Abstract
The tiger nut (Cyperus esculentus L.) is an ideal raw material for oil extraction, but the starch-rich tiger nut meal, a by-product of oil extraction, has not been fully utilized. For this, starch was isolated from the tiger nut meal, then starch nanoparticles were prepared by gelatinization, ultrasonication and nanoprecipitation under different conditions. The preparation parameters were optimized by measuring the particle size with dynamic light scattering, and the physicochemical properties of native starch and nano starch were evaluated. The result showed that, compared to native starch, starch nanoparticle (nano starch) has a higher amylose content (39.05%), solubility (56.13%), and swelling power (58.01%). Furthermore, native starch and nano starch were esterified with octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) respectively, conferring them amphiphilic properties. The effects of OSA modification on the resistant starch content, thermal properties, and microstructure of starches were characterized. The resistant starch content of tiger nut native starch increased by 10.81% after OSA modification, while the resistant starch content of OSA nano starch increased to 37.76%. Compared to native starch, gelatinization temperature of OSA nano starch decreased by 2.7 ℃ and nano starch decreased 5.68 ℃. Thereinto, OSA modified nano starch showed a unique microstructure, as a slender fiber structure and a regular oblate. The hydrophobic OSA groups aggregated to form hydrophobic cavities with a hydrophilic surface in the aqueous phase. The findings presented in this investigation would give a better understanding of the design and development of OSA nano starch and provide valuable guidance to further enhance the added value of tiger nuts and future applications in the food industry.
期刊介绍:
Food quality and safety are the main targets of investigation in food production. Therefore, reliable paths to detect, identify, quantify, characterize and monitor quality and safety issues occurring in food are of great interest.
Food Quality and Safety is an open access, international, peer-reviewed journal providing a platform to highlight emerging and innovative science and technology in the agro-food field, publishing up-to-date research in the areas of food quality and safety, food nutrition and human health. It promotes food and health equity which will consequently promote public health and combat diseases.
The journal is an effective channel of communication between food scientists, nutritionists, public health professionals, food producers, food marketers, policy makers, governmental and non-governmental agencies, and others concerned with the food safety, nutrition and public health dimensions.
The journal accepts original research articles, review papers, technical reports, case studies, conference reports, and book reviews articles.
