[PMID: 39128746 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.134627] [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: 03/18/2024] [Revised: 07/21/2024] [Accepted: 08/08/2024] [Indexed: 08/13/2024]
Abstract
The molecular structures of starch and sugar/sugar alcohol are recognized as critical determinants of starch pasting and retrogradation properties. However, their combined effects on these properties remain elusive. This study for the first time examined the pasting and retrogradation properties of nine starches with diverse molecular structures, both with and without the addition of glucose, sucrose, isomaltose, isomalt, and sorbitol. The presence of sugar/sugar alcohol significantly enhanced starch pasting viscosity. In particular, the variations of the peak viscosity of wheat starch were more pronounced than other starches, possibly due to its distinct molecular structures. The changes in melting temperatures and enthalpy of retrograded starches were complex, varying depending on the type of starch and sugar/sugar alcohol used. For example, the melting peak temperature ranged from 56.45 °C (TS) to 61.9 °C (WMS), and the melting enthalpy ranged from 0.16 J/g (TS) to 5.6 J/g (PES). The micromorphology of retrograded starch revealed agglomeration and needle-like structures, instead of a network structure, after the addition of glucose and sorbitol, respectively. Correlations between starch molecular structure and pasting properties remained largely unchanged, while the relationship between starch molecular structure and retrogradation properties exhibited notable variations after the addition of sugars or sugar alcohols. These findings help a better understanding of the effects of starch molecular structure and the presence of sugar/sugar alcohol on starch pasting and retrogradation properties.

Abstract
The rare sugar D-allulose (Alu), with ca. 10% calories of sucrose (Suc), is a promising alternative sugar that can be used to improve the quality of starch gels in storage. The effects of Alu (compared to Suc) on the hardening and microstructural and molecular order of amylopectin-rich (glutinous rice (GR) and corn amylopectin (CAP)) and amylose-rich (corn (C)) starch gels were investigated. Alu and Suc both suppressed hardening in C gels, while Alu but not Suc was effective in GR and CAP gels. SEM results showed that Alu-containing GR and CAP maintained a relatively large pore size compared to Suc-containing gels. The deconvolution of FTIR spectra revealed that Alu-containing GR and CAP gels had lower ratios of intermolecular hydrogen bonds and higher ratios of loose hydrogen bonds than Suc-containing gels. For amylose-rich C gels, on the other hand, such tendencies were not observed. The influence of Alu on amylopectin-rich gels could be because Alu reduced the ratio of intermolecular hydrogen bonds, which might be involved in amylopectin recrystallization, and increased that of loose hydrogen bonds. The results suggest that Alu is more effective than Suc in inhibiting the hardening of amylopectin-rich starch gels during refrigerated storage.

Abstract
Mesona chinensis polysaccharide (MCP) has excellent gel-forming characteristic, previous studies showed that MCP could affect the gelling and structural properties of rice starch, but the effect of MCP on rice starch from different types is not clarified. In this study, the effects of MCP on the pasting, rheological, and structural characteristics of glutinous rice starch (GRS), japonica rice starch (JRS), and indica rice starch (IRS) were investigated. The results showed that GRS-MCP has the best viscosity, its peak and final viscosities are higher than JRS-MCP and IRS-MCP. The gel network structure was enhanced by MCP in the order of IRS > JRS > GRS, which was reflected by greater elasticity, higher gel strength and hardness, and less free water in JRS-MCP and IRS-MCP. MCP also enhanced the ordered structure and thermal stability of the three starch gels, which is conducive to their application in the market. These findings provide new theoretical insights to produce rice starch-based foods.

Carbohydr Polym 2024; 330:121785. [PMID: 38368080 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.121785] [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: 04/06/2023] [Revised: 12/25/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 02/19/2024]
Abstract
The relationship between the fine structure of starch and its gelatinization properties is not well studied, particularly in relation to the influence of sugar or sugar alcohol. In this study, seven starches with distinct molecular structures were investigated to determine how different sugars and sugar alcohols affect their gelatinization properties. The inclusion of sugars and sugar alcohols resulted in a significant elevation of starch gelatinization temperatures (∼ 8 °C), especially with sucrose, isomaltose and isomalt. Nevertheless, the influence of these sugars/ sugar alcohols on the gelatinization temperature range and enthalpy change varied depending on the particular starch varieties. According to the correlation analysis, sugars and sugar alcohols mainly exert their impact on the starch gelatinization temperature range and enthalpy change by possibly interacting with amylose chains possessing a degree of polymerization ranging from 100 to 1000 (p < 0.05) and inhibiting the amylose leaching during gelatinization. These findings help a better understanding of the complex relationship between starch fine structure and gelatinization properties under the influence of sugars and sugar alcohols.

Abstract
In this study, corn films based on corn starch were fabricated through the casting method, and various plasticizers (namely, erythritol and d-mannitol) were incorporated. The study delved into the gelatinization and physicochemical characteristics of these corn starch-based films. Additionally, the impact of different ratios of plasticizers on reductive gelatinization was assessed using RVA analysis. The investigation also encompassed the effects of varying plasticizer ratios on starch granule expansion, amylose dissolution, and amylopectin melting. Interestingly, as the proportion of d-mannitol increased, there were gradual increases in film thickness, water content, and water contact angle, alongside decreases in water vapor permeability, crystallinity, and water solubility of the corn starch-based films. In essence, this research provides a fundamental basis for potential industrial applications of corn starch-based films.

Abstract
This study aimed to produce oleogels based on non-germinated and germinated wheat starches with orange essential oil, apply them to replace hydrogenated vegetable fat in bread, and assess the antifungal action. The oleogels were prepared using sunflower oil, wheat starches, beeswax, water, and orange essential oil (OEO). They were evaluated to determine the volatile compounds, oil binding capacity, texture profile, storage stability for 20 days, thermogravimetric analysis, and functional groups. The breads were evaluated by their moisture content, specific volume, texture profile, volatile compounds, and microbiological contamination during 15 days of storage. The oleogels showed high storage stability, were fully intact after 20 days of storage, and had a high oil binding capacity (∼100 %). The oleogels with OEO presented increased adhesiveness and reduced hardness compared to the ones without essential oil. The oleogels with OEO based on germinated wheat starch released a high amount of volatile compounds. Substituting saturated vegetable fat with oleogels in bread formulation resulted in decreased hardness and maintained specific volume. Furthermore, incorporating OEO oleogels in the bread led to reduced growth of total mesophiles and fungi.

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.

Abstract
The addition of sweeteners and fructooligosaccharides (FOS) to partially reduced-sugar syrup allows for the development of high-sugar egg-based desserts, which are a healthier alternative with good consumer acceptance. This study aimed to analyze the effects of different sweeteners and sugar reductions on physicochemical properties, consumer liking, and emotional responses of sweet egg yolk drops. Five experimental desserts were prepared: four with 25 % low-calorie sweeteners (erythritol, mannitol, sorbitol, and tagatose) combined with 25 % FOS in reduced-sugar syrup (50 %), and one as a control (full-sugar formulation). Substitution of erythritol (E50), mannitol (M50), and tagatose (T50) in the syrup significantly decreased the quality of the desserts. This implies a decrease in the sensory properties, leading to negative emotional responses among consumers. However, the application of external preference mapping (EPM) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) revealed that two of the four commercial desserts and one control sample (F100) included sorbitol desserts (S50). Desserts in this group that are related to specific attributes as drivers of liking, such as appearance, yellowness, sweetness, cohesiveness, and juiciness evoke positive emotional responses in consumers ('Auspicious', 'Glad', 'Attractive', 'Secure', 'Loving', 'Natural'). Therefore, sorbitol and FOS are suitable sweeteners in reduced-sugar syrups for producing egg-based desserts with reduced calories and improved consumer acceptance. This study thus paves the way for the development of healthy dessert products.

Abstract
The pasting and retrogradation behaviors of starch are altered by the presence of sugars and are important in dictating the storage stability and texture of starch-containing foods. The use of oligosaccharides (OS) and allulose in reduced-sugar formulations is being explored. The objectives of this study were to determine the impacts of different types and concentrations (0% to 60% w/w) of OS (fructo-OS, gluco-OS, isomalto-OS, gluco-dextrin, and xylo-OS) and allulose on the pasting and retrogradation attributes of wheat starch compared to starch in water (control) or sucrose solutions using DSC and rheometry. Physicochemical properties of the additives and their effects on amylose leaching were also considered. Significant differences in starch pasting, retrogradation, and amylose leaching were found between the control and additive solutions, influenced by additive type and concentration. Allulose increased starch paste viscosity and promoted retrogradation over time (60% conc. PV = 7628 cP; ΔHret, 14 = 3.18 J/g) compared to the control (PV = 1473 cP; ΔHret, 14 = 2.66 J/g) and all OS (PV = 14 to 1834 cP; ΔHret,14 = 0.34 to 3.08 J/g). In the allulose, sucrose, and xylo-OS solutions, compared to the other OS types, the gelatinization and pasting temperatures of starch were lower, more amylose leaching occurred, and pasting viscosities were higher. Increasing OS concentrations elevated gelatinization and pasting temperatures. In most 60% OS solutions these temperatures exceeded 95 °C thereby preventing starch gelatinization and pasting in the rheological analysis, and in conditions relevant for inhibiting starch gelatinization in low moisture-sweetened products. Fructose-analog additives (allulose and fructo-OS) promoted starch retrogradation more than the other additives, while xylo-OS was the only additive that limited retrogradation across all OS concentrations. The correlations and quantitative findings from this study will assist product developers in selecting health-promoting sugar replacer ingredients that impart desirable texture and shelf-life properties in starch-containing foods.

Mechanisms of the different effects of sucrose, glucose, fructose, and a glucose-fructose mixture on wheat starch gelatinization, pasting, and retrogradation. J Food Sci 2023; 88:293-314. [PMID: 36511442 PMCID: PMC10107537 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.16414] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2022] [Revised: 11/18/2022] [Accepted: 11/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
The gelatinization, pasting, and retrogradation of starch influence texture, quality, and shelf-life attributes of many foods. The purpose of this work was to document the effects of a 50:50 glucose:fructose (glc:fru) mixture and sucrose solutions on these starch traits to provide a fundamental basis to explain the different texture and shelf-life attributes of baked goods formulated with these sugars. Differential scanning calorimetry, rapid visco analyzer, and oscillatory rheometry were used to quantify the effects of glucose, fructose, glc:fru mixture, and sucrose at different concentrations (0% to 60% w/w), on the gelatinization temperature, pasting, and retrogradation properties of wheat starch. Distinct differences were found between the effects of sucrose and those of the monosaccharides including the glc:fru mixture. Sucrose elevated Tgel and pasting temperature most and decreased other RVA parameters compared to the monosaccharides as concentration increased. Fructose and the glc:fru mixture promoted amylopectin retrogradation, while retrogradation was inhibited in sucrose and glucose solutions. The glc:fru mixture had similar effects on starch properties compared to fructose under static measurement conditions (DSC), and the effects were in between those of glucose and fructose under dynamic conditions when shear was applied (RVA and rheology). These effects are explained by the phase separation and/or solute partitioning of the monosaccharide constituents of the glc:fru mixture. Sugar solution physicochemical properties correlated strongly with starch gelatinization and retrogradation. The results substantiate the important relationship between sugar physicochemical properties and solution dynamics with starch thermal properties, which in turn affect the texture and structure of starch-containing food products. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: The quality attributes of starch-containing baked goods are influenced by how different amounts and types of sugars affect starch cooking properties. The underlying mechanisms of the different sugar effects involve solution viscosity, intermolecular hydrogen bonding, and phase separation. Substituting one sugar for another has less effect on these starch properties in products with lower sugar concentrations than in products with more sugar. Mixtures of sugars behave differently than single sugars in different conditions due to phase separation. Baked goods made with glucose:fructose mixtures in place of sucrose likely have higher amounts of gelatinized starch and increased firmness (i.e., staling or retrogradation) over time.

Abstract
A gelled emulsion ingredient based on high oleic sunflower oil (20%) and an isolated soy protein suspension were used in the elaboration of a cake to avoid the use of ingredients of animal origin. The control product was elaborated with butter and milk. Sugar was used in both types of formulations, but it was partially replaced by maltitol in the reformulated product. Decreases of 25% in energy and 67% in fat supply were achieved, as well as a 36% reduction in the sugar content. The saturated fatty acid amount was 0.57 g/100 g product, in contrast with the 9.45 g/100 g product found in control products. Differences in color were observed both through instrumental and sensory analysis, especially in the crust, with lower values for the Browning index in the reformulated products. The hedonic test, carried out with 44 untrained panelists, showed a good score for general acceptability (6.1 in contrast to 7.2 for control products), and no significant differences from the control were found for flavor.

Abstract
This study was to investigate the impact of granule size, amylose content, and starch molecular characteristics on pasting and rheological properties of starch paste/gels in neutral (water) and sugar-acid systems. Normal rice starch (RS), waxy rice starch (WRS), normal tapioca starch (TS), and waxy tapioca starch (WTS) representing small-granule starches and intermediate-granule starches respectively, were used in the study. Impacts of granule size, AM content, and their synergistic effects resulted in different starch susceptibility to acid hydrolysis and interactions between starch and sucrose-water, yielding different paste viscosities in both systems. The high molecular weight (Mw¯) and linearity of amylopectin and amylose molecules increased the consistency of starch pastes. RS produced a stronger and more brittle gel than other starch gels in both neutral and sugar-acid systems. The results indicated the impact of the effect of granule size and amylose content on starch gel behaviors. Properties of waxy starch gels were mainly governed by amylopectin molecular characteristics, especially in the sugar-acid system. Adding sugar and acid had minor impacts on starch gel behaviors in the linear viscoelastic (LVE) region but were most evident in the nonlinear response regime of starch gels as shown in the Lissajous curves at large oscillatory strain.

Variable Effects of Twenty Sugars and Sugar Alcohols on the Retrogradation of Wheat Starch Gels. Foods 2022; 11:foods11193008.

Abstract
Starch retrogradation is desirable for some food textures and nutritional traits but detrimental to sensory and storage qualities of other foods. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of sweetener structure and concentration on the retrogradation of wheat starch gels. The effects of 20 sweeteners selected based on common food usage and stereochemical structures of interest, and ranging in concentration from 10 to 50%w/w, on the retrogradation of wheat starch gels were monitored spectrophotometrically over time. The sweeteners were sucrose, xylose, ribose, glucose, galactose, fructose, mannose, mannitol, L-sorbose, xylitol, tagatose, allulose, maltose, lactose, isomaltulose, isomalt, sorbitol, maltitol, and raffinose. Retrogradation rates and amounts were compared by Avrami equation rate constants (k = 0.1–0.7) and absorbance values measured on day 28 (Abs = 0.1–1.0), respectively. Both sweetener concentration and type significantly affected retrogradation. Gels made with sugar alcohols and high sweetener concentrations (≈≥40%) tended to retrograde more and faster, whereas gels made with sugars and low sweetener concentrations tended to have lower retrogradation rates and amounts. Sweeteners with more equatorial and exocyclic hydroxyl groups (e.g., glucose and maltitol) and those with larger molar volumes (e.g., isomaltulose and raffinose) tended to increase the rate and amount of retrogradation, particularly at higher concentrations. The impact of sweeteners on retrogradation was a balance of factors that promoted retrogradation (intermolecular interactions and residual short-range molecular order) and inhibiting behaviors (interference at crystallization sites), which are influenced by sweetener concentration and structure. Understanding which sweeteners at which concentrations can be used to promote or inhibit retrogradation is useful for product formulation strategies.

Abstract
The gelatinization of wheat starch influences the final structure and texture of baked goods. Sucrose effectively elevates the gelatinization temperature (Tgel) of starch more than many sweeteners, and maintaining a higher Tgel has been a challenge while reducing the amount of sucrose in baked goods. The objective of this study was to quantify the effects of 14 different oligosaccharides (OS: maltose, isomaltulose, kestose, maltotriose, melezitose, raffinose, stachyose, a fructo-OS, a galacto-OS, an isomalto-OS, lactosucrose, a xylo-OS, and two glucose-based dextrins), allulose, and sucrose at different concentrations (0 to 60% w/w) on the Tgel of wheat starch using DSC, and to determine which OS physicochemical properties best explained the Tgel results. OS type and concentration significantly altered Tgel. Many OS elevated the Tgel as much as or more than sucrose at the same solution concentrations, while allulose did not. The onset Tgel in water was 60 °C, in 60% sucrose was 96 °C, in 60% allulose was 80 °C, and Tgel increased up to 107-108 °C in 60% fructo-OS and Nutriose® solutions. The effects of OS on Tgel correlated most strongly (r > 0.95) with two OS solution parameters: the solvent effective volume fraction (ϕw,eff, related to solute intermolecular hydrogen bond density) and solution viscosity, to a lesser extent with solution water activity, and not to the glass transition temperature of the OS. Based on Tgel elevation, many of the OS are promising sucrose replacements in baked goods, which could facilitate their use in desirable higher fiber, reduced sugar starch-based baked product formulations.

Abstract
Improving the technological functionality of climate-resilient crops (CRCs) to promote their use in staple foods, such as bread, is relevant to addressing food and nutrition security in Africa. Dry heating of cowpea flour (CPF) was studied as a simple technology to modulate CPF physicochemical properties in relation to bread applications. For this purpose, the melting behavior of cowpea starch and proteins in CPF was first studied and modeled using Flory–Huggins theory for polymer melting. Next, dry-heating conditions were investigated based on the predicted biopolymer melting transitions in CPF to be well below starch and protein melting. The pasting properties (i.e., peak viscosity, final viscosity, breakdown and setback) of CPF could be selectively modulated depending on temperature-time combinations without altering the thermal behavior (i.e., melting enthalpies) of CPF. Water-binding capacity and soluble solids decreased with the increased severity of the temperature-time combinations. Dry-heated CPF added to CRC-based bread significantly improved crumb texture. In particular, dry heating at 100 °C for 2 h provided bread with the highest crumb softness, cohesiveness and resilience. The positive effects on the crumb texture could be largely related to enhanced starch integrity, as indicated by a reduction in breakdown viscosity after treatment. Overall, dry heating of CPF under defined conditions is a promising technology for promoting the use of CPF as a techno-functional and protein-rich ingredient in bread-type products.
