Abstract: | A combined approach of fluorophore-assisted capillary electrophoresis (FACEL), high-sensitivity differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and light (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was applied to study the effects of changes in amylopectin chain-length distribution on the assembly structures of sweet potato starches with similar amylose levels. It was shown that unlike ordinary sweet potato starch, starch extracted from Quick Sweet cultivar of sweet potato had anomalous high level of amylopectin chains with a degree of polymerization (DP) 6–12. Joint analysis of the obtained data revealed that amylopectin chains with DP 10–24 are, apparently, the dominant material for the formation of supramolecular structures in starch granules. In contrast, amylopectin chains with DP < 10 facilitated the formation of defects within crystalline lamellae. An increase in relative content of amylopectin chains with DP < 10 is accompanied by the correlated structural alterations manifested at all levels of starch granule organization (crystalline lamellae, amylopectin clusters, semi-crystalline growth rings, and granule morphology). Thus, the short amylopectin chains with DP < 10 were considered as an origin of the defectiveness in starch supramolecular structures. |
