Abstract
The evolution of the starch fine structure during growth and its impact on the gelatinization behavior of cassava starch (CS) was investigated by isolating starch from South China 6068 (SC6068) cassava harvested from the 4th to 9th growth period. During growth, the short-range ordered structure, crystallinity as well as particle size distribution of starch were increased. Meanwhile, the starch molecular size and amylopectin (AP) proportion increased, while the proportion of amylose (AM) exhibited a decreasing tendency. The chains of short-AM (X ~ 100-1000) were mainly significantly reduced, whereas the short and medium-AP chains (X ~ 6-24) had the most increment in AP. The solubility, thermal stability, shear resistance, and retrogradation resistance of starch were enhanced after gelatinized under the influence of the results mentioned above. This study presented a deeper insight into the variation of starch fine structure during growth and its influence on gelatinization behavior, which would provide a theoretical basis for starch industrial applications.

Spotlight on the Multiscale Structural and Physicochemical Properties of Red Adzuki Bean Starch through Partial Amylose Removal Combined with Hydrochloric Acid. Foods 2023; 12:3366.

Abstract
To explore the effect of amylose within starch granules on the efficiency of starch hydrolysis by acid, we chose the warm water extraction method to treat red adzuki bean starch to obtain different degrees of amylose removal granule models and to prepare samples in combination with acid hydrolysis. The amylose content was reduced after acid hydrolysis, reducing the peak viscosity (2599-1049 cP), while the solubility was significantly increased. In contrast, the short-chain content of the deamylose-acid hydrolysis samples was reduced considerably, exacerbating the trend towards reduced starch orderliness and increased solubility. This work reveals the granular structure of starch from the point of view of deamylose and contributes to a thorough understanding of the mechanisms of acid hydrolysis. It might add to knowledge in starch science research and industrial applications for the acid processing of starch-based foods, particularly with regard to the most important factors controlling the structure and function of starch.

Abstract
It has been suggested that amylopectin can contain small but significant amounts of extra-long chains (ELCs), which could affect functional properties, and also would have implications for the mechanism of starch biosynthesis. However, current evidence for the existence of ELCs is ambiguous. The amylose/amylopectin separation and the characterization techniques used for the investigation of ELCs are reviewed, problems in those techniques are examined, and studies of ELCs of amylopectin are discussed. A model for the biosynthesis of amylopectin chains in terms of conventional biosynthesis enzymes, which provides an excellent fit to a large amount of experimental data, is used to provide a rigorous definition of ELCs. In addition, current investigations of ELCs, involving separation, is hindered by the lack of a method to quantitatively separate all the amylopectin from starch without any traces of residual amylose (which would have long chains). Unambiguous evidence for the existence of ELCs can be obtained using two-dimensional (2D) characterization, these dimensions being the degree of polymerization of a chain and the size of the whole molecule. Available 2D data indicate that there are no ELCs present in currently detectable quantities in native rice starches. However, concluding this more rigorously requires improvements in the resolution of current 2D methods.

High-amylose maize starch: Structure, properties, modifications and industrial applications. Carbohydr Polym 2023; 299:120185.

Abstract
High-amylose maize refers to a special type of maize cultivar with a 50 %-90 % amylose content of the total starch. High-amylose maize starch (HAMS) is of interest because it possesses unique functionalities and provides many health benefits for humans. Therefore, many high-amylose maize varieties have been developed via mutation or transgenic breeding approaches. From the literature reviewed, the fine structure of HAMS is different from the waxy and normal corn starches, influencing its gelatinization, retrogradation, solubility, swelling power, freeze-thaw stability, transparency, pasting and rheological properties, and even in vitro digestion. HAMS has undergone physical, chemical, and enzymatical modifications to enhance its characteristics and thereby broaden its possible uses. HAMS has also been used for the benefit of increasing resistant starch levels in food products. This review summarizes the recent developments in our understanding of the extraction and chemical composition, structure, physicochemical properties, digestibility, modifications, and industrial applications of HAMS.

Abstract
To explore an effective and economic method to prepare higher contents of resistant starch (RS), different enzyme treatments including single pullulanase (PUL), commercial α-amylase (AA) or/and β-amylase (BA) with PUL, and malt endogenous amylase (MA) with PUL were used and the structural, physicochemical properties and digestibility of all modified starches (MS) were compared. All the enzyme-treated starches displayed a mixture of B and V-type diffraction patterns. The MA/PUL-MS showed higher V-type diffraction peak intensity as compared to other modified starches. Compared to the combination of commercial enzyme treatment, the combination of malt enzyme treatment led to higher apparent amylose contents (45.56%), RS content (53.93%) and thermal stability (302 °C), whereas it possessed lower solubility indices and predicted glycaemic index. The apparent viscosity and shear resistance of MA/PUL-MS were lower than that of AA/PUL-MS, whereas that of MA/PUL-MS was higher than that of BA/PUL-MS and BA/AA/PUL-MS. These findings would provide a theoretical and applicative basis to produce foods with lower GI in industrial production.

Abstract
Five rice cultivars were applied for investigating effect of milling degree on rice physicochemical properties. The first layer had the lowest peak viscosity, followed by the second and third layers, indicating the effect of non-starchy components on starch gelatinization behaviors. Consistently, more content of non-starch components in the first layer led to an enhanced gelatinization temperature. Rheological study demonstrated the G' and G" were successively increased as the layer moved inward, indicating a stronger gel network due to the increased amylose content and crystallinity in the corresponding layer. This is the first study to reveal the second layer has the highest digestibility, suggesting both non-starch components and starch structure control starch digestion. Furthermore, analysis of volatile compounds found alcohols and ketones concentrated in the first layer, whilst compounds including (E,E)-2,4-decadienal, 3-octanone and 3-nonen-2-one only existed in the second layer, serving as an indicator for managing the rice quality during milling.

Abstract
The effects of carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) on the pasting, rheological, and physical properties of yam starch (YS) were investigated. Different concentrations of CMCS were added to the YS, followed by heating paste treatment at 95 °C. Then the blends were subjected to the determination of physicochemical, rheological properties and in vitro digestibility. Our results showed that CMCS reduced the paste viscosity of YS and the addition of CMCS did not effectively inhibit the movement of water molecules. Rheological measurements results showed that YS-CMCS blends exhibited shear thinning behavior. Furthermore, because of the presence of amylose inhibited the swelling of the starch and leaching of amylose, the addition of CMCS had no significant difference between solubility and swelling power of YS.
