Gelatinization And Retrogradation Properties Of Native And Hydroxypropylated Crosslinked Tapioca Starches With Added Sucrose And Sodium Chloride

摘要

The effects of sucrose and sodium chloride on the gelatinization and retrogradation of native and hydroxypropylated crosslinked tapioca starches were investigated by using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Hydroxypropylated crosslinked tapioca starches showed low gelatinization temperature and enthalpy compared to the native tapioca starch. Sucrose and sodium chloride increased the gelatinization temperatures of all starch samples. The enthalpy to melt retrograded amylopectin of hydroxypropylated crosslinked tapioca starches were low, compared to that of the native starch. Sucrose did not have much effect on retrogradation of the starch, while sodium chloride decreased retrogradation of all starch samples.
