Notes:
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), alpha-amylolysis, and gel filtration chromatography (GFC) were used to characterize the lamellar morphology of solution-grown amyloseglyceryl monostearate (GMS) complexes. The complexes grown at 60°C and 90°C had melting temperatures of 100°C and 114°C, respectively. Both enzyme digested complexes had broad overlapping GFC chromatographs; however, the amylose-GMS-90°C complex had chain lengths 25% to 40% larger than the lower temperature complex. Assuming the main GFC peak was representative of the ordered lamellar regions, the complexes grown at 60°C and 90°C had helical chain segments of 104 Å and 145 Å, respectively. The influence of GMS addition on the twin screw extrusion of soft wheat flour was also investigated. Formation of a complex during extrusion, characteristic of the amylose-GMS-90°C polymorph, decreased the starch solubility, water holding capacity, enzyme susceptibility and degree of expansive-puffing of the extrudate.
