Recent studies of the mechanisms determining the rate and extent of starch digestion by α-
amylase are reviewed in the light of current widely-used classifications for (a) the …

Abstract Cassava (Manihot esculenta. Crantz) is a starch‐rich, woody tuberous, root crop
important for food, with little being done to investigate its potential as a bioenergy crop …

This study investigated the possibility of enhancing the properties of collagen with three
different maize starches: waxy maize starch, normal starch, and high amylose starch …

Nature has developed starch granules varying in size from less than 1 μm to more than 100
μm. The granule size is an important factor affecting the functional properties and the …

The amylopectin molecular structures and functional properties of different-sized fractions of
normal and high-amylose maize starches were investigated and compared in this study. The …

This work aimed to determine which plasticizer is suitable for films based on babassu starch
isolated by steeping in water (WS), acid steeping (AS), or alkaline steeping (KS) with a view …

Ethanol is one of the main biobased molecule produced worldwide, mainly from corn and
other starchy crops. In the past few years, one promising technology that has been claimed …

The effects of explosion puffing (EP) on the native structural organization (ie, thermal
properties, crystalline structure, short-range order, granule morphology and powder …

Starch is a vital component of wheat grain and flour, characterized by two distinct granule
types: A-type starch (AS) with granules larger than 10 μm in diameter, and B-type starch (BS) …

High-amylose cereal starches provide many health benefits for humans. The inhibition or
mutation of starch branching enzyme (SBE) genes is an effective method to develop high …
