Unique Physico‐chemical Properties of Sal (Shorea robusta) Starch

Abstract: Starch from sal seeds cake was isolated, bleached and purified. Scanning electron microscopy of the starch showed round to oval shaped granules of the size 3.5 to 12.3 μm. The starch has more nitrogen, phosphorus, lipids, amylose and water binding capacity in comparison to the other starches of forest origin. Despite its low and seemingly restricted swelling, the sal starch is much more soluble at any particular degree of swelling. Paste viscosity curve showed no drop in viscosity after full gelatinisation had… Show more

“…A loose association between amylose and amylopectin molecules in starch granules is believed to increase their water-holding capacity (Soni et al 1987). Wotton and Bamunuarachchi (1978) attributed the variation in water-holding capacity to the difference in available water-binding sites in starch granules.…”

“…Maize starch granules had lower L / D ratio and greater roundness than A. africana granules. Granule diameters of some other forest tree seed starches were: Q. palustris (3–17 µm 6, 3.5–12.3 µm 29), and G. biloba (5–20 µm 5). Starch granule size has been correlated with different starch properties including gelatinization, swelling, and enzyme hydrolysis.…”

“…Loose association of amylose and amylopectin molecules in starch granules has been reported to be responsible for variation in the WBC of starches. 30 The engagement of hydroxyl groups to form hydrogen and covalent bonds between starch chains lowers the WBC. 31 The light transmittance values decreased progressively during refrigerated storage of the pastes from different potato starches (Fig 1).…”
