Physicochemical Properties and Antioxidant Activity of Japanese Purple Sweet Potato Starch Modified by Acid and Heat Treatments
Main Article Content
Abstract
Starch produced from sweet potatoes is commonly used in food industries. Modifications of sweet potatoes can improve some properties of starch which can be done by chemical modifications or physical modifications. The objective of this research was to investigate effects of modifications of Japanese purple sweet potato in starch production process on physicochemical properties and antioxidant activity of the starch. In this study, 4 formulae of starch were prepared including S1, S2, S3 and S4. The formula S1 was non-modified control. The formula S2 was starch prepared from Japanese purple sweet potato modified with citric acid and hydrothermal treatment. The formulae S3 and S4 were starches prepared from Japanese purple sweet potato modified with citric acid and heat-moisture treatment for 30 and 40 min, respectively. Chemical properties, physical properties and antioxidant activity of all starch formulae were analyzed. It was found that the Japanese purple sweet potato starch formula S4 contained the highest amounts of phenolic compounds, flavonoids and anthocyanin, thus having the strongest purple color and highest antioxidant activity. Furthermore, from viscosity analysis, although the maximum viscosity values of all 4 starch formulae were not significantly different, the Japanese purple sweet potato starch formula S4 had lowest breakdown and setback values indicating the highest stability. The results from this research are the basic information useful for the Japanese purple sweet potato starch production process in order to obtain the desired properties of Japanese purple sweet potato starch.
