Abstract
Ultra-high pressure (UHP) is an emerging green non-thermal technology that can modify macromolecules like starch, altering its structure and properties. Using oat starch as the raw material and adding 0–15 % oat lipids, starch-lipid complexes were prepared by treatment at 0–500 MPa. This study investigated how UHP-induced complexation between oat lipids and starch affects the microstructure and physicochemical properties of oat starch. The results showed that at 400–500 MPa, lipids promote the formation of starch granules into network-like aggregates or large clusters, reducing relative crystallinity and short-range molecular order. The crystal structure type transitions from type A to type V, while increasing the double helix structure of starch molecules. These structural changes significantly influenced the gel texture properties of starch, enhancing its thermal stability and freeze-thaw stability. Furthermore, the formation of oat starch-lipid complexes via hydrogen bonding under UHP treatment delayed the gelatinization of oat starch and inhibited its retrogradation.
期刊介绍:
Food Chemistry: X, one of three Open Access companion journals to Food Chemistry, follows the same aims, scope, and peer-review process. It focuses on papers advancing food and biochemistry or analytical methods, prioritizing research novelty. Manuscript evaluation considers novelty, scientific rigor, field advancement, and reader interest. Excluded are studies on food molecular sciences or disease cure/prevention. Topics include food component chemistry, bioactives, processing effects, additives, contaminants, and analytical methods. The journal welcome Analytical Papers addressing food microbiology, sensory aspects, and more, emphasizing new methods with robust validation and applicability to diverse foods or regions.
