Analysis of Soluble glutinous rice starch (SGRS) by Diffusing wave spectroscopy (DWS) (CAT#: STEM-MB-0859-WXH)

Introduction

As a polysaccharide, starch is the second most abundant biopolymer in nature. Because starch is biodegradable, non-toxic, and low-cost production, it has been used as raw material in diferent industries for many years. The applications of starch include adhesives, foams, fermented products, pharmaceuticals, papermaking, binders, packaging, and textile industry. Soluble glutinous rice starch (SGRS) is a natural biopolymer, which has better binding characteristics than dextrin. SGRS is widely used in the food industry, but nearly not at all in the pharmaceutical industry like dextrin.

Principle

Diffusing-wave spectroscopy (DWS) is an optical technique derived from dynamic light scattering (DLS) that studies the dynamics of scattered light in the limit of strong multiple scattering. DWS is able to give information about the local dynamics of particle dispersion in a highly turbid medium. It has been widely used in the past to study colloidal suspensions, emulsions, foams, gels, biological media, and other forms of soft matter. If carefully calibrated, DWS allows the quantitative measurement of microscopic motion in a soft material, from which the rheological properties of the complex medium can be extracted via the microrheology approach.
The technique of DWS depends on the scattering of light from highly turbid suspensions. A sample of the suspension is illuminated by light from a laser and the incoming photons are multiply scattered. This scattered light is detected and subjected to autocorrelation analysis.

Applications

• Diffusing Wave Spectroscopy (DWS) is an advanced light scattering technique, which is primarily applied for microrheology and particle sizing.
• DWS has been applied in biomedical and clinical areas, especially in monitoring cerebral blood flow (CBF).
