Abstract
To improve paste stability of cassava starch, including acid resistance, high-temperature shear resistance and freeze-thaw stability, cassava starch was modified by sequential maltogenic amylase and transglucosidase to form an optimally denser structure, or branched density (12.76 %), molecular density (15.17 g/mol/nm3), and the proportions of short-branched chains (41.41 % of A chains and 44.01 % of B1 chains). Viscosity stability (88.52 %) of modified starch was higher than that (64.92 %) of native starch. After acidic treatment for 1 h, the viscosity of modified starch and native starch decreased by 56.53 % and 65.70 %, respectively. Compared to native starch, modified starch had lower water loss in freeze-thaw cycles and less viscosity reduction during high-temperature and high-shear processing. So, the appropriate molecular density and denser molecule structure enhanced paste stabilities of modified starch. The outcome expands the food and non-food applications of cassava starch.

Research on the quantitative relationship of the viscosity reduction effect of large-ring cyclodextrin on potato starch during gelatinization process and mechanism analysis. Carbohydr Polym 2024; 342:122371. [PMID: 39048192 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.122371] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2024] [Revised: 06/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
Starch is extensively used across various fields due to its renewable properties and cost-effectiveness. Nonetheless, the high viscosity that arises from gelatinization poses challenges in the industrial usage of starch at high concentrations. Thus, it's crucial to explore techniques to lower the viscosity during gelatinization. In this study, large-ring cyclodextrins (LR-CDs) were synthesized from potato starch (PS) by using 4-α-glucanotransferase and then added to PS to alleviate the increased viscosity during gelatinization. The results from rapid viscosity analyzer (RVA) demonstrated that the inclusion of 5 % (w/w) LR-CDs markedly reduced the peak viscosity (PV) and final viscosity (FV) of PS by 49.85 % and 28.17 %. In addition, there was a quantitative relationship between PV and LR-CDs. The equation was fitted as y = 2530.73×e-x/2.48+1832.79, which provided a basis for the regulation of PS viscosity. The mechanism of LR-CDs reducing the viscosity of PS was also studied. The results showed that the addition of LR-CDs inhibited the gelatinization of PS by enhancing orderliness and limiting water absorption, resulting in a decrease in viscosity. This study provides a novel method for reducing the viscosity of starch, which is helpful for increasing its concentration and reducing energy consumption in industrial applications.

Abstract
To investigate the potential of inhibiting starch retrogradation by modifying the functional groups of starch, transglucosidase (TG) was used to facilitate active hydroxyl groups to be exposed through increasing branching degree. Subsequently, hexose oxidase (HOX) advantageously promoted the oxidation of starch chains and increased spatial repulsion of starch backbone. The Fukui Function revealed that the oxygen atoms at the C3 and C4 positions on glucose units had a higher oxidation tendency. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis confirmed that the reactive hydroxyl groups underwent an oxidation process with increasing HOX treatment time. From the crystal structure parameters, the c-axis of native corn starch modified by TG for 16 h and HOX for 48 h (or TGHOX-48) was shortened from 16.92 to 16.32 Å and in the long-term retrogradation, TGHOX-48 exhibited the lowest starch retrogradation rate (0.22).

JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2024; 104:7194-7203.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The material composition significantly influences the oil absorption and quality characteristics of fried food products. The oil absorption of restructured potato chips is highly dependent on the structural properties of the restructured potato-based dough produced prior to frying. In this study, three types of starch were added to modify the structure of restructured potato-based dough, allowing the production of potato chips with less oil absorption. RESULTS Distinct differences were observed among the three types of starch in terms of amylose content, chain length distribution, swelling power, solubility, crystalline structure and pasting properties. The addition of wheat starch, corn starch and tapioca starch changed the rheological properties, water distribution and strength of the restructured dough. Importantly, adding wheat starch and corn starch significantly lowered the oil content of potato chips by 7.94% and 13.06%, respectively. The reduction in oil absorption by potato chips was attributed to the increased strength of the starchy gel network of the dough, a slower rate of water evaporation and a limitation of dough expansion during frying. CONCLUSION Adding wheat starch or corn starch to restructured potato-based dough resulted in a decrease in the oil absorption of potato chips by creating a stronger starchy gel network in the dough. This study could guide the development of suitable material compositions, which are important for producing fried food products with lower oil content. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fried foods are favored for their unique crispiness, golden color and flavor, but they also face great challenge because of their high oil content, high calories and the existence of compounds such as acrylamide and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Long-term consumption of fried foods may adversely affect health. Therefore, it is necessary to explore fried foods with lower oil contents and a high quality to meet the demand. RESULTS A method of enzyme treatment was explored to investigate the effects of maltogenic amylase (MA), transglutaminase (TG) and bromelain (BRO) on the physicochemical properties of the batter and the quality of fried spring roll wrapper (FSRW). The results showed that the MA-, TG- or BRO-treated batters had a significant shear-thinning behavior, especially with an increase in viscosity upon increasing TG contents. FSRW enhanced its fracturability from 419.19 g (Control) to 616.50 g (MA-6 U g-1), 623.49 g (TG-0.75 U g-1) and 644.96 g (BRO-10 U g-1). Meanwhile, in comparison with BRO and MA, TG-0.5 U g-1 endowed batter with the highest density and thermal stability. MA-15 U g-1 and TG-0.5 U g-1 displayed FSRW with uniform and dense pores, and significantly reduced its oil content by 18.05% and 25.02%, respectively. Moreover, compared to MA and TG, BRO-50 U g-1 improved the flavor of FSRW. CONCLUSION MA, TG or BRO played a key role in affecting the physicochemical properties of the batter and the quality of FSRW. TG-0.5 U g-1 remarkly reduced the oil content of FSRW with a great potential in practical application. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The lipase (LA) and peroxidase (POD) activities, as well as morphological structure, physicochemical and digestion properties of sand rice flour (SRF) treated with superheated steam (SS), were investigated. SS treatment at 165 °C completely deactivated LA and resulted in a 98% deactivation of POD activities in SRF. This treatment also intensified gelatinization, induced noticeable color alterations, and decreased pasting viscosities. Furthermore, there was a moderate reduction in crystal structure, lamellar structure, and short-range ordered structure, with a pronounced reduction at temperatures exceeding 170 °C. These alterations significantly impacted SRF digestibility, leading to increased levels of rapidly digestible starch (RDS) and resistant starch (RS), with the highest RS content achieved at 165 °C. The effectiveness of SS treatment depends on temperature, with 165 °C being able to stabilize SRF with moderate changes in color and structure. These findings will provide a scientific foundation for SS applicated in SRF stabilization and modification.

Abstract
The current research in the food industry regarding enzymatic modification to enhance the freeze-thaw (FT) stability of starch is limited. The present study aimed to investigate the FT stability of normal corn starch (NCS) modified using 1,4-α-glucan branching enzyme (GBE) derived from Geobacillus thermoglucosidans STB02. Comprehensive analyses, including syneresis, scanning electron microscopy, and low-field nuclear magnetic resonance, collectively demonstrated the enhanced FT stability of GBE-modified corn starch (GT-NCS-30) in comparison to its native form. Its syneresis was 66.4 % lower than that of NCS after three FT cycles. Notably, GBE treatment induced changes in the pasting properties and thermal resistance of corn starch, while simultaneously enhancing the mechanical strength of the starch gel. Moreover, X-ray diffractograms and microstructural assessments of freeze-thawed gels indicated that GBE treatment effectively hindered the association of corn starch molecules, particularly amylose retrogradation. The enhanced FT stability of GBE-modified starch can be attributed to alterations in the starch structure induced by GBE. This investigation establishes a foundation for further exploration into the influence of GBE treatment on the FT stability of starch and provides a theoretical basis for further research in this area.

Abstract
Starch is a key element in fried potato crisps, however, the effect of starch granule size on oil absorption of the product have yet to be fully investigated. The study explored the impact of starch granule size on both the dough characteristics and oil absorption in potato crisps. The dough composed of small-sized potato granules showed more compact and uniform network system. Additionally, X-ray Microscope analysis showed that potato crisps prepared with small-sized potato granules had limited matrix expansion and fewer pores, cracks, and voids. The small-sized potato and small-sized wheat starches granule addition crisps displayed a significantly greater average cell thickness (52.05 and 53.44 μm) than other samples, while exhibiting notably lower average porosity (61.37 % and 60.28 %) compared to other samples. Results revealed that potato crisps with medium and small potato granules had 12.91 % and 21.92 % lower oil content than those containing large potato starch. Potato crisps with B-type wheat starch showed 16.36 % less oil absorption than those with A-type wheat starch. Small-sized starches significantly influence the dough structure and contribute to the reduction of oil absorption in fried products. The generated insights may provide monitoring indexes for cultivating potato varieties with low oil absorption.

Abstract
The large thixotropy of the starch-thickened foods is often unfavorable in many applications. This study examined the contribution of the proportion of amylopectin chain length to time-dependence of starch gels. The α-amylase (AM) from Bacillus stearothermophilus and maltogenic α-amylase (MA) from Bacillus subtilis were used to trim amylopectin in different reaction patterns. HPLC, HPAEC and IBC data suggested AM attacked B-chains (DP 12-36), causing an increment in number of the chains with DP 6-12, whereas MA primarily trimmed the short B-chains (DP 12-18) and partial A-chains (DP 9-12) to generate short chains with DP 6-9. Interestingly, the recovery of AM-gels was faster than MA-gels at the same degree of hydrolysis when subjected to shear according to the linear correlation analysis. When releasing the same mass of sugar, shortening of the long internal chains played an important role in reducing time dependence of starch gel rather than the external side chains. Possible models were proposed to illustrate the differences in the mechanism of rapid-recovery caused by different side-chain distributions. The outcome provided a new perspective to regulate the thixotropy behavior of starch through enzyme strategies in the granular state.

The study investigated the effect of removing protein and/or lipid on the physicochemical characteristics and digestibility of sand rice flour (SRF). Morphological images showed that protein removal had a greater impact on exposing starch granules, while lipids acted as an adhesive. The treatment altered starch content in SRF samples, leading to increased starch crystallinity, denser semi-crystalline region, lower onset gelatinization temperature (To), higher peak viscosity and gelatinization enthalpy (ΔH), where Protein removal showed a more pronounced effect on altering physicochemical properties compared to lipid removal. The research revealed a positive correlation between rapidly digestible starch (RDS), maximum degree of starch hydrolysis (C∞), digestion rate constant (k) values and 1047/1022 cm-1 ratio, showing a strong connection between short-range structure and starch digestibility. The presence of endogenous proteins and lipids in SRF hinder digestion by restricting starch swelling and gelatinization, and physically obstructing enzyme-starch interaction. Lipids had a greater impact on starch digestibility than proteins, possibly due to their higher efficacy in reducing digestibility, higher lipid content with greater potential to form starch-lipid complexes. This study provides valuable insights into the interaction between starch and proteins/lipids in the sand rice seed matrix, enhancing its applicability in functional and nutritional food products.

Abstract
In this study, the effects of maltogenic amylase (MAA) pre-treatment and starch-fatty acid complex construction on the physicochemical properties of maize starch (MAS) were investigated. The average chain length of MAA-modified MAS was found to decrease from 18.15 to 14.92. Moreover, MAA pre-treatment of starch induced the formation of a V-type complex. This behaviour was demonstrated by the higher diffraction intensity, enzymatic resistance and short-range ordering of the samples pre-treated with MAA compared with unmodified samples. X-ray diffraction and rheological analysis revealed that the re-crystallisation peak intensities and storage modulus of MAA-MAS-lauric acid (LA)/stearic acid (SA) complexes were lower than those of MAA-starches, MAS-LA/SA complexes and control. The rate of starch re-crystallisation was effectively decreased by the combination of MAA pre-treatment and V-type complex construction. The anti-retrogradation (long-term) characteristics of the tested samples were in the following order: MAA-MAS-LA/SA complexes > MAA-starches > MAS-LA/SA complexes > control.

Abstract
Cultivated meat production is a promising technology to generate meat while reducing the reliance on traditional animal farming. Biomaterial scaffolds are critical components in cultivated meat production, enabling cell adhesion, proliferation, differentiation, and orientation. In the present work, naturally derived glutenin was fabricated into films with and without surface patterning and in the absence of toxic cross-linking or stabilizing agents for cell culture related to cultivated meat goals. The films were stable in culture media for at least 28 days, and the surface patterns induced cell alignment and guided myoblast organization (C2C12s) and served as a substrate for 3T3-L1 adipose cells. The films supported adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation with mass balance considerations (films, cells, and matrix production). Freeze-thaw cycles were applied to remove cells from glutenin films and monitor changes in glutenin mass with respect to culture duration. Extracellular matrix (ECM) extraction was utilized to quantify matrix deposition and changes in the original biomaterial mass over time during cell cultivation. Glutenin films with C2C12s showed mass increases with time due to cell growth and new collagen-based ECM expression during proliferation and differentiation. All mass balances were compared among cell and noncell systems as controls, along with gelatin control films, with time-dependent changes in the relative content of film, matrix deposition, and cell biomass. These data provide a foundation for cell/biomaterial/matrix ratios related to time in culture as well as nutritional and textural features.

Abstract
Starch is a natural, renewable, affordable, and easily available polymer used as gelling agents, thickeners, binders, and potential raw materials in various food products. Due to these techno-functional properties of starch, food and non-food industries are showing interest in developing starch-based food products such as films, hydrogels, starch nanoparticles, and many more. However, the application of native starch is limited due to its shortcomings. To overcome these problems, modification of starch is necessary. Various single and dual modification processes are used to improve techno-functional, morphological, and microstructural properties, film-forming capacity, and resistant starch. This review paper provides a comprehensive and critical understanding of physical, chemical, enzymatic, and dual modifications (combination of any two single modifications), the effects of parameters on modification, and their applications. The sequence of modification plays a key role in the dual modification process. All single modification methods modify the physicochemical properties, crystallinity, and emulsion properties, but some shortcomings such as lower thermal, acidic, and shear stability limit their application in industries. Dual modification has been introduced to overcome these limitations and maximize the effectiveness of single modification.

Abstract
Maltogenic amylase (MAA) (EC3.2.1.133), a member of the glycoside hydrolase family 13 that mainly produces α-maltose, is widely used to extend the shelf life of bread as it softens bread, improves its elasticity, and preserves its flavor without affecting dough processing. Moreover, MAA is used as an improver in flour products. Despite its antiaging properties, the hydrolytic capacity and thermal stability of MAA can't meet the requirements of industrial application. However, genetic engineering techniques used for the molecular modification of MAA can alter its functional properties to meet application-specific requirements. This review briefly introduces the structure and functions of MAA, its application in starch modification, its effects on starch-based products, and its molecular modification to provide better insights for the application of genetically modified MAA in starch modification.

Abstract
Maltogenic α-amylase (MA) are commercially used in the baking industry to retard starch retrogradation. However, whether MA can be used to modify rice flour during the fermentation process to improve the quality of rice flour remains unclear. In this study, MA was introduced during rice cake (RC) processing, and the modification effect and underlying mechanism were explored. Mn showed a decreasing trend except for 4.0 × 10-3 U/g sample. Chain length distribution data showed that MA effectively hydrolyzed long chains in amylopectin and increased the concentration of amylopectin chain length with a degree of polymerization of ≤ 9. High-performance liquid chromatography results suggested that the maltose content increased to 3.14% at an MA concentration of 9.5 × 10-3 U/g, which affected the fermentation effect of MA-treated RC. MA effectively reduced the viscosity of RC, and the gelatinization enthalpy of RC changed to 0.835 mJ/mg. MA also reduced the hardness and chewiness of RC after storage for 7 d. Moreover, rapidly digestible starch and slowly digestible starch contents of MA-treated RC decreased and increased, respectively, and resistant starch contents were remained unchanged. These results indicate that MA exerts a significant and effective antiretrogradation effect on RC. Combining the above results with sensory evaluation findings, an MA concentration of 4.0 × 10-3 U/g was the best supplemental concentration for obtaining RC with better edible quality. These findings suggest that MA treatment to rice flour during the fermentation process not only preserved the edible quality of RC but also retarded its retrogradation, thus, providing a novel processing method for the industrial production of RC.

Abstract
Maltogenic α-amylase (MA) is widely used to modify starch for improving properties. In this work, A- and B-type starches were separated from wheat completely and submitted to MA hydrolysis. Firstly, research in morphological features (SEM) suggested that MA treatment did not destroy the granule integrity. Next, crystalline features from XRD and SAXS assay showed that MA treatment did not change the crystal form, but deceased crystalline sheet (dc) and amorphous sheet (da) thickness in both modified starches. And amorphous sheet was more severely destroyed at higher MA dosage than crystalline sheet. Then changes in molecule structure (HPAEC) showed that MA mainly acted on sides chains with degree of polymerization 12-24 in amylopectin for both starches, resulting in a reduce in peak, trough, and final viscosity obtained from RVA assay. At last, RVA and DSC assay showed that the short-term and long-term retrogradation were retarded in both modified starches. This range of techniques covered changes in multi-scale structures and retrogradation property resulted from MA treatment on both starches, which provided references for studying the changes in structures and properties of MA modified starch granules and provided an important method for retarding retrogradation of starchy foods without gelatinization processing.

Abstract
Porous starch is attracting considerable attention for its high surface area and shielding ability, properties which are useful in many food applications. In this study, native corn starch with 15, 25, and 45% degrees of hydrolysis (DH-15, DH-25, and DH-45) were prepared using a special raw starch-digesting amylase, AmyM, and their structural and functional properties were evaluated. DH-15, DH-25, and DH-45 exhibited porous surface morphologies, diverse pore size distributions and pore areas, and their adsorptive capacities were significantly enhanced by improved molecular interactions. Structural measures showed that the relative crystallinity decreased as the DH increased, while the depolymerization of starch double helix chains promoted interactions involving disordered chains, followed by chain rearrangement and the formation of sub-microcrystalline structures. In addition, DH-15, DH-25, and DH-45 displayed lower hydrolysis rates, and DH-45 showed a decreased C∞ value of 18.9% with higher resistant starch (RS) content and lower glucose release. Our results indicate that AmyM-mediated hydrolysis is an efficient pathway for the preparation of porous starches with different functionalities which can be used for a range of applications.

Abstract
The high gelatinization temperature (GT) of millet starch prevents the usage of infusion or step mashes as an effective means to generate fermentable sugars (FS) in brewing because the malt amylases lack thermostability at GT. Here, we investigate processing modifications to determine if millet starch can be efficiently degraded below GT. We determined that producing finer grists through milling did not introduce enough granule damage to markedly change gelatinization characteristics, though there was improved liberation of the endogenous enzymes. Alternatively, exogenous enzyme preparations were added to investigate their ability to degrade intact granules. At the recommended dosages (0.625 μL/g malt), significant FS concentrations were observed, although at lower concentrations and with a much-altered profile than possible with a typical wort. When exogenous enzymes were introduced at high (10×) addition rates, significant losses of granule birefringence and granule hollowing were observed well below GT, suggesting these exogenous enzymes can be utilized to digest millet malt starch below GT. The exogenous maltogenic α-amylase appears to drive the loss of birefringence, but more research is needed to understand the observed predominate glucose production.

Abstract
Cations can combine with starch and alter its physicochemical characteristics. The addition of cations may influence the in vitro digestion of potato starch. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, low-field nuclear magnetic resonance, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used to measure the microstructure, relative crystallinity, water distribution, and interaction of potato starch with cations and characterize its digestibility. The results showed that all cations decreased rapidly digestible starch (RDS) at a low concentration but increased the RDS with the addition of cations, especially trivalent cations. However, the resistant starch (RS) had the opposite trend. All cations increased the relative crystallinity of potato starch, except Ca2+. Fe3+, and Al3+ markedly decreased the mobility and hydrogen bonds in potato starch. In general, the addition of cations influenced the retrogradation of potato starch, resulting in a change in its digestibility.

Abstract
Rice flour (RF) has become a promising food material. In the present study, RF with higher protein content was prepared using a granular starch hydrolyzing enzyme (GSHE). Particle size, morphology, crystallinity, and molecular structures of RF and rice starch (RS) were characterized to establish a hydrolytic mechanism; thermal, pasting, and rheological properties were determined to evaluate processability using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), rapid viscosity analysis (RVA), and rheometer, respectively. The GSHE treatment resulted in pinholes, pits, and surface erosion through sequential hydrolysis of crystalline and amorphous areas on the starch granule surface. The amylose content decreased with hydrolysis time, while the very short chains (DP < 6) increased rapidly at 3 h but decreased slightly later. After hydrolysis for 24 h, the protein content in RF increased from 8.52% to 13.17%. However, the processability of RF was properly maintained. Specifically, the data from DSC showed that the conclusion temperature and endothermic enthalpy of RS barely changed. The result of rapid RVA and rheological measurement indicated that RF paste viscosity and viscoelastic properties dropped rapidly after 1 h hydrolysis and thereafter recovered slightly. This study provided a new RF raw material useful for improving and developing RF-based foods.

Abstract
The process of upcycling and incorporating food by-products into food systems as functional ingredients has become a central focus of research. Barley rootlets (BR) are a by-product of the malting and brewing industries that can be valorised using lactic acid bacteria fermentation. This research investigates the effects of the inclusion of unfermented (BR-UnF), heat-sterilised (BR-Ster), and five fermented BR ingredients (using Weissella cibaria MG1 (BR-MG1), Leuconostoc citreum TR116 (BR-TR116), Lactiplantibacillus plantarum FST1.7 (BR-FST1.7), Lactobacillus amylovorus FST2.11 (BR-FST2.11), and Limosilactobacillus reuteri R29 (BR-R29) in bread. The antifungal compounds in BR ingredients and the impact of BR on dough rheology, gluten development, and dough mixing properties were analysed. Additionally, their effects on the techno-functional characteristics, in vitro starch digestibility, and sensory quality of bread were determined. BR-UnF showed dough viscoelastic properties and bread quality comparable to the baker's flour (BF). BR-MG1 inclusion ameliorated bread specific volume and reduced crumb hardness. Breads containing BR-TR116 had comparable bread quality to BF, while the inclusion of BR-R29 substantially slowed microbial spoilage. Formulations containing BR-FST2.11 and BR-FST1.7 significantly reduced the amounts of sugar released from breads during a simulated digestion and resulted in a sourdough-like flavour profile. This study highlights how BR fermentation can be tailored to achieve desired bread characteristics.

Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28072947. [PMID: 37049710 PMCID: PMC10095898 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28072947] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2023] [Revised: 03/20/2023] [Accepted: 03/22/2023] [Indexed: 03/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Efficient inactivation of microbial α-amylases (EC 3.2.1.1) can be a challenge in starch systems as the presence of starch has been shown to enhance the stability of the enzymes. In this study, commonly used inactivation methods, including multistep washing and pH adjustment, were assessed for their efficiency in inactivating different α-amylases in presence of raw potato starch. Furthermore, an effective approach for irreversible α-amylase inactivation using sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is demonstrated. Regarding inactivation by extreme pH, the activity of five different α-amylases was either eliminated or significantly reduced at pH 1.5 and 12. However, treatment at extreme pH for 5 min, followed by incubation at pH 6.5, resulted in hydrolysis yields of 42–816% relative to controls that had not been subjected to extreme pH. “Inactivation” by multistep washing with water, ethanol, and acetone followed by gelatinization as preparation for analysis gave significant starch hydrolysis compared to samples inactivated with NaOCl before the wash. This indicates that the further starch degradation observed in samples subjected to washing only took place during the subsequent gelatinization. The current study demonstrates the importance of inactivation methodology in α-amylase-mediated raw starch depolymerization and provides a method for efficient α-amylase inactivation in starch systems.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 239:124234.

Abstract
Sweet potato starch (SPSt) was treated sequentially with the combination of maltogenic amylase (MA) and branching enzyme (BE) (MA → BE) or BE and MA (BE→MA) to modify its structural and physicochemical properties. Following the MA → BE and BE→MA modifications, the degree of branching was increased from 12.02 % to 44.06 %; whereas, the average chain length decreased from 18.02 to 12.32. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and digestive performance analysis indicated that the modifications reduced hydrogen bonds and increased resistant starch in SPSt. Rheological analysis revealed that the storage and loss moduli of the modified samples were lower than those of the control samples, except for starch treated with MA alone. X-ray diffraction measurements suggested that the re-crystallisation peak intensities of the enzyme-modified starches were lower than those of the untreated sample. The retrogradation resistance ability of the analysed samples followed the order: BE→MA-starches > MA → BE-starches > untreated starch. The relationship between the crystallisation rate constant and short branched chains (DP6-9) was well described by linear regression. This study provides a theoretical foundation for retarding the retrogradation of starch, which can improve food quality and extend the shelf-life of enzymatically modified starchy foods.

Effect of Fermentation on the Quality of Dried Hollow Noodles and the Related Starch Properties. Foods 2022; 11:foods11223685.

Abstract
Crumbly dough fermentation was applied to produce dried hollow noodles, with Lactobacillus plantarum, Koji and yeast as the main fermenting agents. The cooking, textural and digestive properties of the noodles were studied, followed by the morphological, crystalline and thermal properties of the starch. The results show that, compared to unfermented noodles, the optimal cooking time of Koji pre-fermented noodles (KJHN) decreased from 460 s to 253 s, and they possessed a higher percentage of weakly bound water and degree of gelatinization at the same cooking time. After cooking, KJHN had a softer texture and higher starch digestibility. In addition, the physicochemical properties of the KJHN and Lactobacillus plantarum pre-fermented noodles (LPHN) showed a decrease in pH and amylose content, and an increase in reducing sugars content. The starch extracted from KJHN and LPHN had significant superficial erosion and pore characteristics, and the gelatinization enthalpy, relative crystallinity and short-range order were all increased. These changes in the starch properties and the quality characteristics of noodles resulting from Koji fermentation might provide a reference for the development of easy-to-cook and easy-to-digest noodles.

Abstract
Clarifying the interactions between food components is critical in designing carbohydrate-based foods with low digestibility. To date, the hindering effect of starch-protein interactions on starch digestion has attracted extensive attention. In this study, rice proteins were further hydrolyzed, and rice peptides (RP) with different molecular weights were obtained by ultrafiltration. The effects and possible mechanisms of RP with different molecular weights on the structure, thermal properties, and in vitro digestibility of cooked rice starch were investigated. All peptides slowed the digestion of rice starch in a concentration-dependent manner. A concentration of 10% RP>10 decreased the rapidly digestible starch content from 68.02 to 45.90 g/100 g, and increased the resistant starch content from 17.54 to 36.54 g/100 g. The addition of RP improved the thermal stability of the starch and reduced the amount of leached amylose. Infrared analysis shows that strong hydrogen bonds formed between RP (especially RP>10) and starch during co-gelatinization. In addition, RP improved the compactness of aggregated structure and played an important role in hindering the enzymatic hydrolysis of starch. These results enrich the theory of starch-protein interactions and have important implications for the development of carbohydrate-based foods with low digestibility and protein functional foods.
