Cereal Chem. 70(2):137-144 Wheat and corn starches were phosphorylated in a semidry state at P from phospholipids), and its pasting properties showed optimum 1300C with 5% (based on dry starch) sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) thickening power with shear stability when cooked at 950C. The best and/or 2% sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP). All phosphorylation corn starch phosphate, judging from its pa...

Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and hydroxyethyl starch were found to support rapid growth of two hematopoietic cell lines. The polymers were not metabolized by the cells. In the presence of these compounds, lower rates of glucose utilization and lactic acid production were observed. The uptake of glucose by the cells decreased as the concentration of the polymer in the medium was increased. The...

Intermediary forms of microbodies, glyoxyperoxisomes, are most likely synthesized at the stage of replacement of glyoxysomes by peroxisomes during the greening of fatstoring cells of cucumber cotyledons. This hypothesis is supported by three lines of results: 1. The levels of both glycollate oxidase and malate synthase are increased in the microbody fractions upon illumination of cotyledons. 2....

Collagen was extracted from the skin of pigs, and blended with sodium alginate, starch, and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose. Food packaging films were obtained by crosslinking the blend with glutaraldehyde. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), SEM and TGA analyses were used to characterize the resulting films. A strong hydrogen bonding was detected between the composite film molecule...

Production of extracellular amylase was demonstrated under conditions of high salinity in aerobically cultivated culture of a newly isolated moderately halophilic Gram-positive coccus, designated strain F in basal medium containing peptone from meat, yeast extract, NaCl (7% w/v) and starch. Biochemical and physiological characterization along with 16S rRNA sequence analysis placed F in the genu...

The hydrolysis of potato starch by pancreatin has been the subject of much investigation, particularly by Sherman and his pupils (I), who have studied the action of both malt and pancreatic amylase upon potato starch, especially with reference to optimum concentration of enzyme, substrate, pH value, and concentration of activating salts. The best conditions of hydrolysis were at (2) 40” in the ...

A series of well-characterized starch-g-polyacrylonitrile (PAN) graft copolymers was prepared from corn starch which had been heated in water at temperatures up to 94°C to vary the extent of starch granule swelling and disruption. Graft polymerization onto gelatinized starch gave less frequent grafting of higher molecular weight PAN than comparable graft polymerizations onto ungelatinized starc...

Digestibility of starch is an essential issue in food science studies due to its close relationship with human health. Most common starchy foods contain rapidly digestible starch, which can lead chronic diseases, including type II diabetes. Heat–moisture treated potato (HPS) followed by inclusion complexation guest molecules prepared improve starch's physicochemical properties, resulting reduce...

The purpose of this research was to mask the intensely bitter taste of diclofenac sodium and to formulate an orally-disintegrating tablet (ODT)) of the taste-masked drug. The methods commonly employed for achieving effective taste masking include various physical and chemical methods that prevent the drug substance from interaction with the taste buds. In this present study we have used veegum(...
