Abstract:In this study, glucan 1,4‐α‐maltotriohydrolase (AMTS) is used to modify corn starch granules to elucidate the structural and physical property changes following AMTS modification. The degree of hydrolysis (DH) of granular corn starch is modulated by adding various amounts of AMTS. Pore structures with more pores, deep channels, and cavities in starch granules with extended hydrolysis are observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The short‐range ordered struct… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
