Starch potato model

Figure 5.16 Schematic model for the arrangement of amylopectin in potato starch. Crystalline layers containing double helical linear segments in amylopectin molecules form a continuous network consisting of left-handed helices packed in tetragonal arrays. Neighboring molecules are shifted relative to each other by half the helical pitch. (Adapted with permission from reference 3)...

Figure 8.8 The B- to A-type transition of B-type potato starch lintners (DP 15) at 35% water content (d.b.). The arrows on the DSC thermal curve specify the temperatures at which the lintners were heated prior to x-ray analysis.320 The model of Perez et al.320 for the solid state polymorphic transition B to A is also shown, illustrating the progressive removal ofwater molecules (small dots) and the change in packing of chain duplexes the chain duplexes marked with 0 and Vi indicate their relative translation along the c axis.

The factors must vary continuously over the experimental range tested. For example, the variables of pH, aeration rate, and agitation rate are continuous and can be used in an RSM model. Variables such as carbon source (potato starch vs com symp) or nitrogen source (cotton seed meal vs soy bean meal) are noncontinuous and cannot be optimized by RSM. However, level of com symp or level of soy bean meal are continuous and can be optimized. 

Cooking starch in the presence of amino acids may favour the occurrence of Maillard reactions, lowering the bioavailability of lysine in the diet. 13C CPMAS was used to follow the effect of Maillard reactions on the bioavailability of potato starch.124 A loss of crystallinity was found for the three samples studied starch, amylopectin, and amylose, being more marked for amylose. A similar study on chestnut starch indicated that Maillard reactions do not influence significantly its digestibility.125 NMR was used to characterize some Maillard reaction products extracted from model reactive mixtures such as starch-glucose-lysine 126 and lactose-lysine.127...

As an illustration of SLS, in what follows, we give some interesting examples of the application of this technique to study the structure of complex systems. Figure 18.8 shows the experimental results of Galinsky and Burchard [44] on the determination of P 6) for a collection of seven samples of branched macromolecules in a solution of 0.5 N NaOH, prepared from potato starch by controlled acid degradation. Previously, Burchard [45] had derived a form factor for trifunctional polycondensation model without excluded volume effects, namely.
