The bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) analysed in this study has been produced by genetically eliminating the starch synthase IIa and shows apparent high amylose (HA) in the flour starch. Some starch properties of the HA wheat were analysed. The HA wheat contained 2.8–3.6% resistant starch (RS), much more than the normal (control) wheat, which contained almost no RS. Autoclaving the HA and normal wheat starches increased RS. The former contained 10.5% RS and the latter 5.9 or 6.8% RS. Swelling of the HA wheat starch and its pasting properties using Rapid ViscoAnalyzer (RVA) were investigated. Swelling power (g/g) of the HA wheat in 0.1% AgNO3 and swelling volume (mL/g) in urea solution were significantly less than those of the normal wheat. The RVA profile of the HA wholemeal and starch also differed from the normal. The peak viscosity, minimum viscosity, and final viscosity of HA were low, and breakdown (peak minus minimum viscosity) was very small. These findings show that amount of resistant starch and pasting properties are unique in the HA wheat starch, probably caused by lack of starch synthase IIa.

Background: The purpose of the study was to prepare acetylated wheat starches which have amylase hydrolysis resistant capacity to use as functional food supporting for diabetes treatment. Method: Acetate wheat starches were prepared by acetylation reaction of native wheat starch with different mole ratios of acetic anhydride. These starches were determined for the physicochemical properties by 1H-NMR, SEM, X-ray, DSC, solubility and swelling capacity, the resistant capacity by amylase hydrolysis in-vitro. Results: Acetate wheat starches were prepared successfully with the increase in acetyl content and degree of substitution corresponding with the increase of anhydride acetic, which resulted in the change of physicochemical properties of the wheat starches, including constitution, solubility, swelling capacity and contributed to the increase in resistant starch content in the acetate wheat starches. The AC150-9 containing 2.42% acetyl with degree of substitution 0,094 and resistant starch 32,11% is acceptable by FDA guideline about food safety. Conclusion: Acetate wheat starches contain low rate of digestive starch, while containing a higher proportion of resistant starch than natural wheat starch, possessing a high resistance to amylase activities. Thus, it is hope that this kind of starch to control the rapid increase of postprandual blood glucose response for diabetes treatments effectively.

Starches were extracted from chickpea (C.P.), corn (C.S.), Turkish bean (T.B.), sweet potato (S.P.S.), and wheat starches (W.S.). These starches exhibited different amylose contents. The extracted starches were annealed in excess water and in germinated sorghum extract (GSE) (1.0 g starch/9 mL water). The α-amylase concentration in the GSE was 5.0 mg/10 mL. Annealing was done at 40, 50, and 60 °C for 30 or 60 min. The pasting properties of annealed starches were studied using Rapid Visco-Analyzer (RVA), in addition to the swelling power. These starches exhibited diverse pasting properties as evidenced by increased peak viscosity with annealing, where native starches exhibited peak viscosity as: 2828, 2438, 1943, 2250, and 4601 cP for the C.P., C.S., T.B., W.S., and S.P.S., respectively, which increased to 3580, 2482, 2504, 2514, and 4787 cP, respectively. High amylose content did not play a major role on the pasting properties of the tested starches because sweet potato starch (S.P.S.) (22.4% amylose) exhibited the highest viscosity, whereas wheat starch (W.S.) (25% amylose) had the least. Therefore, the dual effects of granule structure and packing density, especially in the amorphous region, are determinant factors of the enzymatic digestion rate and product. Swelling power was found to be a valuable predictive tool of amylose content and pasting characteristics of the tested starches. The studied starches varied in their digestibility and displayed structural differences in the course of α-amylase digestion. Based on these findings, W.S. was designated the most susceptible among the starches and S.P.S. was the least. The most starch gel setback was observed for the legume starches, chickpeas, and Turkish beans (C.P. 2553 cP and T.B. 1172 cP). These results were discussed with regard to the underlying principles of swelling tests and pasting behavior of the tested starches. Therefore, GSE is an effortless economic technique that can be used for starch digestion (modification) at industrial scale.

Foods rich in amylose and resistant starch (RS) have great potential to improve human health and lower the risk of noninfectious diseases. Common wheat (Triticum aestivumL.) is a major staple food crop with low RS content in the grains. The content of RS, preferentially derived from amylose, may be increased by suppressing amylopectin synthesis viasilencing the starch branching enzyme (SBE) II a or/and starch synthase (SS)IIa. In this study, SBEIIaand SSIIawere silenced separately and simultaneously using a barley stripe mosaic virus-virus-induced gene silencing (BSMV-VIGS) system. Compared with grains from control BSMV:00-inoculated spikes, grains from BSMV:SBEIIa-and BSMV:SSIIa-infected spikeshad fewer SBEIIa and SSIIa transcripts,together with increased amylose contents (18.62 and 24.48%, respectively) and RS contents (11.61 and 16.67%, respectively). Infection with BSMV:SBEIIa-SSIIa reduced SBEIIa and SSIIatranscript levels and increased the amylose and RS contents (32.02 and 22.33%, respectively). Thus, BSMV-VIGS is a useful tool for the rapid silencing of single or multiple starch synthase-related genes and BSMV shows great potential to study the functions of genes involved in starch biosynthesis or other processes/traits in developing grains.We showed that the SSIIagene plays an important role in the synthesis of amylose and RS and that the effects of simultaneously silencing SBEIIaand SSIIaon starch synthesis aregreater than those of single gene silencing. Our study lays the foundation for the molecular design-based breeding of high-amylose and high-RS wheat.© 2021 Friends Science Publishers

Changes in human lifestyle and food consumption have resulted in a large increase in the incidence of type-2 diabetes, obesity, and colon disease, especially in Asia. These conditions are a growing threat to human health, but consumption of foods high in resistant starch (RS) can potentially reduce their incidence. Strategies to increase RS in rice are limited by a lack of knowledge of its molecular basis. Through map-based cloning of a RS locus in indica rice, we have identified a defective soluble starch synthase gene (SSIIIa) responsible for RS production and further showed that RS production is dependent on the high expression of the Waxya (Wxa) allele, which is prevalent in indica varieties. The resulting RS has modified granule structure; high amylose, lipid, and amylose–lipid complex; and altered physicochemical properties. This discovery provides an opportunity to increase RS content of cooked rice, especially in the indica varieties, which predominates in southern Asia.

The wheat resistant starch type 3 (RS3) was prepared by the ultrasonic wave-enzyme method. The physicochemical and structure properties of the samples were studied. Results showed that: compared with native wheat starch, the granule structure of RS3 disappeared and the surfaces were awfully rough with obvious folds. Meanwhile the crystal structure appeared intensively showing irregular sheet shape. RS3 lost pasting properties of native starch and enhanced the resistance to enzyme attack. The crystallization structure of RS3 was a mixture of B–type and V–type.
