Thermoanalytical study and characterization of native starches of Paraná pine seeds (Araucaria angustiofolia, Bert O. Ktze) and European chestnut seeds (Castanea sativa, Mill)

Abstract: Starch is the most important carbohydrate storage in plants. It is a raw material with diverse botanical origins, and is used by the food, paper, chemical, pharmaceutical, textile and other industries. In this work, native starches of Paraná pine seeds (pinhão) (Araucária angustiofolia, Bert O. Ktze) and european chestnut seeds (Castanea sativa, Mill) were studied by thermoanalytical techniques: thermo-gravimetry (TG), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), as well as … Show more

“…Based in these result, pinhão starch showed around 26% amylose content. Few researches (Bello‐Pérez et al ., ; Bicudo et al ., ; Pinto et al ., ) reported that native pinhão starches had around 26.3–29.6% of amylose content. Also, these results show that the HMT starch had comparable amylose content as native starch.…”

“…Seeds are from Paraná pine ( Araucaria angustifolia , Bert, O. Ktze) and grow in native forests of southern Latin America (Bello‐Pérez et al ., ). The seeds possess around 68–72% of starch (Bello‐Pérez et al ., ; Bicudo et al ., ) with low swelling power and solubility. The gelatinised pinhão starch has high viscosity on their native form, but viscosity reduced and retrogradation and gel hardness increased upon HMT (Pinto et al ., ).…”

“…The seed of this pine tree, known as pinhão, is produced early in winter and constitutes a traditional high‐calorie food that is usually consumed, after being cooked or roasted, during the winter 1. According to Bello‐Pérez et al 2 and Bicudo, et al 3, starch is the main constituent of pinhão seeds, accounting for 68–72%.…”

“…The AP molecules inside starch granules have been shown to crystallise into A‐type (cereal starches), B‐type (tuber, root, high AM cereal starches and some retrograded starches) or C‐type (pulse starches) conformations 6. Pinhão starch exhibits a C‐type pattern 3; its X‐ray diffractogram shows a combination of A‐ and B‐crystalline constituents.…”

“…The simultaneous TG and DTA curves of brown rice samples are shown in Figure 4. All measured samples show mass losses in three steps and thermal events corresponding to these losses [16]. Dehydration and decomposition are the main two processes associated with the degradation mechanisms of starches [17].…”
