Physicochemical, pasting, rheological, thermal and morphological properties of horse chestnut starch

Pasting Behavior of Native Water Chestnut (Trapa bispinosa) Starch

Th e pasting behavior of native Water Chestnut Starch – hydrocolloids mixtures was studied. Th e eff ect of Xanthan, Guar, Carboxy Methyl Cellulose and Acacia on Water Chestnut Starch was examined by using micro Viscoamylograph. It was noticed that all hydrocolloids greatly modify the pasting properties of water chestnut starch. Results showed that gelatinization temperature of water chestnut s...

Characterization of banana, potato, and rice starch blends for their physicochemical and pasting properties

The properties of blends of banana, potato, and rice starches were studied to assess their suitability as an alternate for chemically modified starches. The blends of banana, potato, and rice starches were prepared in the respective ratio of 1:3:2, 3:2:1, and 2:1:3. The blend with higher proportion of banana and rice starches (BPR213) showed highest water absorption capacity and oil absorption ...

Effects of Alum on Pasting and Some Physicochemical Properties of Cassava (Manihot esculentum) Starch

Effects of addition of alum (0.00 -1.0% w/w) on pasting and some physicochemical characteristics of cassava starch were investigated with view to evaluate the potential of alum as a cassava starch modifying agent. The modified starch was prepared by pre-treatment of the native starch with alkaline at room temperature prior to modification using alum. Alum modified cassava starch were characteri...

Extraction of Starch from Differently Treated Horse Chestnut Slices

Starch was isolated from dehydrated Horse Chestnut slices dried at temperature of 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90°C and rehydrated chips (dried at 50 and 60°C) at rehydration temperature of 25 and 40°C. Optimization was done on the basis of starch yield. The highest yield was found in the sample dried at 50°C. Physicochemical properties of optimized starch were determined. Color values indicate that the ...
