Background: The impact of cassava starch (CS), carboxymethyl starch (CMS), and hydroxypropyl starch (HS) on the protein structure and physicochemical properties of extruded products was investigated with soybean protein-wheat gluten as the primary raw material. The quality improvement effect of starch addition on the extruded products was elucidated.
Results: The quality of extruded products was controlled by the type and content of starch. It was shown that the secondary structure of the protein changed to the ordered β-sheet structure, which was conducive to the increase of the hardness and chewiness of the extruded products by adding 2-6% starch, by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analysis. However, protein aggregation and crosslinking were destroyed by adding 10% starch, and the internal cavity of extruded products became larger, resulting in poor formability and quality of extruded products, with the increase of starch content. The extruded products showed the largest energy storage modulus and could form more hydrogen bonds to maintain protein structure stability with 6% CMS. The addition of 6% HS led to an enhancement of hydrophobic interaction and an increase in energy storage modulus. This promoted protein molecule aggregation, significantly improving the extruded product's quality.

SCI (Society of Chemical Industry) is a unique international forum where science meets business on independent, impartial ground. Anyone can join and current Members include consumers, business people, environmentalists, industrialists, farmers, and researchers. The Society offers a chance to share information between sectors as diverse as food and agriculture, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, materials, chemicals, environmental science and safety. As well as organising educational events, SCI awards a number of prestigious honours and scholarships each year, publishes peer-reviewed journals, and provides Members with news from their sectors in the respected magazine, Chemistry & Industry .
Originally established in London in 1881 and in New York in 1894, SCI is a registered charity with Members in over 70 countries.
