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’.

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract BACKGROUND A widely cultivated pulse, lupin, has garnered interest for its beneficial nutritional properties, especially for baking applications. The harmful alkaloid content and poor functional properties of lupin limit its wider use. Sonication is an ecofriendly technology used to modify molecular structures.

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.Processing‐property relationships in thermoplastic starch (TPS): plasticizer type, starch source and melt‐processing temperature establish a hierarchy of effects that governs process‐induced changes and the resulting TPS properties. ABSTRACT Thermoplastic starch (TPS) is a melt‐processable biopolymer whose properties depend strongly on formulation and ...

Functional characterisation of a predicted chloroplastic plant protein phosphatase [PDF]
, 2009 The phosphatase AtPTPKISI is involved in the control of starch metabolism in Arabidopsis thaliana leaves at night. The SEX4 (Starch Excess 4) mutants, lacking this predicted phosphatase, have strongly reduced rates of starch metabolism.

Past, present and future of local crop evolution
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Promoting agrobiodiversity is a promising strategy for mitigating the negative effects of climate change on global food security. We highlight the central role evolutionary processes play in harnessing the potential of local crops by integrating genomics, archaeology, ethnobotany and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK).

A simplified method of determining the internal structure of amylopectin from barley starch without amylopectin isolation [PDF]
, 2021 To determine the internal structure of barley starch without amylopectin isolation, whole starch was hydrolyzed using beta-amylase to remove the linear amylose and obtain beta-limit dextrins (beta-LDs).

Overexpressing the universal stress protein gene
Journal of Integrative AgricultureThe universal stress proteins (USPs) play important roles not only in abiotic stress tolerance but also in plant growth and development. However, the role of USPs in regulating starch biosynthesis has not been reported.

Gut microbiota as a novel therapeutic target for eating disorders and obesity
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.The graphical abstract highlights the bidirectional interaction between the gut microbiota and central homeostatic and hedonic mechanisms regulating food intake, which contributes to overweight and obesity. It also illustrates emerging microbiota‐based biomarkers and therapeutic strategies (including prebiotics, probiotics, postbiotics, synbiotics and ...
