Abstract:
Wheat, corn, tapioca, sweet potato and potato starches were independently mixed into starch-gluten model doughs containing 15% (w/w) vital gluten. Rheological properties, including linear viscoelasticity region, frequency dependence and recovery capacity, were studied by strain sweep, frequency sweep, and creep and recovery measurements. Structural properties were also investigated by measuring the disulfide bonds (-SS-) content, SDS-PAGE and low-resolution 1H nuclear magnetic resonance. Wheat starch (WS)-gluten dough had the greatest linear viscoelasticity region (0.190%), lowest frequency dependence (0.128) and greatest recovery capacity (67.39%), while potato starch-gluten dough had the smallest linear viscoelasticity region (0.126%), greatest frequency dependence (0.195) and lowest recovery capacity (54.97%). Furthermore, WS-gluten dough showed the highest disulfide bonds (-SS-) content (3.47μmol/g), lowest intensity of extracted glutenin bands and highest bond water content (23.20%). This suggested that WS-gluten dough formed stronger starch-gluten interactions compared with those of the other four starch-gluten model doughs.

Structure and Physical Properties of Alkynes
In nature, compounds containing both carbon and hydrogen are known as "hydrocarbons". Aliphatic hydrocarbons are compounds whose molecules contain saturated single bonds (i.e., alkanes) or unsaturated double or triple bonds. Alkenes contain carbon–carbon double bonds and have a structural formula CnH2n. Unsaturated hydrocarbons containing carbon–carbon triple bonds are called "alkynes" and are structurally represented by the formula CnH2n-2.

Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...
