Introduction | amylose is the main component of starch granules (generally 20-25%) together with amylopectin, it is a long bond compound in which glucopyranose is linked only by α-1,4-bonds, and is also called β-amylose. It does not swell and dissolves in water, but does not form a typical paste with hot water, and reacts with iodine in blue on cooling, with a molecular weight of about 50,000. From the soluble part of starch dissolved in warm water or dilute acid plus alcohol precipitation, there are also very few beta -1,6-branch, alpha-amylase and beta-amylase in malt (cut off Alpha -1,4 Bond) and the joint action of isoamylase, can be completely hydrolyzed to maltose. |
molecular structure | the glucose units in amylose molecules are linked by α-1,4 glucosidic bonds. The molecule is linear, unbranched, and has a chain length of about 100 to 6000 units. The proportion of amylose and amylopectin contained in natural starch varies with plant varieties. The amylose content of common cereal and potato starch is between 17% and 27%, sticky sorghum and glutinous rice does not contain amylose, all amylopectin, although some varieties also contain a very small amount of amylose, but in 2%. Amylose is composed of 250 to 300 D-glucose molecules connected by Alpha 1,4 glycosidic bonds into a line, coiled into a spiral, with a non-reducing end and a reducing end. The molecular weight of amylose varies widely, ranging from thousands to 150 000; Reacting with iodine in blue, this is due to the fact that when Amylose is suspended in water, the interior of the spiral coil is occupied by molecular iodine (I2). Amylopectin is a shrub-like structure in which 24 to 30 D glucose molecules not only form short chains with α1,4 glycosidic bonds, but also connect the short chains with α1,6 glycosidic bonds. |
starch | starch is widely present in the seeds of most terrestrial plants (e. G. Wheat, rice, maize, etc, tubers (such as potatoes, tubers, etc.) and dried fruits (such as chestnut, ginkgo, etc.). Starch is generally named according to plant origin. Starch (C6H10O5)n is an organic carbohydrate, which can also be regarded as a condensation polymer of glucose. It can be hydrolyzed to produce glucose under the action of acid and some enzymes. Starch is a polysaccharide stored in plants and consists of two components, amylose and amylopectin. In starch granules, Amylose is often only 20-28%, and the rest is amylopectin. In some starches, the ratio of amylose to Amylopectin is a major factor in determining their properties. Amylose is composed of 1-4 glycosidic linkages linked to alpha-D glucopyranose motifs. The oxygen atom and C- 1 hydroxyl group of the glycosidic bond formed by C- 2 carbon atoms on the six members of the glucose ring are both on the same side of the ring, while in cellulose both are on the hetero side (β-D-glucopyranose). This ipsilateral or heterolateral nature of the C- 2 hydroxy and 1-4 glycosidic linkages appears to be a minor difference in spatial arrangement, but results in a non-negligible difference between amylose and cellulose properties. Depending on the type of starch, the degree of polymerization (D.P.) varies from about 250 to 400 glucose motifs, The relative molecular mass ranged from 40000 to 650000. Amylopectin has a highly branched structure, and its linear chain has a degree of polymerization of 12-15 glucose motifs, with an average chain length of about 20 glucose motifs. The main chain and the branched chain are linked by α-1-6 glycosidic bonds. The average length of the branches is about 12 to 18 glucose motifs. Figure 1 shows the molecular structure of amylose. |
separation of amylose and amylopectin | amylose and amylopectin in starch molecules can be partially separated by physical methods, and do not damage and maintain the original properties. There are several common separation methods. Hot water separation method: using hot water to extract the expanded corn starch grains, 5%~ 20% Amylose can be put forward, the extract is evaporated, the analysis can be determined mainly amylose, most of the residual fraction not proposed was amylopectin. The method of hot water separation is based on weakening the structure of the particles to propose molecules that are less tightly linked and disordered in crystalline lattice arrangement. Amylose can slowly diffuse out of the expanded ions, the amylopectin diffusion rate is zero, but the method of hot water separation is not very complete, because the amylose molecules are very disordered, so that the diffusion rate is very slow, on the other hand, amylopectin, which is close to the surface of the particles, may also be detached from the mixture with amylose, thus requiring separation by other means. Selective precipitation of alcohols: it has been found that butanol and Pentanol can cause the selective precipitation of amylose, the precipitation of amylose, and Amylopectin is left in solution, although the precipitation of amylose brings about a large amount of amylopectin, it is also possible to separate amylose from amylopectin by reprecipitation. If the unprecipitated part still contains a small amount of amylose and is still dark blue by Iodine test, it indicates that there is still amylose, which can be absorbed by cotton fiber, and the amylose of this part is below 10%, after removal, the blue color disappeared in the iodine test, and the remaining part was pure amylopectin. Fiber adsorption method: cotton or filter paper can strongly adsorb amylose, after adsorption and then washed with hot water, can wash the amylose. Figure 2 shows the properties of amylose and amylopectin. |
Retrogradation | starch molecules contain a large number of hydroxyl groups, making the starch hydrophilic. In addition to their hydrophilicity, these hydroxyl groups attract each other to form hydrogen bonds. Linear Amylose is easy to side-by-side with each other, using hydroxyl groups to form hydrogen bonds between chains. When sufficient interchain hydrogen bonds are generated, the individual amylose molecules associate to form molecular aggregates, which decrease their hydration capacity and thus also decrease their solubility. In dilute solutions (concentrations below w = 1%), amylose precipitates out. In a concentrated suspension, the aggregated amylose will contain the liquid in the partially associated amylose molecular network, forming a gel. This alignment, association, and precipitation process is primarily a crystallization process, known by the starch chemists as abatement. The higher the temperature (80~150 ℃), the lower the degree of reduction, the larger the amylose molecule, the slower the rate of reduction. When pH is 5~7, the reduction is the fastest; When pH is greater than 10, the reduction cannot be performed; When pH is below 2, the speed is very slow; Monovalent cations and anions can block the reduction. Many modifications of the starch are prepared as required to inhibit or eliminate the decaying tendency of amylose. Branched chain deposition is not as prone to depolymerization or crystallization as amylose. |
