โฆ Synopsis
Abstract
Complete dissolution is needed for the separation, characterization, or homogeneous labeling of whole starch molecules. A method is presented to quantify the extent of starch dissolution in DMSO for the first time; it is validated on a commercial rice starch. It is used directly on starch dispersions containing possible undissolved or coโdissolved species. Highโamylose maize starches, known to be digested slowly in vivo, only quantitatively dissolve in the presence of high concentrations of an Hโbond disrupter, LiBr, although they form clear dispersions at low LiBr concentrations. Starch quantitatively dissolves from waxy rice flours; nonโstarch components partially coโdissolve but do not interfere with the dissolution quantification.
