Abstract
Alkylresorcinols (ARs) are a group of bioactive phenolic lipids and mostly concentrated in the bran of whole grains. In this study, the influences of alkyl chain length of ARs and V-amylose structure on the stability of V-amylose-ARs inclusion complexes were characterized. On the one hand, X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and in vitro digestion studies of complexes showed that the crystallinity, thermo-stability, and digestion resistance of V-amylose-ARs inclusion complexes increased with increasing alkyl chain length of ARs. On the other hand, V6-amylose-ARs inclusion complexes displayed the strongest thermostability, the highest crystallinity, and the lowest digestibility compared to V7-amylose-ARs inclusion complexes and V8-amylose-ARs inclusion complexes. It could be concluded that both the helical structure of hydrated V6-amylose and ARs with longer alkyl chain stabilized the structure and stability of the inclusion complexes. This work could pave a way to develop bioactive cereal foods with high bioaccessibility of ARs.
