Carbohydr Polym 2023; 310:120737. [PMID: 36925233 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2023.120737] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2022] [Revised: 02/10/2023] [Accepted: 02/19/2023] [Indexed: 02/25/2023]
Abstract
Starch can readily form complexes with polyphenols. However, its two components, namely amylose and amylopectin, differ significantly in their ability to complex with phenolic compounds. Given that the mechanism of their interaction is still poorly studied, this work investigated intermolecular interactions between apigenin and starch with different amylose/amylopectin ratios using 1H NMR, FT-IR, XRD, DSC and solid-state NMR. Results showed that corn starch with high amylose/amylopectin ratios had a better complexing ability and higher complexing index with apigenin than amylopectin. Besides, solid-state NMR suggested that the molecular mechanism behind the strong intermolecular interactions between corn starch and apigenin involved hydrogen bonds. Furthermore, the detailed binding sites of hydrogen bonds, that linked by hydroxyl-starch and phenyl-apigenin were also confirmed by 1H13C heteronuclear correlation (HETCOR) spectra. This study revealed the molecular mechanism on amylose/amylopectin complexing with apigenin and provides a theoretical basis for further developing polyphenols in starchy food.

JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2023; 103:3907-3914.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The pasting properties of rice change markedly after aging, although the mechanism for this still remains unknown. Aged and fresh rice grains were ground and the flours were fractionated by particle size, and then the pasting properties, particle size distribution and microscopic morphology of the heated flour fractions were evaluated. RESULTS Compared to the corresponding fresh flour fractions with the same particle size, a lower peak viscosity for those aged flour fractions from 80 μm to 450 μm and a higher peak viscosity for those aged flour fractions from 20 μm to 60 μm were observed. The amounts of smaller particles disaggregated from the aged flour fractions were significantly less and the separated entities were always larger than the corresponding fresh rice fractions. CONCLUSION Disaggregation difficulty of starch granules was the reason for the changes in the pasting properties of rice after aging. This finding is helpful for understanding rice aging mechanisms and regulating eating quality of rice flour as an ingredient. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
This review focuses on the structure and genetic regulation of starch formation in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) endosperm. Sorghum is an important cereal crop that is well suited to grow in regions with high temperatures and limited water resources due to its C4 metabolism. The endosperm of sorghum kernels is a rich source of starch, which is composed of two main components: amylose and amylopectin. The synthesis of starch in sorghum endosperm involves multiple enzymatic reactions, which are regulated by complex genetic and environmental factors. Recent research has identified several genes involved in the regulation of starch synthesis in sorghum endosperm. In addition, the structure and properties of sorghum starch can also be influenced by environmental factors such as temperature, water availability, and soil nutrients. A better understanding of the structure and genetic regulation of starch formation in sorghum endosperm can have important implications for the development of sorghum-based products with improved quality and nutritional value. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the current knowledge on the structure and genetic regulation of starch formation in sorghum endosperm and highlights the potential for future research to further improve our understanding of this important process.

Abstract
Starch can be found in the stems, roots, fruits, and seeds of plants such as sweet potato, cassava, corn, potato, and many more. In addition to its original form, starch can be modified by reducing its size. Starch nanoparticles have a small size and large active surface area, making them suitable for use as fillers or as a reinforcing material in bioplastics. The aim of reinforcing material is to improve the characteristics of bioplastics. This literature study aims to provide in-depth information on the potential use of starch nanoparticles as a reinforcing material in bioplastic packaging. This study also reviews starch size reduction methods including acid hydrolysis, nanoprecipitation, milling, and others; characteristics of the nano-starch particle; and methods to produce bioplastic and its characteristics. The use of starch nanoparticles as a reinforcing material can increase tensile strength, reduce water vapor and oxygen permeability, and increase the biodegradability of bioplastics. However, the use of starch nanoparticles as a reinforcing material for bioplastic packaging still encounters obstacles in its commercialization efforts, due to high production costs and ineffectiveness.

Abstract
Waxy maize has many excellent characteristics in food and nonfood industries. However, post-silking low temperature (LT) has severe limitations on its grain yield and quality. In this study, field and pot trials were conducted to investigate the effects of post-silking LT on the physiological, biochemical, and functional characteristics of two waxy maize grains. The field and pot trials were performed with sowing date and artificial climate chamber, respectively, for LT treatment from silking stage to maturity. Results in pot trial were used to explain and validate the findings in field trial. Compared with the ambient treatment, the LT treatment significantly reduced kernel weight during the grain filling stage (P < 0.05). LT treatment in both environments resulted in an average decrease in dry weight of SYN5 and YN7 at maturity by 36.6% and 42.8%, respectively. Enzymatic activities related to starch and protein biosynthesis decreased under the LT treatment during the filling stage, accompanied by a decrease in the accumulation amounts and contents of soluble sugar and starch, and a decrease in protein accumulation amount. Meanwhile, the contents of abscisic acid, indole-3-acetic acid, and gibberellin 3 in grains decreased under the LT treatment during the filling stage. Peak, trough, breakdown, final, and setback viscosities of grains decreased by LT. LT treatment decreased the gelatinization enthalpy of grains and increased the retrogradation percentage. In conclusion, post-silking LT stress altered the content of grain components by inhibiting the production of phytohormones and down-regulating the enzymatic activities involved in starch and protein metabolism, which resulted in the deterioration of grain pasting and thermal properties.

Changes in fine structure of amylopectin and internal structures of starch granules in developing endosperms and culms caused by starch branching enzyme mutations of japonica rice. PLANT MOLECULAR BIOLOGY 2022; 108:481-496.

Abstract
BEIIb plays a specific role in determining the structure of amylopectin in rice endosperm, whereas BEIIa plays the similar role in the culm where BEIIb is absent. Cereals have three types of starch branching enzymes (BEs), BEI, BEIIa, and BEIIb. It is widely known that BEIIb is specifically expressed in the endosperm and plays a distinct role in the structure of amylopectin because in its absence the amylopectin type changes to the amylose-extender-type (ae-type) or B-type from the wild-type or A-type and this causes the starch crystalline allomorph to the B-type from the wild-type A-type. This study aimed to clarify the role of BEIIa in the culm where BEIIb is not expressed, by using a be2a mutant in comparison with results with be2b and be1 mutants. The results showed that the amylopectin structure exhibited the B-type in the be2a culm compared with the A-type in the wild-type culm. The starch granules from the be2a culm also showed the B-type like allomorph when examined by X-ray diffraction analysis and optical sum frequency generation spectroscopy. Both amylopectin chain-length profile and starch crystalline properties were found to be the A-type at the very early stage of endosperm development at 4-6 days after pollination (DAP) even in the be2b mutant. All these results support a view that in the culm as well as in the endosperm at 4-6 DAP, BEIIa can play the role of BEIIb which has been well documented in maturing endosperm. The possible mechanism as to how BEIIa can play its role is discussed.

Abstract
Modified potato starch with slower digestion may aid the development of new starch derivatives with improved nutritional values, and strategies to increase nutritional fractions such as resistant starch (RS) are desired. In this study, a correspondence between starch structure and enzymatic resistance was provided based on the efficient branching enzyme AqGBE, and modified starches with different amylose content (Control, 100%; PS1, 90%; PS2, 72%; PS3, 32%; PS4, 18%) were prepared. Through SEM observation, NMR and X-ray diffraction analyses, we identified that an increased proportion of α-1,6-linked branches in potato starch changes its state of granule into large pieces with crystallinity. Molecular weight and chain-length distribution analysis showed a decrease of molecular weight (from 1.1 × 106 to 1.1 × 105 g/mol) without an obvious change of chain-length distribution in PS1, while PS2-4 exhibited an increased proportion of DP 6-12 with a stable molecular weight distribution, indicating a distinct model of structural modification by AqGBE. The enhancement of peak viscosity was related to increased hydrophobic interactions and pieces state of PS1, while the contents of SDS and RS in PS1 increased by 37.7 and 49.4%, respectively. Our result provides an alternative way to increase the RS content of potato starch by branching modification.

Abstract
Subgroups of starch granules from five maize phenotypes including waxy-, normal-, popcorn-, sweet corn- and high-amylose maize were sorted by flow cytometry (FC) utilizing the side scatter channel (SSC) and forward scatter channel (FSC). SSC and FSC mainly reflecting internal object complexity, and object size, respectively. Subgroups with higher FSC signal always showed higher SSC signal, indicating larger granules exhibited higher internal structural complexity. Wide-angle and small-angle X-ray scattering analysis showed that the subgroups showing high SSC signal intensity also had high lamellar scattering intensity, and low crystallinity. Vibrational transitions of bonds analyzed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) showed that the subgroups of maize starches, except sweet corn starch, with high SSC signal had high intensities at 1045 and 1022 cm-1. Hence, our data demonstrate that the structural complexity detected by the SSC signal is mainly associated with lamellar and crystalline features of starch granules.

Abstract
The molecular structure and the expression levels of starch biosynthesis-related genes of three types of high-amylose maize (HAM) genotypes and one normal maize (NM) genotype at 5-35 days after pollination (DAP) were studied. Size exclusion chromatography (SEC) analysis showed that the molecular size of amylopectin molecules in NM increased from 5 to 35 DAP and the amylose content in HAM genotypes increased from 15 to 35 DAP. Correlation analysis for both NM and HAMs combined showed that SBEIIb and ISAII were negatively correlated with the contents of amylose and long amylopectin chains (DP > 30) and positively correlated with the content of short amylopectin chains (DP ≤ 31) and the molecular size of amylopectin molecules. Correlation analysis for only the HAMs showed that amylose content was negatively correlated with SBEI and SSIIa. In both correlation analyses, SSIIa showed a negative correlation with the average chain lengths of amylose chains.

Low temperatures (LT) in spring can have a major impact on the yields of wheat in winter. Wheat varieties with different cold sensitivities (the cold-tolerant Yannong 19 variety and the cold-sensitive Yangmai 18 variety) were used to study the responses of the wheat grain starch synthesis and dry material accumulation to short-term LT during the booting stage. The effects of short-term LT on the activities of key wheat grain starch synthesis enzymes, starch content and grain dry-matter accumulation were determined by exposing the wheat to simulated LT of from -2 to 2°C. Short-term LT stress caused a decrease in the fullness of the wheat grains along with decreased activities of adenosine diphosphate glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGPase, EC2.7.7.27), soluble starch synthase (SSS, EC2.4.1.21), granule-bound starch synthase (GBSS, EC2.4.1.21), and starch branching enzyme (SBE, EC2.4.1.18) at different spike positions during the filling stage. The rate of grain starch accumulation and starch content decreased with decreasing temperatures. Also, the duration of grain filling increased, the mean and the maximum filling rates were reduced and the quality of the grain dry-matter decreased. The number of grains per spike and the thousand-grain weight of the mature grains also decreased. Our data showed that short-term LT stress at the booting stage caused a decrease in the activities of key starch synthesis enzymes at the grain-filling stage. These changes reduced the accumulation of starch, decreased the filling rate, and lowered the accumulation of grain dry matter to ultimately decrease grain yields.

Abstract
Cereals, one of the starch sources, have a tremendous and steady production worldwide. Starchy foods constitute the major part of daily calorie intake for humans. As a simple and green modification approach, heat-moisture treatment (HMT) could change the granular surface characteristics and size, crystalline and helical structure, as well as molecular organization of cereal starch. The changing degree is contingent on HMT parameters and botanical origin. Based on the hierarchical structure, this paper reviews functionalities of heat-moisture modified cereal starch (HMCS) reported in latest years. The functionality of HMCS could be affected by co-existing non-starch ingredients through non-covalent/covalent interactions, depolymerization or simply attachment/encapsulation. Besides, it summarizes the modulation of HMCS in dough rheology and final food products' quality. Selecting proper HMT conditions is crucial for achieving nutritious products with desirable sensory and storage quality. This review gives a systematic understanding about HMCS for the better utilization in food industry.

Abstract
The physicochemical, rheological properties and structure of potato starch and starch-tea polyphenols (TPs) complex modified by enzyme and alcohol was investigated in this study. Cavities on the modified starch granules and morphology change could be investigated by SEM, while significant birefringence observed in complete granules by polarizing light microscope, but disappeared in crashed starch. TPs inhibited the aggregation of amylose and retrogradation of starch-TPs complex, resulting in the decrease of gel strength, and the increase of viscosity and gelatinization stability of starch granules. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra showed that intramolecular hydrogen bond could be formed between TPs with modified starch, and the hydrogen bond force formed by starch and TPs was stronger than that between starch molecules. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that three modification methods did not change the crystalline structure of starch, but new diffraction peaks appeared in the four starch-TPs complex, suggesting that the hydrogen bond was incurred by interaction between TPs and amylose to form V-type crystalline. These results demonstrated that the complex formed by TPs and native/modified potato starch could be used in food industrial applications due to the inhibition of starch retrogradation.
