Abstract:

Debranched jackfruit seed starch (DS) and debranched jackfruit seed amylopectin (DAP) were prepared by pullulanase or isoamylase, and the differences between the DS and DAP was investigated. The results showed that DS had a broad molecular weight distribution while DAP had a narrow molecular weight distribution. Pullulanase DS and DAP had a lower average molecular weight due to more complete hydrolysis of the α-1,6 glycosidic bonds. Pullulanase hydrolysis was more effective for shorter lateral chains, whereas isoamylase could hydrolyze outer branching linkages of amylopectin. Isoamylase DAP had a higher proportion of B2, B3 chains and the longest average chain length, resulting in a lower peak viscosity, trough viscosity, breakdown, final viscosity and setback, but a higher gelatinization temperature. Therefore, both the selection of starch debranching enzymes and the amylose/amylopectin composition could lead to the significant differences (p<0.05) in the molecular structure and pasting properties. According to the specific needs, the appropriate methods could be used to enhance or inhibit the inherent properties of jackfruit seed starch or endow it new specific properties.

Key words: jackfruit seed starch, debranched starch, pullulanase, isoamylase, molecular structure, pasting properties
