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.

Kinetic Modeling of Phosphate‐Based Enzyme Cascade for the Production of Fructose From Starch

open access: yesChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
A mechanistic kinetic model is developed for a phosphate‐based cascade converting starch to fructose. Mechanistic information was used to formulate rate expression of enzymes, and sensitivity analysis was performed to identify key kinetic parameters for optimization.

Lignocellulosic Triboelectric Materials for Energy Harvesting and Emerging Applications: A Review on Lignin‐Molecular Engineering toward Improved Performance

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Contrasting sustainable biomass with depleting petroleum resources, this review charts the evolutionary timeline of lignin‐based TENGs. We systematically evaluate their fundamental mechanisms, enhancement strategies, and applications in green self‐powered electronics.

Concerted suppression of all starch branching enzyme genes in barley produces amylose-only starch granules

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2012
Background Starch is stored in higher plants as granules composed of semi-crystalline amylopectin and amorphous amylose. Starch granules provide energy for the plant during dark periods and for germination of seeds and tubers.

Production of bioethanol from residual barley and utilization of fermentation co‐products in animal nutrition

open access: yesEnvironmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract The search for sustainable alternatives for bioethanol production has encouraged the valorization of agro‐industrial residues. This study evaluated the use of residual barley as a feedstock for bioethanol production and as a potential ingredient for ruminant feed.

Nutritional, Functional, and Anti‐Hypercholesterolemic Properties of Sourdough Breads From Unripe Plantain, Tiger Nut, and Fenugreek Flours

open access: yesFood Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Composite sourdough breads were developed from blends of unripe plantain, tiger nut, and fenugreek flours. Optimized formulations improved pasting stability and enhanced texture, producing softer more elastic crumbs. The enriched breads contained higher dietary fiber and bioactive compounds, and significantly reduced serum cholesterol markers ...

A parameterized model of amylopectin synthesis provides key insights into the synthesis of granular starch. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
A core set of genes involved in starch synthesis has been defined by genetic studies, but the complexity of starch biosynthesis has frustrated attempts to elucidate the precise functional roles of the enzymes encoded.

Impact of Sprouting and Brachystegia eurycoma Supplementation on the Functional, Proximate Composition, and Bioactive, Antioxidant, and Enzyme‐Inhibitory Properties of Sorghum Flour

open access: yesFood Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Sprouting and Brachystegia eurycoma supplementation improved sorghum flour nutrition, antioxidant activity and enzyme inhibition for functional foods. ABSTRACT Sprouting and cereal–legume supplementation are effective strategies for improving the functional, nutritional, and nutraceutical qualities of cereal‐based flour and products.

The structural characteristics of starches and their functional properties

open access: yesCyTA - Journal of Food, 2018
Starch is composed of amylose and amylopectin and deposited as granules of different sizes and shapes with semi-crystalline and amorphous concentric layers that show the ‘maltese cross’.
