Abstract
There is growing interest in the development of high-amylose cereals such as wheat due to their functional properties and nutritional value in foods. The increase in amylose content is associated with significant changes in the physicochemical, molecular, and structural characteristics of wheat starch which could affect its processing quality. The present study aimed to analyze the physicochemical, molecular, and structural characteristics of high-amylose starch from three durum wheat near isogenic lines (NILs), each obtained using three different recurrent parents. Morphology, granule size distribution, pasting and thermal properties, X-ray diffraction, and structural features were determined. The NILs showed the highest amylose content (65.3 and 69.8%), granules with an elongated shape, size between the wild-type and the mutant, restricted swelling in the pasting profile, the highest average and final gelatinization temperature, and B-polymorphism. The starches from the NILs showed the highest molar mass of amylopectin (AP) (7.0–7.6 × 107 Da) and the lowest amylose (AM) (1.1–1.8 × 106 Da), an issue associated with the biosynthesis of both components. The study on the debranched sample by high-performance size-exclusion chromatography showed that the high-amylose starch had the highest content of long B2 and B3 chains of AP (23.9–26.6%), which was corroborated with the high-performance anion-exchange chromatography analysis where the chains with degree of polymerization >37 had the highest content (18.3–19.1%). The PC1 is highly associated with the MwAM and the AM fraction in the debranched starch analyzed by HPSEC. Characterizing high-amylose durum wheat starch provides information to determine the structure-function relationship and design strategies to produce crosses with structural characteristics of AM and AP for specific applications.
期刊介绍:
Food Hydrocolloids publishes original and innovative research focused on the characterization, functional properties, and applications of hydrocolloid materials used in food products. These hydrocolloids, defined as polysaccharides and proteins of commercial importance, are added to control aspects such as texture, stability, rheology, and sensory properties. The research's primary emphasis should be on the hydrocolloids themselves, with thorough descriptions of their source, nature, and physicochemical characteristics. Manuscripts are expected to clearly outline specific aims and objectives, include a fundamental discussion of research findings at the molecular level, and address the significance of the results. Studies on hydrocolloids in complex formulations should concentrate on their overall properties and mechanisms of action, while simple formulation development studies may not be considered for publication.
The main areas of interest are:
-Chemical and physicochemical characterisation
Thermal properties including glass transitions and conformational changes-
Rheological properties including viscosity, viscoelastic properties and gelation behaviour-
The influence on organoleptic properties-
Interfacial properties including stabilisation of dispersions, emulsions and foams-
Film forming properties with application to edible films and active packaging-
Encapsulation and controlled release of active compounds-
The influence on health including their role as dietary fibre-
Manipulation of hydrocolloid structure and functionality through chemical, biochemical and physical processes-
New hydrocolloids and hydrocolloid sources of commercial potential.
The Journal also publishes Review articles that provide an overview of the latest developments in topics of specific interest to researchers in this field of activity.
