Starch is arranged in a crystalline manner within its storage granules and should thus give sharp X-ray diagrams. Unfortunately most of the common starch granules have sizes between 1 and 100μm, making them too small for an X-ray study on individual grains. There is only one instance where an oriented X-ray diagram could be obtained on one sector of an individual giant starch granule. Despite their small size, starch granules are still too thick to be studied by electron diffraction with a transmission electron microscope. The only reported study on starch ultrastructure using electron diffraction on frozen hydrated material was made on small fragments. The present study has been realized on thin sectioned granules previously litnerized to improve the signal to noise ratio.Potato starch was hydrolyzed for 10 days in 2.2N HCl at 35°C, dialyzed against water until neutrality and embedded in Nanoplast. Sectioning was achieved with a commercially available low-angle “35°” diamond knife (Diatome) after a very carefull trimming and a pre-sectioning with a classical “45°” diamond knife. Sections obtained at a final sectioning angle of 42.2° (compared with the usual 55-60°) and at a nominal thickness of 900Å were collected on a Formvar-carbon coated grid. The exact location of the starch granules in their sections was recorded by optical microscopy on a Zeiss Universal polarizing microscope (Fig. 1a). After rehydration at a relative humidity of 95% for 24 hours they were mounted on a Philips cryoholder and quench frozen in liquid nitrogen before being inserted under frozen conditions in a Philips EM 400T electron microscope equipped with a Gatan anticontaminator and a Lhesa image intensifier.

AbstractSoap facial cleanser is needed to keep the facial skin to keep them clean and healthy. The purpose of this study to make soap cleanser with natural materials such as hard water deposits leri. This is because the use of leri water starch or starch granules of fine particles contained in water leri dansel dust can shed the dead skin on the face because of the essential amino acids contained can regenerate skin cells. In addition, water leri can brighten the face because the leri water oryzanol contain substances that can update the development and formation of the pigment melanin, which is effectively to ward off ultraviolet rays. The process of making soap using the principle of saponification reaction, namely the reaction between the oil and the KOH/NaOH. Facial cleansing soap made in this study is solid soap. Based on the results of quality test, soap solid leri water has a pH of 11.1, saponification number is 33, the water content of 46% as well as respondents to the test aspects of aroma and foam shows good results so this water leri treatment can be an alternative solution to prevent the use of soap facial cleansers that contain harmful chemicals. Keywords: air leri, soap cleanser, saponification  AbstrakSabun pembersih wajah sangat diperlukan untuk menjaga kulit wajah agar tetap bersih dan sehat.

In the present work, we developed a miniaturized method for determining amylopectin chain length distribution (CLD) by fluorescence-assisted capillary electrophoresis (FACE). The method relies on single granule entrapping into capillaries followed by direct starch gelatinization and amylopectin debranching on carbograph-based solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridges. Sample desalting on HypersepTM tips following APTS-labelling and the use of nanovials allowed for the fluorescence analysis of weakly diluted samples. Consequently, method sensitivity was improved by 500-fold which is compatible with the analysis of single potato starch granules. The method was implemented to determine CLD profiles of single starch granules ranging from 50 to 100 µm in diameter. In these experiments, the relative proportion of starch glucans of up to 30 degrees of polymerization (DP) could be quantified.

The effect of acid modification using 1mol/L HCl on viscosity, thermal properties and mechanical properties of potato starch pastes and starch film were investigated. After acid modification, the surface of starch granules did not show more roughness and viscosity of starch pastes become lower. The results of DSC indicated that acid should act on amorphous region of starch firstly and would act on the crystallization region with the longer treatment time. In the very close viscosity scope, the mechanical properties of starch films were increased obviously after acid modification.

Исследованы особенности катионизации картофельного крахмала N-(3-хлоро-2-гидроксипропил)-N,N,N-триметиламмоний хлоридом (ХГПТМАХ). В качестве методов исследования применяли фотографирование (макросъемку), ЯМР- и ИК-спектроскопию, рентгенографию для исследования фазовой структуры. Проведены фазовый и гравиометрический анализ и представлены расчеты степени кристалличности (СК) и степени аморфности образцов нативного и катионного картофельного крахмала. При исследовании особенностей химического строения полученного катионного картофельного крахмала со степенью замещения 0,042 выявлено присутствие остатков α-D-глюкопиранозы и ХГПТМАХ, что свидетельствует об изменении аморфно-кристаллической структуры. Установлено существенное уменьшение СК картофельного крахмала после его катионизации при температурах, приводящих к сильному набуханию крахмальных гранул в реакционной смеси. Эти изменения тем значительнее, чем выше температура реакции. Введение в макромолекулу крахмала катионных групп оказывает существенное влияние на термические характеристики крахмала, особенно на начальную температуру и механизм деградации. Features of cationization potato starch N-(3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl)-N,N,N-trimethylammonium chloride (CHPTMAC) is investigated. Photography (macro photography), NMR- and IR-spectroscopy, x-ray for the study of the phase structure were used as research methods. Phase and gravimetrical analyses carried out and calculations of crystallinity degree (CD) and of amorphousness degree of the samples of native and cationic potato starch are presented. In the study of the chemical structure of the obtaining cationic potato starch with a degree of substitution of 0,042 the presence of residues of α-D-glucopyranose and CHPTMAC revealed that indicates a change in the amorphous crystal structure. A significant decrease in the CD of potato starch after its cation at temperatures leading to a strong swelling of starch granules in the reaction mixture was established. These changes are more significant, the higher the reaction temperature. The introduction in the macromolecule of starch cationic groups has a significant impact on the thermal characteristics of starch, especially on the initial temperature and degradation mechanism.

It is well known from light microscope studies of potato starch that the granules formed in a constant environment (of light and temperature) have a ring formation indistinguishable from that of granules formed under field conditions. Electron microscope studies have confirmed that normal potato starch granules have a fine shell structure not usually resolved by the light microscope, and also that shells do not develop in barley granules grown in a constant environment. The paper presented here reports a further study of the dependence of shell formation on environment. Potatoes were grown in a constant environment and starch granules from the newly formed tubers were examined in the light microscope, and in the electron microscope after corrosion by acid. No difference between these granules and normal granules was observed; both wide (light microscope) rings and fine lamellae developed in both granules. Parallel studies were made on wheat starch granules. In this case, shells were not differentiated in granules that developed in a constant environment, but they could be produced at will by imposing a dark period. Thus, shell formation in potato granules must be controlled by an endogenous rhythm, whereas in wheat granules it must be controlled by external environment.
