Extraction of Starch from Differently Treated Horse Chestnut Slices
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 starch was light in color with L value of 96.2. The starch was having a neutral pH with zero carboxyl content. The bulk density value was 0.85g/ml and sediment value was 36ml. Light transmittance showed a decreased trend with increased storage period of 120hrs. Syneresis and freeze thaw values were increased from 0 to 3.24 % and 0 to 20.21 % with storage period. General Terms Horse Chestnut starch, centrifuge, spectrophotometer, grinder

متن کاملIdentification and expression analysis of starch branching enzymes involved in starch synthesis during the development of chestnut (Castanea mollissima Blume) cotyledons
Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima Blume) is native to China and distributes widely in arid and semi-arid mountain area with barren soil. As a perennial crop, chestnut is an alternative food source and acts as an important commercial nut tree in China. Starch is the major metabolite in nuts, accounting for 46 ~ 64% of the chestnut dry weight. The accumulation of total starch and amylopectin ...

Studies were conducted to characterize the chestnut and its starch. Chemical composition of the chestnuts showed high level of starch. Moisture level in the raw nuts was around 50g/100g in wet basis and starch content, around 80g/100g in dry basis; other nut flour components were protein (5.58 g/100g), lipid (5.39 g/100g), crude fiber (2.34 g/100g) and ash (2.14 g/100g). Starch fraction was che...
