Abstract The dietary and lifestyle practices have predominantly compromised human health, which are influenced by modernization and industrialization. Hypercholesterolemia, caused by the consumption of fatty and fried foods and a sedentary lifestyle, is a major modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease and commonly coexists with obesity ...

SSR loci potentially associated with high amylopectine content in maize kernel endosperm
As a component of functional nutrition, maize cultivars with “non-traditional” kernel composition (waxy, oilbearing, sugar, opaque, etc. phenotypic variants) are promising.

Carbon isotope ratios of amylose, amylopectin and mutant starches [PDF]
Carbon isotope ratios (expressed as δ13C values) were determined for various sources of starch and the starch fractions amylose and amylopectin. The δ13C values of amylose were consistently less negative, 0.4–2.3 ‰, than those of amylopectin in kernal ...

Effects of genotype and environment on the physiochemical properties of Canadian oat varieties
Abstract BACKGROUND The relationship between oat grain composition and physical attributes as influenced by oat genotype and Canadian growing environments was investigated. Thirty Canadian oat (Avena sativa L.) genotypes, grown in three Canadian growing locations (Brandon, Manitoba; Portage la Prairie, Manitoba; and Lacombe, Alberta) over 2 consecutive

Heat-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

The crystallinity of amylose and amylopectin films
X-ray crystallinity of amylose and amylopectin films with 0, 10 and 30% of glycerol and stored at RH 0, 54 and 91% were studied. Films prepared of water cast dilute solutions and dried at 70°C were thin and transparent.

Abstract BACKGROUND Arabinoxylans (AX), abundant in wheat bran, represent a valuable yet underutilized fraction of cereal milling by‐products. In this study, an AX‐enriched fraction obtained from durum wheat meal (DWM), produced from defatted durum wheat germ and debranning fractions, was incorporated at increasing levels (0–25%) into pea starch ...

Abstract BACKGROUND Freezing preserves cooked rice, but ice formation and water redistribution can cause structural and textural deterioration. The individual and combined effects of ethanol soaking and trehalose‐assisted cooking on freeze–thaw behaviour, water state, texture, and microstructure were investigated. Rice was soaked in water or an aqueous

Plastidial disproportionating enzyme1 (DPE1), an alpha-1,4-D-glucanotransferase, has been thought to be involved in storage starch synthesis in cereal crops. However, the precise function of DPE1 remains to be established.

Processing‐property relationships in thermoplastic starch (TPS): plasticizer type, starch source and melt‐processing temperature establish a hierarchy of effects that governs process‐induced changes and the resulting TPS properties. ABSTRACT Thermoplastic starch (TPS) is a melt‐processable biopolymer whose properties depend strongly on formulation and ...
