AbstractDried powder from Moringa oleifera L. leaves (MOLP) could be considered a promising naturally gluten-free (GF) ingredient to be added in the formulation of GF food products aiming to improve the overall nutritional characteristics. In this work, GF biscuits were formulated by replacing a commercial GF flour mix with 0, 5, 10, and 15 g/100 g of MOLP. Chemical composition, physical and textural characteristics, starch pasting properties, and the in vitro starch digestibility were considered. Adding MOLP increased the amount of protein and total dietary fibre. Even at the lowest MOLP-substitution level, the biscuits had a total dietary fibre content > 6 g/100 g dry matter. Differences in the chemical composition might account for differences in starch properties in terms of pasting behaviour and in vitro digestibility. Using MOLP decreased the in vitro starch hydrolysis index of biscuits, the lowest value (69.3) obtained at the greatest MOLP inclusion level. In addition, an increase in the resistant starch content was reported, passing from 1.1 to 2.7 g/100 g dry matter for GF biscuits containing 0 to 15 g/100 g of MOLP. Colour, spread ratio, and hardness were affected by MOLP inclusion. Biscuits containing 15 g/100 g of MOLP were characterized by the highest hardness value (41.9 N). Substitution level of 10 g/100 g should be considered the threshold level for obtaining a product with similar spread ratio than the control.

Modified starches have been widely used as an excipient in matrix tablets to control drug release. A new processing method for the production of modified starch, high power ultrasonic treatment (400 W), was applied to native tapioca starch. The spray drying technique was used after modification (i.e., by ultrasonic or heat treatment). Matrix tablets were then prepared by direct compression using theophylline as a model drug. The effect of starch modification on swelling, erosion and in vitro drug release behaviors of compressed matrices was investigated in 0.1 N HCl or phosphate buffer (pH 6.8). The matrix tablets of modified tapioca starch formed a continuous gel layer while in contact with the aqueous medium undergoing a combination of swelling and erosion. The ultrasound-treated starch swelled and eroded less than the native starch and heat-treated starch, thus the drug release from matrix tablets using ultrasound-treated starch was slower. For these results, it can be concluded that the ultrasound-treated starch was a promising excipient for controlled drug release.

In this study, Chinese yam starch-water suspension (8%) were subjected to high-pressure homogenization (HPH) at 100 MPa for increasing cycle numbers, and its effect of on the physicochemical properties of the starch was investigated. Results of the polarizing microscope observations showed that the starch granules were disrupted (i.e. greater breakdown value) after HPH treatment, followed by a decrease in cross polarization. After three HPH cycles, the crystallinity of starch decreased, while the crystal type remained unaltered. Meanwhile, the contents of rapidly digestible starch and slowly digestible starch were increased. On the contrary, resistant starch content was decreased. Our results indicate that HPH treatment resulted in reduction of starch crystallinity and increase of starch digestibility.
