Interior of Amylopectin and Nano-Sized Amylopectin Fragments Probed by Viscometry, Dynamic Light Scattering, and Pyrene Excimer Fluorescence
Nano-sized amylopectin fragments (NAFs), prepared by extrusion of waxy corn starch, were investigated by viscometry, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and pyrene excimer fluorescence (PEF). NAF57, with a hydrodynamic diameter of 57 nm, was treated with nitric acid to yield three degraded NAFs, which a...
