Abstract
Corn starch was gelatinized by high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) and spray drying to make amorphous granular starch (AGS), and their physicochemical properties were compared with the conventionally prepared (heat-gelatinized and spray dried) AGS to devise a novel AGS preparation methodology. Pressure-induced (PAGS) and heat-induced AGS (HAGS) maintained their granular shape but lost their birefringence indicating that both methods could prepare AGS. DSC (differential scanning calorimeter) and XRD (X-ray diffraction) analysis confirmed the complete loss of amylopectin double helices and crystallinity of both PAGS and HAGS. However, their swelling power, solubility, RVA pasting properties, acid/shear stability, gel forming ability and textural properties were completely different. PAGS exhibited constrained swelling, suppressed amylose leaching, and reduced viscosity. Notably, HAGS formed a gel without heating, whereas PAGS yielded a viscous paste with water-soluble attributes. Even after reheating, PAGS maintained its granular structure with comparably less swelling and weaker gel strength than HAGS. Consequently, newly developed PAGS exhibited distinctive characteristics compared to the conventional HAGS, such as lower solubility and swelling power, viscosity, textural properties, and high acid and shear stabilities, rendering it a viable option for various applications within the food industry.
