的趋势,糯性小麦则呈先上升后下降的趋势,所有品种的支链淀粉含量均呈上升的趋势;不同基因型小麦直链、支链淀粉积累速率均呈单峰曲线图,不同品种直链淀粉最大积累速率出现的时间不同,而支链淀粉最大积累速率出现的时间均在花后21d;不同小麦品种的峰值粘度、低谷粘度、最终粘度均随着花后天数的增加而上升;不同品种淀粉糊化特性不同:糯性小麦之间在糊化时间、反弹值上无差异,而在峰值粘度、低谷粘度、最终粘度、稀懈值上的差异达显著水平;对于非糯性小麦,豫麦50和其他品种的多数糊化参数差异达显著水平;糯小麦和非糯小麦在糊化参数上的差异达1%显著水平。     

高压诱变小麦突变体籽粒淀粉积累的动态变化

为了解高压诱变小麦突变体籽粒灌浆过程中的淀粉积累特性,以未经高压处理的偃展4110纯系为对照,对经过高压诱变处理(120MPa,8h)获得的偃展4110突变株系高压2、高压3、高压5、高压9和高压11的籽粒形成过程中淀粉含量的动态变化进行了分析。结果表明,突变株系籽粒总淀粉、直链淀粉、支链淀粉含量均呈"S"型曲线变化;总淀粉、直链淀粉、支链淀粉积累速率表现为"抛物线"型曲线变化,花后15~20d为籽粒总淀粉、直链淀粉、支链淀粉含量增加最快的时期;高压2、高压5的总淀粉、直链淀粉、支链淀粉含量高于对照,高压9低于对照;成熟期高压2和高压9的总淀粉含量分别为80.99%和73.05%,与对照(77.38%)差异显著(P0.05),说明高压诱变对淀粉积累有影响。不同样品之间总淀粉、直链淀粉、支链淀粉含量变化速率存在显著差异(P0.05),对照的总淀粉、支链淀粉峰值速率高于其他突变株系;高压2和高压5的直链淀粉峰值速率明显高于对照。     

Storage retrogradation behavior of sorghum, maize and rice starch pastes related to amylopectin fine structure

Storage retrogradation behavior and properties of sorghum, maize, and rice starches were compared to better understand the relationship of amylopectin fine structure to quality issues. Long-term changes in texture of starch gels were attributed to amylopectin retrogradation. In starch pastes aged 7 days at 4 °C, change in the storage modulus (ΔG^′) during heating (representing intermolecular associations) was highly and positively correlated (r = 0.93, p < 0.01) with the proportion of fraction I (FrI) long chains from debranched amylopectin. One sorghum cultivar, Mota Maradi, showed a dramatic increase in the storage modulus (G′) over the 7 day storage period that was related to its high proportion of FrI. Pastes/gels made from starches with normal (20–30%) amylose content and higher proportions of FrI long chains from debranched amylopectin tended to become firmer with more syneresis during extended storage. Both degree of polymerization measurements and previous models for amylopectin structure indicate that FrI represents long B chains of amylopectin. Cereal cultivars having amylopectin structures with lower proportion of long B chains were speculated to give improved quality products with lower rates of retrogradation and staling. This is particularly an issue in sorghum foods where products generally lack storage stability and tend to stale relatively quickly.     

The addition of corn fiber gum improves the long-term stability and retrogradation properties of corn starch

This study was designed to test the hypothesis that the stability and physical properties of starch gels could be improved by adding small amounts of corn fiber gum (CFG). In the differential scanning calorimeter measurement, the enthalpy of retrogradation was 7.30 J/g for starch without CFG and 4.30 J/g for starch composite gel with 1.0% CFG. The addition of 1.0% CFG to starch significantly (p < 0.05) decreased the degree of retrogradation during the long-term storage from 61.6% to 36.5%. The addition of CFG retarded the syneresis of the starch system from 17.97% and 34.93%–6.15% and 26.57% after storage for 7 and 14 days respectively. The crystallization peak of starch containing 0.5–1.0% CFG was quite diminished. When compared with the starch gel alone, the addition of CFG significantly lowered the hardness of the composite starch gel from 60.92 to 45.81 N after 14 days storage. The starch gel without CFG showed the lowest rapidly digestible starch content and the highest resistant starch content in comparison to starch/CFG composite gels after 7 and 14 days storage. Over all, the addition of CFG considerably inhibits the retrogradation of corn starch gels during long-term storage.     

Crystallinity changes in wheat starch during the bread-making process: Starch crystallinity in the bread crust

The crystallinity of starch in crispy bread crust was quantified using several different techniques. Confocal scanning laser microscopy (CSLM) demonstrated the presence of granular starch in the crust and remnants of granules when moving towards the crumb. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) showed an endothermic transition at 70 °C associated with the melting of crystalline amylopectin. The relative starch crystallinity, as determined by X-ray and DSC, from different types of breads was found to lie between 36% and 41% (X-ray) and between 32% and 43% (DSC) for fresh bread crust. Storage of breads in a closed box (22 °C) for up to 20 days showed an increase in crust crystallinity due to amylopectin retrogradation both by X-ray and DSC. However, DSC thermograms of 1-day old bread crust showed no amylopectin retrogradation and after 2 days storage, amylopectin retrogradation in the crust was hardly detectable. ¹³C CP MAS NMR was used to characterize the physical state of starch in flour and bread crumb and crust. The intensity of the peaks showed a dependence on the degree of starch gelatinization.     

Amylose and Lipid Contents,Amylopectin Structure,and Gelatinisation Properties of Waxy Wheat (Triticum aestivum) Starch

Starch was isolated from the endosperm of three recently developed waxy wheat lines and their parents. Their amylose and lipid contents, amylopectin structures and gelatinisation properties were evaluated. The endosperm starch from waxy wheat lines is composed essentially of amylopectin. The apparent amylose (1·2–2·0 g/100 g) and lipid contents (0·12–0·29 g/100 g) are much lower than the apparent amylose (26·0–28·4 g/100 g) and lipid contents (1·05–1·17 g/100 g) of their non-waxy parents. The amylopectin of waxy wheat lines is structurally identical to that of the parents. The peak gelatinisation temperature and gelatinisation enthalpy for waxy starch are significantly higher than for non-waxy starch, but the gelatinisation enthalpy for the amylopectin fraction of waxy starch is nearly identical to that of non-waxy starch.     

The effect of gluten on the retrogradation of wheat starch

The retrogradation of amylopectin in a wheat starch and a wheat starch/gluten (10:1) blend prepared by extrusion and containing 34% water (wet weight basis) was studied using X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry and NMR relaxometry during storage at constant water content and temperature (25 °C). For both samples, amylopectin ‘fully’ retrograded after 2–3 days storage, i.e. the different parameters monitored with time to follow the retrogradation had reached their maximum value, and crystallised predominantly into the A polymorph. Under the experimental conditions used, there was no evidence of any significant effects of the presence of gluten on the kinetics, extent or polymorphism of amylopectin retrogradation.     

Factors Influencing the Retrogradation of Two Rice Starches in Low-Molecular-Weight Saccharide Solutions

The complicated effects of added sugars and maltodextrins (5–20%) on the retrogradation of starch gels were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic rheometry. One indica (Kaoshiung Sen 7, KSS7) and one japonica (Tainung 67, TNu67) rice starch with well-defined physico-chemical properties were used to clarify changes in re-crystallisation behaviour of starch components due to the addition of saccharides at different concentrations. The sugars showed marked suppression effects on the short-term retrogradation of KSS7, and both short- and long-term retrogradation of TNu67 gels. The suppressing effect of the sugars depended not only on sugar concentration, but also on the starch variety and the aging period. Maltodextrins with high average-degree of polymerisation exhibited a high retrogradation-promoting capability, especially in TNu67 gels on the first day. The addition of sugars and maltodextrins at 5–20% generally had little effect on the correlation between the storage modulus and the retrogradation enthalpy of starch gels.     

Effect of thermal processing and storage on digestibility of starch in whole wheat grains

Gelatinisation and retrogradation of starch in wheat flour systems and whole wheat grains were studied using DSC and the impact of these events on starch digestibility was investigated. Gelatinisation of starch was possible in wheat flours with more than 60% moisture content (dwb) and gelatinised samples had higher digestibility values. Retrogradation of starch was studied with partially and fully cooked (boiled at 100 °C for 12 min and 32 min, respectively) wheat grains that were subjected to storage at 22 °C for 48 h. Stored samples had lower digestibility values when compared to the freshly cooked counterparts. The effect of moisture on retrogradation was studied with fully cooked wheat grains that were dried to a range of moisture contents (14.6–35.9%, wwb) and stored at 20 °C for 24 h. Retrogradation enthalpy increased with increasing moisture content; however, digestibility values did not reflect the changes in retrogradation enthalpy. The possibility of estimating the degree of retrogradation in fully cooked grains (32 min cooking) was investigated using a wheat flour-water system. The retrogradation enthalpy of fully cooked grains was slightly higher than the wheat flour-water system (at a moisture content of 49%, wwb) during the course of storage at 22 °C.     

Impact of pre-germination on amylopectin molecular structures,crystallinity, and thermal properties of pre-germinated brown rice starches

Ungerminated brown rice (UGBR) and pre-germinated brown rice (PGBR) obtained from different pre-germination durations were studied to investigate the changes in total starch contents of flour, amylopectin molecular structures, crystallinity, and thermal properties of starches as affected by pre-germination. Each paddy of three rice cultivars with different amylose contents (RD6, waxy; KDML105, low amylose; and RD31, high amylose) was soaked in water at 30°C for 12 h and incubated over different periods until the three stages of embryonic growth length (EGL) were achieved. The total starch contents of three-stage PGBR flour from all rice cultivars decreased when pre-germination durations were increased. The three-stage PGBR starches from the three rice cultivars had lower weight-average molecular weight (Mw) and number-average molecular weight (Mn) than UGBR starches. All starches from the three rice cultivars displayed an A-type X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD). Isolated UGBR starch from RD6 had the highest (31.33%) relative crystallinity (RC), while RD31 showed the lowest RC (26.79%). The slight increases in the RC of three-stage PGBR starches from three rice cultivars were found after pre-germination. Isolated PGBR starches from the three rice cultivars had higher gelatinization temperatures and enthalpy, but lower retrogradation enthalpy and %retrogradation than UGBR starches.

The effect of moisture on retrogradation was studied with fully cooked wheat grains that were dried to a range of moisture contents (14.6–35.9%, wwb) and stored at 20 °C for 24 h. Retrogradation enthalpy increased with increasing moisture content; however, digestibility values did not reflect the changes in retrogradation enthalpy. The possibility of estimating the degree of retrogradation in fully cooked grains (32 min cooking) was investigated using a wheat flour-water system. The retrogradation enthalpy of fully cooked grains was slightly higher than the wheat flour-water system (at a moisture content of 49%, wwb) during the course of storage at 22 °C.
