Modifying cooking banana starch using octenyl succinic anhydride improves the amylose-amylopectin ratio of starch. A chemometrics approach [PDF]
The Proceedings of the Nigerian Academy of Science, 2021 The disadvantage posed by native starch during food application had led to starch modification using physical or chemical techniques. This research therefore, aimed at modelling and optimizing the amylose-amylopectin ratio of modified cooking banana ...

Overlapping functions of the starch synthases SSII and SSIII in amylopectin biosynthesis in
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.

Changes in fine structure of amylopectin and internal structures of starch granules in developing endosperms and culms caused by starch branching enzyme mutations of japonica rice [PDF]
, 2022 Cereals have three types of starch branching enzymes (BEs), BEI, BEIIa, and BEIIb. It is widely known that BEIIb is specifically expressed in the endosperm and plays a distinct role in the structure of amylopectin because in its absence the amylopectin ...

The relationship between the fine structure of amylopectin and the type of crystalline allomorph of starch granules in rice endosperm [PDF]
, 2023 Background and Objectives: It is known that any wild-type varieties of cereals so far examined have A-type starch crystals in their endosperm whereas their starch branching enzyme 2b (be2b) mutants that are usually referred to as amylose-extender (ae ...

Solid-State Fermentation of Legumes: Multi-Scale Structural Modifications to Unlock Techno-Functional Properties. [PDF]
Compr Rev Food Sci Food SafABSTRACT Legumes are increasingly used as functional ingredients in plant‐based foods. However, their compact endogenous structure restricts techno‐functional properties. Conventional fractionation methods that isolate proteins further impair these properties and generate co‐products.
