Abstract
Low-moisture extrusion (LME) can modify starch structures and enrich their functionality. These LME-made starches may efficiently form inclusion complexes (ICs) with hydrophobic guest molecules, which is profoundly impacted by the guest molecule concentration. In this work, the influence of glycerin monostearin (GMS) concentration on the structure and in vitro digestibility of pre-extruded starch-GMS complexes was investigated. The results showed that LME pretreatment increased the complex index of high-amylose starch with GMS by 13 %. The appropriate GMS concentrations produced ICs with high crystallinity and excellent thermostability. The presence of IC retarded amylose retrogradation and dominated bound water in starches. In addition, highly crystallized ICs were resistant to enzymolysis and had a higher proportion of resistant starch. The acquired knowledge would provide a better understanding of the LME-modified starch and GMS concentration-regulated IC formation.
