3.1 Composition of wheat starch granules

The composition of starches and their separated A- and B- granules of two varieties are shown in Table 1. Amylose content of starches lies between 16.96 -24.69. The B-granules of the both varieties showed the lower value of amylose content while A- granules attributed to the high amylopectin to amylose ratio. Swelling power results the ability of starch to hydrate in specific cooking and heating process (90 °C/ 30 min.). The variation in swelling power of the starch and starch granules is due to change in strength in the bond forces with the granules (Leach et al.). Starch amylose content and granular properties affects the swelling power of the starches (Singh & Singh 2001).

1 (a & b), and pasting parameters are summarized in table 2. The pasting properties from both wheat varieties showed significant differences. For C-306, the unfractionated starch showed a higher peak, through, breakdown, final, and setback viscosities than the WH-147 unfractionated starch, while the WH-147 unfractionated starch had higher pasting temperature than the C-306 unfractionated starch. A-granules showed a higher peak, trough, breakdown, final, and setback viscosities than the B-granules starch, while the B-granule starch had higher pasting temperature than the A- granule starch counterparts (Table 2) for both the varieties. Though, the B-granules were characterized with the higher peak time in comparison to the A- granules, but the difference was not so significant. Similar results have been reported by Sahlstrom et al. (2003) and Jane (2007). Variations in the RVA parameters for both the varieties and in granules may be due to their difference in morphology and amylose …show more content…
The high pasting temperature of starches indicates a higher resistance to swelling and rupture (Li et al. 2011). During the cooling stage, glucan chains of starch molecules entangled to each other forming a gel and increase in the paste viscosity (Fig.1). The setback viscosity (difference between peak and final viscosity) is exhibited due to recrystallization of amylose molecules in the gel, which is the measure of the gelling ability or retrogradation ability of starches (Marie et al. 2004). Setback viscosity was higher for A- granules and B- granules in C-306 and WH- 147 respectively (table). This may be attributed due to the differences in amylose contents of the two

    The hypothesis that was tested in this experiment was that both strains of brewer’s yeast will grow better in fermentable sugars (sucrose) than in non-fermentable sugars (glycerol) because it is a better carbon source. The prediction for this experiment is that the fermentable sugar (sucrose) will cause the TRY 143 flo ↑ yeast to increase growth the greatest and the TRY 140 flo ↓ to increase in growth less significant than the TRY 143 flo ↑. This prediction is based upon the fact that TRY 143 ↑ has more gene expression than TRY 140 flo ↓ and because of this it is more adhesive to itself. For this experiment, the Sucrose should cause the diameter of TRY 143 flow ↑ to have the most growth compared to the other strain of…

    The amylase and starch may not have been mixed together properly at each time mark, which led to varied enzymatic activity and inconclusive or atypical results. Slight water residue was observed in the test tubes prior to use in the experiment, and may have contributed to the overall lack of enzyme activity (i.e. water may have diluted the enzymes). The iodine solution added to the spot plates just before the amylase-starch solution was added may have also contributed to the inconclusive results as it may have oxidized too quickly and the bond it should have formed with starch was not…

    These amylases are to be tried at various temperatures fluctuating from 0° C to 80° C noted between 2 minute intervals until time extents to 10 minutes. This experiment will help define optimal temperatures of the bacterial amylase and the fungal amylase. It is predicted that at temperature of 55° C bacterial amylase will have its optimal temperature considering that bacteria number increases in warmer places. Furthermore, when the temperature is at 40° C, fungal amylase will have its optimal temperature considering that fungi thrive in cooler places. Additional matters to be attended in the following laboratory experiment are the denaturation of enzymes at a certain temperatures and enzyme activity as temperatures increase or decrease in relation to the optimal…

    Overall, from this experiment the identity of every unknown carbohydrates and their categories can be found by using different types of reagent based on their functions and properties. Observations from every test are very important to distinguish the unknown carbohydrates into their relative categories such as monosaccharide, reducing sugar, pentoses, etc. Furthermore, reagents that react with the components in the unknown carbohydrates mainly the functional groups, for example : aldehyde group (-CH=O) and hydroxyl group ( -OH) can produce various outcomes at the end of the test like precipitation and change in colour which are also crucial in the identification of the unknown carbohydrates.…

    Macromolecules are a essential part of life, which make up living organisms. A macromolecule is a large molecule that is joined by tiny molecules by forming new bonds. This processs is called dehydration synthesis, and it is when a water molecule is removed and a covalent bond is formed. Breaking this bond is called hydrolysis, it is the the addition of a water molecule and releases energy. Examples of macromolecules would be nucleic acids, proteins, and polysaccharides (2 or more sugars).…

    Twenty equally sized chickpeas were weighed out and placed into a 250 mL beaker. Once the chickpeas were weighed out, 100 mL of 0 M, 1 M, and 3 M concentrated NaCl solutions were made. To ensure adequate hydrolysis, the chickpeas were covered with at least two to three centimeters of concentrated NaCl solution. A total of two trials of each concentrated NaCl solution were conducted over a total time period of 160 minutes. Besides the initial temperature of the solution, data was collected at 5 minutes and time intervals of ten minutes until 60 minutes have been reached, increasing the intervals to every twenty minutes until 160 minutes approaches.…

    Introduction Cells are the building blocks of the diverse idea we call life, which means that they must be as diverse as life as well. Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells make up most of the life on this planet, and vary widely in function, while still sharing some similarities. Prokaryotic cells, although simpler and smaller, make up most life. A nucleoid region contains a loop of nucleic acids known as a DNA plasmid. Prokaryotic cells contain simplified ribosomes which free float in cytoplasm all bound by a cell membrane and wall.…

    This used the already gelatinized starch from Experiment 2.1, where amylase is 25% present. The production of saliva, is when α-amylase is secreted to start the digestion process (Bailey and Howard 1963). Glucose, maltose, malotriose are all low molecular weight products that that are formed through hydrolysis of amylase of internal α-1,4 and α-1,6-glycosidic linkages (Fenemma and others 2008). Through gelatinization both amylose and amylopectin are realised making it easier for α-1,4 and α-1,6-glycosidic linkages to hydrolyze to form glucose products (Rogers 2015). With the formation of glucose and addition of Benedict’s solution hydrolysis occurred and there was formation of reducing sugars (Fenemma and others 2008).…
