Modification of Quinoa Starch by High Hydrostatic Pressure and Ultrasonication and Assessment of Its Physicochemical Properties

2023-01-20
Quinoa starch was extracted and treated with different technologies to modify its properties. High hydrostatic pressure (HHP) at 250, 350, and 500 MPa at 20 and 40 °C and ultrasonication at 100% power with a constant pulse for 15 min were applied as modification methods. Following the treatments, functional, rheological, morphological, and structural analyses were carried out. Time domain (TD) NMR relaxometry experiments confirmed that HHP treatment caused less granule swelling of starch. NMR relaxation spectra of quinoa starch revealed mainly two distinct proton populations. Results have demonstrated that HHP treatment had a strong modification effect on quinoa starch compared to US and provided a new type of modified quinoa starch that can be used as an instant food product and thickening agent with the feature of retaining the granular shape and reducing swelling. The results were also confirmed by FTIR, XRD, SEM, and DSC analyses.

Preparation and characterization of thermally stable phosphonium organoclays and their use in poly(ethylene terephthalate) nanocomposites
Abdallah, Wissam; Yılmazer, Ülkü (Wiley, 2013-06-15)
Purification of montmorillonite rich bentonite followed by surface modification using organic salts was performed. The bentonite was purified by sedimentation and then surface modified by ion exchange using alkyl- and aryl-based phosphonium salts. The thermal stability, morphology, melt flow, and mechanical properties of the poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) nanocomposites prepared with these organoclays were studied with and without using a reactive elastomeric compatibilizer. TEM results showed that the ...

The preparation and characterization of a novel solid-phase microextraction fiber is reported with application to the determination of pesticides in fruit juice. The fiber was fabricated by electrochemically coating a stainless steel wire with a thin polymeric film of 4-(2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrol-1-yl) benzenamine. The procedure was initiated in 10mL of acetonitrile containing 5.5mg of monomer, 0.1mol NaClO4, and 0.1mol LiClO4 by cycling the potential between -0.5 and 1.2V with a scan rate of 100mV/se...

Çuhadar, Çiğdem; Yücel, Hayrettin; Department of Chemical Engineering (2005)
In this study, the pore structures and surface areas of activated carbons produced from hazelnut shell and hazelnut husk by chemical activation technique using phosphoric acid (H3PO4), at relatively low temperatures (300, 400 and 500oC), were investigated. Raw materials were impregnated with different H3PO4 solutions of 30%, 40%, 50% and 60% by weight. To produce activated carbon, acid impregnated samples were heated; at a heating rate of 20 oC/min to the final carbonization temperature and held at that tem...
