Influence of prior acid treatment on physicochemical and structural properties of acetylated sorghum starch

Influence of prior acid treatment on acetylation of starch isolated from an Indian sorghum cultivar was investigated. The starch was acid thinned (AT) using 0.1, 0.5, and 1 M HCl for 1.5 h and then acetylated (Ac) with acetic anhydride (8% w/w). The acid thinning and subsequent acetylation appeared to reduce the percentage acetylation as indicated by degree of substitution. Ac‐AT starches exhibited significantly different physicochemical, thermal, pasting, and gel textural properties from those of AT and Ac starches. Starches after dual modification showed higher solubility, lower AM content, gelatinization temperatures, retrogradation, peak viscosity, and gel hardness than native starch. Enthalpy and range of gelatinization were observed to be higher in dual modified starches than native starch. However, no significant changes in granule morphology or crystalline pattern of Ac‐AT starches were observed compared with native starch.     

A Comparative Study of the Effect of Acetylation on Starches of Phaseolus vulgaris Biotypes

Enzyme hydrolysis, X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry and Visco/Amylo/Graphy were used to examine the strength of associative bonding forces between starch chains of native legumes. Addition of acetic anhydride resulted in unequal degrees of substitution. Scanning electron microscopy revealed no differences between the external morphology of native and acetylated starches. Similarities in the X-ray diffraction patterns of native and acetylated starches indicated that acetyl groups mainly entered the amorphous regions. On acetylation, decreases in starch hydrolysis, gelatinization temperatures, enthalpies of gelatinization, extent of viscosity increase during the holding period at 95°C and syneresis, and increases in 95°C viscosity, set-back and amylose exudation were observed. It appeared the extent of distribution of the acetyl groups between the amylose and the amorphous regions of the amylopectin fraction varied among legume biotypes, and differences existed between legume starches with regard to the ratio of the concentration of the acetyl group at the 2—O position relative to that at 6—O.     

超高压辅助制备醋酸酯淀粉结构性质研究

以玉米淀粉为原料,乙酸酐为反应试剂,NaCl为反应介质,采用超高压辅助制备醋酸酯淀粉,利用光学显微、X-射线衍射、快速黏度分析技术对醋酸酯淀粉结构性质进行分析。研究表明,颗粒态醋酸酯淀粉结晶类型与原淀粉相同,当处理压力为600 MPa时淀粉糊化,颗粒结构被破坏,A型结晶向V型结晶转换,但糊化并不利于醋酸酯淀粉取代度的增加。适量NaCl的添加有利于超高压处理时淀粉颗粒态的维持,因而有效提高了醋酸酯淀粉的取代度。当NaCl溶液浓度为1.0%、乙酸酐添加量为2.0%、压力为400MPa时,所制备的醋酸酯淀粉取代度达到最大值(0.090),且表现出较高的峰值黏度(400.00cP)。     

Physicochemical properties of acetylated starches from some Indian kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivars

Starches separated from four kidney bean cultivars were modified by acetylation to reduce retrogradation and increase gel stability and compared with respective native starches (data of native starch reported by Wani et al., 2010 ). Acetylation was carried out by treating starches with 0.04 and 0.08 g of acetic anhydride per gram of starch dry weight basis (dwb) at 25 °C and pH between 8.0 and 8.5. The extent of acetylation increased proportionally with the concentration of acetic anhydride used. The pasting curves of 10.7% starch determined by Rapid Visco Analyzer at 160 rpm showed that acetylation decreased the setback viscosity values by 0.64–34.58% and pasting temperature by 4.4–9.2 °C when compared with the native starch. Differential scanning calorimetry observations also revealed significant (P ≤ 0.05) decrease in gelatinisation temperature of acetylated starches than the corresponding native starches. Hardness of starch gels varied between 14.3 and 44.0 g, which was significantly (P ≤ 0.05) lower than the corresponding native starch gels.     

Influence of acetylation on physicochemical, functional and thermal properties of potato and cassava starches

Starches were isolated from cassava (Manihot esculenta) and potato (Solanum tuberosum) tubers. They were further modified by acetylation. The physicochemical, functional and thermal properties of native and modified starches, prepared using acetic anhydride at different times (10 and 20 min) were compared. Potato starch (Sipiera/20) showed higher acetyl percentage and degree of substitution values than cassava (2425/20) starch when acetylated for 20 min. Proximate analysis revealed that the acetylated starches retained more moisture than the native ones. Above 75 °C, acetylation improved the water binding capacity of the native cassava starch; the same trend was observed for potato starch from 60 to 90 °C after acetylation. The X-ray powder diffraction patterns derived from acetylated potato starches were similar to its native form, which was expected as B-type pattern; the same trend was observed for modified cassava starch. However the modified starches showed increased crystalline index.     

Effect of reagent type on the acetylation of barley and maize starches

The objective of this work was to study the effect of reagent type on properties of acetylated barley starch (BS) and maize starch (MS) after modification with acetic anhydride (AA) and vinyl acetate (VA) at similar molar concentration for mole of glucose of both reagents. Degree of substitution (DS), morphological characteristics and granule size distribution, gelatinization and retrogradation, pasting properties, and X‐ray diffraction pattern were evaluated. Acetylation disturbs the short and long range order, and the effect was higher with AA than VA, and for BS than MS. This is due to the higher DS determined in AA–BS. In the pasting profile, acetylated starch showed the maximum peak viscosity at lower temperature, this effect was strongest for BS and anhydride acetic‐acetylation. Differential scanning calorimetry showed decrease in gelatinization parameters in acetylated starches (temperatures and enthalpy), and retrogradation was suppressed by acetylation. This effect was stronger in starches acetylated with AA despite their higher DS. This pattern can be explained from the occurrence of surface effects in acetylation with AA.     

Facile preparation of sago starch esters using full factorial design of experiment

A facile solvent‐free method to acetylate sago starch (Metroxylon sagu) is reported. Microwave (100 W) was used as the heating source and the heating time was varied from 2 to 10 min with the temperature of acetylation maintained at 100°C under continuous stirring. Using a 2⁴ full factorial design of experiment, it was found that the degree of substitution (DS) of acetylated sago starch was strongly affected by the ratio of starch to acylating reagents, the ratio of acetic anhydride to acetic acid as the acylating reagents, the concentration of iodine as catalyst and reaction time. The physicochemical characteristics of the acetylated sago starch were assessed based on the FTIR spectra, the XRD spectra, the water absorption index (WAI), and the water solubility index (WSI). SEM was used to study the surface morphology of the acetylated sago starch at different DS.     

Functional and dynamic rheological properties of acetylated starches from two cultivars of cassava

The starches derived from two different cultivars of cassava were modified with acetic anhydride. The increase in swelling power and solubility of the cassava starch (CS) pastes treated with different acetic anhydride concentration could be attributed to easier hydration, resulting from reduction of interaction between starch chains due to the substitution. The transition temperatures (T_o, T_p and T_c) and enthalpy of gelatinisation (ΔH) of acetylated CS, were determined. The values were lower than those of native starches. Rheological properties of CS pastes (5% w/w) as a function of the degree of substitution were evaluated in dynamic shear force measurements. Magnitude of storage modulus (G′), loss modulus (G′′) and complex viscosity (Eta*) of acetylated CS pastes were determined also. Dynamic moduli (G′, G′′ and Eta*) values of acetylated sweet cultivar pastes were generally higher than those of native starch whereas the acetylated samples of the bitter cultivar were lower than those of native starch. The magnitudes of G′ were greater than those of G′′ and Eta* at all frequencies (ω). The fact that all the tan δ (ratio G′′/G′) values (0.7–0.48 and 0.25–0.44) were less than one is an indication that the samples are more elastic than viscous. The acetylated starches could find promising industrial uses in food products like Lemon curd and Mayonnaise and other non‐food applications.

Facile Preparation of Starch Triacetates

Commercial high-amylose corn, ordinary corn and potato starches were fully acetylated by reacting the starches at 123°C for 5 h in fourfold quantities of acetic anhydride to which 11% (w/w starch) of sodium hydroxide catalyst had been added as 50% aqueous solution. Intrinsic viscosities of the starches regenerated from their esters were slightly lower than the values for the corresponding unreacted starches and indicated that only minor degradation hat occurred during acetylation. Amylose obtained by the butanol fractionation of corn starch was also readily acetylated by this procedure. However, commercial potato amylose required removal of the small amount of magnesium sulfate present to achieve both full acetylation (44.8% acetyl) and minimum depolymerization of the starch.     

Functional Properties of Modified Black Gram (Phaseolus mungo L.) Starch

Black gram (Phaseolus mungo L.) starch was modified by heat and moisture treatments, acetylation, oxidation, cross-linking, and adding free fatty acids (palmitic, stearic, and linoleic). Heat and low moisture treatment, acetylation, oxidation, and cross-linking lowered the starch gelatinization temperature by 1–6°C, while adding fatty acids and the high moisture-heat treatment raised it by 1–4°C. All modifications caused an increase in least gelation concentration of starch. High moisture-heat treatment increased both water and oil absorption of starch. At 95°C, heat-moisture treated, acetylated, and oxidized starches were more soluble, while fatty acid treated and cross-linked starches were less soluble compared to raw starch. The modified starches had greater swelling capacity and solubility at pH 2.0 and 10.0. Heat-moisture treated and chemically modified starches had lower swelling capacity (at 95°C) than that of isolated starch, whereas addition of fatty acids increased it.     

Structure,functionality, and digestibility of acetylated hulless barley starch

Hulless barley starch was extracted and further acetylated using acetic anhydride at different level (3.75, 7.5, 11.25 g/100 g) in this study. The structure changes and functional properties of acetylated hulless barley starches comparing to the native starch were evaluated and analyzed. The shape of granules remained unaltered with cracks formed after modification. Small- (1 μm) and large-sized (20 μm) were observed in four kinds of starches while granule particle sizes distribution changed dramatically. Four hulless barley starches presented A-type x-ray diffraction pattern, with relative crystallinity of 25.6, 27.1, 26.2, and 24.8% for native and acetylated starches. The infrared ratio of 1045/1024 and 1025/995 cm^?1, indicated the difference in long-range order of crystallinities and short-range order of double helices. Results observed in swelling power, gelatinization parameters, pasting viscosities, and in vitro digestibility indicated acetylated hulless barley starch’s potential as a functional food additive and a healthy ingredient.     

Effect of acetylation on the properties of corn starch

Acetylated corn starches with different degrees of substitution (DS 0.85, DS 1.78, DS 2.89) were synthesized by the reaction of corn starch with acetic anhydride in the presence of acetic acid under varying reaction temperatures. The product was characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, ¹H NMR, X-ray diffraction and contact angle measurement. Acid-base titration and ¹H NMR methods were employed to determine the degree of substitution of product. FTIR spectroscopic analysis showed that the characteristic absorption intensities of esterified starch increased with increase in the degree of substitution, and the characterized peak of hydroxyl group almost disappeared in the spectrum of DS 2.89 acetylated starch. The detailed chemical microstructure of native starch and acetylated starch was confirmed by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR and ¹³C–¹H COSY spectra. Analysis of ¹H NMR spectra of acetylated starches was assigned accurately. Strong peaks in X-ray diffraction of acetylated starch revealed that new crystalline regions were formed. Compared with native starch, the hydrophobic performance of acetylated starch esters was increased. The contact angle of acetylated starch with DS 2.89 was 68.2°.     

Effects of Granule Sizes on Physicochemical Properties of Cross‐linked and Acetylated Wheat Starches

Large and small wheat starch granules were used for cross‐linking and acetylation to determine effects of granule sizes on physicochemical properties of the modified starches. The native and cross‐linked starches from the small granules showed higher phosphorus contents than did those from the large granules. However, the level of phosphate substituents in the modified starches was not significantly different between the large and small granules under the same conditions. In contrast, the large granules had a higher reactivity with acetic anhydride than did the small granules. The phosphate group cross‐linked starch (CS), acetylated starch (AS) and acetylated cross‐linked starch (ACS) from the large granules had lower gelatinization temperatures and higher enthalpies than those from the small granules. The paste viscosities of the CSs from the large granules decreased rapidly, whereas those of the AS or ACS increased significantly as compared with those from the small granules. The pastes of cross‐linked starches from the small granules were more stable than those from the large granules, whereas the pastes of AS and ACS from the large and small granules had similar resistance to freeze‐thaw treatment. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) also showed that the small granules were less damaged after modification than the large ones. Thus, the different granule sizes resulted in different physicochemical properties of starch after modification.     

Effect of Storage on Starch Content and Modification of Cassava Starch

The effect of storage on yield and modification of starch using hydrochloric acid and acetic anhydride were studied. Yield of starch from fresh roots (24.4%) was significantly greater than yield (16,2%) from roots stored at room temperature for six days. On a dry weight basis the amount of starch in the roots decreased over a six day storage period. The proximate composition of cassava starch on dry weight basis was 0.24% ash, 0.13% fat, 0.49% protein, 0.15% crude fibre and 98.4% starch. The isolated starch was treated with different concentration of hydrochloric acid to produce acid thinned and dextrinized starches and different concentration of acetic anhydride to produce acetyl substituted starches. The alkali number of acid thinned and dextrinized starches increased with acid treatment while the viscosity decreased. The degree of substitution increased with the concentration of acetic anhydride used. The cold water solubility of the acid thinned and acetyl substituted starches were similar to that of native starches while the solubility of the dextrinized starches increased with the acid concentration. The viscosity of the acetyl substituted starches increased with the degree of substitution.     

Effect of the production method on the properties of RS3/RS4 type resistant starch. Part 2. Effect of a degree of substitution on the selected properties of acetylated retrograded starch

Resistant starch displays health-promoting properties. Starch preparations produced through acetylation of retrograded starch may be applied as a food additive. Apart from prebiotic properties, they may as well model the texture of a food product. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of retrogradation and acetylation conditions on properties of the produced RS3/4 type resistant starch. Native potato starch was used to produce starch pastes (1, 4, 10, 18 or 30g/100g), that were frozen, defrosted and dried. The resultant preparations of retrograded starch were acetylated with various doses of an acetic acid anhydride (3.25, 6.5, 13.0, 26.0 or 52.0ml/100g). The acetylated preparations of retrograded starch were characterised by increasing solubility in water and swelling power as well as a lower amylose content along with an increasing degree of their substitution with residues of acetic acid. Dependencies of: pasting temperatures, viscosity of the prepared pastes, and resistance of acetylated starch to the action of amyloglucosidase on the degree of substitution with acetic acid residues were described with a second degree polynomial function. The extent and range of changes were found to depend on the concentration of paste used to produce a retrograded starch preparation. The maximum resistance of RS3/4 preparations to the action of amyloglucosidase ranged from 28.7 to 45.9g/100g.     

Effect of Acetylation on Some Properties of Corn and Potato Starches

Corn starch and starches separated from different potato cultivars were acetylated to evaluate the effect of plant source on the physicochemical, morphological, thermal, rheological, textural and retrogradation properties of the starches. Corn starch showed a lower degree of acetylation than potato starches under similar experimental conditions. The degree of acetylation for different potato starches also differed significantly. Morphological examination revealed that the granules of acetylated Kufri Chandermukhi and Kufri Sindhuri starches tended to appear as fused and less smooth than native starch granules. Acetylation of corn and potato starches decreased the transition temperatures and enthalpy of gelatinization and increased swelling power and light transmittance. However, the change in these was greater in the potato starches with higher percentage of small sized granules. Acetylated starches showed higher peak G', G'' and lower tan δ than their counterpart native starches during heating. Among the starches from different cultivars, the change in the rheological parameters after acetylation differed to a significant extent. The retrogradation was observed to be negligible in the acetylated cooked starch pastes. Results implied that the change in functional properties of starches with acetylation depends on source and granule morphology of native starch.
