Summary: Adhesiveness is an important sensory property of noodles. This study evaluated the adhesiveness of cooked noodles and analyzed the composition and structure of the noodle leachate. The results showed that adhesiveness is positively correlated with loss modulus parameters and can be reduced by increasing the content of long amylopectin chains and large granules in the wheat starch. The rheological approach using noodle surface materials was found to be useful in predicting noodle adhesiveness as a sensory characteristic.

Summary: In this study, wheat starch granules with different crystalline polymorphisms and amylose contents were digested in vitro. The results showed that B-type high amylose wheat starch exhibited distinct changes in the multi-level structures of digestion-resistant fractions, suggesting that elongated branches in B-type starch contribute to the formation of resistant fraction against alpha-amylase. The absence of surface pores and channels in the amorphous packing of starch polymers with elongated branches is proposed as the basis for the enzymatic resistance of granular HAWS.

Summary: The popularity of high-amylose cultivars of main crops is increasing due to their unique properties and enhanced nutritional values. This study evaluated the performance of high-amylose wheat (HAW) flours and starches with different amylose contents under high-temperature processing. The results showed that conventional RVA could not predict the pasting behaviors of HAW ingredients accurately, and the iodine colorimetry method was not a good indicator of the cooling and retrogradation process. Protein content and composition also influenced the pasting behaviors of HAW flours, and fine structural features of amylose and amylopectin played a regulatory role.

Summary: The demand for cleaner-label starch has driven the advancement of food physical processing technologies aimed at modifying starch to reduce glycaemic potency and increase resistant starch content. This review provides an overview of recent updates in physical processing techniques and discusses potential structures that enhance enzyme-digestion resistance in starch. The effectiveness of current physical modifications in improving starch enzymatic resistance has not been consistent, suggesting the need for exploring novel strategies and identifying modification conditions that maintain starch structure.

Summary: This study investigates a new approach to manipulate the digestibility of high-amylose maize starch (HAMS) through combinative modifications - depolymerization via electron beam irradiation (EBI) and reorganizing glucan chains via heat moisture treatment (HMT). The results show that EBI increases the branching degree of the starch, while HMT increases the relative crystallinity and V-type fraction. However, the combination of EBI and HMT may have a negative effect on starch enzymatic resistance under simulated gastrointestinal conditions.

Summary: Limited knowledge exists on the regulation of molecular composition of starch leachates through irradiative depolymerization. This study investigated the leaching behavior of electron beam depolymerized maize starch and its relationship with modified starch granule structures. The findings showed a decrease in branching degree and the presence of a smaller amylopectin fraction in the leached starch, as well as changes in the granule properties. Principal component and Pearson correlation analysis revealed that the degree of branching and the newly-derived amylopectin fraction significantly correlated with the molecular size of leached starch molecules. The study suggests that cleavage of alpha-1,6 linkage plays a critical role in controlling the leaching process of irradiated starch granules, offering potential for optimizing starch-based food properties.

Summary: This study explored a new physical modification approach using electron beam irradiation and annealing to increase the enzymatic resistance of high-amylose starch. The combinative modification increased the crystallinity and gelatinization temperature, while decreasing the final digestion percentage. The extent of depolymerization was found to be crucial in determining the enzymatic resistance. The study also found a significant correlation between gelatinization onset temperature and digestion kinetic parameter.
