The study found that KGM significantly affected the physicochemical and digestible characteristics of FS-KGM complexes, forming a soft gel structure and inhibiting starch retrogradation. The addition of KGM reduced amylose content and viscosity, while slowing down the hydrolysis of FS.
In this study, the wheat starch with natural fermentation for 72 h was combined with konjac gum (KGM) at different concentrations (0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5%, w/w), and the changes in physicochemical and digestible characteristics of the complexes were investigated. The results showed that KGM clumped fermented starch (FS) granules together and caused the FS gels to form a close network structure. The addition of KGM significantly decreased the amylose content and swelling power, and reduced peak viscosity, final viscosity, and setback value (SB), which indicated that FS-KGM complexes possessed soft gel structure and could resist the short-term retrogradation. KGM impeded the increase of relative crystallinity, retrogradation enthalpy and gel firmness of FS during storage, suggesting the long-term retrogradation of FS was retarded by KGM. All starch pastes had a weak gel-like structure, and higher storage modulus (G ') and loss tangent (tan delta) values obtained after the addition of KGM. In vitro digestion results showed that KGM could slow the hydrolysis of FS, resulting in the increase of slowly digested starch (SDS) and resistant starch (RS). In particularly, the FS-0.3KGM showed the ideal structure, the best anti-retrogradation effected, and slowest the hydrolysis.
