Abstract
Physicochemical properties of pressure moisture treated (PMT, 550 MPa, 10 min) and heat moisture treated (HMT, 100 °C, 10 h) starches were investigated. Effects of PMT and HMT were different depending on starch type. PMT starches showed dramatic changes in moisture sorption isotherm, pasting properties, thermal characteristics, solubility and swelling power (at 90 °C), and in vitro digestibility. The most dramatic difference between PMT and HMT starches was amylopectin melting transition, i.e., broadening in PMT and shift to high temperature in HMT starches. Moreover, B- and C-type starches revealed the more increase in amylopectin melting enthalpy than A-type starch. Both PMT and HMT did not increase the crystallinity but reorganized the amorphous area to compact, resulting in lower rapidly digestible starch and higher slowly digestible starch than those of native starches. Consequently, PMT changed the digestibility and physicochemical properties of starches with different modes of action compared with HMT.
