Abstract
Starch retrogradation is a complex process, affected by several factors including storage temperature and the presence of non-starch components (such as polysaccharide). In this study, the effects of the endogenous yam non-starch polysaccharide (YNSP) with different concentrations on the yam starch (YS) retrogradation behavior were investigated by asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation (AF4), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Furthermore, the effects of isothermal and temperature-cycled storage on the retrogradation of YNSP + YS blend were systematically studied. An effect mechanism of the endogenous YNSP on the YS retrogradation during temperature-cycled storage was proposed. The results revealed that 4/-20 °C temperature-cycled storage facilitated YS retrogradation, owing to the formation of starch-rich regions during frozen storage. The mechanical squeezing force caused by the size growth of ice crystal during long-term frozen storage encouraged starch molecules to constantly rearrange, promoting YS retrogradation. Moreover, the YNSP can not only interact with amylose and amylopectin molecules to form aggregates that could promote YS short-term retrogradation, but also compete with amylopectin for water molecules, which might enhance the syneresis process during repeated freeze-chill storage, thereby facilitating YS retrogradation. The results suggested that a combination of AF4, FTIR, and XRD is a powerful method not only for monitoring the interaction between YNSP and YS, but also for investigating the effects of YNSP content and temperature on YS retrogradation. The present study might offer a theoretical foundation and guidance for the application of YNSP to starchy products.
期刊介绍:
Talanta provides a forum for the publication of original research papers, short communications, and critical reviews in all branches of pure and applied analytical chemistry. Papers are evaluated based on established guidelines, including the fundamental nature of the study, scientific novelty, substantial improvement or advantage over existing technology or methods, and demonstrated analytical applicability. Original research papers on fundamental studies, and on novel sensor and instrumentation developments, are encouraged. Novel or improved applications in areas such as clinical and biological chemistry, environmental analysis, geochemistry, materials science and engineering, and analytical platforms for omics development are welcome.
Analytical performance of methods should be determined, including interference and matrix effects, and methods should be validated by comparison with a standard method, or analysis of a certified reference material. Simple spiking recoveries may not be sufficient. The developed method should especially comprise information on selectivity, sensitivity, detection limits, accuracy, and reliability. However, applying official validation or robustness studies to a routine method or technique does not necessarily constitute novelty. Proper statistical treatment of the data should be provided. Relevant literature should be cited, including related publications by the authors, and authors should discuss how their proposed methodology compares with previously reported methods.
