Diets containing 30% by weight of waxy maize starch, lactose monohydrate, acetylated distarch phosphate (EEC No. 1414) or acetylated distarch adipate (EEC No. 1422) were fed to weanling female Specified Pathogen-Free Sprague-Dawley rats for 1 yr and to similar 9-month-old rats for 34 wk. Behaviour and general health were unaffected by the different diets and there were no diet-related differenc...

Fermented soybean beverages are an alternative for improving intestinal health, and fermentation reduces the anti-nutritional factors of this legume. However, they do show high syneresis low viscosity. Modified cassava starches could be added as a thickener and/or stabilizer to improve quality product. The aim research was assess effect adding modified starch on physicochemical properties ferme...

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 esti...

Chemical modifications (citrification, acetylation and phosphorylation) of breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis) starch were performed using dual (microwave-assisted chemical) processes, the physicochemical properties, degree substitution in-vitro hydrolysis modified starches evaluated standard methods while changes in molecular structure was assessed Fourier transform-infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. T...

The fabrication of high-quality low-fat 3D printed foods is strongly dependent on the development shear-thinning, viscoelastic, and thixotropic ink with a monomodal particle size distribution. In this study, oil was partially or totally replaced hydrophobically modified biosurfactants (acetylated starch, octenyl succinic anhydride ethyl (hydroxyethyl) cellulose, dodecenyl succinylated inulin) i...

Resistant starches are type of dietary fibers. However, their physiological effects depend on the way they resist digestion in the gastrointestinal tract. The objective of this study was to examine the hypothesis that new type of RS4 preparations, of in vitro digestibility of about 50%, obtained by cross-linking and acetylation, acts as a prebiotic by increasing short chain fatty acids content ...

Acetylation is a chemical modification for estherification, in which hydroxyl groups are replaced with acetyl groups that offers him major stability, changing the physicochemical and functional properties of the starches. Acetylated starches presents 6-10 ° C less at the gelatinization temperature and the maximum peak viscosity is greater than that of a native starch, so are more readily disper...

Ultrasound technique was used to produce native and acetylated cassava starch particles containing potassium sorbate (KS). In order obtain an active packaging, films with addition of KS (NKSPF) or added (AKSPF) were formulated. As control systems, without (CF) that not retained in (KSF), produced. The NKSPF AKSPF microstructure consistent composite materials. Tensile test revealed CF KSF ductil...
