Fractionation of maltosaccharides of relatively high degree of polymerization by multiple descending paper chromatography

Structure and Chemistry of the Starch Granule

“…Umeki and Kainuma (1981) studied the details of the fine structure of Nägeli amylodextrin of waxy maize starch. They employed multiple descending paper chromatography (Umeki and Kainuma, 1978) for the separation of each amylodextrin of different molecular size. The method gave sufficient resolution for separation of components differing in size from a difference of only one glucose unit to d.p.…”

Fractionation of maltosaccharides by gel filtration chromatography.

“…Such resolution of linear maltosaccharides up to DP 25 has not so far been achieved except by multiple descending paper chromatography. 5) Plots of molecular weight against the elution volume and time gave curves as shown in From these results, it is presumed that Toyopearl gel has a specific affinity for 3-cyclodextrin.…”

Structures of starch granules revealed by chemical erosion method

“…The residual material of starch granules treated extensively (e.g., 3 months with 16% H2SO4) is called "Nageli arrtylodextrin" French 1971, Robin et al 1974). Extensive studies on " Nageli amylodextrin" (watanabe and French 1980, Umeki and Kainuma 1978, 1981, Kikumoto and French 1983) showed that a pair of a-(l-»4)-linked glucose chains are more stable to acid treatment than single chains and also supported the idea of the double helix model for the crystalline portion of starch.…”
