The structure and properties of granular cold-water-soluble starch by a NaOH/urea aqueous solution
2019
Abstract The NaOH/urea treatment of starch results in granular cold-water-soluble starch (GCWSS). The research indicated that the optimized condition for this treatment was aqueous solution of 14% w/v NaOH and 12% w/v urea (all dosages based on starch weight) at ambient temperature (25 °C) for 10 min with stirring. The aqueous solution was then treated a water-extraction and alcohol-precipitation method. The solid sample was dried in an oven at 60 °C. The GCWSS displayed a cold-water solubility of ~90%. The GCWSS had lower amylose content. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction also indicated that it was an amorphous solid with a V-type pattern (single-helix). The NaOH/urea solution could destroy the inter and intra hydrogen bonding of starch thereby decreasing glass transition temperature, and improve the cold water solubility of native starch.
