The processing methods for mung bean starch noodles were used to form “starch pasta” from various isolated wheat starches. The objective of this research was to evaluate the changes in the surface and internal structure of pasta and “starch pasta” made from various flours and wheat starch before and after cooking. Cooked “starch pasta” revealed a honeycomb-like internal structure similar to coo...

wheat starch is the most common type of starch in iran as well as many other parts of the world with enormous applications in food and non-food products. to improve its physicochemical properties or create new functionalities, starch can be modified by changing its molecular structure. amongst different methods for starch modification, physical methods have received more attention recently. pre...

An enzymatic method based on hydrolysis of starch by amyloglucosidase and measurement of d-glucose released by glucose oxidase-peroxidase was developed to measure both gelatinized starch and hydrolyzable starch in situ of dried starchy products. Efforts focused on the development of sample handling steps (particle size reduction of dry samples followed by a unique mechanical resolubilization st...

In this study, modified starch was used as a fat replacer in the milk. The fat replacer was manufactured from modified starch such as pre-gelatinized and cross–linked starches. Modified starches were manufactured by hydrochloric acid and citric acid treatments from potato and wheat and were added to skim milk at concentrations of 0.15%, 0.30% and 0.45%. Viscosity, total solid, fat content, titr...

The effect of gelatinization of dietary starch (wheat, corn and potato) on the distribution of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase along the small intestine of rats was studied in villus and crypt cell populations isolated by graduated scraping. Gelatinized starch preferentially stimulated jejunal reductase activity in both villus and crypt cells and consequently retained ...

Two key feed processing parameters, conditioning temperature and time, were altered to determine their effects on concentration of gelatinized starch and vitamin retention in a pelleted finishing swine diet. Diet formulation (corn–soybean meal based with 30% distillers dried grains with solubles) was held constant. Treatments were arranged in a 2 × 3 factorial design plus a control with 2 condi...

The effects of incorporating various montmorillonite nanoclays into wheat, potato, corn, and waxy corn starch samples were examined by rheology and X-ray diffraction. The nanoclays included the hydrophilic Cloisite NaC clay as well as the more hydrophobic Cloisite 30B, 10A, and 15A clays. Frequency sweep and creep results for wheat starch–nanoclay samples at room temperature indicated that the ...

Current injectable calcium phosphate bone cements (CPC) encounter the problems of low strength, high brittleness, and low cohesion in aqueous environment, which greatly hinder their clinical applications for loading-bearing bone substitution and minimally invasive orthopedic surgeries. Here, a strategy of using gelatinized starches to reinforce injectable CPC was investigated. Four types of sta...

A series of well-characterized starch-g-polyacrylonitrile (PAN) graft copolymers was prepared from corn starch which had been heated in water at temperatures up to 94°C to vary the extent of starch granule swelling and disruption. Graft polymerization onto gelatinized starch gave less frequent grafting of higher molecular weight PAN than comparable graft polymerizations onto ungelatinized starc...
