ABSTRACT
V-type granular starches (VGSs) were prepared via an ethanol-alkaline (EA) method using maize starch with different amylose contents, specifically, high amylose (HAM), normal maize starch (MS), and waxy maize starch (WS). The X-ray diffraction pattern of the native starch was completely transformed into a V-type pattern after the EA treatment, indicating a structural change in the starch granules. The VGSs prepared by HAM had highest relative crystallinity (31.8°), while the VGSs prepared by WS showed amorphous diffraction pattern. Excessive NaOH, however, would disrupt the formation of V-type structures and cause granular shape rupture. The quantity of double-helical structures, particularly those formed by amylopectin at the starch granules' periphery, significantly decreased. Conversely, single-helical structures formed by amylose increased. A notable rise in the relative crystallinity of V crystals. Four VGS samples, characterized by granular integrity, were chosen for the next investigation of physicochemical and digestive properties. VGS prepared from HAM exhibited higher granular integrity, lower cold-water swelling extent (59.0 and 161.0â¯cP), improved thermal stability (the value of breakdown as lower as 57.67 and 186.67â¯cP), and higher resistance to digestion (RS content was up to 10.38â¯% and 9.00â¯% higher than 5.86â¯% and 5.66â¯% of VGS prepared from WS and MS). The results confirmed that amylose content has a substantial impact on the microstructural and physicochemical properties of VGSs.
