To develop a novel modification process of tapioca starch using low-pressure argon plasma treatment in a large-scale production, a semi-continuous downer reactor was designed to provide a production rate of 0.1-0.5 kg per cycle. Physicochemical and rheological properties of plasma-treated starch were investigated in order to predict the phenomena occurred during the plasma treatment. Native tapioca starch (NTS) was plasma-treated for 1, 3, or 6 cycles, which were referred to as PTS-1, PTS-3, or PTS-6 samples, respectively. Plasma treatment of the NTS resulted in a significant decrease (P < 0.05) in paste clarity and Rapid Visco Analyzer (RVA) breakdown viscosity, and an increase in gel strength of starch. The PTS-1 had the lowest paste clarity of 39.85 %T at 650 nm and breakdown viscosity of 29.71 Rapid Visco Unit (RVU), and the highest gel strength, e.g., G' = 5.47 omega (0.32). With increasing the number of treatment cycles, i.e., the PTS-3 and PTS-6, the paste clarity and breakdown viscosity significantly increased (P < 0.05), while the gel strength decreased. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy via relative areas of C-O-C peaks indicated that the PTS-1 had a significant increase (P < 0.05) in the C-O-C cross-linked bonds compared to the NTS, but the effect of depolymerization could further suppress the cross-linking reaction when the number of treatment cycle was increased. Taking an advantage of a very short residence time (less than 0.3 s) in the plasma downer reactor, the semi-continuous process of starch modification could be developed for a commercial production of non-chemically modified starch with a relatively low degree of cross-linking.
