Recreating the synthesis of starch granules in yeast

eLife, 2016
Starch, as the major nutritional component of our staple crops and a feedstock for industry, is a vital plant product. It is composed of glucose polymers that form massive semi-crystalline granules.

The enhancing effects of locust bean gum and xanthan gum on the digestibility of potato starch under thermal treatments

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
The dual‐thermal treatment enhanced the interaction between potato starch and gums, consequently reducing starch digestibility. Abstract Locust bean gum (LBG) and xanthan gum (XG) played regulatory roles in the digestibility of potato starch (PS) during thermal treatments.

Enhancement of technofunctional properties of chickpea flour through composite blending with teff and proso millet

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract The increasing demand for nutritionally rich and gluten‐free foods has intensified research interest in underutilized cereals and legumes as an alternative to conventional wheat‐based flours. The study aims to investigate the potential of developing composite flours from proso millet (Panicum miliaceum), teff (Eragrostis tef), and chickpea ...

Starch Synthase IIa-Deficient Mutant Rice Line Produces Endosperm Starch With Lower Gelatinization Temperature Than Japonica Rice Cultivars

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
The gelatinization temperature of endosperm starch in most japonica rice cultivars is significantly lower than that in most indica rice cultivars. This is because three single nucleotide polymorphisms in the Starch synthase (SS) IIa gene in japonica rice

High temperature boosts resistant starch content by altering starch structure and lipid content in rice ssIIIa mutants

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
High temperature (HT) during grain filling had adverse influences on starch synthesis. In this study, the influences of HT on resistant starch (RS) formation in rice were investigated. Most genes in ssIIIa mutants especially in RS4 were upregulated under

Chemistry Underlying the Behavior of Food and Agricultural Components During Industrial Manufacturing Processes and Its Implications in Quality Assurance, Food Quality, and Food Safety Management: A Systematic Review

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Industrial manufacturing processes have transformative effects on the components of food matrix. These transformations in food matrix and components have direct implications for quality assurance (QA), food quality (e.g., nutritional profile and texture), and food safety management (e.g., pathogen control and toxin mitigation). ABSTRACT This systematic
