Effect of Sago Starch Addition and Steaming Time on Making Cassava Cracker (Keropok)

This work was aimed at investigating the effects of steaming time and different fractions of sago starch (0, 6, 12, 18 and 24%) in mixtures with cassava starch on the properties of crackers as compared to cassava crackers. In the hydrothermal process, the steaming period was varied from 25 to 120 min. The properties of raw starches, half‐finished crackers (HFC) and puffed crackers (PC) were determined. Raw cassava starch had lower amylose content, smaller granule size, lower gelatinization and lower swelling power than sago starch. The properties of the raw starch mixtures varied according to the mixing proportions. Both sago starch content and steaming time influenced cracker quality, especially its expansion, which was related to the degree of gelatinization (DG). Increasing sago starch content caused decreased DG of HFC and hence decreased cracker expansion. Two groups of HFC were obtained; low DG (55–65%, 25‐45 min steaming time) and high DG (>80%, 60‐120 min steaming time) HFC. Generally the expansion increased as the DG increased – however, a too long steaming period (> 75 min) again reduced expansion, apparently the thinner starch gel allowed collapse of the air cells. No treatment gave complete gelatinization; which could be due to insufficient water for starch to gelatinize.     

Physicochemical Properties of Starch in Sago Palms (Metroxylon sagu) at Different Growth Stages

This study was aimed to examine the physicochemical properties of starch extracted from two different points (base and mid heights) of the sago palms trunks (Metroxylon sagu) of different physiological growth stages namely, ‘Plawei’, ‘Bubul’, ‘Angau Muda’, ‘Angau Tua’ and ‘Late Angau Tua’ stages. The physicochemical properties of sago starch studied were the morphology of starch, amylose content, particle size and distribution profile, pasting, thermal and retrogradation profiles. The results showed significant differences in the amylose and amylopectin content as well as in the granule sizes of starch from the different growth stages. Variation was observed in the proportions of granule sizes and pasting properties of starch from base and mid heights of the different growth stages while slight or insignificant differences was observed in the thermal properties of sago starch.

Effect of γ-irradiation on some physicochemical and thermal properties of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) starch

Previously, we reported that starch-related functional properties of cowpea flours and pastes were modified by 2, 10 and 50 kGy γ-irradiation doses. To elucidate some of the effects of γ-irradiation specifically on cowpea starch as well as the actual contribution of starch to the observed functional modifications at the flour and paste level, starch was isolated from irradiated cowpea flours and pastes and studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) spectroscopy, Rapid Visco-Analyser (RVA) pasting properties, and some functional properties. Pasting (peak, trough, breakdown, final, and setback viscosities) and swelling properties were significantly decreased in a dose-dependent manner. DSC of cowpea starch showed increases in peak gelatinisation temperature with increasing irradiation dose. SEM (2500×) microphotographs showed that up to 50 kGy irradiation did not present any visible physical effect on the cowpea starch granule. FTIR indicated that starch granule surface order (crystallinity) was not affected by the irradiation doses employed.     

Ozonation of corn and potato starch in aqueous solution: effects on the thermal,pasting and structural properties

Starch–water suspensions were exposed to ozone gas for 1 h at 5 °C. The concentration of dissolved ozone gas in the suspension was kept at 4.2 mg ozone/L^?1 water. Polarised light and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used to examine the birefringence and surface characteristics of the samples, respectively. A differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) was used to measure the gelatinisation properties, while a rapid visco analyser (RVA) was used to examine pasting properties. The structure of corn and potato starch showed very little change after treatment with ozonated water. The DSC gelatinisation temperatures (i.e. onset, peak and conclusion) of starch samples increased as a result of ozonation. However, a decrease in gelatinisation enthalpies was observed for ozonated starch samples. A dramatic decrease in the RVA viscosities of ozonated starch samples was observed after ozonation, which are explained by the partial cleavage of the glycosidic linkages in the starch granules during ozonation.
