Abstract: | Interactions between starch, water and stable nitroxide radicals were studied by electron spin resonance. The motional properties of TEMPO, 4-(2-bromoacetamido) TEMPO (BrAcTEMPO), 5-DOXYL-stearic acid and 16-DOXYL-stearic acid probes as well as a label covalently attached to amylopectin were investigated in concentrated (10–50%) starch-water systems as a function of temperature, concentration of polymer and storage period. Compared with the free probes in solution, TEMPO and BrAcTEMPO showed slower tumbling rates in starch-water dispersions or gels, suggesting a higher microviscosity in the probe's environment. The spectra, however, remained motionally narrowed. In contrast, the three line spectra of the fatty acid probes in solution became highly anisotropic in the presence of starch. The results indicated that these probes were highly immobilized at room temperature by the starch granules or by the polysaccharide gel matrix. These interactions are weakened at elevated temperatures where the spectra revealed the presence of both motionally narrowed and motionally slowed spin populations. The nitroxide label on the amylopectin exhibited a much slower mobility than the corresponding free probe as well as being found to be more motionally sensitive to temperature changes; such motional behavior was interpreted as reflecting contributions from rotation of the label around the chain backbone as well as local segmental motion of the polymer chain itself. Starch gels doped with free probes or the spin labelled amylopectin displayed no change in the motion of the nitroxide group upon storage, i.e. the tumbling rates did not follow the time-dependent conformational changes associated with the retrogradation phenomenon. |
