Characterisation of normal corn starch using asymmetrical flow field‐flow fractionation
2012
Juna, Shazia | Huber, Anton
The apparent average molar masses (Mw,app), apparent average radii of gyration (Rg,app), diffusion co‐efficients (DT), and hydrodynamic radii (Rh) of normal corn (maize) starch and fractions were determined using asymmetrical flow field‐flow fractionation coupled with multi‐angle light scattering and refractive index detectors (AF4/MALS/RI). AM‐type (Fraction A) and AP‐type (Fraction B) were chemically separated from normal corn starch. Normal corn starch and Fractions (A–B) were dissolved in 1 M KSCN using a high pressure microwave vessel. The effect of varying cross flow rates at a fixed channel flow rate upon the Mw,app and Rg,app distributions of normal corn starch and Fractions (A–B) were investigated. The average Mw,app of normal corn starch, Fractions (A) and Fraction (B) were 41 × 106, 1.4 × 106 and 39 × 106 g/mol, respectively, with Rg,app values of 129, 60 and 129 nm, respectively.
