The effects of single-retrogradation (SR), dual-retrogradation (DR) and triple-retrogradation (TR) treatments on in vitro digestibility and structural characteristics of waxy wheat starch were investigated. The yield of slowly digestible starch in a DR-treated starch with retrogradation time interval of 48 h reached a maximum of 44.41%. The gelatinization temperature range and gelatinization enthalpy of DR-treated starch samples were the lowest. Moreover, compared with native starch, X-ray diffraction patterns of treated starches were altered from A-type to B-type and relative crystallinity was significantly decreased, which was responsible for the interaction between amylose-amylose and/or amylose-amylopectin chains that may generate more imperfect structures. Scanning electron micrographs revealed that compared with SR-treated and TR-treated starches, the surface of DR-treated starch with a retrogradation time interval of 48 h exhibited a net-like structure with numerous cavities. These results suggest that structural changes of waxy wheat starch by cycled retrogradation treatment significantly affect digestibility, and DR treatment can be used for preparing SDS product.

Characterization of Diploid Wheat Flour and its Possible Practical Use.

J Appl Glycosci (1999)

November 2024

The application of flour is determined by the composition of its starch and storage proteins. Previously isolated diploid wheat is known to be amylose-free and possesses the same amylopectin structure as the wild-type. To reveal its characteristics, starch, protein, lipid, fiber, gluten, and allergen contents and rheological properties were analyzed and compared to its parental wild-type diploid wheat and commercially available hexaploid wheats.

Waxy cuticle covers plant aerial organs and protects plants against environmental challenges. Although improved cuticle-associated traits are aimed at the wheat breeding programs, the mechanism governing wheat cuticular wax biosynthesis remains to be elucidated. Herein, wheat WW domain-containing protein TaCFL1 is characterized as a negative regulator of wax biosynthesis.

3D printing ready-to-eat emulsions using trans-fat-free edible oil, presents a significant challenge due to the complexities involved in achieving the necessary material structure, rheological properties, and stability. This study fabricated High Internal Phase Emulsions (HIPEs) stabilized with citrus fibers and octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) modified waxy starch, serving as the printable inks for 3D-printable elderly foods. These printable inks exhibited a pseudoplastic gel structure, which provided enhanced extrudability and improved shape retention.

Article Synopsis
  • Pre-gelatinized starch is modified starch that can swell in cold water and has diverse industrial applications; this study evaluates high-pressure homogenization (HPH) as a method to produce it from various sources.
  • Eleven types of starch were processed through HPH, resulting in altered physical properties such as disrupted surface structures, improved water absorption, and changes in crystallinity and gelatinization temperatures.
  • The study found that waxy rice yielded the highest pre-gelatinization and water absorption, while cassava showed the greatest viscosity, suggesting HPH is an effective technique for enhancing the functional properties of pre-gelatinized starches.

As well as being a popular vegetable crop worldwide, waxy corn represents an important amylopectin source, but little is known about its breeding history and flavor characteristics. In this study, through comparative-omic analyses between 318 diverse waxy corn and 507 representative field corn inbred lines we revealed that many metabolic pathways and genes exhibited selection characteristics during the breeding history of waxy corn, contributing to the divergence between waxy and field corn. We showed that waxy corn is not only altered in its glutinous property but also its sweetness, aroma, and palatability are all significantly affected.
