Abstract
Swelling behavior involves the process of starch granules absorbing enough water to swell and increase the viscosity of starch suspension under hydrothermal conditions, making it one of the important aspects in starch research. The changes that starch granules undergo during the swelling process are important factors in predicting their functional properties in food processing. However, the factors that affect starch swelling and how swelling, in turn, affects the texture and digestion characteristics of starch-based foods have not been systematically summarized. Compared to its long chains, the short chains of amylose easily interact with amylopectin chains to inhibit starch swelling. Generally, reducing the swelling of starch could increase the strength of the gel while limiting the accessibility of digestive enzymes to starch chains, resulting in a reduction in starch digestibility. This article aims to conduct a comprehensive review of the mechanism of starch swelling, its influencing factors, and the relationship between swelling and the pasting, gelling, and digestion characteristics of starch. The role of starch swelling in the edible quality and nutritional characteristics of starch-based foods is also discussed, and future research directions for starch swelling are proposed.

Braşoveanu M, Nemţanu MR. Dual Modification of Starch by Physical Methods Based on Corona Electrical Discharge and Ionizing Radiation: Synergistic Impact on Rheological Behavior. Foods 2022; 11:foods11162479. [PMID: 36010483 PMCID: PMC9407343 DOI: 10.3390/foods11162479] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2022] [Revised: 08/09/2022] [Accepted: 08/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
The present paper focuses on evaluating the synergistic effects of dual modification with corona electric discharge (CED) and electron beam irradiation (EBI) on the rheological behavior of starch. Combined treatments were applied successively (CED/EBI and EBI/CED) and compared with single treatments. The outcomes showed that the rheological features of starch were altered by the dual modification in correlation with the irradiation dose mainly as a result of radiation-induced degradation. Decreases in apparent viscosity were described by exponential-like-models according to the order of application of the treatment sequences. The mathematical models allowed the estimation of the irradiation doses for which the viscosity decreased by e times for the dual modified starches (3.3 ± 1.3 kGy for CED/EBI and 5.6 ± 0.5 kGy for EBI/CED, respectively) and the fraction (f) of 0.47 ± 0.10 corresponding to starch granule considered to be affected by plasma. Both dual treatments yielded a synergistic effect, regardless of the order of application of the treatment sequences, being more effective in decreasing starch apparent viscosity than single EBI. However, synergism evaluation proved that the use of plasma as a pre-treatment to irradiation processing could provide benefits up to 20 kGy. These findings support the practical goals of technologists with valuable information that may facilitate or simplify the experimental design of starch dual modification with plasma and ionizing radiation.
