Zhenghong Chen Physicochemical properties of sweet potato starches and their application in noodle products Ph.D. thesis Wageningen University, The Netherlands-2003 ISBN: 90-5808-887-1 Abstract ABSTRACT Starches isolated from 3 Chinese sweet potato varieties (XuShu18, SuShu2, and SuShu8) differed in granule size and particle size distribution as well as in protein, lipid and phosphorus contents but the amylose contents were similar for these starches (19.3-20.0%). The pasting behavior, swelling pattern, and syneresis properties were investigated and found to vary. On comparison, the physicochemical properties of the sweet potato starches rather differ from those of potato and mung bean starches. The quality of the starch noodle made from SuShu8 starch was well comparable to that made from mung bean starch, and better than that made from SuShu2 and XuShu18 starches as evaluated by both instrumental and sensory analysis. Correlation between starch noodle quality and gel properties of the original starches was established in order to be able to predict the suitability of a starch for starch noodle manufacture. It was found that differently sized granule fractions showed a difference in ash, amylose and phosphorus content, as well as in gel firmness and freeze-thaw stability. The small size (<20 µm) granule fractions were found to be more suitable for starch noodle making and the qualities of both dried and cooked starch noodles made from these fractions were significantly better than those made from their original starches and much better than those made from the large size granule fractions. Sweet potato and potato starches and their derivatives (acetylated and hydroxypropylated) were also evaluated for the ability to manufacture high quality White Salted Noodle (WSN) by replacing the commonly used wheat flour up to 20%. It was found that only the use of acetylated starches could significantly improve WSN quality resulting in decreasing cooking loss, and increasing softness, stretchability and slipperiness. The cold peak breakdown (CPBD) of the composite flour, as measured in 1.5% NaCl solution, showed a significant correlation with the cooking loss, stretch stiffness and stretchability of WSN. Moreover, acetylated starch from potato and sweet potatoes were studied with respect to the degree of substitution (DS) and acetyl group distribution in differently sized granule fractions. The DS of the fractionated starches increased with decreasing starch granule size dimension. The DS of the amylopectin populations of differently sized granule fractions showed the same trends as the original starches, while the DS of the amylose populations were quite constant. It was confirmed that the acetylation only occurred in the outer lamellae of the crystalline region, but took place in all amorphous regions of starch granules. The acetyl group distribution is more heterogeneous in the amylose populations isolated from small size granule fractions.

China produces more than 85% of the whole world sweet potato crop. However, this abundant resource is still poorly utilized, in spite of the fact that it is cheaper than other crops. The industrial utilization of sweet potatoes is mainly based on the starch which can be isolated from this crop and which can be used as ingredients for food products. Noodles are important foods consumed in Asian countries. It is estimated that about 30-40 % of total wheat flour consumption is as noodle products in most Asian countries (Miskelly 1993). Starch noodle and Japanese White Salted Noodle (WSN) are the two most popular types, which qualities are mainly affected by starch properties. Starch noodles are made from starch only and the ideal raw material is mung bean starch. High quality WSN is typically made from wheat flour which is imported from Australia. The aim of this research is to evaluate the use of sweet potato starches or their derivatives in the manufacture of high quality of starch noodles in order to replace mung bean starch and in the manufacture of high quality WSN by partially replacing commonly used wheat flour. Starch General introduction Starch is a biopolymer composed of anhydroglucose units and is the major storage energy in various plants in nature. It can be widely found in cereal grain seeds (e.g. corn, wheat, rice, sorghum), tubers (e.g. potato), roots (e.g. cassava, sweet potato, arrowroot), legume seeds (e.g. peas, beans, lentils), fruits (e.g. green bananas, unripe apples, green tomatoes), trunks (e.g. sago palm) and leaves (e.g. tobacco). In Europe, about 7.7 × 106 t of starch is produced annually. It consists of corn starch (49%), wheat starch (29%) and potato starch (22%) (Röper 2002); the global situation is shown in figure 1 and is quite different from the situation in Europe. Starch can be simply manufactured by the combination of grinding the starch-rich crop followed by wet separation techniques. The starch granules will sediment in water due to their higher density. Native starch is a white powder with bland taste and flavor, and insoluble in cold water. In general, cereal starches (e.g. corn, wheat, rice) contain relatively high levels of lipids (0.2-0.8%) and protein (0.2-0.5%) resulting in a lower paste transparency and a pronounced and persistent “raw cereal flavor” of the starch gels. Tuber (e.g. potato) and root (e.g. tapioca) starches have lower levels of lipids (0.1-0.2%) and protein contents (0.1-0.2%). Potato starch is the only native starch containing significant amounts of chemically bound phosphate ester groups (degree of substitution = 0.003 ~ 0.005) located in amylopectin 2 General introduction 9.00% 0.70% 4.20% Corn 7.60% Potato Cassava Wheat Rice and other 78.50% Figure 1-Starch production world wide basis on raw material (International Starch Institute, 1997) Table 1-Chemical characteristics of starches obtained from various sources Starch Amylose (%) Lipids (%) Protein (%) Phosphorus (%) Corn a 28 0.8 0.35 0.00 Waxy corn a <2 0.2 0.25 0.00 High-amylose corn a 50-70 nd 0.5 0.00 Wheat a 28 0.9 0.4 0.00 Potato a 21 0.1 0.1 0.08 Tapioca a 17 0.1 0.1 0.00 Mung bean b 39 0.3 0.3 nd a: from BeMiller and Whistler, 1996; b: from Hoover and others, 1997. nd: not determined. molecules (Table 1). Starch granules are composed of two major polymers: amylose and amylopectin. Their structures and the relative amount of both populations play an important role in determining starch properties. The amylose content and degree of polymerization (DP) of amylose are important for the physical, chemical and technological properties of starch. Most starches contain ca 25% amylose. For waxy starches (e.g. waxy corn, waxy potato) the amylose content 3 Chapter 1 can be less than 2%, while the amylose content of high amylose corn starch can be up to 70% (Table 1). Amylose Amylose is primarily a linear chain of D-glucose units linked by α-1→4 linkages. However, some amylose molecules have about 0.3-0.5% of α-1→6 linkages (branches) (Takeda and others 1990). The DP of amylose is around 1500-6000. DP is the total number of anhydroglucose residues present divided by the number of reducing ends. The total content of carbohydrate generally can be determined by the phenol-sulphuric acid method, while reducing residues can be determined by the Park-Johnson’s colorimetric procedure for glucose (Hizukuri and others 1981). Amylose can form complexes with iodine and various organic compounds such as butanol and fatty acids. The complexing agents are incorporated within the amylose helixes. These complexes are essentially insoluble in water. Amylose is easily leached out from swollen granules just above the gelatinization temperature. The amylose fraction usually can be isolated by such aqueous leaching procedures (Hizukuri 1996), by dispersion and precipitation (Adkins and Greenwood 1969; Ceh and others 1985; Banks and others 1971) and by ultracentrifugation methods (Montgomery and others 1961; Majzoobi and others 2003).

Sajeev Central Tuber Crops Research Institute, Thiruvananthapuram-695017, India Corresponding author : * [email protected] ABSTRACT Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) has high ability to convert solar energy in to carbohydrates and store it in the bulky roots that are recognised as one of the energy godowns of nature. Sweet potato is next to cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) in acreage, widespread cultivation, diversified uses etc., among the tuber crops in the world. With rapidly changing lifestyle and urbanization, the significance of sweet potato as a food is getting diminished. Nevertheless, its importance as a health food is being increasingly realised now. A number of novel food products with functional value are being developed worldwide. Sweet potato tubers with their low glycaemic index have additional value as a food for diabetics. There are a range of primary food products that could be made from sweet potato like chips, flakes, frozen products, French fries, puree, etc., while it is also the raw materials for a host of secondary products like noodles, sugar syrups, alcohol, pasta etc. The potential of sweet potato as a promising food crop is discussed. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Keywords: chips, canning, frying, noodles, pasta Abbreviations: DSF, defatted

  • Matzo Balls for Passover for Our Passover Seder
    Matzo balls for Passover For our Passover Seder (traditional evening meal on the first night of Passover) my mother always made Matzo ball soup. Her famous soup was a chicken broth with matzo ball dumplings made from matzo meal, eggs, water, and schmaltz (chicken fat). We’ve gotten a little more modern as we make matzo balls in my house by using light oil instead of the schmaltz. There’s an art to making matzo balls as there are some common mistakes that make the dumplings heavy instead of light and fluffy. Here’s my recipe and instructions. Matzo Ball Recipe 1 cup Matzo meal ¼ cup light corn oil ¼ cup water 1 tsp. salt dash of pepper 4 large eggs 1 TB. fresh parsley, chopped Beat the eggs with the water, oil, salt, pepper, and parsley. Add matzo meal and stir until well mixed. Refrigerate the mixture for at least one hour. After chilling, shape walnut-sized dough into balls with your wetted hands. Keeping your hands wet keeps the matzo from sticking as you form the balls. Drop balls into boiling salted water and cook for 30 minutes. Remove the matzo balls from the water with a slotted spoon and add them to your chicken soup. This recipe makes about 20 1-inch matzo balls which is about 6 servings. The key mistakes that people make are to not leave enough time to adequately chill the mixture before dropping the balls into boiling water; stirring the mixture too much; and cooking the matzo balls in the chicken soup instead of salted water first.
