Plantain and Banana Starches: Granule Structural Characteristics Explain the Differences in Their Starch Degradation Patterns

Abstract: Different banana cultivars were used to investigate the influences of starch granule structure and hydrolases on degradation. The highest degrees of starch degradation were observed in dessert bananas during ripening. Scanning electron microscopy images revealed smooth granule surface in the green stage in all cultivars, except for Mysore. The small and round granules were preferentially degraded in all of the cultivars. Terra demonstrated a higher degree of crystallinity and a short amylopectin chain length d… Show more

“…Estructuralmente está formado por dos polisacáridos: la amilosa (polímero lineal) y amilopectina (polímero ramificado), que representan aproximadamente el 98-99% de su peso seco (Soares et al, 2011;Agama-Acevedo et al, 2005;Millán-Testa et al, 2005). Presenta propiedades fisicoquímicas (ej.…”

“…Nutricionalmente se clasifica en tres categorías: almidón de rápida digestión, almidón lentamente digerible y almidón resistente (Santana y Meireles, 2014). Según los patrones de rayos X los granos de almidón se clasifican en dos categorías alomórficas: el tipo A (cereal, tapioca y almidón de mango), el tipo B (batata) y el tipo C (leguminosas y plátanos) que es una mezcla de los dos tipos anteriores (Soares et al, 2011).…”

“…4A and 5A), while starch was the major component of banana before and after fermentation ( Fig. [52][53][54] The thick external layer (several µm) of larger blockets, 55 which surrounds the banana granules, is composed of a hard and well organised material, 51 and has been proposed to impede enzyme action and thus reduce hydrolysis rate. Starch granules encapsulated within intact banana cell walls survived mastication, as well as in vitro gastrointestinal digestion.…”

“…A crystalline polymorph per se is not important for degradability and, for lotus C-type starch granules, α-amylase did not selectively digest A- or B-type polymorphs in this starch (Lin et al , 2006). Moreover, no major preferential degradation of starch amylopectin or amylose could be noted during ripening in banana (Soares et al , 2011). However, a slight preferential degradation of amylose was noted for legume starches (Zhou et al , 2004).…”
