Biscuits are a popular staple food due to its variety of taste, crispiness and digestibility. Conventional biscuits are rich in carbohydrates, fats and calories but low in dietary fibre (DF), minerals and vitamins. Unripe banana contains high resistant starch (RS) which is beneficial for colon health and helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. This study was conducted to determine the feasibility of substituting wheat flour (WF) with unripe Saba banana flour (USBF) to produce biscuits with sensory acceptance and characterising its physicochemical properties. A total of nine (9) formulations were developed by incorporating WF with USBF (10-90%). These formulations were tested for sensory acceptance with the best formulation then proceeded for physicochemical analysis. Sample F5 (50% USBF and 50% WF) was chosen as the best formulation and compared with the control biscuit (100% WF) for physicochemical characteristics. The comparison results showed that F5 biscuit had significant increment (p<0.05) in ash (5.72%), RS (6.17%) and DF (6.26%) as well as significant reduction (p<0.05) in moisture (2.78%) and protein (5.41%). In terms of texture, the hardness (883.33 g) of F5 biscuit was significantly reduced (p<0.05). F5 Biscuits showed significant increase (p<0.05) in RS and exhibited a good source of DF without diminishing its sensory acceptability.

This study investigated the structural and physicochemical characteristics of malic acid-treated sweet potato starch. Sweet potato starch mixed with various concentrations of malic acid solution underwent either thermal or nonthermal treatment. Observation of samples under a light microscope ensured the maintenance of granular shape and the Maltese cross. FT-IR spectra displayed a distinct carbonyl peak at 1722 cm−1, and analysis of the degree of substitution (DS) indicated an increase in the extent of ester bonds with increasing concentrations of malic acid. The DS of 2.0M-130 (0.214) was the highest and that of 0.5M-130 was the lowest (0.088) among the reacted starches. In vitro digestion test revealed an increased amount of resistant starch when a high concentration of malic acid was used. In addition, thermally treated samples maintained a higher content of resistant starch (RS) after 30 min of cooking at 100°C. After cooking, 2.0M-130 had an RS fraction of 53.4% which was reduced to 49.9% after cooking, revealing greater heat stability compared with nonthermally treated samples. The structure of malic acid-treated starch was investigated using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), an X-ray diffractometer, a rapid visco analyzer (RVA), and analysis of apparent amylose content. The results showed that thermal and malic acid treatment of starch caused not only partial hydrolysis but also rearrangement of the crystalline area and helix structure of starch by esterification. Analysis of malic acid-treated starch, using a rapid visco analyzer showed no pasting properties, due to lack of its swelling caused by the malic acid cross link.

As a source of starch, potato remains unexploited in Brazilian industries, where they typically utilize corn and cassava. Considering the emerging need for using potato as a source of commercial starch, this study evaluated starches extracted from seven cultivars of potatoes with limited commercial usage in Brazil. Potatoes were grown under the same environmental conditions and cultural practices. After harvesting, the potato tubers were processed for the extraction of starch. The proximate composition, amylose content, resistant starch, minerals, as well as pasting and thermal properties of extracted starch samples were analyzed. Starch characteristics varied with the cultivar. Using correlation analysis, we demonstrated that minerals have a robust effect on starch characteristics. Moreover, positive correlations were observed between phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, resistant starch, viscosity peak, breakdown, and gelatinization enthalpy. Calcium had a positive correlation with the amylose content and the percentage of starch retrogradation. Starch samples showed important differences in their physicochemical properties, which are advantageous for industrial applications allowing a larger diversification and incentive to the production of potato for industry in Brazil.

This study investigated the effects of annealing, autoclaving-cooling and heat moisture treatment on the microstructure and physicochemical characteristics of taro starch. The taro starch was treated by the annealing process (24 hrs, 50oC), the heat moisture treatment (HMT) (moisture 25%, 3 hrs, 110oC), and the autoclaving (15 mins, 121oC) - cooling (24 hrs, 4oC) with 1 and 2 cycles. The results show that the autoclaving-cooling 2 cycles (AC-2C) changed the microstructure of taro starch into a very compact and dense structure because of formed double helix bound that cannot be hydrolyzed by pancreatic enzymes so it can be converted became resistant starch as the prebiotic source. Pasting properties analysis showed that AC-2C improved shear stress resistance, heat resistance and low retrogradation modified taro starch (MTS). The AC-2C treatment increased water binding capacity (73.84%), solubility (44.58%), and swelling power (16.71%) of MTS. The water-binding capacity had a positive correlation with solubility and swelling power. The AC-2C treatment increased amylose content (27.40%) and decreased reducing sugar level (6.36%) of MTS, so it can encourage the formation of resistant starch to improve the prebiotic properties of taro starch. Modified taro starch AC-2C is the best compared to HMT and annealing based on microstructure and physicochemical characteristics.

The objective of the research was to investigate the physicochemical characteristics of Tarap fruit starch. In this study, young Tarap fruit starch was extracted and the percentage of total starch, resistant starch, amylose and amylopectin were determined. Scanning electron microscope was used to evaluate the morphological features of the starch granule. Swelling, pasting, gelatinization, retrogradation and in vitro digestibility were also investigated. A total of 17.85% starch was successfully extracted from unripe Tarap fruit, whereas the amount of total starch and resistant starch were 89.14% and 47.82%, respectively. The amounts of rapid digestible starch and slowly digestible starch were 6.58% and 23.25%, respectively. Results found that the amylopectin content was higher than amylose (77.15% and 11.97%). The starch granules were round and polygon in shapes with smooth surfaces. The average of starch granules size was range from 6.50 to 8.30 μm with 7.4 μm of mean granule diameter. Pasting properties showed that peak viscosity was observed at about 6.5 min at 73.5oC. Tarap starch gelatinization temperatures (onset, 71.63°C; peak, 74.56°C; conclusion, 78.24°C) and enthalpy of gelatinization (ΔHgel) (3.74 J/g) were higher while the retrograded starches show lower retrogradation temperature and enthalpy than native starches. Unripe Tarap starch showed good potential to be utilized as adhesives and thickener for industrial applications.
