Physicochemical properties of dry matter and starch from potatoes grown in Canada

In this study dry matter and starch were isolated from three potato cultivars (AC Stempede Russet, Russet Burbank and Karnico) grown at two locations (Fredericton and Benton) in New Brunswick, Canada. The chemical composition including total starch, dietary fibre, free glucose and protein content in potato dry matter and apparent amylose and total phosphorus content in potato starch were determined. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to determine the thermal properties of gelatinization and retrogradation of potato dry matter and starch. The pasting properties of potato dry matter and starch were investigated by rapid visco analyzer (RVA). The resistant starch measurement method was employed to evaluate the digestibility in vitro of native and gelatinized potato starch. Molecular characteristics including chain length and chain length distribution of potato starch were also analyzed using high performance anion exchange chromatography (HPAEC). The analytical results suggest that differences in chemical composition and molecular chain length of potato starch may contribute to different functional properties of potato dry matter and starch of individual cultivars.

Effect of oxidation and esterification on functional properties of mung bean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) starch

The chemical and physicochemical properties of mung bean starch oxidized by sodium hypochlorite and esterified with succinic anhydride were studied. Mung bean starch was modified by oxidation with sodium hypochlorite and esterified with succinic anhydride. The native mung bean starch (NMBS) granules were shown to have an irregular shape, which varied from oval to round to bean shape with a smooth surface. Succinylation led to partial rupture of the granule integrity while oxidation converted the smooth surface of the native granules to a surface with fissures. Swelling capacity improved through succinylation but was reduced after oxidation. Oxidation enhanced solubility; however, succinylation showed no uniform effect throughout the temperature range studied. Both modifications increased hydrophilic tendency and demonstrated decreased gelatinization temperature compared to the NMBS. Oil absorption capacity and syneresis of native starch was enhanced after oxidation but was reduced after succinylation. Both starch types, native and modified, exhibited non-Newtonian behavior, but to a different extent. The gel formation of oxidized starch revealed the highest storage modulus followed by native starch and then succinated starch.     

Development of oxidised and heat-moisture treated potato starch film

This study investigated the effects of sodium hypochlorite oxidation and a heat-moisture treatment of potato starch on the physicochemical, pasting and textural properties of potato starches in addition to the water vapour permeability (WVP) and mechanical properties of potato starch films produced from these starches. The carbonyl contents, carboxyl contents, swelling power, solubility, pasting properties and gel texture of the native, oxidised and heat-moisture treated (HMT) starches were evaluated. The films made of native, oxidised and HMT starches were characterised by thickness, water solubility, colour, opacity, mechanical properties and WVP. The oxidised and HMT starches had lower viscosity and swelling power compared to the native starch. The films produced from oxidised potato starch had decreased solubility, elongation and WVP values in addition to increased tensile strength compared to the native starch films. The HMT starch increased the tensile strength and WVP of the starch films compared to the native starch.     

The effect of freeze–thaw cycles on microstructure and physicochemical properties of four starch gels

The effect of repeated freeze–thaw (FT) cycles (up to seven) on microstructure, thermal and textural properties of four starch gels from various botanical origins (gingko, Chinese water chestnut, potato and rice) was investigated and compared by scanning electronic microscope, differential scanning calorimetry and texture analyzer. The chemical composition and molecular structure of four starches were also examined. The Chinese water chestnut, potato and rice starch gels formed a honey-comb structure after 7 FT cycles, while gingko starch gel exhibited lamellar structure. The 7 FT cycles decreased the transition temperatures and enthalpies of four starches in comparison with each native starch, and the retrogradation percentage followed the order: rice > gingko > Chinese water chestnut > potato. The 7 FT cycles increased the hardness of all the evaluated starch gels and decreased springiness and cohesiveness. Results showed that the molecular structure of starches caused notable differences to the microstructure and textural properties of starch gels. The higher amount of longer branch chain (degree of polymerization (DP) > 18) might benefit the formation of the lamellar structure of gingko starch. The percentage of branch chains (DP 18–23) was negatively related with the springiness and cohesiveness of native starch gels, while the percentage of medium chains (DP 12–17) was positively related to the springiness of starch gels after 7 FT cycles.     

Thermal properties of new varieties of yam starches

Starches isolated from yam varieties of Dioscorea alata and Dioscorea cayenensis‐rotundata species were prepared at different time–temperature conditions and characterised by DSC, amperometric iodine titration, light microscopy and rheology and compared to native and chemical modified tapioca starches. The observation by light microscopy showed different morphologies of the granules when heated above 100°C and the tendency for disintegration decreased in the order native tapioca starch > yam starch > modified tapioca starch. Differences between yam and tapioca starches were also revealed by DSC. Yam starch enthalpy is higher than tapioca starch, but the peak temperature is low. However, the significant differences between yam and the other tested starches were found in terms of their rheological behaviour. The viscosity of yam starch was very stable at high temperatures on the viscograph. With this property, yam starch can be used as thickening and gelling agent in food.     

Properties of retrograded and acetylated starch preparations: Part 1. Structure, susceptibility to amylase, and pasting characteristics

The aim of the study was to produce a retrograded starch preparation from potato starch using various methods, to modify it by acetylation, and then to estimate the effect of these modifications on its selected properties. The chemical structure of modifiers and the degree of substitution achieved with acetic acid were determined by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The resistance of starch to amyloglucosidase and digestive amylases was determined as well. Also, the thermal characteristics of gelatinization of the starch preparations were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC); the method of starch paste production was investigated by a Brabender viscograph, and morphological and structural differences were visualized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Retrograded starch preparations were porous and stratified in structure; with their properties resulting from the method of their production. Their chemical structure did not differ from that of native starch, but they displayed a different course of pasting characteristics and increased susceptibility to acetylation as well as resistance to amylases (by approximately 10 g/100 g). Acetylation contributed to a decrease in the temperature of reaching maximum viscosity, an increase in the maximum viscosity, and a decrease in the amount of heat needed for thermal transition of the produced preparations. Acetylated retrograded starch was characterized by a higher degree of substitution and an increased activity of acetyl groups substituted at carbon atoms 2 and 3 compared to the acetylated native starch, thereby triggering a significant increase in resistance to amylases (approximately 40 g/100 g). Combining the resistance of starch samples RS3 and RS4 may be a new method to obtain resistant starch from potato starch.     

Physico-chemical properties of flour and starch from jackfruit seeds (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam.) compared with modified starches

Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam.) is one of the most popular tropical fruits grown in Asia. The objective of this study was to compare physico‐chemical properties of native flour and starch from jackfruit seeds (A. heterophyllus) to commercially modified starches (Novation 2300 and Purity 4). The colour of jackfruit seed starch was lighter than the Novation 2300 starch but darker than the Purity 4 starch. The jackfruit seed starch had a narrower gelatinization temperature range than Purity 4 and required less gelatinization energy compared with modified starches. The peak viscosity of jackfruit seed starch was lower than commercially modified starches. Likewise, setback viscosity, swelling power and solubility of jackfruit seed starch showed similar trends. Results from this study suggest that native starch from jackfruit seed could be used as an alternative for modified starches in a system needing starch with a high thermal and/or mechanical shear stability.     

Myrosma cannifolia,chemical composition and physicochemical properties of the extracted starch

Myrosma cannifolia Lf (Maranthaceae) is a tuber‐producing plant which is native to Apure State in Venezuela and is consumed by the Pumé Amerindians of the region. Its chemical composition and physical characteristics were determined. The chemical, physicochemical, morphometric characteristics and rheological properties of starch isolated from Myrosma were studied. The starch yield was 438.6 g kg ⁻¹ (DW). Starch granules were oval, elliptical, irregular and polyhedric, with granules of 9.5–21.25 μm wide and 9.6–19.05 μm long. Scanning electron micrographs revealed the presence of smooth surfaces. The starch showed a characteristic ‘A‐pattern’ of cereal starches by X‐ray diffraction, with zones of high crystallinity. The amylographic study showed a rapid gelatinisation with high stability during heating and cooling cycles. The starch might be a potential ingredient for food products manufactured using different temperatures during processing. © 1999 Society of Chemical Industry     

Physico-chemical characteristics and non-starch polysaccharide contents of Indica and Japonica brown rice and their malts

Brown rice malt from Indica and Japonica type rice were prepared and their nutrient composition as well as non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) contents and also some of the physico-chemical characteristics were determined. The activity of α- and β-amylases in the ungerminated (native) rice was negligible but increased considerably on germination. Malting altered the chemical composition of both Indica and Japonica rice to a small extent but caused noticeable changes in the pasting characteristics. The free sugars and water-soluble non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) contents of the malt samples were considerably higher than the native samples. The carbohydrate elution profile of native and malted rice on Sepharose CL-2B revealed partial degradation of starch. However, the electrophoresis patterns of the native and malt samples were comparable but exhibited decrease in their band intensity. The study revealed that, controlled germination or malting causes considerable changes in the physico-chemical and bio-chemical properties of both Indica and Japonica rice.     

Granule Sizes of Canna (Canna edulis) Starches and their Reactivity Toward Hydration,Enzyme Hydrolysis and Chemical Substitution

Small and large granule fractions were isolated from canna starch (Canna edulis, green leaf cultivar), and their morphology, physicochemical properties, susceptibility towards granular starch hydrolyzing enzymes and chemical reaction with propylene oxide were investigated. Canna starch consisted of a mixed population of large, medium and small granules; the mean of granule diameter was 47.4 μm. The small granules presented round and polygonal shapes, whereas the large granules had oval and elliptical shapes. Significant variations in digestibility of the various granules size by granular starch hydrolyzing enzymes were observed. During the first 24 h, the hydrolysis rate of small granules was higher than that of native and large granule starches. After 72 h, however, the degree of hydrolysis of small granule, large granule and native starches had reached the extent of 19.6%, 32.0% and 27.2%, respectively. The larger the granule size, the higher the MS obtained when modified with propylene oxide, which was due to the higher swelling power of the large granules. The results obtained from this study suggest that small granules had lower water and chemical affinity when compared with the bigger ones. The difference in the reactivity of small and large granules could be presumably attributed to the starch components (amylose and amylopectin) and their organization of glucan chains in ordered and/or less ordered structure of these two fractions.     

Influence of some chemical modifications on the characteristics of potato starch powders

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of chemical modification on selected physicochemical properties of potato starch powder. Esterification with acetic anhydride and adipic anhydride (E 1422 starch) caused the most pronounced changes in physicochemical parameters compared with native potato starch powder. In native and E 1422 starches, mean granule diameter changed from 23.1 to 25.4 μm, shape factor from 1.47 to 1.33, specific surface from 0.2115 to 0.1695 m² g⁻¹, porosity from 41.31% to 45.29%, water absorption increased up to 50%, and flow behavior changed from easy to cohesive. A microscopic analysis confirmed also the differences in the surface morphology showing the most rough surface of E 1422 starch. Despite broad variations in the diameter of individual starch granules, it was found that differently sized ridges and valleys on granule surface reflect porosity and water sorption values of the examined starches.     

Effect of acetylation,oxidation and annealing on physicochemical properties of bean starch

Black and Pinto bean starches were physically and chemically modified to investigate the effect of modification on digestibility and physicochemical properties of bean starch. The impact of acetylation, oxidation (ozonation) and annealing on the chemical composition, syneresis, swelling volume, pasting, thermal properties and digestibility of starches was evaluated. The physicochemical and estimated glycemic index (eGI) of the Black and Pinto bean starches treated with ozone were not significantly (P > 0.05) different than that of their respective control starches. Annealed starches had improved thermal and pasting properties compared to native starches. Acetylated starches presented reduced syneresis, good pasting properties and lower eGI. Also, all modified starches had increased levels of resistant starch (RS). Therefore, the digestibility and physicochemical properties of bean starch were affected by the type of modification but there were no significant (P > 0.05) differences between the Black and Pinto bean starches.

Gelatinization and Retrogradation Properties of Native and Hydroxypropylated Crosslinked Tapioca Starches with Added Sucrose and Sodium Chloride

The effects of sucrose and sodium chloride on the gelatinization and retrogradation of native and hydroxypropylated crosslinked tapioca starches were investigated by using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Hydroxypropylated crosslinked tapioca starches showed low gelatinization temperature and enthalpy compared to the native tapioca starch. Sucrose and sodium chloride increased the gelatinization temperatures of all starch samples. The enthalpy to melt retrograded amylopectin of hydroxypropylated crosslinked tapioca starches were low, compared to that of the native starch. Sucrose did not have much effect on retrogradation of the starch, while sodium chloride decreased retrogradation of all starch samples.     

Physicochemical Properties of Canna edulis Ker Starch on Heat-Moisture Treatment

Canna edulis Ker starch was modified by heat-moisture treatment at moisture levels ranging from 18 to 27 g/100 g starch and its physicochemical properties were investigated. Amylose content, swelling power, solubility as well as water and oil absorption capacity in native starch were higher than in all treated starches. However, alkaline water retention and acid susceptibility of native starch were lower, along with different extent of amylose leaching. The result in the X-ray diffraction measurement revealed that the crystalline type of the starch gradually changed from B-type to A-type, and the degree of crystallinity changed. Investigation on thermal properties showed that the gelatinization enthalpy decreased, whereas the onset temperature, peak temperature, concluding temperature and transition temperature range increased in modified starch than in native starch. In addition, all modified starches exhibited remarkably low values of peak viscosity, hot pasting viscosity and final viscosity, compared to those of native starch.     

Modification and properties of African yam bean (Sphenostylis stenocarpa Hochst. Ex A. Rich.) Harms starch I: Heat moisture treatments and annealing

African yam bean (Sphenostylis stenocarpa) starch was subjected to heat moisture treatments at 18% (HMT-18), 21% (HMT-21), 24% (HMT-24), 27% (HMT-27) and excess (Annealing) moisture levels. Proximate chemical composition of the starch samples revealed that the moisture content of the starches ranged between 6.7% and 12.5%. Following modification of the native starch, there was a reduction in the moisture level of the heat moisture treated starches from HMT-18 to HMT-27. However, the annealed starch (HMT-ANN) retained higher moisture content compared to native starch (AYB-Native). The carbohydrate, protein, ash, amylose and fat content reduced with all the forms of heat treatments. At the temperature range studied (60–90 °C), increasing level of heat moisture treatments reduced the solubility and swelling capacity. pH also exert a profound effect both on the solubility and the swelling of the starch. Increasing degree of alkalinity increased both solubility and swelling capacity. In the native and modified starch samples, replacement of the wheat flour by the starch resulted in increased alkaline water retention of the blends. Water absorption capacity of the starch increased with the severity of moisture treatments, while the oil absorption capacity decreased. Apart from HMT-18, there was improved gel forming capacity of all the other heat-modified starches.Pasting temperature increased after hydrothermal modifications, whereas peak viscosity (P_v), Hot Paste Viscosity (H_v), setback and breakdown values all reduced after heat moisture treatments. All the starches were of type-B viscosity.Differential scanning calorimetry studies revealed that heat moisture treatment shifted the onset temperature (T_o), peak temperature(T_p) and conclusion temperature (T_c) to higher values. The gelatinisation temperature of the annealed starch was comparable to native starch. In addition, gelatinisation band of the native starch increased progressively from HMT-18 to HMT-27. Heat moisture treatment reduced the gelatinsation enthalpy (ΔH), while the enthalpy of retrogradation(ΔH_r) increased with the storage time of the gelatinised starch. Retrogradation enthalpy of the heat moisture conditioned starches were lower than the value obtained for the native starch.X-ray diffraction studies of the starch indicated that all the starch samples showed the type-C diffraction pattern. Differences were however observed in their degree of crystallinity. Native starch exhibited the lowest crystallinity (20%) while annealed starch had the highest crystallinity (27%)Microscopy studies revealed surface indentation, formation of groves in the central region, folding of starch granules and formation of doughnut-like appearance in some of the starch samples.
