Starch: Chemistry and Technology, Second Edition focuses on the chemistry, processes, methodologies, applications, and technologies involved in the processing of starch. The selection first elaborates on the history and future expectation of starch use, economics and future of the starch industry, and the genetics and physiology of starch development. Discussions focus on polysaccharide biosynthesis, nonmutant starch granule polysaccharide composition, cellular developmental gradients, projected future volumes of corn likely to be used by the wet-milling industry, and organization of the corn wet-milling industry. The manuscript also tackles enzymes in the hydrolysis and synthesis of starch, starch oligosaccharides, and molecular structure of starch. The publication examines the organization of starch granules, fractionation of starch, and gelatinization of starch and mechanical properties of starch pastes. Topics include methods for determining starch gelatinization, solution properties of amylopectin, conformation of amylose in dilute solution, and biological and biochemical facets of starch granule structure. The text also takes a look at photomicrographs of starches, industrial microscopy of starches, and starch and dextrins in prepared adhesives. The selection is a vital reference for researchers interested in the processing of starch.read more

Banana starch: production, physicochemical properties, and digestibility—a review
TL;DR: The large quantity of green cull bananas has the potential of being used industrially and, thereby, to improve banana economics and eliminate the large environmental problem presented by banana waste as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pasting, paste, and gel properties of starch–hydrocolloid combinations
TL;DR: A review with 267 references as mentioned in this paper shows that, because of the complexity of the variety of systems, several mechanisms are likely to be operating and the proportions of competing mechanisms likely vary with different specific hydrocolloids, different starches, and different methods of preparation of composite pastes and gels.

Branch-structure difference in starches of A- and B-type X-ray patterns revealed by their Naegeli dextrins☆
TL;DR: In this paper, the A-type and B-type X-ray diffraction patterns of Naegeli dextrins were compared and the results indicated that the Atype starches had branch points scattered in both amorphous and crystalline regions, making them more susceptible to acid hydrolysis.

Developments in the understanding of starch functionality
TL;DR: In this article, the behavior of different types of starches is demonstrated by showing how the microstructure of potato and wheat starch is related to their rheological properties, and the results illustrate the structural importance of amylose and amylopectin.
