High-pressure homogenization induced thinning of potato and cassava starch paste was investigated. The starch slurries at a concentration of 2.0 wt.% were heated at 90 degrees C for 1 h and then rapidly cooled in tap water. The cooled starch pastes were homogenized at various pressures ranging from 0 to 100 MPa using a lab-scale high-pressure homogenizer. The influence of homogenizing pressure on the temperature, apparent viscosity, electrical conductivity, and percent light transmittance of homogenized starch pastes were determined. Temperatures of homogenized starch pastes increased linearly with the increase of the applied pressure, and the rate was 0.177 degrees C/MPa and 0.186 degrees C/MPa for potato and cassava starch pastes, respectively. After high-pressure homogenization, the apparent viscosities of the starch pastes decreased, while the percent light transmittances of them increased. However, the electrical conductivities of starch pastes were not affected by homogenization.

Influences of Microemulsion Cross-linking Reaction and Ball-milling on Particle Size Characteristics of Potato and Maize Starches

In this study, microemulsion cross-linking treatment was used on food grade potato and maize starches for preparing micro starch particles. Laser diffraction technique was introduced to measure the particle size characteristics, including the median particle diameter (d (50)), surface area mean diameter D [3, 2], volume mean diameter D [4, 3] and specific surface area of micro potato and maize starch particles. The volume distributions and number distributions were also analyzed using Mastersizer 2000 Softw...
Shear-thickening properties of waxy maize starch dispersions

The influences of starch concentration and test conditions on the shear-thickening behavior of waxy maize starch (WMS) dispersions were investigated. During steady shear tests, both the concentration of WMS and test temperature influenced the shear thickening behavior of the WMS dispersions significantly. The critical shear rate for shear thickening was increased with the increasing of temperature and the decreasing of WMS concentration. No effect of gap size on the shear thickening of the WMS dispersions w...
Anti-thixotropic properties of waxy maize starch dispersions with different pasting conditions
Wang, Bao; Li, Dong; Wang, Li-Jun; Özkan, Necati (2010-03-17)
The effects of pasting conditions, testing temperature, and shear rate on the anti-thixotropy of waxy maize starch (WMS) dispersions were investigated in this study. Activation energy and viscoelastic properties of the WMS dispersions were also determined to understand the anti-thixotropy of these dispersions. The WMS dispersions (5.0 wt.%) displayed both thixotropic and anti-thixotropic properties in loop and shear recovery tests, depending on pasting conditions and testing temperature. The standard anti-t...
Modification of Quinoa Starch by High Hydrostatic Pressure and Ultrasonication and Assessment of Its Physicochemical Properties
Unal, Kubra; Alpas, Hami; Öztop, Halil Mecit (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 spe...

The enzymic hydrolysis of commercial wheat starch and freshly prepared wheat starch fractions was studied in batch and flow systems. Fresh starch was prepared by wet separation of wheat flour into starch milk and gluten, followed by processing the starch milk using a serially connected hydrocyclone system to produce underflow and overflow streams. The underflow stream consisted mainly of the larger (> 30 w m) granules, while the overflow stream contained only the smaller (< 10 w m) granules. In batch system...
