Morphological,thermal, rheological and noodle‐making properties of potato and corn starch

A comparison between the morphological, thermal, rheological and noodle‐making properties of corn starch and potato starches separated from five different potato cultivars was made. The granule size and shape of all starches differed significantly. Potato starch granules were comparatively larger than corn starch granules, while the transition temperatures were found to be higher for corn starch. Consistency coefficients and flow behaviour indices measured by back extrusion were higher for potato starches than for corn starch. Stickiness of cooked starch pastes was observed to depend upon their consistency coefficient. The gels made from all potato starches showed higher gel strength than those from corn starch. The gel strength of starches from both corn and potato increased during refrigerated storage. The amylose content, swelling power, solubility and light transmittance values of potato starches were significantly higher than those of corn starch. Noodles made from potato starches had higher cooked weight and cooking loss than corn starch noodles. Texture profile analysis revealed that potato starch noodles also had higher hardness and cohesiveness than corn starch noodles. Hardness of cooked noodles from all starches increased and cohesiveness decreased during storage. Noodles made from starches of higher viscosity exhibited higher hardness and cohesiveness. Textural differences among cooked starch noodles appeared to be associated with morphological, thermal and rheological properties of corn starch and potato starches. © 2002 Society of Chemical Industry     

Characteristics of Different Types of Starch in Starch Noodles and Their Effect on Eating Quality

Several commercial starch noodles made from legume, tuber, geshu (kudzu and sweet potato) and fernery starches were used to study the characteristics of starch in starch noodles and their effect on eating quality of starch noodles. Scanning electron microscopy observation found that the special inner structure of starch noodles was composed of some broken starch granules and some gel-like substances. Tuber and legume starches had the highest and lowest solubility, swelling power, swelling factor, setback, breakdown, peak viscosity, and final viscosity, respectively. Legume and tuber starches had the highest and lowest gelatinization temperature, respectively. Tuber and geshu starches had the highest amylose leaching rate, while legume starches owned the lowest value (p < 0.05). Tuber starches had the highest conclusion temperature of gelatinization (151.12~158.86°C). Fernery starches had the lowest value of retrogradation enthalpy (967.33 J/g dry starch). Legume starch noodles had the lowest broken rate (0.00~1.67%), swelling ratio (332.64~343.57%), and cooking loss (2.40~2.74%), and the highest hardness (87.47~93.29 g/mm2), shear deformation (0.49~0.52), and elasticity (0.58~0.62), However, tuber and fernery starch noodles did the opposite, tuber and legume starch noodles had the highest and lowest cohesiveness, respectively. All the above cooking and starch properties test results of starch noodles demonstrated that, compared with others, legume starch noodles are relatively well in eating quality. The correlation analysis showed that the cooking and physical quality of starch noodles could be perfected significantly by improving the swelling and pasting properties for starch of starch noodles, while thermal properties had no obvious influence on them.     

Application of native and phosphorylated tapioca starches in potato starch noodle

Summary Characteristics of potato starch noodles substituted with native, phosphorylated and commercial phosphorylated (MTS283) tapioca starches were evaluated. Substitution of up to 17% with phosphorylated tapioca starch or up to 35% with MTS283 improved the quality of potato starch noodles. The resulting noodles were transparent and less brittle when uncooked, and were moderately elastic, less sticky and experienced lower cooking loss and less swelling when cooked. Substitution with native tapioca starch of up to 17% was also possible, but the uncooked noodles were less transparent and the cooked noodles swelled more and were less elastic.

Effects of different crop starches on the cooking quality of Chinese dried noodles

To investigate the effects of seven starches made from different crop sources on noodle quality, Chinese dried noodles made from various reconstituted flours were prepared and analysed. Potato starch had better solubility and swelling power than the other starches, leading to higher water absorption, cooking loss and breakage ratio of the potato starch noodles. The correlation results unravelled that the cooking breakage ratio of noodles presented positive correlations with solubility, swelling power, peak viscosity (PV), trough viscosity (TV) and final viscosity (FV) values of starches. Besides, the adhesiveness of noodles showed a positive correlation with conclusion temperature (T_c) and setback viscosity (SV) values of starches. Moreover, the peak temperature (T_p) value of starches was negatively correlated with cooking loss; the granule size of starches had a positive correlation with noodles water absorption; and the peak time (PkT) value of starches represented positive relationships with noodles chewiness, shearing force and breaking strength.     

Hypochlorite oxidation of field pea starch and its suitability for noodle making using an extrusion cooker

The effect of hypochlorite oxidation on the Brabendar pasting properties of field pea starch and the suitability of native and oxidized starch for noodle making by extrusion cooking were investigated. Field pea starch was oxidized with sodium hypochlorite at a level of active chlorine ranging from 0.89 to 3.28% (starch db). The degree of oxidation was determined and expressed in terms of percentage of carboxyl and carbonyl groups, which ranged from 0.02 to 0.38% and 0.06 to 0.19%, respectively. Starch recovery and peak viscosity, hot paste viscosity, cool paste viscosity, and setback of oxidized starches decreased with increasing degree of oxidation. The cooking quality attributes of noodles prepared from native field pea starches were acceptable but were negatively influenced by hypochlorite oxidation. Substitution of potato starch (40%, db) for field pea starch yielded more glossy noodles with better cooking quality. It was also observed that Brabendar pasting properties had high correlations with noodle quality characteristics.     

Studies on noodle quality of potato and rice starches and their blends in relation to their physicochemical, pasting and gel textural properties

The physicochemical, pasting, and gel textural properties of potato and rice starches and their blends were studied in relation to their noodle making performance. Amylose content, swelling power and solubility values of potato starch were significantly (P ≤ 0.05) higher than for rice starch. Pasting properties showed higher peak, final and setback viscosity for potato starch as compared to rice starch. Texture profile analysis revealed that potato starch gel had higher hardness, cohesiveness and chewiness as compared to rice starch gel. Potato starch noodles showed higher cooked weight and cooking loss and were scored higher by sensory panellists especially with respect to transparency and slipperiness. On the other hand, rice starch noodles were more firm with lower cooking loss. Addition of potato starch to rice starch significantly (P ≤ 0.05) affected the noodle characteristics. Among the starch blends studied, blending of potato and rice starch in the ratio of 1:1 resulted in good quality noodles in terms of their lower cooking time, higher cooked weight, transparency and slipperiness. The results revealed the possibility of blending of potato starch with rice starch in equal proportions to produce noodles of acceptable quality.

Influence of amylose content on cooking time and textural properties of white salted noodles

White salted noodles were prepared from reconstituted flours of various amylose content to determine the effects of amylose content on noodle dough properties and texture of noodles cooked for optimum cooking time. With decrease of amylose content from 26.5 to 3. 0%, optimum water absorption of noodle dough increased from 39 to 49% and cooking time of noodles decreased from 16 to 7 min. Hardness of cooked noodles prepared from reconstituted flour consistently decreased with increase in proportion of waxy starch. Noodles less than 12.4% amylose content exhibited higher springiness and cohesiveness than noodles greater than 17.1% amylose content. Cohesiveness and springiness of noodles prepared with partial waxy starches, of which amylose content ranged from 16. 6 to 22. 7%, were comparable to those of noodles prepared from <12. 4% amylose content. Amylose content of starch was significantly correlated with hardness, springiness, and cohesiveness of cooked noodles prepared from reconstituted flours.     

20种蚕豆淀粉物理特性、糊化回生特性与粉丝品质的关系

对20种中国主产区蚕豆淀粉粉丝烹煮品质和感官品质进行了评价,并对蚕豆淀粉的物理特性指标、糊化回生指标与相应的粉丝品质进行相关性分析。淮安大蚕豆等5个蚕豆品种的淀粉制作的粉丝品质最好,而青海马牙等3个蚕豆品种的淀粉制作的粉丝品质较差。蚕豆淀粉部分物理特性指标与粉丝品质的密切相关表现在:持水性越低,溶解度越低,膨润力越低,粉丝品质越好。淀粉的冻藏缩水率、透光率与粉丝的烹煮、感官品质指标相关性不大。蚕豆淀粉的RVA参数与其粉丝感官品质指标密切相关,其中衰减度、峰粘度、保持强度等对其影响最大。蚕豆淀粉凝胶强度越大,粉丝的烹煮品质和感官品质越好。在评价蚕豆淀粉品种的粉丝加工适应性时,一方面可以通过测试蚕豆淀粉的溶解度、持水性、膨润力和凝胶强度来预测其粉丝烹煮品质和感官品质的好坏;另一方面可以用RVA测试蚕豆淀粉,预测其相应的粉丝感官品质的优劣。     

Thermal and Rheological Properties of Mung Bean Starch Blends with Potato,Sweet Potato,Rice, and Sorghum Starches

Blending diverse starches is green and easy to diversify starch functionalities and to lower the cost of food production. Mung bean starch is commonly used to make starch noodles with good quality. Other starches may replace the mung bean starch to reduce the production cost. Four common starches (potato, sweet potato, rice, and sorghum) were added to mung bean starch with the mixing ratio up to 100 %. The gelling, thermal, pasting, steady shear, and dynamic rheological properties of these starch systems were studied and compared. One thermal endotherm was found in all starch blends, but individual components still tended to gelatinize separately based on calculations of melting enthalpy data. However, nonlinear changes in rheological and gelling properties were mostly found, and the data can be fitted by polynomial equations (order 2), indicating the existence of interactions among components during these tests. Granule size and amylose content of starch played important roles in the nonadditive behaviors.     

Suitability of pigeon pea and rice starches and their blends for noodle making

The physicochemical and pasting properties of pigeon pea and rice starches were studied to assess their suitability for noodle making. Amylose content, solubility and freeze thaw stability of pigeon pea starch were significantly higher than those of rice starch (p < 0.05). The pasting properties of peak viscosity, final viscosity, breakdown and set back showed higher values for pigeon pea starch, whereas hot paste viscosity and pasting temperature were higher for rice starch. Rice starch noodles revealed less cooking time (4 min) and less percent solids loss, whereas pigeon pea starch noodles had higher cooking time (12 min), higher percentage of water absorbed during cooking, more hardness and cohesiveness. Rice starch noodles scored higher for their transparency and slipperiness over pigeon pea starch noodles. Blending of pigeon pea starch with rice starch had significant effects on the cooking and sensory quality of noodles. Among starch blends, 70:30 blend of the pigeon pea and rice starches respectively resulted in good quality of noodles especially in terms of their higher transparency, slipperiness, overall acceptability and cohesiveness values. Blending of pigeon pea starch with 30% rice starch could produce noodles with superior quality as compared to native pigeon pea and rice starch noodles.     

马铃薯淀粉糊化和凝胶特性与马铃薯粉品质的关系

Effect of Potato Starch Properties on Instant Noodle Quality in Wheat Flour and Potato Starch Blends

The properties of potato starch and their effect on the quality of Chinese‐style alkaline instant noodles made from wheat flour and potato starch blends were investigated. Starches were extracted from nine potato cultivars, and the phosphorus content of these starches was analyzed together with the median granule size and pasting and gelatinization properties. Instant noodles were manufactured using mixtures of wheat flour and these potato starches. A Rheoner instrument was used to evaluate three textural parameters, namely, the breaking force (BF), breaking energy (BE), and ratio of the breaking force to the breaking deformation (BF/BD), of instant noodles cooked by immersing into boiling water for 3 and 7 min. The phosphorus content, peak viscosity, and breakdown were significantly and positively correlated with the BF of the noodles cooked for 3 min and did not significantly correlate with that of those cooked for 7 min. Other quality parameters of potato starch did not affect the BF significantly. Other textural parameters of instant noodle quality, such as the BE and BF/BD, did not significantly correlate with any of the quality parameters of potato starch. The findings obtained with the use of wheat flour and potato starch blends suggest that phosphate, which is thought to enhance starch viscosity of potato starch, is important for making instant noodles with favorable texture in hardness.     

Influence of Cooking Method on Digestibility of Legume and Cereal Starches

The influence of processing on starch nutrition was evaluated. Cereal starches including wheat, normal corn and high amylose corn; legume starches including field pea, kidney bean and mung bean; and potato starch and glucose were evaluated as carbohydrate sources. Starches were fed raw, or cooked in a pressure kettle or autoclave, dried in a spray drier or freeze-drier, or simultaneously cooked and dried on a drum drier or by extrusion cooking. Except for potato and high amylose corn, cooking the starches provided no nutritional advantage, as evaluated by weight gain, feed efficiency ratio, or apparent protein digestibility. Spray-dried starches were less dense and appeared to influence growth by restricting food consumption.     

Pasting and Thermal Properties of Potato and Bean Starches

Starches from potato (Mainechip, ND651-9 and Commercial) and Navy and Pinto bean were isolated and the pasting and thermal properties examined. Analysis by Rapid Visco-Analyzer (RVA) showed potato starches had lower pasting temperatures, higher peak viscosity, and lower setback than bean starches. High intrinsic viscosity values obtained for the potato starch indicated higher average molecular weight for the potato starches compared to the bean starches. Characterization of thermal (gelatinization and retrogradation) properties of starches by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) showed that potato starches had sharp, well-defined gelatinization thermograms, while bean starches had broad, shallow thermograms with higher peak temperature (Tp). Potato starches required higher gelatinization enthalpies than bean starches. In comparison with gelatinization, the retrogradation thermograms of starches stored at three different temperatures (23,4 and −10°C) were broader and occurred at the lower temperatures. Compared to potato starches, Navy and pinto bean starches showed a higher retrogradation enthalpy at 4 and 23°C storage temperatures, but a lower enthalpy at −10°C.
