Characterisation of starches isolated from Arracacha xanthorriza, Canna edulis and Oxalis tuberosa and extracted from potato leaf [PDF]

, 2004
Starches from Arracacha xanthorriza, Canna edulis and Oxalis tuberosa grown in the Andean region were characterised. All three starches revealed a B-type X-ray diffraction pattern.

Plasma‐Activated Water Primes Black Rice Starch for Amplified Hydrothermal Modification: Structural Insights and Enhanced Digestibility [PDF]

Journal of food science.
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the ability of plasma‐activated water (PAW) to modulate black rice starch response to autoclaving. Six formulations were prepared: native starch (Native), starch treated with PAW for 30 or 60 min (P30, P60), starch autoclaved only (AC), and starch subjected to PAW for 30 or 60 min prior to autoclaving (P30AC, P60AC).

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 ...

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.

Starch Selection in Sweet Food Systems: A Texture-Driven Framework Across Confectionery and Dessert Matrices. [PDF]

J Texture Stud
Starch functions as a key hydrocolloid shaping texture and stability in the formulation engineering of sweet foods. Sugar‐starch hydration interactions control gelatinization and rheological behavior. Modified starches enhance tolerance to heat, shear, acidity, and low moisture, and starch‐hydrocolloid blends enable tailored textures and improved shelf

Sub‐Diffraction and Irreversibly Tunable Imaging With Potato Starch Lenses

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Native potato starch granules function as sustainable birefringent microlenses that enable polarization‐controlled conventional and vortex lensing via spin‐to‐orbital angular momentum conversion. They provide sub‐diffraction and spiral‐contrast imaging, support vortex‐array generation with controllable topological‐charge sign, exhibit irreversible ...

Processing‐Induced Changes in Bioactive Compounds, Physicochemical, Nutritional, and Sensory Properties of Asian Salted Noodles Fortified With Red Beetroot Flour

Cereal Chemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Asian salted noodles (ASN) are popular in East and Southeast Asia and in parts of Europe and the Americas. However, ASN are deficient in certain nutrients (e.g., vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber) and bioactive compounds.

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
