For lintners with negligible amylose retrogradation, crystallinity related inversely to starch amylose content and, irrespective of starch source, incomplete removal of amorphous material was shown. The latter was more pronounced for B-type than for A-type starches. The two predominant lintner populations, with modal degrees of polymerization (DP) of 13-15 and 23-27, were best resolved for amylose-deficient and A-type starches. Results indicate a more specific hydrolysis of amorphous lamellae in such starches. Small-angle X-ray scattering showed a more intense 9-nm scattering peak for native amylose-deficient A-type starches than for their regular or B-type analogues. The experimental evidence indicates a lower contrasting density within the "crystalline" shells of the latter starches. A higher density in the amorphous lamellae, envisaged by the lamellar helical model, explains the relative acid resistance of linear amylopectin chains with DP > 20, observed in lintners of B-type starches. Because amylopectin chain length distributions were similar for regular and amylose-deficient starches of the same crystal type, we deduce that the more dense (and ordered) packing of double helices into lamellar structures in amylose-deficient starches is due to a different amylopectin branching pattern. 相似文献

The effect of alkaline treatment on the ultrastructure of C-type starch granules was investigated during the alkaline extraction of Araucaria angustifolia (pinhao) starch. The efficiency in protein removal was evaluated using intrinsic fluorescence and Kjeldahl's method. In parallel, morphological changes of starch granules were observed using scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. The starch crystallinity was monitored by wide-angle X-ray scattering and the lamellar structure was studied by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The paracrystalline model was employed to interpret the SAXS curves. It was found that the granular organization was significantly altered when alkaline solutions were used during the extraction. A partial degradation of B-type allomorph of starch and a significant compression of semicrystalline growth rings were observed. 相似文献

Native cereal starches are ideal slowly digestible starches (SDS), and the structural basis for their slow digestion property was investigated. The shape, size, surface pores and channels, and degree of crystallinity of starch granules were not related to the proportion of SDS, while semicrystalline structure was critical to the slow digestion property as evidenced by loss of SDS after cooking. The high proportion of SDS in cereal starches, as compared to potato starch, was related to their A-type crystalline structure with a lower degree of perfection as indicated by a higher amount of shortest A chains with a degree of polymerization (DP) of 5-10. The A-type amorphous lamellae, an important component of crystalline regions of native cereal starches, also affect the amount of SDS as shown by a reduction of SDS in lintnerized maize starches. These observations demonstrate that the supramolecular A-type crystalline structure, including the distribution and perfection of crystalline regions (both crystalline and amorphous lamellae), determines the slow digestion property of native cereal starches. 相似文献

SANS study of the distribution of water within starch granules 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
This study describes contrast variation small angle neutron scattering (SANS) experiments which focus on the role which the intra-granular room temperature distribution of water and carbohydrate plays in determining the native structure and subsequent functionality of starch. It is shown that variations in botanical origin and amylose content do not correlate with significant differences in room temperature composition of A-type starch granules. In turn, variations in the gelatinisation behaviour of A-type starches do not correlate with variations in room temperature water distribution. In contrast, the room temperature water content is found to differ significantly between granules of potato (B-type) and a range of A-type starch cultivars. A correlation is found between these compositional differences and variations in crystal structure, which has implications for biological growth conditions and gelatinisation behaviour. 相似文献

The gelatinization of waxy rice, regular rice, and potato starch suspensions (66% w/w moisture) was investigated by real-time small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) during heating and by fast ramp differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The high-angle tail of the SAXS patterns suggested the transition from surface to mass fractal structures in the DSC gelatinization range. Amylose plays a major role in determining the dimensions of the self-similar structures that develop during this process as the characteristic power-law scattering behavior extends to lower scattering angles for regular than for waxy starches. Crystallinity of A-type starches is lost in the temperature region roughly corresponding to the DSC gelatinization range. At the end of the gelatinization endotherm, the B-type potato starch showed residual crystallinity (WAXD), while SAXS-patterns exhibited features of remaining lamellar stacks. Results indicate that the melting of amylopectin crystallites during gelatinization is accompanied by the (exothermic) formation of amorphous networks. 相似文献

Wheat and potato starches were hydrolysed with 2·2 n hydrochloric acid at 35°C for a period of time up to 15 days. The residues (lintnerised starches) were washed and freeze dried, and studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS), small-angle light scattering (SALS), small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). These techniques showed that profound changes took place in the first day of hydrolysis (during which time the extent of hydrolysis was 7·7% for potato starch and 12·5% for wheat starch). In particular, the gelatinisation enthalpy (ΔH) decreased, the X-ray crystallinity increased and the SANS and SAXS peaks (indicative of a regular spacing between crystalline and amorphous regions) virtually disappeared. The reduction in ΔH is surprising and is discussed at length. It was also shown that freeze drying results in a considerable lowering of the gelatinisation temperature of potato starch (and also of ΔH) while that of wheat starch is only slightly affected. 相似文献

Slow digestion property of native cereal starches 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
The slow digestion property of native cereal starches, represented by normal maize starch, was investigated. The in vitro Englyst test showed that 53.0% of the maize starch is slowly digestible starch (SDS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that SDS starts from an increase of pore size until almost complete fragmentation of starch granules. However, similar amounts of SDS ( approximately 50%) were shown for partially digested fragmented starch residuals, which would normally be considered resistant to digestion based on the Englyst assay. Molecularly, both amylopectin (AP) and amylose (AM) contributed to the amount of SDS as evidenced by a similar ratio of AP to AM at different digestion times. Consistently, similar degrees of crystallinity, comparable gelatinization behavior, and similar debranched profiles of starch residuals following different digestion times indicated that the crystalline and amorphous regions of starch granules were evenly digested through a mechanism of side-by-side digestion of concentric layers of semicrystalline shells of native starch granules. 相似文献

The microscopic distribution and dynamic state of water in native potato, maize and pea starch granules are investigated with NMR relaxometry and diffusometry. Besides extra-granular water, three water populations can be identified inside native potato starch granules. These are assigned to water in the amorphous growth rings; water in the semi-crystalline lamellae and “channel water”, which is located in the hexagonal channels within the B-type amylopectin crystals. The first two water populations are orientationally disordered and exchange with each other on a millisecond timescale at 290 K. NMR diffusometry shows that the water in packed granule beds is undergoing translational diffusion in a 2-dimensional space, either in thin layers between granules and/or in amorphous growth rings within the granules. The “channel water” is uniquely characterised by a 1 kHz deuterium doublet splitting and is in slow exchange with water in the other compartments on the NMR timescale. In the smaller maize granules all intra-granular water populations are in fast exchange and there is no evidence for “channel water” in the A-type crystal lattice. The NMR water proton and deuterium data for pea starch are consistent with a composite A and B-type crystal structure. 相似文献

Five wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) starches, from the varieties Sunco, Sunsoft, SM1118, and SM1028, with similar amylose content, and a waxy wheat were separated into large (A) and small (B) granules. The unfractionated starches, and isolated A and B granules, were characterized structurally and evaluated for their functional properties. The amylopectin chain length distribution revealed that A granules had a lower proportion of short chains with degree of polymerization (DP) 6-12 and a higher proportion of chains with DP 25-36 than B granules. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns showed predominantly A-type crystallinity for all of the starches. No differences in the crystallinity were found between unfractionated, A and B granules. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) patterns of the starches at 55% hydration showed that the lamellar repeat distance in A granules was larger than that of B granules for all the starches examined. However, the lamellar distances of both A and B granules from the waxy wheat were smaller than those of Sunco, Sunsoft, SM1118 and SM1028 starches. The swelling power of the B granules was greater than that of A granules from all five starches. The kinetics of digestion of A and B granules with α-amylase in vitro were complex, with B granules initially digested to a greater extent than A granules. After 4 h of incubation, A granules showed greater digestibility than B granules, except in the case of waxy starch where unfractionated and fractionated granules had similar in vitro digestibility. Correlations between structural and functional parameters were more significant for the isolated A and B granules than for the unfractionated starches. This study demonstrates that A and B granules differ in structure and functionality, and that some correlations between these properties could be masked in unfractionated starches with bimodal granule size distribution. 相似文献

Rice flour (18-25% moisture) and potato starch (20% moisture) were heated with continuous recording of the X-ray scattering during gelatinization. Rice flours displayed A-type crystallinity, which gradually decreased during gelatinization. The development of the characteristic 9 nm small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) peak during heating at sub-gelatinization temperatures indicated the gradual evolution into a stacked lamellar system. At higher temperatures, the crystalline and lamellar order was progressively lost. For potato starch (B-type crystallinity), no 9 nm SAXS peak was observed at ambient temperatures. Following the development of lamellar structures at sub-gelatinization temperatures, B-type crystallinity and lamellar order was lost during gelatinization. On cooling of partially gelatinized potato starch, A-type crystallinity steadily increased, but no formation of stacked lamellar structures was observed. Results were interpreted in terms of a high-temperature B- to A-type recrystallization, in which the lateral movement of double helices was accompanied by a shift along their helical axis. The latter is responsible for the inherent frustration of the lamellar stacks. 相似文献

Starch defines a semicrystalline polymer made of two different polysaccharide fractions. The A- and B-type crystalline lattices define the distinct structures reported in cereal and tuber starches, respectively. Amylopectin, the major fraction of starch, is thought to be chiefly responsible for this semicrystalline organization while amylose is generally considered as an amorphous polymer with little or no impact on the overall crystalline organization. STA2 represents a Chlamydomonas reinhardtii gene required for both amylose biosynthesis and the presence of significant granule-bound starch synthase I (GBSSI) activity. We show that this locus encodes a 69 kDa starch synthase and report the organization of the corresponding STA2 locus. This enzyme displays a specific activity an order of magnitude higher than those reported for most vascular plants. This property enables us to report a detailed characterization of amylose synthesis both in vivo and in vitro. We show that GBSSI is capable of synthesizing a significant number of crystalline structures within starch. Quantifications of amount and type of crystals synthesized under these conditions show that GBSSI induces the formation of B-type crystals either in close association with pre-existing amorphous amylopectin or by crystallization of entirely de novo synthesized material. 相似文献

An improved method to analyze the (13)C NMR spectra of native starches, which considers the contribution of the V-type conformation and the nature of the amorphous component, has been developed. Starch spectra are separated into amorphous and ordered subspectra, using intensity at 84 ppm as a reference point. The ordered subspectra of high amylose starches show the presence of both V-type single helices and B-type double helices. Relative proportions of amorphous, single, and double-helical conformations are estimated by apportioning intensity of C1 peak areas between conformational types on the basis of ordered and amorphous subspectra of the native starch. Quantitative analysis shows that the V-type single-helical component increases with amylose content of starches. Different amorphous subspectra are needed to provide a consistent analysis of granular starches from diverse sources. The method of preparation was found to be more important than the starch botanical origin in determining (13)C NMR spectral features of amorphous samples. 相似文献

A new α-amylase from Rhizomucor sp. (RA) was studied in detail due to its very efficient hydrolysis of raw starch granules at low temperature (32 °C). RA contains a starch binding domain (SBD) connected to the core amylase catalytic domain by a O-glycosylated linker. The mode of degradation of native maize starch granules and, in particular, the changes in the starch structure during the hydrolysis, was monitored for hydrolysis of raw starch at concentrations varying between 0.1 and 31%. RA was compared to porcine pancreatic α-amylase (PPA), which has been widely studied either on resistant starch or as a model enzyme in solid starch hydrolysis studies. RA is particularly efficient on native maize starch and release glucose only. The hydrolysis rate reaches 75% for a 31% starch solution and is complete at 0.1% starch concentration. The final hydrolysis rate was dependent on both starch concentration and enzyme amount applied. RA is also very efficient in hydrolyzing the crystalline domains in the maize starch granule. The major A-type crystalline structure is more rapidly degraded than amorphous domains in the first stages of hydrolysis. This is in agreement with the observed preferential hydrolysis of amylopectin, the starch constituent that forms the backbone of the crystalline part of the granule. Amylose-lipid complexes present in most cereal starches are degraded in a second stage, yielding amylose fragments that then reassociate into B-type crystalline structures, forming the final resistant fraction. 相似文献

Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to investigate the internal structure of wheat starch granules with different amylose content. Different approaches were used for treatment (interpretation) of SAXS data to assess the values of structural parameters of amylopectin clusters and the size of crystalline and amorphous lamella in different wheat starches. The average values of the semi-crystalline growth rings thickness in starches have been determined and the relationship between structural characteristics and thermodynamic melting parameters is discussed. 相似文献

Evidence of native starch degradation with human small intestinal maltase-glucoamylase (recombinant)
Ao Z Quezada-Calvillo R Sim L Nichols BL Rose DR Sterchi EE Hamaker BR 《FEBS letters》2007,581(13):2381-2388
Action of human small intestinal brush border carbohydrate digesting enzymes is thought to involve only final hydrolysis reactions of oligosaccharides to monosaccharides. In vitro starch digestibility assays use fungal amyloglucosidase to provide this function. In this study, recombinant N-terminal subunit enzyme of human small intestinal maltase-glucoamylase (rhMGAM-N) was used to explore digestion of native starches from different botanical sources. The susceptibilities to enzyme hydrolysis varied among the starches. The rate and extent of hydrolysis of amylomaize-5 and amylomaize-7 into glucose were greater than for other starches. Such was not observed with fungal amyloglucosidase or pancreatic alpha-amylase. The degradation of native starch granules showed a surface furrowed pattern in random, radial, or tree-like arrangements that differed substantially from the erosion patterns of amyloglucosidase or alpha-amylase. The evidence of raw starch granule degradation with rhMGAM-N indicates that pancreatic alpha-amylase hydrolysis is not a requirement for native starch digestion in the human small intestine. 相似文献

Starch granules from the potato, wheat, barley, millet, waxy maize, mung bean, smooth pea and wrinkled pea have been examined as slurries in D2O by the technique of small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). All starches except that from wrinkled peas exhibit a Bragg peak at 100 Å approximately but this disappears on gelatinization. The Bragg peak is believed to arise from alternating amorphous and crystalline regions. By the use of different D2O/H2O mixtures, the isopicnic point was shown experimentally to occur at 52% D2O w/w which was close to that calculated theoretically (50·4% D2O w/w). Examination of native and defatted wheat starches in an isopicnic D2O/H2O mixture showed evidence of a lipid peak at 152–167 Å. On the basis of this evidence and that from Debye-Scherrer broadening of the 100 Å peak it is proposed that the lipid occurs radially. Further evidence in support of these dimensions and conclusions comes from Guinier analyses of the gelatinized starch granules. Using the racemose model for amylopectin, then each raceme was found to fit optimally the SANS scattering data when it was assumed to be either a squat cylinder or ellipsoid with dimensions of 150 × 60 Å. 相似文献

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. 相似文献

Relationship between branching density and crystalline structure of A- and B-type maize mutant starches 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Amylopectin from two double maize mutant starches of A-crystalline (wxdu) and B-crystalline type (aewx) was subjected successively to hydrolysis involving alpha and beta amylases, which isolated clusters and all branching zones of clusters (BZC). Enzymatic analysis together with ionic and size-exclusion chromatography revealed the structural features of the clusters and BZC and their role in starch crystallization. A-type clusters were larger (dp(n) > 80) and contained more (but shorter) chains than B-type clusters. The BZC of A-type starch was also larger, but with a shorter distance between the branching points than in B-type BZC. A-type clusters had a densely packed structure and B-type a poorly branched structure. Models for the structure of A- and B-type clusters are presented, and a hypothesis for the influence of cluster geometry on crystallization is proposed. 相似文献

Three tropical tubers, raw or processed by steam-pelleting, were studied in the rumen in vitro or in the chicken in vivo in order to determine the effects of the nature and of the treatment of the tubers on urea utilization by rumen microflora, starch breakdown in the crop and the performance of growing chickens.Starch of cassava (Manihot utilissima) and of sweet potato (Ipomea batata) is characterised by an X-ray diffraction pattern of the A-type and is therefore similar to starch of cereals. In vitro these starches were well broken down in the presence of α-amylase from B. subtilis, and were good sources of energy for rumen microbial growth; in vivo they were completely digested by growing chickens. Compared to cassava, the fermentation of sweet potato in rumen and crop led to increased acidity. The cassava diet gave a better nitrogen retention and growth performance associated with higher food intake.In contrast, starch of yam (Dioscorea cayenensis) which is characterized by an X-ray diffraction pattern of the B-type, and by large granules like potato starch, was less susceptible to α-amylase and promoted lower microbial proteosynthesis in vitro. Starch from a yam diet was more slowly degraded in the crop and its overall digestibility was only 83%. Yam reduced feed intake and gave lower nitrogen retention and lower food conversion ratio and consequently poor growth.The steam-pelleting treatment increased starch availability and permitted better urea utilization by rumen microflora. It improved N retention and feed efficiency of chicken diets, although not significantly. The greatest effect of the treatment was observed with yam.In conclusion, the digestibility of a given starch seems to be related to its structure, characterized by the type of X-ray diffraction pattern, which could be a help in tuber selection for animal nutrition. Simple processing such as steam-pelleting may improve the nutritive value of a tuber, especially when its starch has a B-type crystallinity. 相似文献
