Auto-assemblies of Alpha-Cyclodextrin and Grafted Polysaccharides: Crystal Structure and Specific Properties of the Platelets [PDF]
, 2018 Cyclodextrins (CD) are a family of oligosaccharides with a toroid shape, which exhibit a remarkable ability to include guest molecules in their internal cavity providing a hydrophobic environment for poorly soluble molecules. Recently new types of inclusions of alpha CD with alkyl grafted polysaccharide chains (pullulan, chitosan, dextran, amylopectin,

Toxoplasma gondii Requires Glycogen Phosphorylase for Balancing Amylopectin Storage and for Efficient Production of Brain Cysts [PDF]
mBio, 2017 In immunocompromised hosts, latent infection with Toxoplasma gondii can reactivate from tissue cysts, leading to encephalitis. A characteristic of T. gondii bradyzoites in tissue cysts is the presence of amylopectin granules.

Relationship between intrinsic viscosity, thermal, and retrogradation properties of amylose and amylopectin [PDF]
Czech Journal of Food Sciences, 2014 The relationships between intrinsic viscosity and some properties of amylose and amylopectin were investigated. The intrinsic viscosities determined by Ubbelohde viscometer for rice, maize, wrinkled pea and potato amyloses were 46.28 ± 0.30, 123.94 ± 0 ...

Overlapping functions of the starch synthases SSII and SSIII in amylopectin biosynthesis in Arabidopsis [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2008 Background The biochemical mechanisms that determine the molecular architecture of amylopectin are central in plant biology because they allow long-term storage of reduced carbon.

Unraveling the interactive effect of opaque2 and waxy1 genes on kernel nutritional qualities and physical properties in maize (Zea mays L.). [PDF]
Sci RepThe mutant waxy allele (wx1) is responsible for increased amylopectin in maize starch, with a wide range of food and industrial applications. The amino acid profile of waxy maize resembles normal maize, making it particularly deficient in lysine and ...

Insight into characteristics in rice starch under heat- moisture treatment: Focus on the structure of amylose/amylopectin. [PDF]
Food Chem XHeat-moisture treatment (HMT) could improve the structure and physicochemical characteristics of rice starch, the structural changes of amylose and amylopectin needed to be further investigated. Hence, the starch, amylose and amylopectin were modified by
