Homogeneous modification of corn starch with acetic anhydride was performed in ionic liquids 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (BMIMCl) without catalysts. The results indicated that the pretreatment of starch, which starch was dissolved in BMIMCl at 1058C for 2 h before reaction, provided feasible reaction environment for starch functionalization. Optimum modification conditions for maximum ...

The effect of incorporating different forms cassava (flour, native and sour starch) on the quality gluten-free breads was evaluated. Ten or 20% a maize starch/rice flour mixture replaced by these products. Pasting hydration properties mixtures were analysed. rheology doughs obtained also studied. produced evaluated for specific volume, weight loss, texture, sensory characteristics. did not chan...

Methods for processing feedstuffs before analysis can affect analytical results. Effects of drying temperature (corn silage), preservation method (corn grain), and grinding method (corn silage and grain) on starch analysis values were evaluated. Corn silage samples dried at 55 or 105 degrees C and grain samples dried at 55 degrees C were ground to pass the 1-mm screen of an abrasion mill or cut...

Rice starch is used as an additive in various food and industrial products. With the inherent merits of small and uniform size distribution of rice starch and its white color and clean odor, deserts and bakery products are some of the favorable applications among processed foods [1]. The small granular size of the starch imparts it soft texture, high water retention and low syneresis, suggestin...

Resistant starch is formed from starch and its degradation products and is not digested or absorbed in the intestine; thus, it is characterized as a fiber. Because fiber intake is associated with the prevention of DNA damage and cancer, the potential antigenotoxic, antimutagenic, and anticarcinogenic capabilities of resistant starch from green banana flour were evaluated. Animals were treated w...

Starch-g-polyacrylonitrile (starch-g-PAN) copolymers were prepared by ceric ammonium nitrate initiation, and the major portion of the starch in these graft copolymers was then removed by acid hydrolysis to yield PAN with oligosaccharide end groups. Although these PAN-oligosaccharide samples reacted with methyl methacrylate in the presence of eerie ammonium nitrate, the resulting products were l...

Protein as well as starch is fermented in the colon, but the interaction between protein and starch fermentation and the impact on colonic oncogenesis is unknown. High-protein diets increase delivery of protein to the colon and might promote oncogenesis through generation of toxic products. We investigated the interaction of resistant starch (RS) with digestion-resistant potato protein (PP) on ...

The processing methods for mung bean starch noodles were used to form “starch pasta” from various isolated wheat starches. The objective of this research was to evaluate the changes in the surface and internal structure of pasta and “starch pasta” made from various flours and wheat starch before and after cooking. Cooked “starch pasta” revealed a honeycomb-like internal structure similar to coo...

The enzymatic and acid hydrolysis have converted eight new starches into a range of chain lengths mainly including glucose, maltose, and maltodextrins as observed on TLC plates, irrespective to the starch variety and treatment. Results of the enzymatic hydrolysis have highlighted the possibility of the use of V4 and V64, which can be labelled as "dietary fibres", to enhance the organoleptic qua...

Starch is the major source of carbohydrates in the human diet. Starch is present in many different fruits, vegetables, roots, and grains. Starch and starch derivatives are a nutritive, abundant, and economical food source. Starch can be consumed unprocessed in the form of raw fruits and vegetables or in the form of more shelf-stable processed foods. Food starches contribute to the characteristi...
