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...

Summary Batter stabilisation presents a great challenge for gluten‐free (GF) bread, as CO 2 is released during bread‐making process, resulting in small, dense and crumbly breads. Apart from starch, protein plays crucial role gas cell stabilisation. This study aims to assess the effect of non‐gluten different sources (plant animal) on GF batter's rheological behaviour (pasting properties, rheolo...

In-vitro digestibility and functional properties of Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranean) (BG) flour, and its native and hydrothermally modified starches were investigated. The isolated native starch (BNS) was modified by annealing at 50°C for 48 hr (BAS), and heat-moisture treated at 100°C for 16 hr at 25% moisture level (BHS). The crude protein of BG flour was 16.88%. The amylose content of ...

there is some evidence on the effects of organic acids on the functional properties of native starches. however, there is little information on such effects on modified starches. the main objective of this study was to determine the effects of l-ascorbic acid (150 mg kg-1, as the permitted level in bakery products) on functional properties of cross-linked wheat starch. once the starch was treat...

Fortification of custard powder (CP) with protein from cheap sources such as soybean could potentially improve its nutritive value but may alter its functional and sensory properties. This study was therefore conducted to determine the effect of soy protein isolate (SPI) inclusion (0%-20%) on some functional and sensory properties of cassava starch-based CP. Functional, pasting, and sensory acc...

The major component of starch is the branched glucan amylopectin. Structural features of amylopectin, such as the branching pattern and the chain length distribution, are thought to be key factors that enable it to form semicrystalline starch granules. We varied both structural parameters by creating Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) mutants lacking combinations of starch synthases (SSs) SS1, ...

the present study used a constant level of citric acid and polyvinyl alcohol and different amounts of nanocrystalline cellulose (cnc) and tio2 nanoparticles to improve the properties of starch film. the effect of different amounts of glycerol was also examined. the results of differential scanning colorimetry demonstrated that the addition of cnc increased the melting and glass transition tempe...

Starches from six wild rice cultivars were studied for their chemical structures and physicochemical properties and compared with a long-grain rice starch. The six wild rice starches were similar in morphological appearance, X-ray diffraction patterns, swelling power, and water solubility index but different in amylose content, beta-amylolysis limit, branch chain length distribution, thermal pr...

Edible film is a thin layer that used as substitute for synthetic plastic or primary packaging of food product. Corn starch suspended with chitosan and glycerol able to improve the quality edible film. The purpose this research determine physical characteristics from modified corn starch. concentrations were 15%, 20% 25%, 30% 40%. Physical observed thickness, absorption, solubility degradation....
