Application of Shear and Heat Milling Machine for Amorphization of Tapioca Starch

Shear and heat milling machines (SHMMs) constitute a recent mechanical approach that holds promise for the generation of amorphous starch. Here, an tapioca starch SHMM method is developed. The provides higher efficient instant way amorphization rice compared to conventional methods as pressure treatment, ball so on. In this study, temperature initial moisture content are varied, respectively, 80 °C, 100 120 °C 10%, 12%, 14%, identify optimal conditions A lower decreases milled crystallinity no observed after at °C. before results in shear force from moving metal mortars separated by small gap SHMM, together with heat, changed morphology. produced showed round shape native granules became flake-shaped milling. novelty study application
