Article Synopsis
- * Results indicated that HHP reduces intramolecular hydrogen bonds while increasing bonds with the solvent, leading to changes consistent with starch gelatinization.
- * The findings suggest that HHP alters amylose conformation and stability in a way that contrasts with traditional heating methods, offering new insights for improved starch processing techniques.
Starch is an important resource in nature, and HHP (high hydrostatic pressure) is one of the most important physical modification technologies. In this study, molecular dynamics simulation was used to explore the interchain interaction and the changes of molecule conformations of amylopectin and double-amylose helix at atomic level in different pressure. The results shown that, firstly, high pressure increased the content of 4C1 chair conformation, decreased the RMSD (root mean square deviations) and RMSF (root mean square fluctuation), made molecules more stable.
