Shi J, Mao Y, Shi YC. Effects of crystallization temperature on structure and digestibility of spherulites formed from debranched high-amylose maize starch. Carbohydr Polym 2024; 342:122332. [PMID: 39048187 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.122332] [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: 01/27/2024] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
High-amylose maize starch (69.3 % amylose) was debranched to increase the level of linear molecules and enhance the formation of spherulites. Debranched high-amylose maize starch (25 %, w/w) was heated to 180 °C in a Parr reactor followed by crystallization at different temperatures between 25 and 150 °C. The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of crystallization temperature on the yield, morphology, structure, crystallinity, and digestibility of the spherulites formed. When the crystallization temperature was 150 °C, spherulites with negative birefringent sign were formed. High crystallization temperature caused molecular degradation and the degree of degradation was severe at 150 °C, resulting in relatively short chain amylose (DP < 150). When crystallized at 25 to 120 °C, spherulites with strong positive birefringence were produced. The long chain amylose was attributed to the positive birefringence. All spherulites had a predominant B-type crystalline structure. The spherulites with negative birefringence showed a lower degree of crystallinity and lower resistance to enzyme digestion, but all the spherulites with positive birefringence had a high resistant starch content (89-94 %). α-Amylase was not able to penetrate inside the spherulites as revealed by the confocal laser scanning microscopic images.

Production and characterization of recrystallized linear α-glucans at different temperatures for controllable thermostability and digestibility. Food Chem 2024; 448:139156.

Abstract
Molecular structure of linear α-glucans (LAGs) and crystallization temperature have great effects on the thermostability and digestibility of recrystallized LAGs, but the recrystallization behaviors of LAGs in response to temperature remain unclear. Here LAGs with different lengths were prepared from amylopectin via chain elongation and debranching. Recrystallization of LAGs at 4 °C yielded B-type crystalline structure with relative crystallinity ranged from 23.7% to 46.1%. With a chain length of 40.2, an A-type allomorph was observed for a slow recrystallization at 50 °C. Differential scanning calorimetry suggested that A-type crystal had a higher thermostability than the B-type crystal, and increasing LAGs' chain length improved the dimension of double helices, whose assembly produced starch crystallites that enhanced the thermostability and decreased the in vitro digestibility of recrystallized LAGs. An improved thermostability of recrystallized LAGs preserved their ordered structures and kept the resistance to digestive enzymes, with a RS content up to 75.4%.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 274:133439. [PMID: 38936585 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133439] [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: 02/15/2024] [Revised: 06/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 06/29/2024]
Abstract
This study aimed to enhance the resistance of bread to gastrointestinal digestion by partially substituting wheat flour with starch spherulites. Three types of starch spherulites, specifically A-type (exhibiting an A-type crystalline pattern with mostly positive birefringence), B(-)-type (B-type crystalline with negative birefringence), and B(+)-type (B-type crystalline with positive birefringence), were investigated. The A-, B(-)-, and B(+)-type spherulites showed significantly higher resistant starch contents of 63.5, 63.8, and 89.2 %, respectively, compared to the control wheat flour (7.4 %). The melting temperatures of A-type and B(+)-type spherulites were notably higher than those of the control wheat flour, suggesting the potential preservation of certain enzyme-resistant starch during the baking process. The partial substitution of wheat flour with spherulites resulted in a denser crumb structure, increased bread hardness and chewiness, and a pale brown color in the case of B(+)-type spherulite. However, these variations in physicochemical properties did not significantly impact consumer acceptability. Remarkably, in bread containing A- or B(+)-type spherulite, residual ordered spherulite structures were present after baking, as confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry. This resulted in significantly lower digestibility during in vitro gastrointestinal digestion. These findings are useful for the rational design of bread with sustained glucose release during gastrointestinal digestion.

Abstract
Starches are hydrolyzed into monosaccharides by mucosal α-glucosidases in the human small intestine. However, there are few studies assessing the direct digestion of starch by these enzymes. The objective of this study was to investigate the changes in the structure and enzyme binding of starches during in vitro hydrolysis by mammalian mucosal enzymes. Waxy maize (WMS), normal maize (NMS), high-amylose maize (HAMS), waxy potato (WPS), and normal potato (NPS) starches were examined. The order of the digestion rate was different compared with other studies using a mixture of pancreatic α-amylase and amyloglucosidase. NPS was digested more than other starches. WPS was more digestible than WMS. Hydrolyzed starch from NPS, NMS, WPS, WMS, and HAMS after 24 h was 66.4, 64.2, 61.7, 58.7, and 46.2 %, respectively. Notably, a significant change in the morphology, reduced crystallinity, and a decrease in the melting enthalpy of the three starches (NPS, NMS, and WPS) after 24 h of hydrolysis were confirmed by microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and differential scanning calorimetry, respectively. The bound enzyme fraction of NPS, NMS, and WPS increased as hydrolysis progressed. In contrast, HAMS was most resistant to hydrolysis by mucosal α-glucosidases in terms of digestibility, changes in morphology, crystallinity, and thermal properties.

Abstract
This study prepared resistant starch (RS) from waxy corn starch and normal corn starch and analyzed the effects of its molecular and microstructural characteristics on RS content. The RS content of waxy corn resistant starch (RS-WCS) was highest at 57.8%, whereas that of normal corn resistant starch (RS-NCS) was 41.46%. The short-chain amylose contents of RS-WCS and RS-NCS were 47.08% and 37.24%, respectively, proportional to their RS content. Additionally, RS content positively correlated with crystallinity, short-range order degree, and degree of polymerization (DP), exceeding 25. Electron microscopic images, before and after enzymolysis, revealed that RS-WCS was hydrolyzed from the surface to the center by pancreatic α-amylase, while RS-NCS underwent simultaneous hydrolysis at the surface and center. These results indicate that the higher RS content in RS-WCS, compared to RS-NCS, is attributable to the synergistic effects of molecular structure and microstructure.

Effect of Ball-Milling on Starch Crystalline Structure, Gelatinization Temperature, and Rheological Properties: Towards Enhanced Utilization in Thermosensitive Systems. Foods 2023; 12:2924. [PMID: 37569193 PMCID: PMC10417754 DOI: 10.3390/foods12152924] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2023] [Revised: 07/10/2023] [Accepted: 07/28/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Starch's crystalline structure and gelatinization temperature might facilitate or hinder its use. Ball milling has frequently been mentioned in the literature as a method for reducing starch size and as a more environmentally friendly way to change starch, such as by increasing surface area and reactivity, which has an impact on other starch properties. In this study, starch samples were milled for varying durations (1, 5, 10, 20, and 30 h) and at different starch-to-ball mass ratios (1:6 and 1:20). Microscopy and XRD revealed that prolonged milling resulted in effective fragmentation and a decrease in crystallinity of the starch granules. Increasing milling times resulted in an increase in amylose content. Rheology and thermal studies revealed that gelatinization temperatures dropped with milling duration and that viscosity and thixotropy were directly influenced. The samples milled for 10, 20, and 30 h at a ratio of 1:20 were the most fragmented and upon drying formed a transparent film at ambient temperature, because of the lower gelatinization temperature. Starch ball milling could lead to the use of this material in thermosensitive systems.

Abstract
Starch is the most abundant glycemic carbohydrate in the human diet. Consumption of starch-rich food products that elicit high glycemic responses has been linked to the occurrence of noncommunicable diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus type II. Understanding the structural features that govern starch digestibility is a prerequisite for developing strategies to mitigate any negative health implications it may have. Here, we review the aspects of the fine molecular structure that in native, gelatinized, and gelled/retrograded starch directly impact its digestibility and thus human health. We next provide an informed guidance for lowering its digestibility by using specific enzymes tailoring its molecular and three-dimensional supramolecular structure. We finally discuss in vivo studies of the glycemic responses to enzymatically modified starches and relevant food applications. Overall, structure-digestibility relationships provide opportunities for targeted modification of starch during food production and improving the nutritional profile of starchy foods.
