A latent ability to persist: differentiation in Toxoplasma gondii [PDF]
, 2018 A critical factor in the transmission and pathogenesis of Toxoplasma gondii is the ability to convert from an acute disease-causing, proliferative stage (tachyzoite), to a chronic, dormant stage (bradyzoite).

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.High‐impact thermoplastic starch blends through the co‐plasticization methodology. Abstract This study analyzed the effect of employing plasticized or co‐plasticized post‐industrial starch in developing PBAT‐based thermoplastic starch (TPS) blends. In this work, the post‐industrial wheat starch was co‐plasticized with glycerol‐urea, glycerol‐citric ...

Understanding Starch Structure: Recent Progress
Agronomy, 2017 Starch is a major food supply for humanity. It is produced in seeds, rhizomes, roots and tubers in the form of semi-crystalline granules with unique properties for each plant.

ChemSusChem, Accepted Article.Carbohydrate‐binding modules (CBMs) are non‐catalytic domains that enhance enzyme binding to substrates. Type A CBMs show potential for engineering plastic‐degrading enzymes due to their affinity for synthetic polymers. This study presents a high‐throughput screening pipeline for characterizing the affinity and specificity of type A CBMs towards the ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Amylopectin, the major component of starch, is synthesized by synergistic activity of multiple isozymes of starch synthases (SSs) and branching enzymes (BEs). The frequency and length of amylopectin branches determine the functionality of starch.

Prediction of rice texture from starch profiles measured using high-performance liquid chromatography [PDF]
, 2001 Starch determines a large proportion of the textural properties of cooked rice. The amylose: amylopectin ratio plays a significant role in the functionality of native starch.

Molar mass and solution conformation of branched alpha(1 - 4), alpha(1 - 6) Glucans. Part I: Glycogens in water [PDF]
, 2008 Solution molar masses and conformations of glycogens from different sources (rabbit, oyster, mussel and bovine) were analysed using sedimentation velocity in the analytical ultracentrifuge, size-exclusion chromatography coupled to multi-angle laser light

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.Glutinous rice paste, with its superior viscosity and mechanical properties, serves as an ideal material for food 3D printing, yet its application is limited by its tendency to undergo retrogradation. This study demonstrates that hydrocolloids (particularly sodium alginate) effectively retard the retrogradation of glutinous rice gel, enhancing the ...

Physicochemical properties and leaching behavior of eight U.S. long-grain rice cultivars as related to rice texture [PDF]
, 2003 There are many long-grain rice cultivars produced commercially in the U.S.; however, little work has been done on correlating the structure and physicochemical properties of starch with their texture.

Amylose-lipid complex as a measure of variations in physical, mechanical and barrier attributes of rice starch- ι -carrageenan biodegradable edible film [PDF]
, 2017 Improvements in the hygroscopic properties of starch based films are important to strengthen their mechanical properties. The effects of different hydrophobic components-butyric acid (BA, C4:0), lauric acid (LA, C12:0), palmitic acid (PA, C16:0), oleic ...
