A comparison between structural, morphological, functional and digestibility studies of starches from cereals i.e. wheat (WS), corn (CS), low amylose corn (LACS) and rice (RS), tubers i.e. potato (PS) and sweet potato (SP), and legumes i.e. kidney bean (KB) were investigated. The shape of granules varied from oval to elliptical or spherical according to the source. Distribution of iso- amylase debranched materials revealed that long and short side chains fractions of amylopectin ranged from 12.6 to 33.1% and 40.5 to 52.5% respectively. KB starch showed the highest amylose content (49.50%) while RS showed the lowest (8.51%). Starches with greater granule size (PS, SP and KB) showed higher proportion of long side chains of amylopectin (AP) (Fr.II) than short side chains of AP (Fr.III). Peak viscosity (PV), breakdown viscosity (BV) and final viscosity (FV) showed significant positive relationship with Fr. II and negative with apparent amylose content (AAC) and Fr.III. Tuber starches showed greater paste viscosities followed by legume starches. Tuber and legume starches with higher apparent amylose content and Fr. II showed greater crystallinity. Gel hardness and gelatinization temperatures showed inverse relationship with RS starch having higher proportion of smaller granules (0-10 µm). KB with higher amylose content showed maximum rapidly digestible starch (RDS) content while SP showed the highest resistant starch. Above observations would be utilized in modifying properties of native starches and help in improving texture, moisture retention capacity and gel firmness of starch and its products.

Formation and crystalline structure of spherulites from pea and high amylose maize starches.

Int J Biol Macromol

January 2025

Department of Grain Science and Industry, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS 66506, USA. Electronic address:

Starch spherulite is a unique form of resistant starch characterized by a spherical structure with crystalline lamellae that are radially oriented and may find applications in delivery of nutrients and bioactives to the lower gastrointestinal tract. Formation of starch spherulites generally requires heating to a high temperature followed by quenching and long crystallization time. The objectives of this study were to gain a deeper understanding of the factors influencing spherulite formation from pea starch (PS) and high-amylose maize starch (HAMS) and investigate if spherulites could be formed by a slow cooling rate and determine the crystalline structure and morphology of the spherulites formed.

Combined effects of climate stressors and soil arsenic contamination on metabolic profiles and productivity of rice (Oryza sativa L.).

Sci Total Environ

Rice productivity and quality are increasingly at risk in arsenic (As) affected areas, challenge that is expected to worsen under changing climatic conditions. Free-Air Concentration Enrichment experiments revealed that eCO, eO, and eTemp, whether acting individually or in combination with low and high As irrigation, significantly impact rice yield and grain quality. Elevated CO₂ significantly increased shoot biomass, with minimal impact on root biomass, except under low As irrigation conditions.

The polyphenol-starch complex has become a hot research topic since it is evident that this modification method can alter the physicochemical properties of starch as well as improve its nutritional value. This work aimed to evaluate the effect of ginger polyphenol gingerols (GNs) and shogaols (SNs) on the structure of starch with different amylose content (WCS, CS, G56, G80). Textural and rheological results indicated that GNs and SNs had more pronounced inhibitory retrogradation effects for relative low-level amylose starches (WCS and CS) compared to relative high-level amylose starches (G56 and G80).

Effective blood glucose management is essential for individuals with type 1 diabetes, particularly when dietary adjustments involve staple foods like rice. As a primary carbohydrate worldwide, rice significantly influences the glycemic index (GI) based on its type and cooking method. This study investigated the impact of rice type and boiling duration on the GI in healthy adults using an in vivo approach aligned with ISO 2010 standards.
