The effects of three types of inulin, including FS (DP≤10), FI (DP of 2-60) and FXL (DP≥23), on the gelatinization and retrogradation characteristics of wheat starch were investigated. As the concentration of inulin added into starch increased, the gelatinization temperature increased whereas the breakdown value decreased, and the value of setback first decreased and then increased slightly. The three types of inulin with lower concentrations (<15%) all showed obvious suppression effects on the short-term retrogradation of wheat starch. After 7days of storage, the three types of inulin showed a significant suppression of starch retrogradation in the addition range of 5-7.5%. They can all inhibit amylose retrogradation, but accelerate amylopectin retrogradation. Inulin with lower DP has stronger effects on the starch retrogradation. Generally, the three types of inulin can all retard the retrogradation performance of wheat starch to some extent in the long-term storage.

Potato starch noodles (PSN), a characteristic gluten-free Asian food, are essentially high-concentration starch gels (about 35% starch) formed through gelatinization and retrogradation. This study systematically investigates freezing temperature effects, particularly across the glass transition temperature, on PSN texture and microstructure. We found that fresh PSN have a freezing point of -1 °C, supercooling temperature of -4.

Arabinoxylan (AX) and (1,3)(1,4)-β-D-glucan (BG), as the main components of cereal grain cell wall polysaccharides, can effectively improve the processing characteristics of grain starch. To enhance starch processing properties, we constructed AX/BG-coated starch granules by simulating the architecture of cereal endosperms. Using rheology, thermal stability analysis, X-ray diffraction, spectroscopy, and low-field nuclear magnetic resonance, we investigated the interactive effects of AX and BG on starch gelatinization and retrogradation.

This study investigated the effects of dual modification (gamma radiation and dry heat treatment) on bean starch (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), analyzing structural, thermal, and functional changes. Continuous (CDHT) and repeated (RDHT) dry heat treatments (120 °C/3-9 h) were applied in combination with gamma radiation (10 kGy) in different sequences (γ-DHT and DHT-γ).

Blending plant and animal proteins to tailor starch performance is challenging due to contradictions in their conformational relationships. Herein, egg white protein (EWP) and pine kernel protein (PKP) were combined to prepare corn starch-based ternary matrices of EWP/PKP blends and co-precipitates, and their effects on starch sol-gel transformation and retrogradation properties were traced. Co-precipitation treatment improved the cohesion and techno-functionality of dual-proteins by enhancing hydrophobic interactions, disulfide bonds, and hydrogen bonding rearrangements.

The rising incidence of diet-related chronic and celiac diseases underlines the demand for high-quality, functional gluten-free products that improve health. This study systematically evaluated the impact of oat flour (OF) substitution at different levels on the mixed flour and the final FGCs (OF 0%, OF 10%, OF 20%, OF 30%, OF 40%), along with underlying mechanisms. OF substitution enhanced the system's water-binding capacity, the integrity of starch granules, and viscoelasticity, while inhibiting gelatinization and promoting short-term retrogradation, as evidenced by reduced pasting enthalpy and increased pasting temperature and setback value.
