Research Progress on Determination Methods for Crystal Structures of Starch Granules

Abstract

Abstract: Native starch granule is a kind of multi-crystal system, which has crystal and non-crystal regions. The crystal structure of starch granules is very important for the process of biosynthesis and physicochemical and application properties of starch. In this article, four determination methods such as X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance are reviewed. Meanwhile, their application prospects for determining crystal structure are also discussed.

Key words: starch, crystal structure, X-ray diffraction (X-RD), infrared spectroscopy (IR), atomic force microscopy (AFM), solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR)
