Effects of the Molecular Structure of Starch in Foods on Human Health
Foods, 2023 Starch provides approximately half of humans’ food energy, and its structural features influence human health. The most important structural feature is the chain length distribution (CLD), which affects properties such as the digestibility of starch ...

Starch synthesis and gelatinization properties of potato tubers
Ciência Rural, 2021 : Biosynthesis is the only source of potato starch which is an important raw material for food processing, modified starch and biomass energy. However, it is not clear about the evolution of starch synthesis with tuber development in potato.

Understanding the Binding of Starch Fragments to Granule-Bound Starch Synthase
, 2021 Granule-bound starch synthase (GBSS) plays a major role, that of chain elongation, in the biosynthesis of amylose, a starch component with mostly (1 → 4)-α connected long chains of glucose with a few (1 → 6)-α branch points.

Constitutive expression of SlTrxF increases starch content in transgenic Arabidopsis
Biologia Plantarum, 2017 The plastidic thioredoxin F-type (TrxF) protein plays an important role in plant saccharide metabolism. In this study, a gene encoding the TrxF protein, named SlTrxF, was isolated from tomato.
