Comparative Study of Spring Dextrin Impact on Amylose Retrogradation

摘要

The effects of spring dextrin on amylose recrystallization were investigated by wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WXRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Recrystallinity of amylose was reduced in terms of adding SD_7, SD_9, or SD_(11). Alternatively, SD3 or SD5 accelerated the degree of crystallinity. DSC data were analyzed using the Avrami equation and confirmed the results of WXRD. Finally, molecular dynamic simulation was adapted to predict the behavior of polymers in water, and the results showed that the small spring dextrins disturbed amylose retrogradation by inhibiting or altering amylose-amylose interaction,
