Abstract: | Cationic starches from various semi-technical processes, two 'wet' (slurry and paste modification) and two 'dry' procedures (dry modification and extrusion), each type in a DS range from 0.03 to 0.1, were investigated by electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (ESIMS) and tandem mass spectrometry (ESIMS2) after enzymatic degradation with alpha-amylase and subsequent glucoamylase digestion. For comparison, chemically derived cationic oligosaccharides were also analysed by ESIMS. The cationisation pattern in the glucosyl units was analysed by GLC after methanolysis, permethylation and Hofmann elimination. Results from ESIMS are discussed and interpreted with respect to enzyme susceptibility, monomer composition and physical properties of the different types of cationic starches. |
