Exploring the remarkable effects of microwave treatment on starch modification: From structural evolution to changed physicochemical and digestive properties. Carbohydr Polym 2024; 343:122412. [PMID: 39174077 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.122412] [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: 04/25/2024] [Revised: 06/04/2024] [Accepted: 06/16/2024] [Indexed: 08/24/2024]
Abstract
As one of the crucial components of the food system, starch can be hydrolyzed into glucose after gastrointestinal digestion, so regulating its digestive properties is vital for maintaining health. Microwaves can promote the rearrangement of intramolecular structure of starch, thus improving its physicochemical properties, enhancing its slowly digestible features, and expanding its scope of application. This review zooms in describing recent research results concerning the effects of microwave treatment on the multi-scale structure and physicochemical properties of starch and summarizing the patterns of these changes. Furthermore, the changes in starch structure, resistant starch content, and glycemic index after digestion are pointed out to gain an insight into the enhancement of starch slowly digestible properties by microwave treatment. The resistance of starch to enzymatic digestion may largely hinge on the specific structures formed during microwave treatment. The multi-level structural evolutions of starch during digestion endow it with the power to resist digestion and lower the glycemic index. The properties of starch dictate its application, and these properties are highly associated with its structure. Consequently, understanding the structural changes of microwave-modified starch helps to prepare modified starch with diversified varieties and functional composites.

Food Chem 2024; 446:138841.

Abstract
Native starch has poor stability and usually requires modification to expand its industrial application range. Commonly used methods are physical, chemical, enzymatic and compound modification. Microwave radiation, as a kind of physical method, is promising due to its uniform energy radiation, greenness, safety, non-toxicity. It can meet the demand of consumers for safe food. Microwave-assisted modification with other methods can directly or indirectly affect the structure of starch granules to obtain modified starch with high degree of substitution and low viscosity, and the modification efficiency is greatly improved. This paper reviews the effect of microwave radiation on the physicochemical properties of starch, such as granule morphology, crystallization characteristics, and gelatinization characteristics, as well as the application of microwave radiation in starch modification and starch food processing. It provides theoretical references and suggestions for the research of microwave heating modified starch and the deep processing of starchy foods.

Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 220:426-434. [PMID: 35981682 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.08.075] [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: 05/06/2022] [Revised: 07/30/2022] [Accepted: 08/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
The effects of lysine addition and microwave treatment (MC) on the digestibility, physicochemical properties and structure of corn starch were investigated. Among all uncooked samples, unmodified corn starch (CS), microwave modified corn starch (MC-CS) and corn starch mixed with lysine (CS-Lys) contained 15.09 %, 14.82 % and 18.86 % slowly digestible starch (SDS), while up to 30.28 % in microwave-lysine modified corn starch (MC-Lys). In contrast to CS, the peak viscosity, breakdown viscosity, setback viscosity and gel enthalpy of MC-Lys were decreased, while the relative crystallinity was increased. Scanning electron microscopy observation showed that corn starch aggregated with each other and was coated by lysine after MC, the particle size distribution range became wider, and the specific surface area decreased. The results showed that the interaction of starch with lysine in the microwave field increased the ordered and aggregated structure of corn starch, resulting in a significant change in the physicochemical properties and digestibility of corn starch. MC-Lys can be added to foods as a nutritional fortification to meet the needs of specific populations for lysine and low carbohydrate.
