RICE (NEW YORK, N.Y.) 2024; 17:47. [PMID: 39102064 DOI: 10.1186/s12284-024-00725-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2024] [Accepted: 07/28/2024] [Indexed: 08/06/2024]
Abstract
Rice grain is widely consumed as a staple food, providing essential nutrition for households, particularly marginalized families. It plays a crucial role in ensuring food security, promoting human nutrition, supporting good health, and contributing to global food and nutritional security. Addressing the diverse quality demands of emerging diverse and climate-risked population dietary needs requires the development of a single variety of rice grain that can meet the various dietary and nutritional requirements. However, there is a lack of concrete definition for rice grain quality, making it challenging to cater to the different demands. The lack of sufficient genetic study and development in improving rice grain quality has resulted in widespread malnutrition, hidden hunger, and micronutrient deficiencies affecting a significant portion of the global population. Therefore, it is crucial to identify genetically evolved varieties with marked qualities that can help address these issues. Various factors account for the declining quality of rice grain and requires further study to improve their quality for healthier diets. We characterized rice grain quality using Lancastrians descriptor and a multitude of intrinsic and extrinsic quality traits. Next, we examined various components of rice grain quality favored in the Asia-Pacific region. This includes preferences by different communities, rice industry stakeholders, and value chain actors. We also explored the biological aspects of rice grain quality in the region, as well as specific genetic improvements that have been made in these traits. Additionally, we evaluated the factors that can influence rice grain quality and discussed the future directions for ensuring food and nutritional security and meeting consumer demands for grain quality. We explored the diverse consumer bases and their varied preferences in Asian-Pacific countries including India, China, Nepal, Bhutan, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Thailand, Cambodia, Philippines, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Korea, Myanmar and Japan. The quality preferences encompassed a range of factors, including rice head recovery, grain shape, uniform size before cooking, gelatinization, chalkiness, texture, amylose content, aroma, red-coloration of grain, soft and shine when cooked, unbroken when cooked, gelatinization, less water required for cooking, gelatinization temperature (less cooking time), aged rice, firm and dry when cooked (gel consistency), extreme white, soft when chewed, easy-to-cook rice (parboiled rice), vitamins, and minerals. These preferences were evaluated across high, low, and medium categories. A comprehensive analysis is provided on the enhancement of grain quality traits, including brown rice recovery, recovery rate of milled rice, head rice recovery, as well as morphological traits such as grain length, grain width, grain length-width ratio, and grain chalkiness. We also explored the characteristics of amylose, gel consistency, gelatinization temperature, viscosity, as well as the nutritional qualities of rice grains such as starch, protein, lipids, vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, and bio-fortification potential. The various factors that impact the quality of rice grains, including pre-harvest, post-harvest, and genotype considerations were explored. Additionally, we discussed the future direction and genetic strategies to effectively tackle these challenges. These qualitative characteristics represent the fundamental focus of regional and national breeding strategies employed by different countries to meet consumer preference. Given the significance of rice as a staple food in Asia-Pacific countries, it is primarily consumed domestically, with only a small portion being exported internationally. All the important attributes must be clearly defined within specific parameters. It is crucial for geneticists and breeders to develop a rice variety that can meet the diverse demands of consumers worldwide by incorporating multiple desirable traits. Thus, the goal of addressing global food and nutritional security, and human healthy can be achieved.

Gu Y, Hu Y, Ying Y, Qian L, Bao J. Physicochemical characteristics of tea seed starches from twenty-five cultivars. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 275:133570. [PMID: 38955297 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133570] [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: 03/30/2024] [Revised: 06/26/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/04/2024]
Abstract
The physicochemical features of starches separated from tea seeds of 25 cultivars were analyzed. The distinct characteristic of tea seed starches was that they had high apparent amylose content (AAC, 28.94-39.91 %) and resistant starch contents (4.64-8.24 %), suggesting that tea starch can be used for production of low glycemic index food. One cultivar (T12) had smallest breakdown (74.2 RVU) and highest gel hardness, indicating it performed stably during shear thinning, resulting in a firm texture. Another cultivar (T25) had a peak viscosity of 417.6 RVU, a large breakdown and small setback, suggesting a low tendency for retrogradation. There was a range of 61.6 °C to 77.5 °C for the peak gelatinization temperature and 0.163 to 0.390 for the flow behavior index values. These parameters could serve for selecting suitable starches with minor differences in physicochemical properties for food use. Correlation analysis indicated that AAC is a key factor determining starch retrogradation properties. The broad genetic diversity in the tea seed starch physicochemical features provided potentially versatile applications in the food industry. The results gained from the present study contribute to a better understanding of tea seed starch quality, and encourage its application in many value-added food products.

Abstract
MAIN CONCLUSION The review discusses growth and drought-response mechanisms in minor millets under three themes: drought escape, drought avoidance and drought tolerance. Drought is one of the most prominent abiotic stresses impacting plant growth, performance, and productivity. In the context of climate change, the prevalence and severity of drought is expected to increase in many agricultural regions worldwide. Millets (coarse grains) are a group of small-seeded grasses cultivated in arid and semi-arid regions throughout the world and are an important source of food and feed for humans and livestock. Although minor millets, i.e., foxtail millet, finger millet, proso millet, barnyard millet, kodo millet and little millet are generally hardier and more drought-resistant than cereals and major millets (sorghum and pearl millet), understanding their responses, processes and strategies in response to drought is more limited. Here, we review drought resistance strategies in minor millets under three themes: drought escape (e.g., short crop cycle, short vegetative period, developmental plasticity and remobilization of assimilates), drought avoidance (e.g., root traits for better water absorption and leaf traits to control water loss), and drought tolerance (e.g., osmotic adjustment, maintenance of photosynthetic ability and antioxidant potential). Data from 'omics' studies are summarized to provide an overview of the molecular mechanisms important in drought tolerance. In addition, the final section highlights knowledge gaps and challenges to improving minor millets. This review is intended to enhance major cereals and millet per se in light of climate-related increases in aridity.

Abstract
Studying diversity in local barley varieties can help advance novel uses for the grain. Therefore, starch was isolated from nine Ethiopian food barley varieties to determine starch structural, pasting, thermal, and digestibility characteristics, as well as their inter-relationships. The amylose content in the varieties significantly varied from 24.5 to 30.3%, with a coefficient of variation of 6.1%. The chain length distributions also varied significantly, and fa, fb1, fb2, and fb3 ranged from 26.3 to 29.0, 48.0 to 49.7, 15.0 to 15.9, and 7.5 to 9.5%, respectively. Significant variations were also exhibited in absorbance peak ratios, as well as thermal, pasting, and in vitro digestibility properties, with the latter two parameters showing the greatest diversity. Higher contents of amylose and long amylopectin fractions contributed to higher gelatinization temperatures and viscosities and lower digestibility. Structural characteristics showed strong relationships with viscosity, thermal, and in vitro digestibility properties. Cross 41/98 and Dimtu varieties are more suitable in functional food formulations and for bakery products. These results might inspire further studies to suggest target-based starch modifications and new product development.

Abstract
In this study, Lycoris chinensis bulbs of four developmental stages were compared for starch characteristics. Based on correlation analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis, the relationships among 36 traits were discussed. Compared to commonly consumed starches, L. chinensis starch had higher amylose content (33.4-43.2 %) and weight-average molar mass (36410-82,781 kDa), lower gelatinization temperature (61.8-68.1 °C), gel hardness (19.0-39.5 g) and viscosities. Among developmental stages, starches varied significantly in characteristics. As compared to juvenile stage (S1), mature bulbs (S4) had higher amylose content, lower gelatinization temperature, weight-average molar mass and degree of polymorphism. Correlation analysis revealed that the molecular weight-related traits had significantly positive correlations to gelatinization temperature (Tp, p < 0.05), positive but weak correlations to traits of particle size distribution, significantly negative correlations to AAC and many parameters of viscosity properties (p < 0.05). Based on the results of correlation analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis, the 36 traits of starch characteristics were proposed to be divided into three groups: particle size-related traits, molecular weight-related traits and AAC-related traits. The information presented in the current study are useful for future studies on starches of Lycoris and other bulb species, and instructive for future studies in investigating the "Structure-Function" relationship in starch.

Abstract
Introduction Bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum) starch is a non-mainstream, litter-researched starch, thus the starch characteristics remain largely unknown. Methods The structural and physicochemical properties of two bracken starches were systematically investigated, by use of various techniques that routinely applied in starch analysis. Results and Discussion The starches had amylose contents of 22.6 and 24.7%, respectively. The starch granules possessed C-type polymorph with D (4,3) ranging from 18.6 to 24.5 μm. During gelatinization event, the bracken starches showed lower viscosity than typical for rice starch, and lower gelatinization temperature than typical for cereal starches. After gelatinization event, bracken starches formed much softer and sticky gel than rice and potato starch. The molecular weight and branching degree (indexed by Mw, Mn and Rz values) of bracken starches were much higher than starches of many other sources. The branch chain length distributions showed that the bracken starches were structurally similar to some rice varieties (e. g. BP033, Beihan 1#), as reflected by proportions of A, B1, B2, and B3 chains. Notable differences in some starch traits between the two bracken starches were recorded, e. g. amylose content, gel hardness, gelatinization temperature and traits of structural properties. This study provides useful information on the utilization of bracken starch in both food and non-food industries.

Abstract
Introduction Starch is major component in the big seeds of Cycas revoluta, however the characteristics of Cycas revoluta remain unknown. Methods In this study, the physicochemical and structural properties of two starch samples extracted from Cycad revoluta seeds were systematically investigated, using various techniques. Results The amylose contents of the two samples were 34.3 % and 35.5%, respectively. The spherical-truncated shaped starch granules possessed A-type crystallinity, and had an average diameter less than 15 μm. Compared to most commonly consumed cereal and potato starch, Cycad revoluta starch showed distinctive characteristics. For physicochemical properties, in the process of gelatinization, the Cycad revoluta starch showed similar viscosity profile to starches of some potato varieties, but Cycad revoluta starch had higher gelatinization temperature. Upon cooling, Cycad revoluta starch formed harder gels than rice starch. For structure, the molecular weight (indexed by Mw, Mn and Rz values), branching degree and the branch chain length distribution were determined. Discussion The results suggested that Cycad revoluta starch were different in structure from the main-stream starches. Notable differences in some starch traits between the two samples were recorded, which could be attributed to environmental factors. In general, this study provides useful information on the utilization of Cycad revoluta starch in both food and non-food industries.

Abstract
The commercial quality of foxtail millet grain (Setaria italica L.) includes appearance quality, functional quality, and cooking and eating quality, which directly determine whether consumers will purchase the product. We studied the relationship between ecological factors and commercial quality attributes of foxtail millet "Jingu 21" from twelve production areas. The results showed that altitude, latitude, and diurnal temperature range were negatively correlated with b*, total flavones content (TFC), setback (SB), consistence (CS) and pasting temperature (PTM), but positively correlated with L/B and breakdown (BD). In contrast, average temperature, average precipitation, average humidity, available nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium had positive effects on 1,000-grain weight (KGW), b*, TFC, CS, and PTM and had a negative impact on L/B and BD. Climate factors had a greater effect on the commercial quality of foxtail millet than soil factors, and the influence of climatic factors was particularly obvious in the early and middle growth periods. The multivariate equation between ecological factors and the comprehensive score of foxtail millet commercial quality is Y = 1,159.745-4.496X1 (altitude) + 19.529X5 (≥10℃ effective accumulated temperature) - 166.327X10 (organic matters). In conclusion, high temperature and precipitation are conducive to high quality appearance and the accumulation of functional substances, while a high diurnal temperature range and high soil nutrients are conducive to the formation of cooking and eating quality. The impact of ecological factors on foxtail millet quality is complicated and it is essential to select a cultivation site that is matched to the intended use of the foxtail millet being produced.

Proso-millet starch: Properties, functionality, and applications. Int J Biol Macromol 2021; 190:960-968. [PMID: 34536472 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2021.09.064] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2021] [Revised: 09/07/2021] [Accepted: 09/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Previously proso-millet, considered an underutilized cereal, has drawn considerable attention due to health benefits like good nutritional profile, low glycemic index, and gluten-free. The present review discusses starch extractability, structural characteristics, morphology, and physicochemical properties. Starch properties mainly depend on the amylose and amylopectin composition and distribution of brained chains. A very diverse starch structure and morphology were observed among the waxy and non-waxy cultivars. The amylose content ranged from 0.75 to 28.3% in many varieties, but exceptionally Hongmeizi variety showed a 32.3% as per the reported evidence. There are a positive correlation between the amylose content and cooking quality, thermal and pasting properties. The size and shape of smallest to largest starch granules varied between 0.3 and 17 μm and round to polygonal, respectively. The non-waxy starch varieties of proso-millet are widely used in food processing due to high resistance to swelling during heat treatment. Few food applications of proso-millet are bakery products like gluten-free bread, porridge, pasta, ready-to-eat breakfast cereals, infant foods, and distilleries. We can conclude that proso millet is an alternative to existing starch for its quality characteristics and provides insight to many food processing industries.

Abstract
Foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.) is an important reserve cereal crop, and its nutritional and medicinal properties have seen its demand increase in recent years. Therefore, it is important to establish an evaluation system for the comprehensive assessment of its quality. We assessed 90 accessions of foxtail millet from China for 23 quality traits. The results showed that the 23 quality traits had diverse coefficients of variation, with the greatest variation in a*, phosphorus content, and potassium contents, at 37.71, 28.81, and 20.18%, respectively. Cluster analysis defined five categories that were consistent with the geographical origins of the accessions. Seven principal components were also extracted from the 23 traits using principal component analysis. A comprehensive quality evaluation system was established, and 8 high-quality accessions were identified. The findings of the present study could facilitate the breeding of high-quality foxtail millet and enhance quality evaluation activities.

Abstract
In this study, waxy or normal potato starches (WPS or NPS) were blended with waxy, low-amylose or high-amylose rice starch (WRS, LARS or HARS) in different ratios (100:0, 80:20, 60:40, 40:60, 20:80 and 0:100). Pasting profiles of blends were additively between those of the component starches separately except for some mixtures of WRS and potato starches. Twin or even three gelatinization peaks were observed for potato-WRS or potato-HARS blend, while only one peak was observed in potato-LARS blend. Addition of WRS enhanced the nutritional profile of blends containing WPS by decreasing the rapidly digestible starch level. Microscopy revealed that addition of WRS was beneficial for the development of dense and compact structure of gels of blends compared with their counterparts, which may be because few amylose chains leached to inhibit the interaction between swollen potato and rice starch granules. Besides, peak, trough, breakdown and final viscosity as well as gelatinization enthalpy showed significantly negative correlations with amylose leaching. Non-additive behaviours were observed for properties, but more independent behaviour was observed between potato starch and LARS or HARS. Results suggested that properties of blends of potato and rice starches differing in amylose content varied through different extents of amylose leaching.

Abstract
In this study, 95 accessions of proso millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) were characterized for starch physicochemical properties, including apparent amylose content (AAC), gel textural properties, Rapid Visco Analyzer (RVA) pasting viscosity properties, thermal and retrogradation properties. Based on genotypic data, the genetic diversity and inter-relationship of these starch traits were analyzed. Diverse starch quality was found, for example, AAC ranged from 0 to 32.3%, gelatinization temperature (GT) varied from 71.5 to 79.0 ℃, and RVA profile showed distinct patterns among proso millet of different AAC types. Interestingly, high AAC proso millet usually had GT lower than that of low AAC proso millet, which is different from the findings in rice starch. Many starch traits were significantly correlated and most of the 18 tested traits could be classified as either AAC-related traits or GT-related traits. In summary, the information presented here will be useful for further development of proso millet products.

Abstract
Foxtail millet is considered a 'smart food' because of nutrient richness and resilience to environments. A diversity panel of 92 foxtail millet landraces preserved by Taiwan indigenous peoples containing amylose content (AC) in the range of 0.7% to 16.9% exhibited diverse physiochemical properties revealed by a rapid viscosity analyzer (RVA). AC was significantly correlated with 5 RVA parameters, and some RVA parameters were also highly correlated with one another. In comparison to rice, foxtail millet contained less starch (65.9-73.1%) and no significant difference in totals of resistant starch (RS), slowly digestible starch (SDS), hydrolysis index (HI), and expected glycemic index (eGI) according to in vitro digestibility assays of raw flour with similar AC. RS was significantly positively correlated with AC and four RVA parameters, cold paste viscosity (CPV), setback viscosity (SBV), peak time (PeT), and pasting temperature (PaT), implying that suitable food processing to alter physicochemical properties of foxtail millet might mitigate hyperglycemia. This investigation of pasting properties and digestibility of diverse foxtail millet germplasm revealed much variation and showed potential for multi-dimensional utilizations in daily staple food and food industries.
