[PMID: 38823738 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132765] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2024] [Revised: 05/25/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/03/2024]
Abstract
The retrogradation of starch is crucial for the texture and nutritional value of starchy foods products. There is mounting evidence highlighting the significant impact of starch's fine structures on starch retrogradation. Because of the complexity of starch fine structure, it is a formidable challenge to study the structure-property relationship of starch retrogradation. Several models have been proposed over the years to facilitate understanding of starch structure. In this review, from the perspective of starch models, the intricate structure-property relationship is sorted into the correlation between different types of structural parameters and starch retrogradation performance. Amylopectin B chains with DP 24-36 and DP ≥36 exhibit a higher tendency to form ordered crystalline structures, which promotes starch retrogradation. The chains with DP 6-12 mainly inhibit starch retrogradation. Based on the building block backbone model, a longer inter-block chain length (IB-CL) enhances the realignment and reordering of starch. The mathematical parameterization model reveals a positive correlation between amylopectin medium chains, amylose short chains, and amylose long chains with starch retrogradation. The review is structured according to starch models; this contributes to a clear and comprehensive elucidation of the structure-property relationship, thereby providing valuable references for the selection and utilization of starch.

Abstract
Investigation on amylopectin molecular structure is gaining importance for understanding the properties of starch. Lotus seeds are a novel starch source with high apparent amylose content. Current understanding on the molecular structure of amylopectin in lotus seed starch is scarce. This study compared the molecular structure of a range of lotus seed amylopectins with those of maize and potato amylopectins. Internal structures of these amylopectins were compared via investigating the chain length distribution of their β-limit dextrins. The average lengths and molar compositions of unit chains in lotus seed amylopectins and their β-limit dextrins fell generally between those of maize and potato. The average chain lengths of lotus seed, maize, and potato amylopectins were 19.95 (on average), 19.11, and 21.19 glucosyl units, respectively. Lotus seed amylopectins had higher weight proportion of clustered unsubstituted chains (44.94 % on average) than those of potato (43.99 %) and maize amylopectins (42.95 %). Results of correlation analysis indicated that apparent amylose content of LS were related to structural characteristics of its amylopectin due to the presence of long external chains. The results of this study are of fundamental importance for the utilization of lotus seed starch as a novel starch source.

Abstract
The main element influencing the quality of potato starch is the environment. To investigate the effects of different altitude cultivation locations on the molecular structure and physicochemical properties of starch, two potato varieties, Jiusen No.1 B1 and Qingshu No.9 B2, were planted in three different altitude zones: A1 at low altitude (Chongzhou 450 m), A2 at middle altitude (Xichang 2800 m), and A3 at high altitude (Litang 3650 m). The results showed that the average volume, number, surface area diameter, average branched polymerization degree, crystallinity, and gelatinization temperature of two potato granules in high altitude areas were significantly lower than those in middle and low altitude areas were, and the gelatinization performance of potato starch was affected according to the correlation of starch structure characteristics. Potato starch with more short-branched chains and less long branched chains resulted in a lower gelatinization temperature in high altitude areas. The results showed that Jiusen No. 1 and Qingshu No. 9 were mainly affected by accumulated radiation and accumulated rainfall in Litang, a high altitude area, and by effective accumulated temperature in Xichang, a middle altitude area. This study quantified the influence of meteorological factors on the main starch quality of potato tubers. The results can be used as a theoretical basis for the scientific planting of high-quality potatoes.

Abstract
Common buckwheat starch (CBS) has extensive using value in the human diet. In this study, the molecular structure and physicochemical properties of CBS isolated from five cultivars collected from three regions of China were studied. Variations in molecular structure, crystalline structure, complexity, water solubility (WS), swelling power (SP), pasting properties, and thermal characteristics were recorded among the starches. The CBS had both similarities and differences in its properties by comparison with maize starch (MS) and potato starch (PS). The average molecular weight (MW) and amylopectin average chain length (ACL) of CBS ranged from 3.86 × 107 g/mol to 4.68 × 107 g/mol and from 21.29% to 22.68%, respectively. CBS and MS were divided into one subgroup and showed typical A diffraction patterns, while PS was divided into two subgroups and exhibited a typical B polymorphic pattern. The WS and SP of all the starches significantly increased with increasing temperature and had great variation at 70 °C and 90 °C. Pearson's correlation analysis showed that the molecular structure of starches greatly affected the physicochemical properties. This study revealed that the physicochemical properties of CBS could be affected by the molecular structures.
