Abstract
The effect of cross-linking (CL), carboxymethylation (CM), and hydroxypropylation (HP) on the physicochemical, micro-structural, and thermal properties of sorghum dietary fiber (SODF) was studied. Results reflected that all three modifications significantly (p < 0.05) increased the water absorption capacity, swelling capacity, oil absorption capacity, and soluble dietary fiber content of SODF with CM being the most effective treatment. The CM significantly (p < 0.05) improved the solubility (9.9 %), whereas CL (4.65 %) and HP (2.79 %) significantly reduced the solubility of native SODF. The color analysis reflected the decrease in L* value after all modifications, indicating an increase in brown color of SODF. XRD analysis reflected an increase in crystallinity value (14.47 to 17.94 %) of SODF after modifications, resulting in increased thermal stability of modified SODF. The DSC results revealed the increased decomposition temperature of cross-linked and hydroxypropylated dietary fiber showing improved thermal stability of these types of modified fibers. The changes in thermal, physicochemical, and microstructural properties of SODF after modification could be ascribed to the changes in structure and chemical composition as reflected from SEM, XRD, and FTIR analysis.
