Most of the earlier procedures used for separating starch into amylose, the linear unbranched component, and amylopectin, the branched chain component (1, 2), have involved degradation and hydrolysis of the starch molecules, During the last few years, however, a number of methods have been proposed which fulfil, more or less, the necessary requirement of protecting the starch constituents from ...

Th e pasting behavior of native Water Chestnut Starch – hydrocolloids mixtures was studied. Th e eff ect of Xanthan, Guar, Carboxy Methyl Cellulose and Acacia on Water Chestnut Starch was examined by using micro Viscoamylograph. It was noticed that all hydrocolloids greatly modify the pasting properties of water chestnut starch. Results showed that gelatinization temperature of water chestnut s...

Certain species of microalgae are natural accumulators of lipids, while others are more inclined to store starch. However, what governs the preference to store lipids or starch is not well understood. In this study, the microalga Dunaliella tertiolecta was used as a model to study the global gene expression profile regulating starch accumulation in microalgae. D. tertiolecta, when depleted of n...

Yu K., Wang Y., Xu Y., Guo L., Du X. (2016): Correlation between wheat starch annealing conditions and retrogradation during storage. Czech J. Food Sci., 34: 79–86. The effects of annealing conditions on the degree of retrogradation (DR) in wheat starch were analysed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Three annealing parameters were varied, namely moisture (...

Among the various environmental issues, waste management is a foremost area where effectual and exhaustive consumption of wastes and attaining useful products in natal ways are concentrated. Cassava the tuber crop, exploited for starch and sago production.The aim of this work is management of cassava sago industrial waste, because its availability is vast particularly in salem. Bio ethanolhigh ...

Aims and Objective: The present study was carried out with an objective to compare 4% succinylated gelatin with 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 for preloading prior to cardiopulmonary bypass in coronary artery bypass grafting patients with respect to haemodynamics status, blood loss, transfusion requirement, ICU stay and complication. Methods: The study enrolling 60 patients of either sex, aged ...

The majority of workers are agreed that the digestion of carbohydrate in the rumen is brought about by the micro-organisms living there, and furthermore, that the microflora plays a much larger part in these processes than the microfauna, for if the Protozoa are removed by drenching with dilute copper sulphate, the digestive processes continued unhampered (see Van der Wath, 1942). The precise r...

Starch and soluble sugars are the major photosynthetic products, and their carbon isotope signatures reflect external versus internal limitations of CO(2) fixation. There has been recent renewed interest in the isotope composition of carbohydrates, mainly for use in CO(2) flux partitioning studies at the ecosystem level. The major obstacle to the use of carbohydrates in such studies has been th...

The Amflora (EH92-527-1) potato is a genetically modified (GM) potato in which only starch of the amylopectin form is produced. This has been achieved by intervening with the biosynthesis of starch in this variety of potato. The Amflora potato is solely grown for the purposes of enhancing its industrial application. Although the Amflora potato is not fit for human consumption, the presence of t...

Ohmic heating offers an alternating to conventional heating because it simultaneously heats both phases by internal energy generated through electrical energy. In this process heating rate depends upon the electrical conductivity and field strength. By this method a product undergoes a minimum structural damage, retain its nutritional value. This technique gives excellent processed quality prod...
