Abstract
- Kernel hardness is an important quality characteristic of common wheat. In this study, we investigated the role of starch surface lipids on the interaction of puroindoline proteins and starch granules through in vitro starch-protein binding experiments and flour reconstitution. SDS-PAGE showed that there were no puroindoline proteins on the starch granule surface when surface lipids were removed or when defatted starch was incubated with puroindoline proteins. However, the puroindoline protein bands were present when defatted starch was incubated with lipids followed by purified puroindoline proteins, which indicated that starch surface lipids play a role in the binding of puroindolines to starch granules. The hardness of flour tablets and dough sheets made from reconstituted flour, which combined defatted starch incubated with lipids and puroindolines with gluten, was lower than for the control reconstituted flour, which was made from defatted starch and gluten. The results of scanning electron microscopy also showed that starch granules were embedded in the gluten in the gluten + defatted starch + lipids + puroindolines treatment. These results confirmed that starch surface lipids are involved in the interaction of puroindolines with wheat starch and kernel hardness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
