Important roles of coarse particles in pasting and gelling performance of different pulse flours under high-temperature heating. Food Chem 2024; 447:138896. [PMID: 38458133 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.138896] [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: 12/05/2023] [Revised: 02/18/2024] [Accepted: 02/26/2024] [Indexed: 03/10/2024]
Abstract
Dehulled pea, lentil, and faba bean grains were milled into flours with 0.5- to 2.5-mm sieves. As the particle size decreased, damaged-starch contents of the flours from the same pulse crop increased. At a holding temperature of 95 °C in RVA, peak and final viscosities and gelling ability of the flours generally increased as the particle size decreased. When the holding temperature increased from 95 to 140 °C, pasting viscosities of pea and lentil flours and gel hardness of lentil flours gradually decreased. In contrast, pasting viscosities and gel hardness of faba bean flours reached the highest values at 120 °C. The comparison of the pulse flours varying in particle size across the three market classes revealed that coarse particles comprising agglomerated starch, protein, and dietary fiber (i.e., particles of the second peak in the bimodal particle-size distribution curves) showed significant correlations with certain important functional properties of pulse flours.

Pasting properties of A- and B-type wheat starch granules and annealed starches in relation to swelling and solubility. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 261:129738. [PMID: 38281524 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.129738] [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: 11/25/2023] [Revised: 01/13/2024] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 01/30/2024]
Abstract
Wheat starch contains two distinct groups of granules, A-type and B-type, which have different compositions and properties. The aim of this study was to investigate the differences in pasting properties of A- and B-type wheat starch granules and their annealed starches, and to relate them to swelling properties and solubility. A- and B-type wheat starch granules were fractionated. The differences in pasting properties between A- and B-type wheat starch granules depended on starch solids content. The A-type starch had a higher pasting viscosity at ≥8 % solids content, but the trend was reversed at a lower solids content (5 %). This cross-over phenomenon in the pasting viscosity can be explained because A-type wheat starch granules have more starch molecules leached out, while swelled less at high temperatures and are probably more rigid than B-type wheat starch granules. This is the first study to show the cross-over in the pasting viscosity-starch concentration between A-type and B-type wheat starches and that B-type wheat starch has higher pasting viscosity than A-type at a low solids content. When annealed in warm water, both annealed A- and B-type wheat starch granules had higher pasting viscosities than untreated counterparts by altering the swelling of starch.

Abstract
The comprehensive understanding of multi-scale structure of starch and how the structure regulates the pasting/digestion properties remain unclear. This work investigated the effects of γ-ray irradiation with different doses on multi-scale structure and pasting/digestion properties of potato starch. Results indicated that γ-ray at lower doses (<20 kGy) had little effect on micromorphology of starch, increased mainly the amylose content and the thickness of amorphous region while decreased crystallinity, double helix content and lamellar ordering. With the increase of dose, the internal structure of large granules was destroyed, resulting in the depolymerization of starch to form more short-chains and to reduce molecular weight. Meanwhile, amylose content decreased due to the depolymerization of amylose. The enhanced double helix content, crystallinity, lamellar ordering and structural compactness manifested the formation of the thicker and denser starch structure. These structure changes resulted in the decreased viscosity, the increased stability and anti- digestibility of paste.

Impact of granule-associated lipid removal on the property changes of octenylsuccinylated small-granule starches. Carbohydr Polym 2024; 323:121448.

Abstract
Starch granule associated lipids (GALs) are known to alter the properties and functions of small granule starches. To test the hypothesis that the removal GALs from small granule starches could increase the overall reactive surface and improve octenyl-succinylation (OSA) modification efficiency, four small granules starches from rice, oat, quinoa, amaranth and a waxy maize starch were subjected to defat, OSA esterification and combined defatted and OSA treatment. The combined treatment showed a significant improvement in the degree of substitution for all starches from both tritration and 1H NMR methodologies. Confocal microscopy revealed a more uniform distribution of OSA groups on the starch surface. After GALs removal, the bimodal granule size distribution was diminished but reappeared during OSA modification. Pasting viscosity increased for the OSA and GALs removed quinoa, waxy maize and amaranth starches, but it decreased on modified rice and oat starches. OSA treatment alone significantly altered the gelling and rheological properties towards a more soft and less stable starch structure. The combined treatment compensated these changes to some extent and filled the property gap between the native and OSA modified starches. This study demonstrated that removing GALs can achieve more profound OSA derivatization.

Effect of purple red rice bran anthocyanins on pasting, rheological and gelling properties of rice starch. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 247:125689.

Abstract
Purple red rice bran (PRRBA), a by-product of the rice polishing process, is frequently thrown away, resulting in a waste of resources. This study investigated the effects of PRRBA on the pasting, rheological property, chemical structure, microstructure, and water migration of rice starch. The results demonstrated that the peak viscosity (PV), final viscosity (FV), and activation energy (retrogradation energy) of rice starch were all decreased by a dose of PRRBA. Furthermore, the gel strength and hardness of rice starch were positively correlated with the addition of PRRBA. Rice starchs particle size distribution can be improved by PRRBA, which may be a result of the non-covalent bonds that exist between PRRBA and rice starch. The addition of PRRBA resulted in a decrease in the spin relaxation time (T2) of rice starch, from 259.7 to 143.6 ms. This can be attributed to that PRRBA improved the water-holding capacity of rice starch. These results could contribute to the development of high-value-added products of PRRBA and facilitate the application of anthocyanins in starch-based foods.

Abstract
Quinoa is a pseudo-cereal with great nutritional and functional qualities, serving as an excellent substitution to develop quinoa-containing foods. This study aimed to explore the influence of quinoa flour substitution on quality characteristics of wheat flour (WF). WF was substituted with different level of quinoa core flour, ground quinoa whole flour and recombined quinoa whole flour. Increasing levels of quinoa flour in WF declined dough swelling index, while increased falling number of composite flours. Besides, quinoa flour substitution considerably decreased the chemical forces of gluten in composite flours. The proportions α-helix and β-sheets reduced, while the random coil proportion increased in gluten secondary structure. SEM images revealed that the gluten network structure was severely damaged. Our findings indicated that substitution of WF with quinoa flours was promising to be developed as an ingredient for food products.

Abstract
The influences of sodium chloride (NaCl)/sucrose on starch properties as affected by starch structural characteristics are little understood. In this study, the effects were observed in relation to the chain length distribution (from size exclusion chromatography) and granular packing (inferred through morphological observation and determination of swelling factor and paste transmittance) of starches. Adding NaCl/sucrose dramatically delayed the gelatinization of starch that had a high ratio of short-to-long amylopectin chains and had loose granular packing. The effects of NaCl on the viscoelasticity of gelatinizing starch were related to the flexibility of amylopectin internal structure. Effects of NaCl/sucrose on starch retrogradation varied with starch structure, co-solute concentration, and analytical method. The co-solute-induced changes in retrogradation were highly associated with amylose chain length distribution. Sucrose strengthened the weak network formed by short amylose chains, while the effect was not significant on amylose chains that were capable of forming strong networks.

Abstract
Current understanding of physicochemical properties of lotus seed starch (LS) is scarce partly due to its largely unknown molecular structure. This study compared the physicochemical and molecular characteristics of LSs of a wide collection to those of conventional starches (potato (PS) and maize starches (MS)). Variations were found in the chemical composition, physicochemical properties, and molecular structure of LSs. Amylose content and weight-based ratio of short to long chains of amylopectin (APS:APL) were principal factors affecting the physicochemical properties of LSs from different origins. Compared with PS and MS, LSs had higher gelatinization temperatures, lower amylose leaching, and faster retrogradation. These unique properties of LSs were related to their molecular structure and chemical composition. LSs had higher amylose contents than PS and MS as evaluated by various methods. A majority of amylose chains in LS were longer than those in MS but were shorter than those in PS. The APS:APL of LSs were higher than that of MS but lower than that of PS. The results provided a structural basis for understanding the properties of LS and suggested that this unconventional starch may be complementary to conventional starches for industrial applications.

Abstract
Biotransformation is an effective technique to modify the structure and physicochemical properties of carbohydrates. In this work, Chinese yam (Dioscorea opposita Thunb.) starch was fermented by lactobacteria. The effect of fermentation time (6, 12, 30, 42 and 72 h) on structure and physicochemical properties of Chinese yam starch were investigated. The microstructure was destroyed after lactobacteria fermentation for 42 and 72 h. The X-ray diffraction pattern of Chinese yam starch indicated a transformed A to A + V crystalline type. → 4)-α-d-glucose-(1 → from backbone and unreduced terminal α-d-glucose-(1 → 4 from branch were identified by NMR spectra, and free glucose was only detected in fermented starch at 72 h. With the extension of fermentation time, the crystallinity and thermal parameters increased within 42 h and thereafter decreased. Mw, Mw/Mn, long chains of DP25-36 and DP ≥ 37, peak viscosity, trough viscosity, finally viscosity and setback presented a reverse trend.

Abstract
Compared with three major cereals, underutilized cereals (UCs) are those with less use but having abundant bioactive components and better functionalities after proper processing. As a productive and energy-efficient technology, extrusion has been used for UC modification to improve its technological and nutritional quality. Extrusion could induce structural and quantitative changes in chemical components of UC flour, the degree of which is affected by extrusion intensity. Based on the predominant component (starch), functionalities of extruded underutilized cereal flour (EUCF) and potential mechanisms are reviewed. Considering bioactive compounds, it also summarizes the physiological functions of EUCF. EUCF incorporation could modulate the dough rheological behavior and starchy foods quality. Controlling extrusion intensity or incorporation level of EUCF is vital to achieve sensory-appealing and nutritious products. This paper gives comprehensive information of EUCF to promote its utilization in novel staple foods.

Abstract
To improve the pasting and gelling behaviors of waxy maize starch, an aqueous dispersion with or without xanthan gum was subjected to partial gelatinization (5 ℃ above the onset melting temperature of starch) and freeze-thawing treatment. After the treatments, starch granules were slightly deformed, with partial loss of birefringence, and tended to aggregate. The relative crystallinity and thermal stability of waxy maize starch crystals decreased by the treatments. These changes indicated that the treatment affected the inner structure and chain arrangement of the granules. The treated waxy maize starches, however, showed a higher overall pasting viscosity with shorter and more cohesive pastes than that of the native starch. The treated starches formed rigid gels with increased stability against freeze-thawing. The addition of small amounts of xanthan gum enhanced the effects of the treatments.

Abstract
Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn., Eleocharis dulcis, Sagittaria sagittifolia L., and Trapa bispinosa Roxb. are common aquatic vegetables that are rich in starch. Starches from these four aquatic vegetables and their applications in edible films were studied to facilitate full use of starch resources. Significant differences in transparency, freeze-thaw stability, water solubility index, swelling power, water and oil absorption capacities, starch particle morphology, and rheology were observed among the starches from these four aquatic vegetables. All starches exhibited a typical "A" type diffraction pattern. N. nucifera, E. dulcis, and S. sagittifolia starches have similar thermal properties, while T. bispinosa starch has a higher gelatinization temperature. S. sagittifolia starch film has the highest transparency and lower WVP and water solubility. These results will promote the development of products based on starch obtained from aquatic vegetables.

Abstract
Two different pearling degrees of wheat kernels (lightly-pearled: 14.4% and heavily-pearled: 38.9%) and un-pearled kernels were treated with ozone and evaluated for flour compositions and properties. Ozonation did not change main compositions and damaged starch content of three kernels' flours. Flour brightness of all three kernels was improved after ozone treatment. Ozonation enhanced the dough strength of the flours from un-pearled and pearled kernels and the effect elevated with increasing pearling degree. Ozone treatment increased the peak viscosity of flour and the level of increase in heavily-pearled kernels was greater than un-pearled and lightly-pearled. Ozonation resulted in an increase in the insoluble protein polymer content of heavily-pearled kernels' flour, but only had a slight effect on un-pearled lightly-pearled kernels. After ozone treatment, un-pearled and lightly-pearled kernels exhibited increases in molecular weight of starch, but heavily-pearled resulted in the opposite trend.

Abstract
Potato flour is used in bakery products, extruded products and snacks. However, it displays weaker gel strengths and thus the wholesome utility is curtailed significantly. To improve viscoelastic properties and stability of potato gels, herein potato flour was treated with laccase and peroxidase to create a protein network structure leading to stable gels. The results revealed that the secondary structure of potato proteins altered upon the enzyme treatment. The gels of peroxidase-treated potato flour (PPF) and laccase-treated potato flour (LPF) displayed larger anti-shear ability, thermal stability and stronger three-dimensional network structure compared to the native potato gel. The PPF and LPF gels exhibited stronger viscoelastic properties and structural stability compared to peroxidase-treated potato protein and laccase-treated potato protein gels. The outcome serves as a theoretical basis to improve the properties of potato gels and to promote the designing and the development of novel potato flour based functional food.

A combined action of amylose and amylopectin fine molecular structures in determining the starch pasting and retrogradation property. Int J Biol Macromol 2020; 164:2717-2725.

Abstract
Starch fine molecular structures are of essentially important in determining its pasting and retrogradation properties. In this study, 10 different starches from various botanical sources were selected to investigate the combined action of amylose and amylopectin molecules in determining the starch physicochemical properties. Correlation between starch structural parameters with the pasting and retrogradation properties showed that amylose and amylopectin CLDs do not affect these properties in isolation. Such as, the amount of amylose long chains and amylopectin short chains are both positively correlated with the melting temperatures and enthalpy of retrograded starches. Furthermore, relatively longer amylose short to medium chains can result in higher trough and breakdown viscosity, while higher amount of amylopectin medium to long chains result in higher peak viscosity. The results help a better understanding of the importance of amylose and amylopectin fine molecular structures in determining starch functional properties.

Abstract
Understanding starch structure-property relationship is important for the development of new generation of starch-based foods with desirable functions. Recent developments of methodologies on the characterisation of starch molecular structures, especially how to parameterize the starch chain-length distribution (CLD) by few biologically meaningful parameters have brought new insights to explain starch physicochemical properties from molecular levels. Especially, it has shown that gelatinization temperatures are largely controlled by amylopectin short chains, while the retrogradation rate of starch molecules is controlled by amylose content, amylose short to medium chains, amylopectin external and internal chain length. Starch pasting and digestion properties are also controlled to a significant extent by its CLD. With extensive discussion of correlative and casual relations between starch CLD with its physicochemical properties, this review aims to establish a holistic starch structure-property relationship. It enables food producers to develop functional foods based on a precise understanding of starch structure-property relations.

Abstract
In this study, starches were isolated from different non-conventional sources (acorn, black wheat, buckwheat, coix seed, jiaoyu, kuzhu, longya lily, and naked oat) cultivated in China, and their morphological, physico-chemical, and functional properties were analyzed. Among isolated starches, significant differences (p < 0.05) were observed in morphology, pasting, crystallinity, physico-chemical, and functional properties. After a comparison with commercial corn starch, all these isolated starches presented promising and unique characteristics. The XRD profile of isolated starches presented A-type (naked oat, buckwheat, coix seed, and black wheat), B-type (longya lily, acorn and jiaoyu) and C-type (kuzhu) polymorphic structures. SEM analysis revealed that the starches isolated from different sources showed distinct shapes exclusively globular, elliptic, and polygonal shapes. The high viscosity of jiaoyu and kuzhu starch pastes can be utilized to have an advantage in instant soups and sauces. Hence, the present study will improve the scientific basis on starches from different non-conventional sources, facilitate their utilization in a variety of applications.

Abstract
Native buckwheat starch was extracted and modified by heat-moisture treatment (HMT) with different treatment time (15, 30 and 45 min) to investigate its effect on physicochemical, morphological, functional properties, starch profile (rapidly digestible starch, RDS; slowly digestible starch, SDS and resistant starch, RS fractions) and expected glycemic index (eGI). Results revealed that with increasing time duration of HMT from 15 to 45 min, amylose content, pasting temperature and thermostability increased substantially whereas swelling power, solubility and viscosity parameters decreased. The SEM micrographs showed that HMT caused fissures in the granule and surface indentation. HMT-45 (starch treated for 45 min) had the lowest RDS content (29.33%) and the highest SDS (51.30%) and RS (8.21%) levels. The decreased hydrolysis rate, high amylose and RS content of HMT-45 resulted in a significant decrease in estimated glycemic index (eGI) values from 51.49% (Native) to 44.16% (HMT-45) thus indicating its role in prevention of non-insulin- dependent diabetes.

The effect of the treatment on physical, chemical, morphological, thermal, pasting and gelling properties of native and modified starches were evaluated during the study. The results showed that the enthalpies of the HMT and the CAT samples along with the onset, peak, and conclusion temperatures of gelatinization were increased. The FTIR analysis revealed that HMT and CAT increased the degree of order and the degree of the double helix of the NLS. The gel elasticity and the adhesiveness of the HMT and the CAT starches were also greater than the NLS starch samples. The developed modified starches could be used for enhancement of different functional properties for applying as gelling, thickening, stabilizing and filling agents for developing starch-based food formulations.

Genetic diversity and stability in starch physicochemical property traits of potato breeding lines. Food Chem 2019; 290:201-207. [PMID: 31000038 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2019.03.130] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2019] [Revised: 03/22/2019] [Accepted: 03/24/2019] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
Cross breeding may create wider genetic variation than two parents used in hybridization, but breeding efforts towards starch quality improvement are less reported in potato. A cross was made between Zhongshu-3 and Favorita to select desired starch properties in progenies. Among 206 F1 clones with potential high yield, starch qualities such as apparent amylose content (AAC), pasting viscosity, and thermal properties were further evaluated. A wide variation was observed in different starch physicochemical indices for 206 potato accessions. Twenty clones with high/low AAC, peak viscosity and peak gelatinization temperature were selected and then grown at another location to evaluate the stability of the traits. Similar wide range of variation in the starch properties was observed. Cluster analysis based on starch properties of the 20 selected clones indicating relative stability of the starch property traits across different locations. New breeding lines identified have potential for application in food and other industries.

Co-expression of high-molecular-weight glutenin subunit 1Ax1 and Puroindoline a (Pina) genes in transgenic durum wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. durum) improves milling and pasting quality. BMC PLANT BIOLOGY 2019; 19:126. [PMID: 30947699 PMCID: PMC6449967 DOI: 10.1186/s12870-019-1734-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2018] [Accepted: 03/20/2019] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Durum wheat is considered not suitable for making many food products that bread wheat can. This limitation is largely due to: (i) lack of grain-hardness controlling genes (Puroindoline a and b) and consequently extremely-hard kernel; (ii) lack of high- and low-molecular-weight glutenin subunit loci (Glu-D1 and Glu-D3) that contribute to gluten strength. To improve food processing quality of durum wheat, we stacked transgenic Pina and HMW-glutenin subunit 1Ax1 in durum wheat and developed lines with medium-hard kernel texture. RESULTS Here, we demonstrated that co-expression of Pina + 1Ax1 in durum wheat did not affect the milling performance that was enhanced by Pina expression. While stacking of Pina + 1Ax1 led to increased flour yield, finer flour particles and decreased starch damage compared to the control lines. Interestingly, Pina and 1Ax1 co-expression showed synergistic effects on the pasting attribute peak viscosity. Moreover, Pina and 1Ax1 co-expression suggests that PINA impacts gluten aggregation via interaction with gluten protein matrix. CONCLUSIONS The results herein may fill the gap of grain hardness between extremely-hard durum wheat and the soft kernel durum wheat, the latter of which has been developed recently. Our results may also serve as a proof of concept that stacking Puroindolines and other genes contributing to wheat end-use quality from the A and/or D genomes could improve the above-mentioned bottleneck traits of durum wheat and help to expand its culinary uses.

Reaction pattern differences impact physical properties of starches derivatized to the same extent in a model cross-linking system. Carbohydr Polym 2017; 174:772-779. [PMID: 28821130 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2017.07.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2017] [Revised: 06/30/2017] [Accepted: 07/02/2017] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
This study investigated the physical properties of maize (MS) and wheat (WS) starches derivatized with 5-(4,6-dichlorotriazinyl)aminofluorescein (model cross-linking system) to have the same overall fluorescence intensity on starch molecules, but reacted either more uniformly throughout granules (UD) or more at granule surfaces (SD). Both MS and WS derivatives had lower swelling powers (SP) at 90°C than their respective native starches. The UD derivatives had lower SP (90°C) and greater retrogradation enthalpies than did SD derivatives, consistent with their lower peak and higher setback pasting viscosities. Also, SD starches were less soluble and retained a greater degree of granular integrity than UD starches in time-lapse, hot-stage light microscopy studies (50-95°C), likely due to a greater concentration of cross-links at the granule surface. The results confirm that derivatization patterns impact the physical properties of modified starches. Thus, varying derivatization patterns can be a strategy to tailor modified starch properties.
