The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between the structural and functional properties of starch isolated from Atlantic potatoes at different stages of growth without the effect of varieties and growth environment. The molecular size and chain-length distribution of amylopectin significantly varied with growth. The M and M of amylopectin ranged from 2.976 × 10 to 4.512 × 10 g/mol and 1.275 × 10 to 2.295 × 10 g/mol, respectively, suggested that the polydispersity varied with growth. The average chain length of amylopectin during potato growth showed small but significant changes and ranged from DP 23.59 to 24.73. Overall, A chains, A chains, and B1 chains increased with growth, and B2 and B3 chains decreased with growth. There was wide variation in starch pasting, gelatinization, retrogradation, in vitro starch digestibility, swelling power, solubility, and gel stability properties. Specifically, potato starch harvested at the earliest time had the highest resistant starch content. The variation trend of swelling power and solubility was similar, reached highest value at 42 days, were 20.38 g/g and 8.83%, respectively. Correlation analysis revealed that the physicochemical properties were significantly affected by amylopectin fine structure. The results of this study enhance our understanding of the structure-function relationship of potato starch.

Rice (Oryza sativa) is a vital food crop and staple diet for most of the world's population. Poor dietary choices have had a significant role in the development of type-2 diabetes in the population that relies on rice and rice-starch-based foods. Hence, our study investigated the in vitro digestion and glycemic indices of certain indigenous rice cultivars and the factors influencing these indices.

The impact of temperature and light on rice quality has high research interest, but the mechanism remains unclear. Herein, six rice cultivars were planted in karst regions of Xingyi (XY, 1300 m above sea level, asl), Guiding (GD, 1100 m asl), and Huangping (HP, 684 m asl) in China. Starch molecular structures were investigated to reveal the influences of ecological conditions during grain-filling stage on rice quality.

This study aimed to investigate the influence of heterogeneous amylopectin (waxy corn starch, WCS) on the retrogradation of wheat starch (WS), hoping to provide a new idea for alleviating the retrogradation of steamed cold noodles. The chain length distribution data confirmed the formation of a binary gel network resulting from the heterogeneous amylopectin structure between WCS and WS. With the increase of WCS concentration, the modulus and setback value of WS-WCS binary gel decreased, which was attributed to the newly built network structure hindering the aggregation of WS molecules.

The digestibility of starch in staple foods has rarely been examined at the bio-macromolecular level. This study addresses this by investigating the fine structures of amylose and amylopectin to understand their roles in starch digestibility in cooked white rice. Using the static INFOGEST protocol and oral processing by human volunteers, we assessed the starch digestion characteristics of 13 rice varieties, with amylose and amylopectin chain length distribution being analyzed using size-exclusion chromatography and high-performance anion exchange chromatography, respectively.
