Abstract
The set aim of present work was to investigate the effects of acetylation, oxidation and heat moisture treatment on physicochemical, pasting, gel texture, structural, thermal and morphological properties of common buckwheat starch. Swelling power and solubility of starches reduced after modification except acetylation. Color of buckwheat starch improved after oxidation and acetylation. Paste clarity increased while syneresis reduced following modification with the exception of oxidation. Pasting properties of buckwheat starch revealed increased peak viscosity and breakdown viscosity following modification treatments. Gel texture analysis depicted increased hardness and reduced springiness, chewiness and cohesiveness for modified starches of buckwheat. Diffractograms of starches showed variation in intensity of some bands. Heat moisture treatment increased agglomeration and oxidation caused slight depression on surface of some granules. Relative crystallinity reduced following oxidation and hydrothermal treatment of starch. The gelatinization temperatures were increased in hydrothermal treated starch samples while oxidation and acetylation reduced the gelatinization temperature. The findings of this work would favor the new applications of modified starch from common buckwheat.
