- Abstract
- Rice starch was modified using Thermus aquaticus 4-alpha-glucanotransferase (TA alpha GTase) in this study. The changes in the molecular structure and the effect on the starch retrogradation by TA alpha GTase treatment were investigated on isolated rice starch. By treating TA alpha GTase, molecular weight profile of amylopectins shifted to higher elution time from 1.0 x 10(8) to 2.4 x 10(7) or 0.8 x 10(7), depending on the level of enzyme dosage. Meanwhile, there were huge increases in the proportions of content corresponding to amylose size and even smaller molecules. On treating with TA alpha GTase, short branch chains (DP 1-8) increased, and longer branch chains (>DP 19) increased significantly as well, with a broader distribution up to DP 46 compared to the control rice starch. Amylose content decreased from 30.0 to 21.8-23.7%. This indicated that the amylose could be transferred to the amylopectin branch chain by the disproportionation of TA alpha GTase, resulting in lowering the amylose content and the formation of amylopectin with a broader branch-chain length distribution. TA alpha GTase modified rice starch showed that X-ray diffraction pattern of the B-type crystalline even before cold storage, and that a variety of cyclic glucans (DP 5-19) were produced by enzymatic reaction. In particular, the accelerated rate of starch retrogradation was clearly observed compared to the control due to an overall increase in the number of elongated long-branch chains, decrease in the amount of amylose-lipid complex, and the possible synergistic effects of these factors.
