Starch proteins

A rather impressive Hst of materials and products are made from renewable resources. For example, per capita consumption of wood is twice that of all metals combined. The ceUulosic fibers, rayon and cellulose acetate, are among the oldest and stiU relatively popular textile fibers and plastics. Soy and other oilseeds, including the cereals, are refined into important commodities such as starch, protein, oil, and their derivatives. The naval stores, turpentine, pine oil, and resin, are stiU important although their sources are changing from the traditional gum and pine stumps to tall oil recovered from pulping. 

The consumables represent the essential food or nutritional reqirirements. Conventionally they include sugars, starches, proteins, vitamins, trace elements, oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen but bacteria are probably the most omnivorous of all living organisms and to the above list may be added plastic, mbber, kerosene, naphthalene, phenol and cement. One is left feeling that there is no substance which is immune to microbial... 

With few exceptions, small particles of vegetable foods are generally stripped of their more accessible nutrients during digestion in the GI tract. In this way starch, protein, fat and water-soluble small components (sugars, minerals) are usually well absorbed. This is not always the case, however, for larger food particles or for molecules that cannot diffuse out of the celF tissue. Neither is it the case for the lipid-soluble components. These need to be dissolved in lipid before they can be physically removed from the cell to the absorptive surface, since the cell wall is unlikely to be permeable to lipid emulsions or micelles, and the presence of lipases will strip away the solvating lipid.

Wheat is normally dry milled. Maize can be dry milled but is normally wet milled. The wet milling process allows the maize to be fractionated into starch protein and oil. 

Grain legumes have also been processed into refined starch (10,11) and protein isolates (12,13,14) by procedures derived from the traditional corn starch and soybean protein industries (15). However, comparative data on product yields, composition and losses have not been published. A commercial plant for the wet processing of field pea into refined starch, protein isolate and refined fiber has been established in Western Canada. Little is known about the characteristics of the protein isolate or refined fiber product. Water-washed starch prepared from the air-classified starch fractions of field pea (16,17) and fababean (6) have been investigated for certain physico-chemical and pasting properties. Reichert (18) isolated the cell wall material from soaked field pea cotyledons and determined its fiber composition and water absorption capacity. In addition, the effects of drying techniques on the characteristics of pea protein Isolates have been determined (14). 

In a qualitative way, colloids are stable when they are electrically charged (we will not consider here the stability of hydrophilic colloids - gelatine, starch, proteins, macromolecules, biocolloids - where stability may be enhanced by steric arrangements and the affinity of organic functional groups to water). In a physical model of colloid stability particle repulsion due to electrostatic interaction is counteracted by attraction due to van der Waal interaction. The repulsion energy depends on the surface potential and its decrease in the diffuse part of the double layer the decay of the potential with distance is a function of the ionic strength (Fig. 3.2c and Fig. 

In this study, we present evidence for the first time of a three-way interaction among starch, protein, and lipid that alters starch paste viscosity profiles. (Adapted from Zhang and Hamaker, 2003)...

Lyophilic sols are true solutions of large molecules in a solvent, Solutions of starch, proteins, or polyvinyl alcohol in water are representative of numerous examples. Properties of these solutions at equilibrium (for example, density and viscosity) are regular functions of concentration and temperature, independent of the method of preparation. The solvent-macromolecule compound system may consist uf more than one phase, each phase in general containing both components. Thus, if a solid polymer is added to a solvent in an amount exceeding the solubility limit, the system will consist of a liquid phase (solvent with dissolved polymer) and a solid phase (polymer swollen with solvent, i.e., a polymer with dissolved solvent). 

Enzymes should be added to the feed together with the pre-mix. Granulated enzyme products may readily be mixed with feed components, as they are based on normal feed components such as wheat or soy grits. A wide range of enzyme products are available. Enzyme products should contain specific enzyme activities necessary to degrade specific substances such as glucans, starch, protein, pectin-like polysaccharides, phytic acid, raffinose, stachyose, hemicellulose, and cellulose.

An infrared image study of corn and oat-flour-based extrudates was reported by Cremer and Kaletunc.71 Spatial distributions of starch, protein and lipid were determined. Starch was ubiquitous over the entire cross-section. The protein distribution possessed the smallest degree of uniformity and was inversely correlated with the starch distribution. The lipid distribution was correlated with neither the starch nor the protein distribution. 

As can be seen, as protein concentration increased, blandness decreased. Overall it was concluded that DSF and G were the blandest protein sources evaluated while SC was the least bland. Perhaps the differences in protein contents within the same series (DSF and SPC WPC and SC) produced these observed differences. It was also apparent that the two high temperature sets of samples were not as bland as the low temperature series. Within each set, high moisture produced blander tasting products than low moisture. More flavorful compounds were produced with high temperature, apparently due to thermal decomposition reactions. Perhaps, high moisture produced starch/protein structures do not permit the rapid and/or complete release of flavor compounds in the mouth.
