不同高粱品系的淀粉糊化特征

利用差示扫描量热分析仪(DSC)和淀粉快速黏度分析仪(RVA)测定了14个高粱(Sorghum bicolor)品系的直链淀粉含量和淀粉糊化特性参数, 并分析了各特征参数的变化规律及其相互关系。研究结果表明, 高粱品系间直链淀粉含量存在较大差异, 变幅为0.29%–29.45%; DSC分析所得糊化特性也表现出一定的差异, 直链淀粉含量低的高粱品系的起始温度(T_o)、峰值温度(T_p)、终止温度(T_c)和热焓变化(ΔH)都较高; 而直链淀粉含量高的高粱品系的T_o、T_p、T_c和ΔH都相对较低。不同品系的RVA谱差异主要表现在各个黏滞性特征值上, 直链淀粉含量低的高粱品系的RVA谱具有较高的峰值黏度和最高的消减值; 而直链淀粉含量高的高粱品系具有较低的峰值黏度。相关分析表明, 直链淀粉含量和膨胀势与其它特征值间的相关性均达显著水平; 峰值黏度(PV)与最终黏度(FV)、回冷恢复值、糊化时间和糊化温度间呈极显著负相关, 与崩解值和消减值则呈极显著正相关。将直链淀粉含量的选择与RVA谱测定相结合, 有助于提高选择的准确率,进而为高粱品质改良和育种提供理论依据。

分析了籼型高直链淀粉恢复系CG133R与糯性爪哇稻22号杂交衍生的F2群体的蒸煮品质变异及其与淀粉粘滞性特征间的相关性,以及F2群体颗粒结合淀粉合成酶(Wxa基因)和可溶性淀粉合成酶(SSⅡ-3基因)主效基因的遗传。结果表明:蒸煮品质指标和RVA谱特征值在F2群体中广泛分离,其中变异最大的是消减值,其次为胶稠度、直链淀粉含量。高直链淀粉材料各理化指标与RVA谱特征值的相关性不显著;RVA谱特征值在中、低直链淀粉含量和糯稻群体中与各理化指标存在显著或极显著相关;在中、低直链淀粉材料中,RVA谱特征值与糊化温度(GT)也存在显著或极显著相关。用Wxa基因和SSⅡ-3基因的分子标记检测到这两个基因在F2群体中存在偏分离,分别指向两个亲本类型。除高直链淀粉材料外,可以通过RVA谱特征值来辅助筛选优质水稻品种。     

臭氧胁迫对稻穗不同部位糙米直链淀粉含量和RVA谱特征值的影响

近地层臭氧浓度升高使水稻产量下降,但臭氧胁迫对稻米品质的影响及其强弱势粒差异尚不清楚.本研究以8个不同类型水稻品种为供试材料,利用自然光气体熏蒸平台,设置对照(9 nL·L^-1)和高浓度臭氧(约100 nL·L^-1)处理,研究臭氧胁迫对稻穗不同部位糙米直链淀粉含量和RVA谱特征值的影响.结果表明: 与对照相比,臭氧处理使糙米直链淀粉含量、最高粘度、热浆粘度、崩解值和冷胶粘度分别下降5.9%、7.6%、5.9%、11.6%、2.9%,消减值和糊化温度分别增加24.9%和1.0%,均达显著水平.稻米直链淀粉含量和所有RVA特征参数的品种间差异均达极显著水平.稻穗不同部位稻米直链淀粉含量、最高粘度、热浆粘度、崩解值、冷胶粘度从大到小依次为强势粒>中势粒>弱势粒,消减值则表现相反.绝大多数情形下,臭氧与年度或臭氧与品种间的互作对稻米直链淀粉含量和RVA谱的影响达显著水平;尽管稻米RVA特征值对臭氧胁迫的响应多表现为稻穗上部略小于中部和下部,但臭氧与部位间的互作均未达显著水平.表明中等强度的臭氧胁迫使水稻食味品质明显变劣,变劣的程度因生长季和供试品种而异,籽粒着生位置受臭氧胁迫的影响较弱.     

水稻储藏过程中淀粉黏度特性的变化

对水稻淀粉黏度特性特征值测定的统计分析表明：在避光自然温度储藏期间,不同类型稻谷淀粉黏度特征值均有明显的变化,各特征值在储藏1～5个月内变化较小,而6～7个月期间变化较大,大部分特征值变化差异达到显著或极显著水平。不同类型稻谷在储藏期间黏度特征值发生明显差异的时间点不同,粳糯类水稻品种在储藏期间发生明显差异的时间点明显早于粳稻和籼稻类。储藏时间与淀粉黏度特征值优化方程建立结果显示：与籼稻类品质变化关系密切的主要特征值为最高黏度（PKV）、崩解值（BDV）和峰值时间（PeT）,粳稻类为热浆黏度（HPV）、冷胶黏度（CPV）和回复值（CSV）,而粳糯类为PKV、BDV、CSV和起浆温度（PAT）。研究结果表明,通过RVA谱主要特征值来评价不同类型水稻品种稻谷耐储藏性具有可行性。

通过测定黄淮麦区2年度3试点13个小麦区试品种糊化特性(RVA)参数及其它主要品质性状,研究了小麦RVA参数稳定性及其与其它主要品质性状间的关系.结果表明:基因型对峰值粘度、保持粘度、稀懈值、最终粘度、回升值起主导作用,环境对糊化温度和峰值时间影响较大.峰值粘度、保持粘度、最终粘度在品种间变幅较大,分别为2 055.50 cp～3 935.50 cp、1 046.42 cp～2 589.00 cp和2 412.00 cp～4 341.50 cp,峰值粘度、保持粘度、稀懈值的变异系数较高,分别为10.74 %、12.17 %、21.25 %.除峰值时间外,其它RVA参数品种间差异极显著.峰值粘度与保持粘度、稀懈值、最终粘度及回升值间极显著正相关.峰值粘度、保持粘度、最终粘度、回升值与蛋白质含量、湿面筋含量和Zeleny沉降值间极显著负相关.同时依据RVA参数对参试品种进行了聚类分析.峰值粘度可作为衡量小麦淀粉特性的最重要指标,由于品种间淀粉品质差异大,因此品种选育过程中应同时注重蛋白质和淀粉品质.     

拔节期追氮对不同季节糯玉米淀粉糊化特性的影响

明确基因型、生长环境和栽培措施对糯玉米淀粉糊化特性的影响可以调控淀粉品质。以垦粘1号、苏玉糯1号和苏玉糯5号为材料,研究了拔节期追氮量(0、150kghm-2和300kghm-2)对春季和秋季淀粉糊化特性的影响。结果表明:生长季节对淀粉糊化特性的影响大于基因型和拔节期追氮处理。秋季生长条件下的糯玉米淀粉具有较高的峰值黏度、谷值黏度、崩解值和终值黏度;拔节期适量追氮处理下糯玉米淀粉糊化特性较不追氮差异较小,但过量追氮峰值黏度和崩解值下降,糊化温度升高。相关分析表明,峰值黏度和谷值黏度、崩解值和终值黏度呈显著或极显著正相关,且峰值黏度、崩解值和峰值时间以及糊化温度呈显著或极显著负相关。以垦粘1号为材料,春季条件下生长并拔节期追施氮300kghm-2,秋季条件下生长并拔节期追施氮150kghm-2,淀粉的糊化特性较优,即具有较高的峰值黏度和崩解值。     

稻麦两熟地区机插水稻品质形成的播期效应

合理播期是机插稻实现高产、优质稻米生产的关键技术。本文研究了播期对粳型超级稻和籼粳交水稻机插方式下稻米品质形成特征的影响,为机插稻高产、优质稻米生产提供依据。结果表明:稻米糙米率、精米率、整精米率随播期推迟而升高,碾米品质变优,但早播稻糙米产量、精米产量、整精米产量显著高于晚播稻(P0.05);不同播期的稻米垩白粒率、垩白度变异较大,均随播期推迟而下降,早播与晚播间差异达显著水平(P0.05);外观品质改善,推迟播期,稻米直链淀粉含量降低,胶稠度变短,峰值黏度、热浆黏度、最终黏度、崩解值呈规律性下降,消减值变化幅度较大,逐渐升高,糊化温度波动较小,RVA谱变劣,稻米蒸煮食味品质变差;稻米蛋白质含量及蛋白质产量均随播期推迟而下降(P0.05),营养品质变差;机插粳稻适期早播,易取得高的糙米、精米、整精米及蛋白质产量,提升营养品质及蒸煮食味品质,改善米粉RVA谱特征,但降低稻米碾米品质和外观品质。因此,麦茬机插稻于5月26—31日播种,是实现较优品质稻米较高产量的最佳时期。     

Physicochemical and functional properties of starches from sorghum cultivated in the Sahara of Algeria

Pure starches were isolated from white and red sorghum cultivated in Tidikelt, a hyper arid region situated in south Algeria. Amylose content, X-ray pattern and rheological properties of starches were examined. The amylose content in white sorghum starch (27.1%) was slightly higher than that in red sorghum (24.8%). The swelling power and the solubility behavior of both starches were nearly similar below 65 °C. At higher temperatures, starch isolated from the white sorghum cultivar showed higher swelling power and lower solubility index than pigmented sorghum starch. The pasting properties of starches determined by RVA, Rapid Visco Analyser showed different viscosity peaks. Red sorghum starch had a higher value (4731 cP) than white sorghum starch (4093 cP). For both sorghum, X-ray diffractograms exhibit an A-type diffraction pattern, typical of cereal starches and the relative degrees of crystallinity were estimated at 22.72% and 28.91%, respectively, for local white and red sorghum starch. DSC analysis revealed that sorghum starches present higher temperatures at the peak (70.60 and 72.28 °C for white and red sorghum starches, respectively) and lower gelatinization enthalpies (9.087 and 8.270 J/g for white and red sorghum starches, respectively) than other cereal starches.The results showed that physicochemical and functional properties of sorghum cultivar starches were influenced by the genotype and the environment.     

Exploring the Use of Near Infrared (NIR) Reflectance Spectroscopy to Predict Starch Pasting Properties in Whole Grain Barley

This study aimed to evaluate the ability of using near infrared reflectance (NIR) spectroscopy to predict parameters generated by the rapid visco analyser (RVA) in whole grain barley samples to further study starch pasting characteristics in a breeding program. A total of 130 whole grain barley samples from the University of Adelaide germplasm collection, harvested over three seasons (2009, 2010 and 2011) were analysed using both NIR and RVA instruments and calibrations developed using partial least squares (PLS) regression. The coefficient of determination in cross validation (R ²) and the standard error in cross validation (SECV) were 0.88 [SECV?=?477.5 (RVU?=?rapid visco units)] for peak viscosity (PV), 0.82 (SECV?=?635.5 RVU) for trough (THR), 0.92 (SECV?=?190.4 RVU) for breakdown (BKD), 0.61 (SECV?=?151.1 RVU) for setback (SET), 0.84 (SECV?=?698.0 RVU) for final viscosity (FV), 0.70 (SECV?=?0.54 s) for time to peak (TTP) and 0.36 (SECV?=?2.2 min) for pasting temperature (PT). We have demonstrated that NIR spectroscopy shows promise as a rapid, non-destructive method to measure PV in whole grain barley. In this context, NIR spectroscopy has the potential to significantly reduce analytical time and cost for screening novel lines for starch properties for pasting properties.     

Architectural changes of heated mungbean, rice and cassava starch granules: Effects of hydrocolloids and protein-containing envelope

Architectural changes of starch granules induced by heat were demonstrated using light microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy. Heat treatment (80 °C, 30 min) on mungbean starch, cassava starch and rice flour suspensions resulted in the rearrangement of amylose and granule-associated proteins within the deformed granules. The presence of alginate and carrageenan influenced the RVA pasting characteristics of starch/flour-hydrocolloid mixed suspensions by maintaining the granular structure of amylose-rich swollen granules or inducing the aggregation of the swollen ones. Generally, the addition of hydrocolloid increased peak viscosity, lowered breakdown and reduced setback of the flour-hydrocolloid mixed paste. This study demonstrated that the heat treatment in excess water generated the protein-containing granule envelope encasing the mungbean and cassava starch content within the deformed granules.     

Effects of Shading on Starch Pasting Characteristics of Indica Hybrid Rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Rice is an important staple crop throughout the world, but environmental stress like low-light conditions can negatively impact crop yield and quality. Using pot experiments and field experiments, we studied the effects of shading on starch pasting viscosity and starch content with six rice varieties for three years, using the Rapid Visco Analyser to measure starch pasting viscosity. Shading at different growth stages and in different rice varieties all affected the starch pasting characteristics of rice. The effects of shading on starch pasting viscosity at middle and later growth stages were greater than those at earlier stages. Shading enhanced breakdown but reduced hold viscosity and setback at tillering-elongation stage. Most pasting parameters changed significantly with shading after elongation stage. Furthermore, the responses of different varieties to shading differed markedly. The change scope of starch pasting viscosity in Dexiang 4103 was rather small after heading, while that in IIyou 498 and Gangyou 906 was small before heading. We observed clear tendencies in peak viscosity, breakdown, and pasting temperature of the five rice varieties with shading in 2010 and 2011. Correlation analysis indicated that the rice amylose content was negatively correlated with breakdown, but was positively correlated with setback. Based on our results, IIyou 498, Gangyou 906, and Dexiang 4103 had higher shade endurance, making these varieties most suitable for high-quality rice cultivation in low-light regions.     

Changes in morphological, thermal and pasting properties of yam (Dioscorea alata) starch during growth

This study was carried out in order to compare and establish the changes in physicochemical properties of starch from four different cultivars of yam at various stages of maturity during growth. The results showed that the starch content of the four yam tubers increased as growth progressed and were in the range of 70.5–85.3% on a dry basis. The shapes of the starch granules were round to oval or angular in the four yams and the size of starch granule increased with growth time ranging from 10 to 40 μm. The X-ray diffraction patterns could be classified as typical of B-type starch for the four cultivars of yam starch. The transition temperature of gelatinization of the four yam starches decreased during maturity. The RVA parameters suggested that yam starch paste showed a lower breakdown at an early harvest time. It appeared to be thermo-stable during heating but had a high setback after cooling, which might result in a tendency towards high retrogradation. The results for pasting behaviors showed that higher amylose content was associated with a lower pasting temperature and a higher peak viscosity in these starches.     

Physico-chemical and degradative properties of in-planta re-structured potato starch

Starch re-structured directly in potato tubers by antisense suppression of starch branching enzyme (SBE), granule bound starch synthase (GBSS) or glucan water dikinase (GWD) genes was studied with the aim at disclosing the effects on resulting physico-chemical and enzyme degradative properties. The starches were selected to provide a combined system with specific and extensive alterations in amylose and covalently esterified glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) contents. As an effect of the altered chemical composition of the starches their hydrothermal characteristics varied significantly. Despite of the extreme alterations in phosphate content, the amylose content had a major affect on swelling power, enthalpy for starch gelatinization and pasting parameters as assessed by Rapid Visco Analysis (RVA). However, a combined influence of the starch phosphate and long glucan chains as represented by high amylose or long amylopectin chain length was indicated by their positive correlation to the final viscosity and set back (RVA) demonstrating the formation of a highly hydrated and gel-forming system during re-structuring of the starch pastes. Clear inverse correlations between glucoamylase-catalyzed digestibility and amylopectin chain length and starch phosphate and lack of such correlation with amylose content indicates a combined structuring role of the phosphate groups and amylopectin chains on the starch glucan matrix.
