Abstract
Amylose is commonly used to encapsulate various guest molecules to form complexes, thereby enhancing the biological stability of either the guest molecules or amylose itself. This stability is closely related to the conformation and aggregation structure of the complexes. In this study, the formation and structure of amylose-γ-oryzanol were investigated using molecular simulation and experiments. The results showed that in the system composed of amylose, γ-oryzanol, and water solvent, amylose could form a spiral structure composed of six glucose residues, with a spiral cavity diameter of 12.1 Å. And one γ-oryzanol molecule was bound to an average of 14 glucose residues of the amylose helix. The van der Waals force (−241.7 kJ/mol) was the predominant intermolecular force maintaining the stability of the complex. The interaction between amylose and γ-oryzanol weakened the interaction between starch molecules and promoted the formation of the V-shaped crystal-ordered structure.
期刊介绍:
LWT - Food Science and Technology is an international journal that publishes innovative papers in the fields of food chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, technology and nutrition. The work described should be innovative either in the approach or in the methods used. The significance of the results either for the science community or for the food industry must also be specified. Contributions written in English are welcomed in the form of review articles, short reviews, research papers, and research notes. Papers featuring animal trials and cell cultures are outside the scope of the journal and will not be considered for publication.
