Abstract

Improvements in understanding the structure of the starch granule and the nature and roles of starch-synthesising enzymes have allowed detailed mechanisms of the synthesis of the amylopectin and amylose components of the granule to be suggested. However, none of these proposed mechanisms has yet been shown to operate in vivo. Several critical aspects of granule synthesis, including granule initiation and the formation of the growth rings, remain a mystery.

Amylopectin aggregation as a function of starch phosphate content studied by size exclusion chromatography and on-line refractive index and light scattering.

Starches with a natural 65-fold span in covalently bound phosphate content were prepared from five different crops including sorghum, cassava, three potato varieties and an exotic ginger plant, Curcuma zedoaria, with extreme starch phosphate content. These starches were subjected to size exclusion chromatography with refractive index detection (SEC/RI). A simple and rapid method for starch solubilisation was used. The conditions during solubilisation (2 M NaOH) and separation (10 mM NaOH, 50 degrees C) were such as enabling > 94% recovery of the starch without detectable degradation. The aggregation properties of the starch was investigated using on line refractive index/multi angle laser light scattering (RI/MALLS) detection. Three major regions in the SEC profile were identified, consisting of large amylopectin aggregates, amylopectin particles with radius of gyration (Rg) of approx 200 nm (400 nm blocklets) and amylose. A procedure for correction of light scattering signals spread over the SEC profile as a result of aggregate tailing was developed. The significance of the relative amounts of these three molecular species on standard starch pasting parameters, as measured by a Rapid Visco Analyzer (RVA), was investigated. Starches with a high amount of amylopectin aggregates showed high peak viscosities. Moreover, very high amounts of starch bound phosphate or amylose appears to suppress the content of large aggregates resulting in low viscosity.

Internal structure of the starch granule revealed by AFM.

Atomic force microscopy images of sectioned native corn starch granules show evidence of the well-known radial organisation of the starch macromolecules, with the less-ordered hilum region near to the centre. Native granules show blocks 400-500 nm in size that span the growth rings. Lintnerised starch granules, where a mild acid hydrolysis has been used to remove the amorphous and less crystalline parts of the granule, clearly show smaller 'blocklets' within the rings approximately 10-30 nm in size. This level of organisation within the growth rings corresponds to the blocklet or superhelix structures that have been proposed in the literature for the association or clustering of amylopectin helices. Mechanical property imaging techniques have provided enhanced contrast to view this morphology, and shown the deformability of the starch structure under contact mode imaging conditions.

Physicochemical properties and structure of large, medium and small granule starches in fractions of normal barley endosperm.

Normal barley grain was milled to flour with a machine used to polish brewers' rice from the surface layer to the center. Large (18.4 microm, median size), medium (12.3 microm) and small (2.2 microm) granule starches were isolated from classified flours. Their physicochemical properties and fine structure were investigated. The percentage (w%) of large granules decreased from the surface layer to the center, while the amounts of medium and small granules increased. Although all the starch granules were an A-type crystal, the relative crystallinity varied from 22.0 to 27.4%. The DPn of the amyloses was around 1600 and similar for all the samples. But the amylose content of the starches varied from 21.9 to 26.4%. Also, the amylopectins showed differences in DPn (around 5700-7900) and chain-length distribution between granule size or fractions. The transition temperature ranges and the enthalpy values of the starch granules differed with granule size. The gelatinization properties showed no correlation with any of the parameters, except the enthalpy value and relative crystallinity (gamma = +0.73). The findings suggested that the structural characteristics of the starches in classified flours of normal barley differed essentially from those of waxy barley.
