The antioxidants gallic acid vanillic acid are known to have positive effects on the human body, thus they were added to potato starch at 5 or 10% at various pH values (3, 5, 7, 9, 11). Total phenolic content (TPC) peaked for modified starches at 160 μg GAE/g; antioxidant capacity bore no strong relationship to TPC. Enthalpy of gelatinization and retrogradation were largely unaffected, but other thermal and pasting properties were drastically altered. 10% modifier had a more pronounced effect on thermal properties, particularly To and ΔH, whereas 5% modifier had a larger effect on RVA parameters. No V-amylose peaks were detected by XRD, and FTIR indicated a loss of crystallinity. The resistant starch (RS) content of native modified granules ranged from 37.6–77.2%, and slowly digestible starch increased compared to the control. In cooked samples, RS was either equal to or less than the control, ranging from 9.7–15.1%. |
