Effect of starch physiology, gelatinization, and retrogradation on the attributes of rice starch-ι-carrageenan film [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Edible films and coatings have been applied as the potential substitutes for conventional plastics in food packaging. However, their physical and mechanical properties still have limitations and thus require further improvement.

Soluble Starch Synthase III-1 in Amylopectin Metabolism of Banana Fruit: Characterization, Expression, Enzyme Activity, and Functional Analyses

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Soluble starch synthase (SS) is one of the key enzymes involved in amylopectin biosynthesis in plants. However, no information is currently available about this gene family in the important fruit crop banana.

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

open access: yesBMC 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.

Potential of the small-granule starch mutation for the Bioethanol Industry. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The industrial starch market is undergoing major expansion, but certain specific industrial uses cannot be satisfied by native starches and, therefore, chemical or physical modification is necessary.

Microplastics from Wearable Bioelectronic Devices: Sources, Risks, and Sustainable Solutions

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bioelectronic devices (e.g., e‐skins) heavily rely on polymers that at the end of their life cycle will generate microplastics. For research, a holistic approach to viewing the full impact of such devices cannot be overlooked. The potential for devices as sources for microplastics is raised, with mitigation strategies surrounding polysaccharide and ...

Biosynthesis of waxy starch - a review

open access: yesPlant, Soil and Environment, 2017
Starch comprises nearly linear amylose and branched amylopectin, whilst waxy starches are a special form, containing almost exclusively amylopectin. Modern techniques in plant breeding together with new data from starch biosynthesis research have enabled

Production of amylopectin and high-amylose starch in separate potato genotypes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Starch is one of the most important processed products from agriculture. Two main outlets can be identified; starch is either enzymatically processed for the production of sweeteners and as raw material for fermentation or channelled to various ...

Hyperelastic Starch Hydrogel Configures Edible and Biodegradable All‐Components for Soft Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Hyperelastic starch hydrogel is tailored via a phase separation strategy of solvent‐antisolvent co‐modulation. The mechanical performance of starch hydrogel is widely tuned with maximum strains: 194.4–361.4%; maximum tensile stresses: 34–192 kPa; and Young's moduli: 36.0–205.8 kPa. Notably, the hydrogel achieves complete soil degradation within 24 days

Effect of Amylopectin Content on Mechanical, Barrier and Thermal Properties of Plasticized Starch/Chitosan Films

open access: yesPolysaccharides, 2023
Mechanical, barrier, and thermal properties of films based on blends of corn starch and chitosan plasticized with ethylene glycol, glycerol, and sorbitol were investigated.

Novel cassava starches with low and high amylose contents: Structural and macro-molecular characterization in comparison with other commercial sources [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is one of the most important sources of commercial production of starch along with potato, maize and wheat particularly for tropical and subtropical regions of the world.
