Buck Wheat: Nutritional, Bioactive Characteristics, Health Benefits, and Side Effects

Future Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Micronutrient deficits have resulted from an over‐reliance on a small number of cereal crops for food security. The agricultural sector faces severe sustainability issues due to the rapid growth of the world's population and sudden climatic changes.

Contributions of Three Starch Branching Enzyme Isozymes to the Fine Structure of Amylopectin in Rice Endosperm

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Three starch branching enzyme (BE) isozymes, BEI, BEIIa, and BEIIb, are involved in starch biosynthesis in rice endosperm. Past in vivo and in vitro studies have suggested that each BE isozyme plays a distinct role in forming the fine structure of ...

From Glycogen to Amylopectin: A Model for the Biogenesis of the Plant Starch Granule [PDF]

Cell, 1996
A major feature of the model we propose is that it gives us access to the third dimension of granule growth. The crystal lamella is a planar arrangement allowing for the three dimensional piling of glucan double helices (Figure 1Figure 1). The amorphous lamella on the other hand will not be planar but space-filling as can be predicted by the synthesis ...

Raman Bands of Malto‐ and Isomalto‐Oligosaccharides as Models for Starch

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
The present study measured Raman spectra of malto‐ and isomalto‐oligosaccharides with various degree of polymerization as models for starch. The data suggest that malto‐oligosaccharides with degree of polymerization ≥ 5 exhibit Raman bands similar to those of starch.

Lafora disease offers a unique window into neuronal glycogen metabolism [PDF]

, 2018
Lafora disease (LD) is a fatal, autosomal recessive, glycogen-storage disorder that manifests as severe epilepsy. LD results from mutations in the gene encoding either the glycogen phosphatase laforin or the E3 ubiquitin ligase malin. Individuals with LD

Effect of in situ amylase and fermented maize starch on texture and after‐cooking storability of lafun dough

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Lafun is made by fermenting and drying cassava chunks, which are then milled into flour and cooked into dough. Its quality characteristics are variety‐dependent, while it may become too soft or even liquefy during storage, leading to rejection by end‐users.

Effects of different starch structures on energy metabolism in pigs

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2023
Background Starch is a major component of carbohydrates and a major energy source for monogastric animals. Starch is composed of amylose and amylopectin and has different physiological functions due to its different structure.

Evaluation of industrial potential of novel cassava starches with low and high amylose contents in comparison with other commercial starch sources [PDF]

, 2011
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.

Liver transplantation for type IV glycogen storage disease [PDF]

, 1991
TYPE IV glycogen storage disease is a rare autosomal recessive disorder (also called Andersen's disease1 or amylopectinosis) in which the activity of branching enzyme alpha-1, 4-glucan: alpha-1, 4-glucan 6-glucosyltransferase is deficient in the liver as

Food quality profile of fermented cassava dough: A tool for the value chain upgrading

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Agbelima is a fermented cassava mash, which is then cooked into dough. The key quality attributes are color, odor, stretchability, and sour taste. To succeed in upgrading agbelima value chain, there is a need to determine the instrumental parameters that predict the quality of consumer‐preferred attributes of the final product. This
