Influence of Konjac Glucomannan and Frozen Storage on Rheological and Tensile Properties of Frozen Dough.

ABSTRACT: The impact of various amounts of konjac glucomannan on the structural and physicochemical properties of gluten proteins/dough at different periods of frozen storage is evaluated in the present study. As frozen storage time was prolonged, the molecular weight and the free sulfhydryl content of gluten proteins and the tensile properties of frozen dough all decreased. The addition of konjac glucomannan reduced the variations in the structural and rheological properties of gluten proteins/dough. Frozen dough with 2.5% added konjac glucomannan showed the highest water binding capacity and retarded the migration of water. Scanning electron microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry results also revealed that adding konjac glucomannan reduced the cracks and holes in the dough and enhanced its thermal stability. The correlations between mechanical characteristics and structure parameters further indicated that konjac glucomannan could not only stabilize the structures of gluten proteins but also bind free water to form more stable complexes, thereby retaining the rheological and tensile properties of the frozen dough.

The Influence of Konjac Glucomannan on the Physicochemical and Rheological Properties and Microstructure of Canna Starch.

Project description:The addition of hydrocolloid is an effective method to improve the properties of native starch. However, few studies have investigated the effects of konjac glucomannan (KGM) on canna starch (CS). In this study, the effects of various KGM concentration on the pasting, rheological, textural, and morphological properties of CS were investigated. The addition of KGM significantly increased CS's pasting viscosities. Incorporation of KGM in CS at a relatively high level (1.2% w/w) exerted a significant influence on the pasting properties of CS. The consistency coefficient of CS was notably increased by KGM (from 43.6 to 143.3 Pa·sn) and positively correlated positive with KGM concentration. KGM concentration at a relatively high level (1.2% w/w) increased the elasticities and cohesiveness of CS by 53.3% and 88.0%, respectively, in texture profile analysis. The polarized optical microscope images indicated that KGM played an important part in protecting the crystalline structure of CS during heating. A denser porous microstructure with a filamentous network was observed in gelatinized KGM/CS mixtures as compared with the CS control. This research advances the knowledge of interactions between KGM and CS and opens possibilities to improve rheological properties of CS and to develop its new functionalities with KGM addition.

Effect of Degree of Konjac Glucomannan Enzymatic Hydrolysis on the Physicochemical Characteristic of Gluten and Dough.

Project description:Influences of different enzymatic hydrolysis degrees of konjac glucomannan (KGM) with various addition proportions on the structural characteristic of gluten protein and dough properties were evaluated. Results revealed that addition of KGM decreases the free sulfhydryl and freezable water content of dough, and KGM with different enzymatic hydrolysis degrees had more beneficial effects on strengthening the gluten structure by the raised molecular weight of gluten proteins and the increased disulfide bonds and β-sheet content, especially KGM with 15 min enzymatic hydrolysis treatment (KGM II). Besides, microstructure observation and thermal analysis results illustrated that addition of KGM promotes gluten cross-linking and improves the thermal stability of the gluten network structure. Dough possessed better elasticity, as well as tensile and texture properties with the addition of KGM than the control sample. And the KGM with 15 min enzymatic hydrolysis showed the most positive effect on dough quality than others, and 2.0% addition proportion is the most acceptable.

Synthesis and Properties of Silk Fibroin/Konjac Glucomannan Blend Beads.

Project description:Silk fibroin (SF) and konjac glucomannan (KGM) are promising materials in the biomedical field due to their low toxicity, biocompatibility, biodegradability and low immune response. Beads of these natural polymers are interesting scaffolds for biomedical applications, but their fabrication is a challenge due to their low stability and the necessary adaptation of their chemical and mechanical properties to be successfully applied. In that sense, this study aimed to synthesize a blend of silk fibroin and konjac glucomannan (SF/KGM) in the form of porous beads obtained through dripping into liquid nitrogen, with a post-treatment using ethanol. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds promoted the integration of SF and KGM. Treated beads showed higher porous size, crystallinity, and stability than untreated beads. Characterization analyses by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric (TGA), and X-ray diffraction (XDR) evidenced that ethanol treatment allows a conformational transition from silk I to silk II in SF and an increase in the KGM deacetylation. Those chemical changes significantly enhanced the mechanical resistance of SF/KGM beads in comparison to pure SF and KGM beads. Moreover, samples showed cytocompatibility with HaCaT and BALB/c 3T3 cells.

High-Strength Konjac Glucomannan/Silver Nanowires Composite Films with Antibacterial Properties.

Project description:Robust, high-strength and environmentally friendly antibacterial composite films were prepared by simply blending konjac glucomannan (KGM) and silver nanowires (Ag NWs) in an aqueous system. The samples were then characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal gravimetric analysis, mechanical property tests, Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and antimicrobial tests. The results showed that there was a high ratio of Ag NWs uniformly distributed in the composite films, which was vital for mechanical reinforcement and stable antibacterial properties. The enhanced thermal stability and mechanical intensity increased, while the elongation at break was reduced with an increase in the amount of Ag NWs found in the composite films. When the percentage of Ag NWs in the composite films reached 5%, the tensile strength was 148.21 MPa, Young's modulus was 13.79 GPa and the ultimate strain was 25.28%. Antibacterial tests showed that the KGM films had no antibacterial effect. After the addition of Ag NWs, the composite films had an obvious inhibitory effect on bacteria, with the uniform dispersion of Ag NWs promoting the antibacterial effect to a certain degree. These results indicated that these composite films would have a potential application in the fields of environmentally friendly packaging or medicine.

Physicochemical and Structural Properties of Gluten-Konjac glucomannan Conjugates Prepared by Maillard Reaction.

Project description:Gluten (Glu) is important to wheat products by forming a three-dimensional matrix. This study aimed to investigate the physicochemical and structural properties of gluten after conjugation with konjac glucomannan (KGM) through the Maillard reaction. The study revealed that the degree of graft increased with the prolonged reaction time. The Glu-KGM conjugates were possessed of increased β-sheet but decreased α-helix and β-turn, as well as unfolding and loose tertiary structures as the reaction proceeded. Among three different proportions, the Glu-KGM 1:1 conjugate was proved to have the most excellent foaming and emulsifying properties, and could form more rigid and firm gelation structures, which could be related to the decreased particle size and increased zeta potential of the conjugate. Overall, the physicochemical and structural properties of gluten were significantly related to the KGM ratios as well as the reaction period.

Physiochemical characteristics and sensory properties of plant protein isolates-konjac glucomannan compound gels.

Project description:In this study, the effects of konjac glucomannan (KGM) at different concentrations on the physiochemical and sensory properties of soy protein isolate (SPI), pea protein isolate (PPI), or peanut protein isolate (PNPI) compound gels were investigated. The results revealed that when the ratio of PNPI to KGM was 90:10, the denaturation temperature of PNPI could be significantly enhanced to 119.32°C by KGM modification. Concerning the textural and microstructural features, the amount of KGM addition had positive correlation with the hardness and chewiness of each compound gel, however, too much KGM addition will cause the unstable internal structure of the PNPI/KGM compound gels (70:30 and 60:40). Furthermore, sensory results indicated that PNPI/KGM (80:20), PPI/KGM (80:20), SPI/KGM (80:20) had great potential to be considered as prototypes for novel plant-based products, which generated the highest acceptance scores of 5.04, 5.94, and 5.36 in each group, respectively.

Influence of α-amylase, xylanase and cellulase on the rheological properties of bread dough enriched with oat bran.

Project description:A better understanding of dough rheology during processing is crucial in the bakery industry, since quality attributes of the final product are influenced by those properties. In this study, we investigated the effects of xylanase, α-amylase and cellulase on the rheological properties of bread dough enriched in oat bran. A DoughLAB was used to measure the mixing characteristics of dough. According to the results, adding a single enzyme did not significantly affect the water absorption, development time, or stability of oat bran dough. In contrast, when blended enzymes were used at high concentrations (10, 120, and 60 ppm), the water absorption, development time, and stability of the oat bran dough were significantly reduced compared to using the single enzyme (62.1%, 7.1 and 6.6 min). It was found that combining α-amylase, xylanase and cellulase resulted in better extensibility and stickiness (16.5 mm and 60.8 g) of oat bran dough than using these enzymes individually. As a result, α-amylase, xylanase and cellulase complemented each other in determining the rheology of bread dough.

Improvement of Storage Stability of Zein-Based Pickering Emulsions by the Combination of Konjac Glucomannan and L-Lysine.

Project description:In this work, L-lysine (Lys) was employed together with konjac glucomannan (KGM) to fabricate zein colloidal particles (ZCPs) aimed at enhancing the storage stability of Pickering emulsions. With the addition of Lys, zein-Lys colloidal particles (ZLCPs) and zein-Lys-KGM (ZLKCPs) exhibited smaller particle size (133.64 ± 1.43, 162.54 ± 3.51 nm), polydispersity index (PDI) (0.10 ± 0.029, 0.13 ± 0.022), π value, and more adsorbed protein. Meanwhile, KGM underwent deamidation in an alkaline solution, so the emulsions stabilized by ZLKCPs exhibited a solid gel-like structure with higher storage modulus (G') and loss modulus (G''), leading to lower fluidity and better stability. The synergistic effects of Lys and KGM improved the stability of the emulsion. Hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds were the main driving forces forming colloidal particles, which were determined by driving force analysis.

A chromosome-level genome assembly of <i>Amorphophallus konjac</i> provides insights into konjac glucomannan biosynthesis.

Project description:Amorphophallus konjac, a perennial herb in the Araceae family, is a cash crop that can produce a large amount of konjac glucomannan. To explore mechanisms underlying such large genomes in the genus Amorphophallus as well as the gene regulation of glucomannan biosynthesis, we present a chromosome-level genome assembly of A. konjac with a total genome size of 5.60 Gb and a contig N50 of 1.20 Mb. Comparative genomic analysis reveals that A. konjac has undergone two whole-genome duplication (WGD) events in quick succession. Two recent bursts of transposable elements are identified in the A. konjac genome, which contribute greatly to the large genome size. Our transcriptomic analysis of the developmental corms characterizes key genes involved in the biosynthesis of glucomannan and related starches. High expression of cellulose synthase-like A, Cellulose synthase-like D, mannan-synthesis related 1, GDP-mannose pyrophosphorylase and phosphomannomutase fructokinase contributes to glucomannan synthesis during the corm expansion period while high expression of starch synthase, starch branching enzyme and phosphoglucomutase is responsible for starch synthesis in the late corm development stage. In conclusion, we generate a high-quality genome of A. konjac with different sequencing technologies. The expansion of transposable elements has caused the large genome of this species. And the identified key genes in the glucomannan biosynthesis provide valuable candidates for molecular breeding of this crop in the future.
