Amylose Hexanoate

Physicochemical studies of other aliphatic, carboxylic esters of polysaccharides include (a) assessment of the gel-permeation properties of the series cellulose propionate-cellulose heptanoate, (b) dissolution of cellulose acetate phthalate, (c) monolayer properties of amylose acetate, and (d) melting and transition temperatures of the series amylose acetate-amylose hexanoate. Amylose acetate assumes a helical conformation at air-water interfaces and in oriented films, and the X-ray-analysis data for mannan acetate imply a threefold screw-axis... [Pg.331]

X-ray diffraction analysis754 of a series of amylose complexes with lower and higher fatty acids revealed that the crystal structures depend on whether amylose was complexed in the dry or wet state. Both the 6, and 7i helical conformations of amylose were found in these complexes. The conformation appears to depend on the length of the hydrophobic moiety. Dry amylose forms crystalline complexes with a unit cell identical to that of the anhydrous 1-butanol-starch complex (lattice parameters a = b = 25.6 A). An orthorhombic unit cell was proposed for the 7i -helical structure of the wet complexes of monobasic acids (acetic, butanoic, pentanoic, hexanoic,... [Pg.371]
