Impact of Process Conditions on Digestibility of Pea Starch

This study investigated how process conditions affect the digestibility of pea starch from pea starch powder (PSP). The factors considered were resistant starch (RS), slow digestible starch (SDS) and rapidly digestible starch (RDS) content. The examined five process factors were: material/water ratio, cooking temperature, cooking time, soaking time, and heat dehydration time. Changes in process conditions mainly altered the content of RS and SDS. Analysis with Sephadex G-200 chromatography and differential scanning calorimetry revealed that RS was mainly from retrograded amylose and amylopectin, while SDS and RDS were mainly derived from amylopectin.     

Effect of various processing techniques on digestibility of starch in Red kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and two varieties of peas (Pisum sativum)

The effect of common domestic processing methods, such as splitting, soaking, boiling and pressure-cooking on the nutritionally significant starch fractions such as rapidly and slowly digestible starches (RDS and SDS), resistant starch (RS) and total starch (TS) in two legumes, Red kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and Yellow and Green peas (Pisum sativum) were studied. The legumes had comparatively high amount (>30%, dry basis) of RS. Soaking of all legumes resulted in reduced starch fractions, possibly due to leaching of soluble fractions. Ordinary cooking of soaked as well as unsoaked seeds led to a significant (P < 0.01) decrease in RS and increase in RDS, SDS and TS. Pressure-cooking led to even greater reduction in RS and a greater increase in RDS. Cooking of legumes gelatinizes the starch and opens up the starch structure which makes them vulnerable to α-amylase hydrolysis. Splitting of legumes markedly affects the digestibility as well as RS content of raw as well as processed legumes indicating that the seed coat plays a key role in the digestibility of starches in these seeds. Overall, the enzyme resistant starch fraction of legumes was rendered more digestible by all the domestic cooking methods used.     

Effect of processing on starch fractions in different varieties of finger millet

The effect of processing on starch fractions in finger millet (ragi) was studied in a standardized system and convenience mixes. In raw varieties, rapidly available starch (RDS) was 8.3% to 11.1% with slowly digestible starch (SDS) of 26.4% to 35.3%, and total available starch (TAS) 39–53%. The changes in the SDS and TAS were statistically significant. Puffing resulted in an increased RDS and decreased SDS. The changes were more prominent in hill grown varieties as compared to base varieties. Resistant starch (RS) ranged from 0.9% to 1.0% among raw varieties and decreased during puffing. The effect of puffing on gelatinisation of ragi flour was investigated, MR-1 variety showed a single phase transition with gelatinisation temperature of 64 °C, the same was found to be absent in puffed flour reflecting the gelatinisation during puffing. RS formation was influenced by the processing methods, increased during pressure cooking and roasting while dietary fiber increased during cooking and both decreased in all other processing methods. However, its implication in the convenience mix has shown that other ingredients also play a role in the RS content.     

Effect of processing on potato starch: in vitro availability and glycaemic index

The content of digestible starch (DS) and resistant starch (RS) in processed potatoes was assessed. In addition, the effect of domestic cooking on the in vitro digestibility of starch in this tuber, which may influence the glycaemic response, was studied. Resistant starch in raw potato is high, however different RS values were obtained when processed, ranging from 1.18% in boiled potatoes to 10.38% in retrograded flour. In general, cooked potatoes have high levels of DS. Starch digestibility is improved after processing and it is affected by the cooking methods. Boiled and mashed potatoes showed the highest rate of digestion, on the contrary raw potato was hardly digested. The estimated Glycaemic Index (GI) from the degree of starch hydrolysis within 90 min was in accordance with the reported GI values, for potatoes processed in the same way.     

Effect of repeated freezing-thawing on structural,physicochemical and digestible properties of normal and waxy starch gels

The normal and waxy corn starch gels were subjected to repeated freeze–thaw treatment at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4,5 and 6 cycles with an interval of 24 h, and the effects on structural, physicochemical and digestible properties were investigated. The normal starch gels formed a honeycomb structure while waxy starch gels exhibited a lamellar structure, and the number of holes and lamellas increased with increasing cycles. The X-ray analysis showed that the A-type pattern of starches was converted into the B-type after treatment, and their relative crystallinity increased with the number of increased freeze–thaw cycles. The hardness increased in both normal and waxy starch. The solubility and pasting breakdown viscosity decreased in normal starch while they increased in waxy starch. The pasting peak time, peak viscosity, and setback viscosity increased in normal starch but decreased in waxy starch. The rapidly digested starch (RDS) and slowly digested starch (SDS) content in normal starch increased and non-digestible starch (RS) content decreased whereas the RDS, SDS and RS content in waxy starch was almost unchanged as the freeze–thaw cycles increased. In the meantime, the molecular weight of both normal and waxy starch decreased with freeze–thaw treatment. Therefore, the repeated freeze–thaw treatment can change the physicochemical and digestible properties which could be a basis for starch-based food processing.

Nutritionally Important Starch Fractions of Rice Cultivars Grown in Southern United States

Abstract: Dietary starches can be classified into 3 major fractions according to in vitro digestibility as rapidly digestible (RDS), slowly digestible (SDS), and resistant starch (RS). Literature indicates that SDS and/or RS have significant implications on human health, particularly glucose metabolism, diabetes management, colon cancer prevention, mental performance, and satiety. In this study, the nutritionally important starch fractions (RDS, SDS, and RS) in cooked rice were assayed in vitro, making use of 16 cultivars grown in 5 southern U.S. rice growing locations (Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Texas). RDS, SDS, and RS were 52.4% to 69.4%, 10.3% to 26.6%, and 1.2% to 9.0%, respectively, of cooked rice dry weight. Cultivar, location, and cultivar-by-location interaction contributed to the variations in RDS, SDS, and RS contents. Means pooled across locations indicated that SDS was higher for the Louisiana samples than those from Texas, whereas RS was higher for the Texas samples than those from Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Some cultivars were identified to possess high levels of RS (for example, Bowman and Rondo) or SDS (for example, Dixiebelle and Tesanai-2) and were also stable across growing locations. Apparent amylose content correlated positively with RS (n = 80, r = 0.54, P ≤ 0.001), negatively with RDS (n = 80, r =−0.29, P ≤ 0.05), and insignificantly with SDS (n = 80, r = 0.21, P > 0.05). RS and SDS were not collinear (n = 80, r =−0.18, P > 0.05); it does not follow that a cultivar high in RS will also be high in SDS, and vice versa. The observed differences in RDS, SDS, and RS among the samples are indicative of wide genetic diversity in rice.     

Non-Starch Polysaccharides and in Vitro Starch Digestibility of Raw and Cooked Chick Peas

The effects of domestic and industrial cooking methods on the non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) content and in vitro starch digestibility of chick pea (variety “blanco lechoso”) have been studied. Total and soluble NSP increased, as did the slowly digestible starch (SDS), whereas the resistant starch (RS) fraction decreased after cooking, showing higher content in domestic than industrially cooked chick peas. The in vitro starch digestible rate index (SDRI) was similar in the cooked chick peas, as was the rapidly available glucose (RAG). Due to the low values of RAG, chick peas would give a slow post-prandial glycaemic response. Domestic cooked chick peas consumption would increase the intakes of RS in human diet, whereas the industrially cooked chick peas with lower content of RS would result in less flatulence problems.     

Effect of hydrothermal treatment of runner bean (Phaseolus coccineus) seeds and starch isolation on starch digestibility

The study investigated the effect of traditional soaking and cooking, storage after cooking and freezing (? 18 °C, 21 days) and autoclaving of two varieties of runner bean on starch digestibility. Results achieved were compared with digestibility of isolated starch subjected to similar treatments. The digestibility of native starch from Nata var. seeds was lower after isolation than in raw flour. This starch was characterized by a higher content of fat and lower values of swelling power (SP) and amylose leaching (AML). After the thermal treatment, a significantly higher content of rapidly digestible starch (RDS) was observed both in seeds and starch. It was accompanied by reduced contents of resistant starch (RS) and slowly digestible starch (SDS). In flours from cooked seeds, the content of RDS was observed to be higher than in flours from autoclaved seeds, despite similar changes in contents of other constituents (ash and protein). It was probably due to better starch gelatinization owing to the long-lasting soaking of seeds. This resulted in a greater decrease of amylose content of starch compared to the other flours. Differences in SP, AML and thermal properties between starches isolated from two bean varieties had no influence on their digestibility after cooking. The storage of starch pastes at a temperature of ? 18 °C, unlike that of seeds, resulted in a significant increase in RS content, which shows the importance of other flour components in the process of starch retrogradation.     

Effect of maize type and extrusion‐cooking conditions on starch digestibility profiles

This study aimed at evaluating the influence of screw speed (250–600 rpm), barrel temperature (100–160 °C) and water content (16.4–22.5%) on rapidly digestible (RDS), slowly digestible (SDS) and resistant (RS) starch levels of waxy, normal and high‐amylose maize starches. In native starches, an increase in amylose content was correlated with lower SDS content. After extrusion, this trend was reversed. Both waxy and normal maize starches became rapidly digested. However, for normal maize starch, some SDS fraction remained. In contrast, the high‐amylose maize starch showed a significant increase in digestibility and an increase in SDS content from 20.4% in the native starch up to 27.5% after extrusion. This high level of SDS may be attributed to the presence of some remaining granular structures and formation of crystalline orders, which have slow digestion properties.     

Production of Resistant Starch by Extrusion Cooking of Acid-Modified Normal-Maize Starch

ABSTRACT:  The objective of this study was to utilize extrusion cooking and hydrothermal treatment to produce resistant starch (RS) as an economical alternative to a batch-cooking process. A hydrothermal treatment (110 °C, 3 d) of batch-cooked and extruded starch samples facilitated propagation of heat-stable starch crystallites and increased the RS contents from 2.1% to 7.7% up to 17.4% determined using AOAC Method 991.43 for total dietary fiber. When starch samples were batch cooked and hydrothermally treated at a moisture content below 70%, acid-modified normal-maize starch (AMMS) produced a greater RS content than did native normal-maize starch (NMS). This was attributed to the partially hydrolyzed, smaller molecules in the AMMS, which had greater mobility and freedom than the larger molecules in the NMS. The RS contents of the batch-cooked and extruded AMMS products after the hydrothermal treatment were similar. A freezing treatment of the AMMS samples at −20 °C prior to the hydrothermal treatment did not increase the RS content. The DSC thermograms and the X-ray diffractograms showed that retrograded amylose and crystalline starch–lipid complex, which had melting temperatures above 100 °C, accounted for the RS contents.

Chemical composition and starch digestibility in flours from Polish processed legume seeds

The study was undertaken to determine the effect of various treatments, i.e. cooking after soaking, freezing after cooking and storage at a low temperature (-18°C, 21days), and autoclaving, of Polish cultivars of bean, pea and lentil seeds on the chemical composition and starch digestibility of the resultant flours. The cooking of seeds caused a significant decrease in contents of ash (by 11-48%), polyphenols (by 10-70%) and protein (to 19%) in flours made of bean. In addition, analyses demonstrated significantly decreased contents of resistant starch, RS (by 61-71%) and slowly digestible starch, SDS (by 56-84%). Storage of frozen seeds resulted in insignificant changes in the chemical composition, and in increased contents of both RS and SDS. The flours produced upon the autoclaving process were characterized by similar changes in the contents of ash and protein as in cooked seeds, yet losses of polyphenols were lower and, simultaneously, contents of RS and SDS were higher. All the analyzed flours were shown to be characterized by a reduced content of amylose in starch, which might have affected its digestibility. This was indicated by a strict negative correlation reported between the value of the starch digestion index (SDRI) and amylose content of starch (r=0.84, p>0.05).     

STARCH AND PECTIC SUBSTANCES AS AFFECTED BY A FREEZE-THAW POTATO GRANULE PROCESS

Changes in total content and fractions of pectic substances and starch were studied in a freeze-thaw process for potato granule production consisting of peeling, steam cooking, hot mashing, freezing and thawing, pre-drying, granulation, drying, cooling and sifting. Pectic substances in raw potatoes (expressed as mg uronide/netted Gem 100g dry wt) were 202.4 for water soluble and only 80 for the calgon-soluble fractions. Water soluble pectic substances increased sixfold after cooking, and calgon-soluble fraction about threefold. Little change was observed in either fraction due to subsequent granule processing steps. There was no indication that pectic substances present in the extracellular matrix could have influenced the processing steps in granule production. Total starch comprised 68.4%/dry wt of raw potato, decreasing slightly after cooking, increasing up to the pre-drying step and stabilizing at a level of 83.7%. In contrast, free water-soluble starch, depended on the processing steps, being lower in cooked unmashed potatoes than in conditioned raw potatoes. Mashing slightly increased starch content while pre-cooling to 5.5°and freezing to −20°C with subsequent thawing to room temperature substantially decreased starch content. Mechanical forces applied in subsequent steps brought about some increase while in the final product the content was related to particle size of the granules. The percentage of broken cells in cooked potatoes mashed at various temperatures appears to be dependent on the free extracellular starch present in cell binding matrix. Broken cell counts were substantially decreased when mashing was performed immediately after cooking at high temperature or when the mash was frozen and thawed. In the latter case determination of Blue Value Index suggested that a decrease in cell binding strength of the matrix occurred due to soluble starch retrogradation.

Effect of pretreatments and freezing rate on the firmness of potato tissue after a freeze–thaw cycle

The texture of potato tissue after a freeze–thaw process using different freezing rates and different pretreatments was analysed, in order to select the best strategy for optimum preservation of the textural characteristics of pre‐frozen potato. Ten blanching conditions were tested and a two‐step blanching process with calcium chloride (0.07 g mL^?1) proved the most effective in protecting the tissue after a freeze–thaw process (maximum load force around 10–55% of the raw tissue, depending on potato batch, for air‐blast freezing and 20–60% for immersion freezing). Vacuum impregnation at 100 and 400 mbar, even when followed by different pre‐drying treatments to remove excess water, was very detrimental to resistance to a freeze–thaw process (maximum load force below 10% of the raw tissue for air‐blast freezing and below 20% for immersion freezing). Microstructure analysis confirmed better tissue integrity retention with ethyleneglycol immersion freezing instead of air‐freezing. Differences were found between batches with a 6‐month difference in storage time, indicating that the fresher batch was more suitable for freezing.

Chemical composition,in vitro starch digestibility and amino acid analysis of a underexplored kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris. L.) grown in Chongqing,China

Chemical composition, mineral analysis, in vitro starch digestibility, and amino acid analysis of a kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris. L.), grown in Chongqing, China, were carried out in 2011. The results showed that the bean flour contained low reducing sugar (0.79%) and fat (2.72%), but high protein (24.8%) and starch (44.84%). Mineral analysis indicated high Mg and Ca contents with low Na/K ratio (0.04). The proportions of rapidly digestible starch (RDS), slowly digestible starch (SDS) and resistant starch (RS) were 39.64%, 41.46% and 18.90% respectively. And the variation in their proportions, along with prolonged heating time, showed increase in RDS, and decrease in SDS and RS, but the SDS + RS amount can still account for major parts (51.63%) of the total starch after a 90‐min pre‐cooking. Comparing the amino acid contents of the bean sample with recommended profile FAO/WHO/UNU (1985), the results fulfil the standard except threonine and lysine, whose contents are slightly lower than the requirements (0.93 and 0.85).     

Starch of diverse Mexican rice cultivars: physicochemical,structural, and nutritional features

Structure‐function relationship of rice starch is scarce in the literature. Starch was isolated from diverse Mexican rice varieties and their swelling power (SP), soluble solids (ss), thermal and pasting properties, XRD pattern, in vitro starch digestibility, and AP chain‐length distribution were evaluated. Rice starches with low SP at 60°C had higher temperature and enthalpy of gelatinization. The peak viscosity of rice starches ranged between 2426 and 3519 cP, and the samples presented high values for setback due to the AM content. Rice starches presented the typical A‐type XRD pattern with crystallinity values between 32.7 and 36.3%. Rice starches presented high amounts of short chains (A and B1), and differences were found among the cultivars. AM content for rice starches ranged between 18.4 and 22.9%, and the main fraction recorded by HPSEC was the Fraction III (short chains) with values around 60%. The uncooked rice starch samples presented high values of slowly digestible starch (SDS) and rapidly digestible starch (RDS), and differences were found among the cultivars. In cooked samples decreased SDS and increased RDS and RS. Onset temperature and enthalpy of gelatinization were correlated with the percentage of A‐chains and an opposite pattern was found with the percentage of B1 chains. AP structural characteristics affect the functional, physicochemical, and digestibility properties of rice starches.
