Determination of the gelatinization temperature of starch presented in maize flours
نویسندگان
چکیده
A study of the influence of the moisture and the grain size on the gelatinization temperature (Tp1) of starch from four industrial maize flours as well as an unprocessed maize sample is presented. The gelatinization is a phase transition that can be observed using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), and it is manifest as an endothermic peak in the DSC thermogram. Results show that for 60, 65, 70 and 75% of moisture, the endothermic peak temperature increases from 70 to 75◦C when the moisture increases, and decrease when the grain size increases from 250 to 420μm. A study of the gelatinization enthalpy (∆Hp) is also presented, this is related with the gelatinized starch present in the sample. The enthalpy decrease when the moisture increases and it decrease when grain size is increased.

Influence of DIC hydrothermal process conditions on the gelatinization properties of standard maize starch
Standard maize starch was hydrothermally treated at residual moisture content (~12 %) by Instantaneous Controlled Pressure Drop for various pressure levels and processing times. In order to examine the homogeneity of the starch treatment, three thicknesses (1.5, 1 and 0.5 cm) were tested at 3 bar of steam pressure. For the three thicknesses, the temperature and the moisture content of starch we...
متن کاملEvaluation of black tea polyphenol extract against the retrogradation of starches from various plant sources.
The effects of black tea polyphenol extract (BTPE) on the retrogradation of starches from different plant sources were studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). DSC analysis shows that the gelatinization temperature of maize starch and starches from different rice varieties increased with increasing BTPE level. After storage at 4 °C, BTPE at a concentrat...

The objective of this study was to understand the resistant-starch (RS) formation during kernel development of a high-amylose maize, GEMS-0067 line. The RS content of the starch, determined using AOAC method 991.43 for total dietary fiber, increased with kernel maturation and increase in the amylose/intermediate component (IC) content of the starch. Gelatinization of the native starches showed ...
متن کاملSome Nutritional Properties of Starch and Dietary Fiber in Barley Genotypes Containing Different Levels of Amylose
The nutritional properties of starch and dietary fiber (DF) were studied in barley genotypes containing different amylose contents: Waxy Campana (-8% amylose); Alva, Lina, and Glacier normal (normal varieties, 25-27% amylose); and Glacier high (-35% amylose). On an equivalent starch basis, all barley varieties showed a somewhat higher availability to aamylase than a wheat reference. Among the b...

Extrusion cooking as an attractive process for continuous food production has been extensively developed in recent years. The high temperature–short time extrusion cooking is used in the food industry to produce direct expanded products such as snack foods, breakfast cereals and pet foods (Miller, 1990; Moore, 1994; Rokey, 1994). Extrusion of food material results in starch gelatinization, dena...
