Abstract
Non-covalent forces are essential for the formation of starch-Mesona chinensis polysaccharide (MCP) gels. In this paper, the effects of hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions on the formation of rice starch (RS)-MCP gels. The addition of urea broke the hydrogen bonds and loosened the microstructure, reducing the gel viscosity, pasting temperature, and water molecule binding capacity. The decreased short-range ordering and double-helix structure corroborated the reduction of gel properties. Gaussian fitting showed that the intermolecular hydrogen bonding between RS and MCP was dominated by OH⋯π. Low concentrations of NaCl decreased the electrostatic repulsion between RS and MCP and promoted the formation of gel structure. The electrostatic shielding effect occurred with increasing NaCl concentration, and the storage modulus (G′) and melting enthalpy decreased. Compared to the changes in the electrostatic effect, the breaking of hydrogen bonds disrupted the gel structures obviously, therefore, hydrogen bonds were the main interaction force in gel formation. The research explored the effect on gel properties based on the changes in non-covalent force, which provided a new insight into starch-polysaccharide interactions. Concurrently, it also presented a novel entry point for research efforts to modulate the properties of gels.
期刊介绍:
Food Hydrocolloids publishes original and innovative research focused on the characterization, functional properties, and applications of hydrocolloid materials used in food products. These hydrocolloids, defined as polysaccharides and proteins of commercial importance, are added to control aspects such as texture, stability, rheology, and sensory properties. The research's primary emphasis should be on the hydrocolloids themselves, with thorough descriptions of their source, nature, and physicochemical characteristics. Manuscripts are expected to clearly outline specific aims and objectives, include a fundamental discussion of research findings at the molecular level, and address the significance of the results. Studies on hydrocolloids in complex formulations should concentrate on their overall properties and mechanisms of action, while simple formulation development studies may not be considered for publication.
The main areas of interest are:
-Chemical and physicochemical characterisation
Thermal properties including glass transitions and conformational changes-
Rheological properties including viscosity, viscoelastic properties and gelation behaviour-
The influence on organoleptic properties-
Interfacial properties including stabilisation of dispersions, emulsions and foams-
Film forming properties with application to edible films and active packaging-
Encapsulation and controlled release of active compounds-
The influence on health including their role as dietary fibre-
Manipulation of hydrocolloid structure and functionality through chemical, biochemical and physical processes-
New hydrocolloids and hydrocolloid sources of commercial potential.
The Journal also publishes Review articles that provide an overview of the latest developments in topics of specific interest to researchers in this field of activity.
