Effect of dandelion root polysaccharide on the pasting, gelatinization, rheology, structural properties and in vitro digestibility of corn starch

The influence of dandelion root polysaccharide (DRP) on the gelatinization properties and in vitro digestibility of corn starch was investigated. Pasting behaviors indicated that the addition of DRP led to an increase of the pasting temperature and a decrease of viscosity. Compared to native corn st...

Description
Summary:The influence of dandelion root polysaccharide (DRP) on the gelatinization properties and in vitro digestibility of corn starch was investigated. Pasting behaviors indicated that the addition of DRP led to an increase of the pasting temperature and a decrease of viscosity. Compared to native corn starch, the swelling power, solubility and content of amylose leaching were reduced as the DRP addition increased. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis showed that DRP was easily dispersed in the starchy matrix, and a more uniform structure was observed in corn starch/DRP pastes. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses confirmed that the crystal shape of the corn starch gels was not changed and no new groups were produced with increasing DRP concentration. Moreover, DRP could improve the fluidity of the gelatinized corn starch and reduce its digestibility. These findings provided fundamental information about DRP's application in the whole processing of corn starch.
