Abstract
In this study, mung starch with different degrees of Octenylsuccinic anhydride (OSA) modification (4 %, degree of substitution is 0.008; 8 %, degree of substitution is 0.012) was compounded with lecithin in different additions (0 %, 1 %, 3 %, and 6 %) by Rapid Viscosity Analyzer (RVA), freeze-dried, powered, and sieved for the preparation of oleogels. The effect of modification on the complexes and the differences between different formulations of oleogels were investigated. The results showed that OSA esterification conferred starch amphiphilicity through covalent bonding between hydrophilic hydroxyl and lipophilic anhydride portions, and thermal shear treatment in RVA disrupted the structure of starch granules to encapsulate lecithin in the lumen of amylose to form a V-type complex, which optimized the dispersion of lecithin and resulted in lyophilized product scaffolds with uniform porosity (SEM). These microporous matrices solidify the oil droplets on their framework through capillary action and reduction of interfacial tension, ultimately producing an oleogel with excellent stability. This study contributes to a better understanding of the effect of esterification modification on starch-lecithin complexes, thus broadening the application of starch and providing new ideas for producing oleogel products with alternative solid fat properties.
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.
