Study on structural characterization, physicochemical properties and digestive properties of euryale ferox resistant starch

摘要

At present, the raw materials for industrialized RS3 products are relatively simple and its purity is low. In addition, the correlation between structure and digestion characteristics of RS3 are rarely studied. In this study, euryale ferox, a kind of annual aquatic herb crop with high content of starch was used as a raw material to prepare RS3 by different methods, including autoclaving, enzymolysis-autoclaving and dual enzymolysis, respectively. The results showed that there were significant differences in the structure and physicochemical properties of the different euryale ferox resistant-enhanced and purified resistant starches (p 0.05). Purified euryale ferox resistant starches belonged to B + V type crystal and had high thermal stability. After digestion, the structure and thermal properties of euryale ferox resistant-enhanced starches changed a lot. The digestion rate and estimated glycemic index (eGI) of the three kinds of purified euryale ferox RS3 were lower than 20% and 50%, respectively.
