This study investigated the structural changes associated with starch hydrothermal treatments using wheat, pea, and potato starches. The differences in derivatization patterns and shifts in X-ray diffraction patterns confirmed molecular rearrangement. The reaction homogeneity and overall extent of reaction increased for heat-moisture treated (HMT) starches, and the co-crystallization of certain starch chains was observed in annealed (ANN) starches. These molecular rearrangements led to altered swelling and pasting viscosities.
Differences in derivatization patterns (using a fluorescent reagent, fluorescein isothiocyanate) of wheat, pea, and potato starches between native granular (NAT) starches and their respective annealed (ANN) and heat-moisture treated (HMT) starches were investigated to reveal structural changes associated with starch hydrothermal treatments. Size-exclusion chromatography with fluorescence and refractive index detection assessed the reactivity of amylose (AM), intermediate chains (IM1 and IM2), and amylopectin branch chains (AP1, AP2, and AP3) within the different starches. Shifts in X-ray diffraction patterns of HMT starches and in the gelatinization properties of both ANN and HMT starches confirmed molecular rearrangement. The reaction homogeneity (wheat and pea) and the overall extent of reaction (pea and potato) increased for HMT starches compared to other starches. The lower reactivities of IM2 chains (HMT starch) and AP3 chains (ANN starch) relative to NAT starches, indicated their involvement in molecular rearrangements and improved double helical order. IM2 and AP branch chains in ANN pea starch also were less reacted than NAT starch chains, suggesting their co -crystallization. Molecular rearrangements in ANN and HMT starches led to altered swelling and pasting viscosities. Thus, changes in the relative crystallinity of individual starch branch chains induced by hydrothermal processing impact the final physical properties.
