The effect of ball-milling on physicochemical properties of maize starch was evaluated. Results found that the cold water solubility (CWS) of maize starch was positively correlated with the time of milling up to 3 h. There was no significant influence of using a ceramic pot versus a stainless steel pot on CWS. However, following 5 h of ball-milling CWS increased quite dramatically in the cerami...

Barley flour and barley flour-pomace (tomato, grape) blends were extruded through a co-rotating twin-screw extruder. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of die temperature, screw speed, and pomace level on water absorption index (WAI), water solubility index (WSI), degree of starch gelatinization, and in vitro starch digestibility using a response surface methodology. Th...

The influences of pelleting and 13-glucanase supplementation on the digestibility of dietary components in a barley-based diet were investigated in pigs fitted with cannulas in the terminal ileum. The diet contained 49.0% starch, 18.9% crude protein and 14.8% dietary fiber, with arabinoxylans (4.9%), mixed-linked ~-glucans (3.4%) and cellulose (3.3%) as the main fiber components. Pelleting incr...

Chinese yam is an important edible starch plant and widely cultivated in China. Its rhizome and bulbil are starch storage tissues below and above ground, respectively. In this paper, starches were isolated from the rhizome and bulbil of Chinese yam, and their structural and functional properties were compared. Both starches had an oval shape with an eccentric hilum and a CA-type crystalline str...

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...

The aim of this study was to design orally disintegrating tablets of Olanzapine and to complex Olanzapine with 2-hydroxypropyl-β- cyclodextrin with special emphasis on disintegration and dissolution studies. Phase solubility studies demonstrated the formation of 1:1 molar inclusion complex by kneading method. Tablets were prepared by using superdisintegrants namely, sodium starch glycolate, cro...

Mung bean starches were subjected to heat-moisture treatment (HMT) by different moisture contents (15%, 20%, 25%, 30% and 35%) at 120°C for 12h. The impact on the yields of resistant starch (RS), microstructure, physicochemical and functional properties was investigated. Compared to native starch, the RS content of heat-moisture treated starches increased significantly. The RS level of HMT-20 w...

Starch is an important biopolymer, which is used in various branches of industry including food technology, mining, textile and paper industry. The divergence in applications causes the need of different technological parameters, such as granularity, solubility, viscosity, molecular weight. These features are controlled by molecular structure of starch, which is complex and covers all levels of...

The cleaning of food processing plants is essential for ensuring compliance with quality and hygiene standards. Properties food-borne soils such as solubility swelling are relevant provide information concerning their cleanability. In the context processes in industry, aim this study was to determine impact that different fluids exhibit on behaviour consisting amylose- rich native maize, wheat,...
