Characterizing Physicochemical Properties of Enset Starch

Effects of heat-moisture treatment on physicochemical properties of wheat starch

Abstract Heat-moisture treatment is a physical method for starch modification to improve its functional properties depending on the application. The functional characteristics of the heat-moisture treated starch depend upon the source of starch and treatment conditions including time and temperature. The main objective of this study was to determine the functional properties of heat-moisture tr...

Physicochemical Properties and End-use Quality of Wheat Starch as a Function of Waxy Protein Alleles

Soft wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) quality tests (milling and baking quality) and starch characteristics (amylose concentration, X-ray diffractograms, thermal properties and pasting properties) were determined for eight granule-bound starch synthase (GBSS: waxy protein) genotypes in a soft wheat background. Lines carrying two null alleles showed reduced amylose concentrations relative to those o...

Physicochemical properties and starch digestibility of Scirpus grossus flour and starch.

Flour and starch isolated from the tubers of Scirpus grossus were investigated for their physicochemical properties and starch digestibility. The flour was extracted using two different processes namely peeled and unpeeled processes. Proximate analysis revealed that the flours from both processes contain considerably high total starch, more than 80%, which indicate their potential use as starch...

Effect of extrusion cooking on the physicochemical properties, resistant starch, phenolic content and antioxidant capacities of green banana flour.

Green banana flour was extruded through a co-rotating twin-screw extruder with constant barrel temperature. The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of extrusion cooking variables (feed moisture, FM, 20% and 50%; screw speed, SS, 200 and 400rpm) and storing of the extruded flours at 4°C for 24h on the physicochemical properties, resistant starch (RS), pasting properties and ant...
