Abstract
Short-chain glucan (SCG) recrystallization has emerged as an effective approach for producing resistant starch microparticle (RSP), which hold promise in both food science and clinical nutrition. This study introduces a novel method utilizing Tween 80 (TW80) to mediate the interfacial recrystallization of SCG into A-type crystalline RSP (ARSP) through acetone precipitation. TW80 plays a crucial role by stabilizing water-in-oil microemulsion droplets within acetone-oil mixtures, facilitating the formation of uniform and spherical ARSP ranging in size from 0.2 μm to 2 μm. The surface characteristics of ARSP, including porosity and smoothness, are notably influenced by SCG concentration. As SCG concentration increases, the melting temperature of ARSP rises from 117 °C to 145 °C, accompanied by a decrease in average surface area from 12.07 to 8.35 m2/g, alongside an increase in crystallinity. Moreover, the in vitro digestion test revealed that the digestion rate of ARSP was decreased from 0.73 h−1 to 0.39 h−1 with increasing SCG concentration, while increasing the resistant starch (RS) content in ARSP from 48.6% to 70.5%. This enhancement offers a strategic approach for modulating the digestion rate of ARSP, presenting opportunities for tailored release profiles and improved stability in food science applications. These findings underscore the potential of ARSP as a functional ingredient with significant implications for nutritional and clinical settings.
期刊介绍:
Food Hydrocolloids publishes original and innovative research focused on the characterization, functional properties, and applications of hydrocolloid materials used in food products. These hydrocolloids, defined as polysaccharides and proteins of commercial importance, are added to control aspects such as texture, stability, rheology, and sensory properties. The research's primary emphasis should be on the hydrocolloids themselves, with thorough descriptions of their source, nature, and physicochemical characteristics. Manuscripts are expected to clearly outline specific aims and objectives, include a fundamental discussion of research findings at the molecular level, and address the significance of the results. Studies on hydrocolloids in complex formulations should concentrate on their overall properties and mechanisms of action, while simple formulation development studies may not be considered for publication.
The main areas of interest are:
-Chemical and physicochemical characterisation
Thermal properties including glass transitions and conformational changes-
Rheological properties including viscosity, viscoelastic properties and gelation behaviour-
The influence on organoleptic properties-
Interfacial properties including stabilisation of dispersions, emulsions and foams-
Film forming properties with application to edible films and active packaging-
Encapsulation and controlled release of active compounds-
The influence on health including their role as dietary fibre-
Manipulation of hydrocolloid structure and functionality through chemical, biochemical and physical processes-
New hydrocolloids and hydrocolloid sources of commercial potential.
The Journal also publishes Review articles that provide an overview of the latest developments in topics of specific interest to researchers in this field of activity.
