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

BMC 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.

Comparison of physicochemical, rheological, and digestibility properties of starch isolated from plantain (Musa paradisiaca) using different methods

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract The present work aimed to evaluate the effect of different isolation methods (distilled water, sodium hydroxide, and potassium metabisulfite) on the properties of plantain starch and compared with flour. It was hypothesized that chemical steeping enhanced yield, techno‐functional properties, and resistant starch without disrupting native ...

Environmental risk assessment of genetically modified plants - concepts and controversies [PDF]

, 2011
Background and purpose: In Europe, the EU Directive 2001/18/EC lays out the main provisions of environmental risk assessment (ERA) of genetically modified (GM) organisms that are interpreted very differently by different stakeholders. The purpose of this

Guideline for the electrospinning of food biomacromolecules

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract Electrospinning, an efficient method for producing micro‐ and nanoscale fibers, has undergone a notable resurgence in recent decades since its origin in the early 20th century, largely driven by advances in nanotechnology. Subsequently, it has been extensively applied across various disciplines, including materials science, biomedicine ...

Suppression of starch synthase I (SSI) by RNA interference alters starch biosynthesis and amylopectin chain distribution in rice plants subjected to high temperature

Crop Journal, 2019
Based on known cDNAs of rice starch synthase isoforms, we constructed dsRNA interference vectors for starch synthase I (SSI) to produce transgenic plants containing starch with a moderately high amylose content.

Molar mass and solution conformation of branched alpha(1 - 4), alpha(1 - 6) Glucans. Part I: Glycogens in water [PDF]

, 2008
Solution molar masses and conformations of glycogens from different sources (rabbit, oyster, mussel and bovine) were analysed using sedimentation velocity in the analytical ultracentrifuge, size-exclusion chromatography coupled to multi-angle laser light

Effects of yeast polysaccharides on the quality of wheat dough and toast

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract This study assessed how the soluble yeast polysaccharide (SYP) affected the physicochemical, pasting, and rheological properties of the wheat flour as well as the texture, the visual appearance, and the sensory evaluation of the toast.

The structural characteristics of starches and their functional properties

CyTA - 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’.

Comparison of Short-grain Rice Cultivars Grown in Japan and the United States [PDF]

, 2018
Although short-grain rice accounts for less than 2% of U.S. rice production, the demand for short-grain rice is expected to increase because of the increasing popularity of sushi and sake. The objective of this study was to compare the physical, chemical

Purification of Starch Granules from Arabidopsis Leaves and Determination of Granule-Bound Starch Synthase Activity [PDF]

, 2014
Starch constitutes the most important carbon reserve in plants and is composed of branched amylopectin and linear amylose. The latter is synthesized exclusively by the Granule-Bound Starch Synthase (GBSS, EC 2.4.1.21).
