This study aimed to determine the effect of “annealing” acetylated potato starch with a homogenous granule size and various degrees of substitution on the thermal pasting characteristics (DSC), resistance to amylases, rheology of the prepared pastes, swelling power and dynamics of drug release. A fraction of large granules was separated from native starch with the sedimentation method and acetylated with various doses of acetic anhydride (6.5, 13.0 or 26.0 26 cm3/100 g starch). The starch acetates were then annealed at slightly lower temperatures than their pasting temperatures. The annealing process caused an almost twofold increase in the resistance to amylolysis and a threefold increase in the swelling power of the modified starch preparations. The heat of phase transition decreased almost two times and the range of starch pasting temperatures over two times, but the pasting temperature itself increased by ca. 10 °C. The 40 g/100 g addition of the modified starch preparation decreased the rate of drug release from a hydrogel by ca. one-fourth compared to the control sample.

Abstract Pupuru and pupuru analogues are fermented, smoked food products usually produced from cassava or cassava substituted with a varying ratio of breadfruit. This study aims at determining and comparing the functional and pasting characteristics of pupuru and pupuru analogues with a view to expanding the utilization of breadfruit as pupuru analogue. The functional properties (water absorption capacity (%), swelling power (g/g), solubility (%)) and pasting characteristics were determined using standard methods. The results showed that the yield of the products ranged between 24.66 and 29.65%, and it was not affected by the amount of breadfruit substituted. The water absorption capacities of the pupuru and pupuru analogues ranged between 216.0 and 449.0%; this parameter increased with temperature increase. Both swelling power and solubility had a rapid increase from 80 °C to 90 °C. Pasting temperature ranged between 73.15 and 83.66 °C, with peak time between 4.58 and 5.33 min. The final viscosity ranged between 94.08 and 391.83 RVU, and it decreased with increase in breadfruit substitution. The study concluded that adding breadfruit to cassava in pupuru analogue production improved some of the functional and pasting properties of the product.

Nowadays, starch is widely used in the food industry as an additive that can improve product quality due to its characteristics. Starch can have a significant effect on the texture of a food product, and works as a thickener, stabilizer, filler and ingredient that locks in moisture well. Different types of starch are used in production, depending on the purpose of their application. Starch properties mainly depend on its physical and chemical characteristics, amylose/amylopectin ratio, and also on the average granule size and percentage ratio of different granule size groups. Currently, the innovation approaches with the use of so-called "green technologies" have been the priorities of food industry development not only in Russia but also all over the world. This paper deals with the possibility of producing modified starches using ultrasonic exposure methods. It was found that the properties of the modified starch suspensions undergo significant changes when exposed to low-frequency ultrasound. In particular, the temperature of starch gelatinization decreases by an average of 17° C, the output of amylose from the starch grain increases by 2.8–3.5 times relative to the native starch. The size of particles in the starch suspensions varies. On the basis of the carried out research it has been established that increase of ultrasonic exposure duration leads to equalizing of particle sizes. The native sample has no particles less than 400 nm in size but there are particles larger than 3,000 nm, while the size of particles exposed to ultrasound (630 W, 10 min) is mostly (426 ± 10) nm (35.5%) and (678 ± 5) nm (24.8%). Thus, the use of ultrasound for starch modification makes it possible to produce a substance with new properties and this significantly expands the possibility of using modified starch in the food industry.)

The aim of the study was to assess the influence of replacing wheat flour with hazelnuts or walnuts, in various amounts, on the thermal and rheological properties of the obtained systems. The research material were systems in which wheat flour was replaced with ground hazelnuts (H) or walnuts (W) in the amount of 5%, 10%, and 15%. The parameters of the thermodynamic gelatinization characteristics were determined by the differential scanning calorimetry method. In addition, the pasting characteristics were determined with the use of a viscosity analyzer and the viscoelastic properties were assessed. Sweep frequency and creep and recovery tests were used to assess the viscoelastic properties of the tested gels. It was found that replacing wheat flour with nuts increased the values of gelatinization temperature, gelatinization, and retrogradation enthalpy, and the degree of retrogradation. The highest viscosity was characteristic of the control sample (2039 mPa·s), and the lowest for the paste with 15% addition of walnuts (1120 mPa·s). Replacing the flour with nuts resulted in a very visible reduction in the viscosity of such systems. In addition, gels based on the systems with the addition of H and W were weak gels (tan δ = G″/G′ > 0.1), and the values of G′ and G″ parameters decreased with the increased share of nuts in the systems. Creep and recovery analysis indicated that the systems in which wheat flour was replaced with hazelnuts were less susceptible to deformation compared to the systems with the addition of W.

Objective: The objective of the present study was to chemical modification, characterization and evaluation of mucoadhesive potentiality of Assam bora rice starch as potential excipients in the sustained release drug delivery system. Methods: The starch was isolated from Assam bora rice and esterified using thioglycolic acid and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The 10% w/v gel formulation based on modified bora rice starch loaded with irinotecan (0.6%) was prepared and evaluated for various rheological properties, ex-vivo mucoadhesion using goat intestine and in vitro drug release study in phosphate buffer pH 6.8.Results: The chemical modification was confirmed by FT-IR and NMR studies with the presence of the peak at 2626.74 cm-1 and a singlet at 2.51 respectively due to–SH group. Ex-vivo mucoadhesion studies showed 6.6 fold increases in mucoadhesion of the modified starch with compared to native starch (46.3±6.79g for native starch; 308.7±95.31g for modified starch). In vitro study showed 89.12±0.84 % of drug release after 6 h in phosphate buffer pH 6.8 and the release kinetics followed Non-Fickian diffusion.Conclusion: The modified Assam bora rice starch enhanced a mucoadhesive property of the native starch and thus, can be explored in future as a potential excipient for the sustained release mucoadhesive drug delivery system.

The effects of annealing on the properties of unfermented (polvilho doce-PD) and fermented (polvilho azedo-PAD) cassava starches were studied. The samples were submitted to annealing treatment for 24, 72, 96, 144, 192 and 240 hours. The annealing treatment changed the main physicochemical (gelatinization, enthalpy and temperature) and rheological properties (swelling power, peak viscosity and pasting temperature) of the both samples. The increase in the gelatinization temperatures and the narrowing of the gelatinization range was attributed to an reinforcement in the packing of the double helices of the amylopectin. The PAD samples seemed to be more affected by this treatment than PD ones. The PAD samples presented some characteristics of a waxy starch, such as increased crystallinity and increased stability of the pastes, which from a technological point of view is very important to diversify further its use in the food industry.

The aim of this paper was to investigate the influence of dietary fibers from oat (OF) and apple (AF) (concentration 0.2%) on the pasting properties, rheological (including thixotropic and anti-thixotropic) and textural properties of 3% and 4% (w/w) waxy potato starch pastes. The samples were characterized by their pasting characteristics, the hysteresis loop test, and textural properties measured during storage. It was found that the breakdown viscosity values of the blends, including oat fibers, were lower than those of the others (waxy potato starch (WPS), WPS-AF), which suggests that these samples would have higher resistance to retrogradation and therefore would form a more stable paste. The pattern of flow curves showed that the investigated waxy potato starch and starch-fiber pastes were non-Newtonian fluids, thinned by shear. Areas of the hysteresis loops indicated that pastes with fibers had anti-thixotropic or mixed thixotropic/anti-thixotropic character. The greatest areas of the anti-thixotropy hysteresis loops were characteristic for WPS, while its mixtures with AF and OF caused a decrease in the value of these areas. It can indicate that starch-fiber blends were more stable during shearing. Fiber-type and starch concentration strongly affected the textural parameters of the starch-fiber gels.

Starches from different sources present unknown potential for new technological applications mainly when modifications are considered. In this study, jackfruit seed starch was treated in 6% hydrochloric acid in the presence of methanol and ethanol at 40°C for 2 hour and at ancohol/starch ratio of 4/1. Granule size, granular structure and solubility of the modified starch were investigated. Results showed that the average granule size of the starch ranged from 9.22μm to 14.03 μm (in methanol) and 11.86 μm (in ethanol), some changes in the solubility and the granular morphology by scanning electron microscope (SEM) were observed. Acid-modified jackfruit seed starch can have applications in pharmaceutical, food and confectionary industries.

The purpose of this study is to reveal the mechanism of preparing high quality modified starch by ultrasonic technology. In this paper, ultrasonic modified starch and octenyl succinic anhydride modified starch with low degree of substitution were prepared under ultrasonic conditions, using sweet potato starch as raw material. The effects of ultrasound on the structure and properties of native sweet potato starch were studied to see whether ultrasound could produce mechanochemical effect on starch. Then the mechanism of ultrasonic effect on quality of octenyl succinic anhydride modified starch was studied by mechanochemical effect. The results showed that after ultrasonic treatment for 1 min, the crystallinity decreased from 37.6 to 33.8% and reaction efficiency increased from 49.43 to 54.39%, while after ultrasonic treatments for 8 and 32–60 min had different changes. These changes showed that ultrasonic treatment produced significant mechanochemical effect on native sweet potato starch. Ultrasound significantly improved the quality of octenyl succinic anhydride modified starch, and its influence mechanism was revealed using the theory of mechanochemistry. This study provides a feasible method for the research of high quality modified starch and lays a theoretical foundation for expanding the application of ultrasound in various fields.
