Identification and expression analysis of starch branching enzymes involved in starch synthesis during the development of chestnut (Castanea mollissima Blume) cotyledons.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima Blume) is native to China and distributes widely in arid and semi-arid mountain area with barren soil. As a perennial crop, chestnut is an alternative food source and acts as an important commercial nut tree in China.

Evaluation of the Molecular Structural Parameters of Normal Rice Starch and Their Relationships with Its Thermal and Digestion Properties

Molecules, 2017
The molecular structural parameters of six normal rice starches with different amylose contents were investigated through their iodine absorption spectra and gel permeation chromatography of fully branched and debranched starches.

Role of amylopectin synthesis in Toxoplasma gondii and its implication in vaccine development against toxoplasmosis

Open Biology, 2021
Toxoplasma gondii is a ubiquitous pathogen infecting one-third of the global population. A significant fraction of toxoplasmosis cases is caused by reactivation of existing chronic infections.

The heteromultimeric debranching enzyme involved in starch synthesis in Arabidopsis requires both isoamylase1 and isoamylase2 subunits for complex stability and activity.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Isoamylase-type debranching enzymes (ISAs) play an important role in determining starch structure. Amylopectin - a branched polymer of glucose - is the major component of starch granules and its architecture underlies the semi-crystalline nature of ...

Modifying cooking banana starch using octenyl succinic anhydride improves the amylose-amylopectin ratio of starch. A chemometrics approach

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 ...

Functional Genomic Validation of the Roles of Soluble Starch Synthase IIa in Japonica Rice Endosperm

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020
The enzyme starch synthase IIa (SSIIa) in cereals has catalytic and regulatory roles during the synthesis of amylopectin that influences the functional properties of the grain. Rice endosperm SSIIa is more active in indica accessions compared to japonica

A New Method for the Separation of the Amylose and Amylopectin Components of Starch [PDF]

Nature, 1946
A NUMBER of methods are available for the separation of the unbranched (amylose) and branched (amylopectin) components of starch. Of these methods, that of T. Schoch1 has been generally useful but presents certain disadvantages as a routine method inasmuch as it consists in a relatively high-temperature treatment, under pressure, of starch paste with ...

Determining the Nutritional Potential of Ancient Wheat Species: A Closer Look at Starch and Protein Digestibility, and Phenolic Acid Content

Cereal Chemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives The recent trend towards healthy food choices and sustainable agriculture has revived interest in underutilized wheat species such as emmer, einkorn, and spelt. Given these developments, the objective of the study was to compare the differences in chemical composition and digestibility characteristics among ...
