PG - 331-338 LID - S1386-1425(18)30931-4 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.saa.2018.10.007 [doi] AB - Corn starch played a critical role in maintaining energy supply for high milk yield. The objectives of this research were to disclose the starch and carbohydrate-related biopolymers degradation in three newly developed corn lines (LM10, LM01 and LD999) during rumen incubation, and detect relationships between molecular structures and starch degradation. Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier-transform Vibrational Molecular Spectroscopy (ATR-Ft/VMS) was applied to reveal molecular structure conformations that were associated with major nutrients macro-biopolymers. Line LM01 was greater (P < 0.01) in peak heights and areas of carbohydrate (CHO) related spectral than LM10 and LD999 (P < 0.01). Line LM01 had greater rumen degradable dry matter and starch than LM10 and LD999 (P < 0.05). During 48 h rumen incubation, absorbance intensities of CHO peak 1 and peak 3 decreased linearly (P < 0.01), but absorbance intensities of CHO peak 2 increased, non-structural CHO related spectral absorbance intensities decreased linearly (P < 0.01). Correlation analysis showed that CHO associated spectral were positively correlated to ruminal dry matter and starch degradability (P < 0.10). The results inferred that the molecular spectral features of newly developed corn lines played a more important role in determining starch degradability. CI - Copyright (c) 2018 Elsevier B.V.
