Abstract
Polyphenols are known to undergo thermal degradation and their bioactivity is reduced. In this study, the thermal degradation of polyphenols was modulated by the complexation between polyphenols and high amylose corn starch (HACS). The inclusion complex between ferulic acid with hydrophobic group methoxy and HACS had the highest encapsulation efficiency (EE = 26.15 %), loading efficiency (LE = 2.38 %) and thermal stability (DPPH radical scavenging activity was reduced by only 5.99 % after baking). After complexing with HACS, protocatechuic acid with ortho-position hydroxyl group had a higher encapsulation rate and thermal stability than 3, 5-dihydroxybenzoic acid with meta-position hydroxyl. In addition, soy isoflavone with the higher logarithmic value of octanol-water partition coefficient (Log P = 3.66) resulted in higher encapsulation rate and thermal stability than naringenin (Log P = 2.11). The results suggest that the complexation between polyphenols and starch protects the bioactivity of polyphenols and improves the processing suitability of polyphenols.
