- Abstract
- High amylose corn starch was dissolved in an aqueous dimethyl sulfoxide solution and allowed to form complexes by migrating gravimetrically into n-butanol layer through a membrane filter at 70 degrees C. The starch-butanol complex yielded V61-type crystals with broad reflections at d-spacings of 0.657 and 0.446 nm under an X-ray diffractogram. The amylose, the average Mw of which was 2.69 x 10(5) as determined by size-exclusion column chromatography, mostly contributed to complex formation. Platelets of an average length less than 100 nm, interspersed in amorphous matrices, were observed in the crude complex. By hydrolyzing the crude complex with alpha-amylase, amorphous matrices were removed and starch crystallites of 10-20 nm. showing a V61 X-ray diffraction pattern at d-spacings 1.187, 0.685, 0.448 and 0.394 nm, were obtained. The average chain length of starch residing in the crystalline complex was DP 9, indicating that single crystallite units consisted of approximately 1.5 helical turn of anhydroglucose chains (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
