Starch Testing STARCH Determination of total, resistant, damaged and gelatinized starch and maltodextrins starch granules, as resistant starch, as damaged Introduction starch or gelatinized starch. The physiological Starch is a natural vegetable polysaccharide. It state of the starch in a food and/or feed product serves as a storage form of glucose, and thus strongly affects the energy, in plants. Therefore starch is an important constituent in seeds and grains (corn, wheat, rice), tubers (potato) and root vegetables (e.g. tapioca or cassava). But it is also present in immature fruits as bananas. The main starch crops are cereals, potatoes, and tapioca. In plant material, starch is present as small white digestibility of the starch by human and animal and granules insoluble in cold water. Both shape and therefore its energy value. size of the starch granules are characteristic to its botanical source. Depending upon the botanical Damaged starch origin, starch granule sizes range from less than 1 μm up to 50-60 μm. Damaged starch granules hydrate rapidly and are susceptible to amylolytic hydrolysis and, therefore Starches of different botanical origin contribute significant to water absorption of a a = potato, b = tapioca, c = corn dough. The level of damaged starch in flours determines amongst others the baking capability Chemical structure and of the flour and is therefore an important quality physiological forms of starch parameter for flours. From a chemical viewpoint, starch is a homopolymer of glucose. It consists of long linear unbranched chains of 14-α-D-glucose units Gelatinized starch (amylose) and/or long α-16 branched chains of Due to process conditions as heat, pressure and 14-α linked D-glucose units (amylopectin).

    Food Science and Technology Notes Extension Division Deportment of Food ScienceondTechnology Virginia Polytechnic Institute Blacksburg, Virginia HFST-547-1 SOME NEWER IDEAS FOR USING CORN SWEETENERS IN ICE CREAM Dr. J. G. Leeder Department of Food Science Rutgers - The State University New Brunswick, New Jersey (Reproduced from NICFA Production Tirs, March 1970) Although the subject of corn sweeteners has been discussed in these Production Tips on several occasions, there still seems to be some misunderstanding about t he various corn sweetener products, their composition differences, and how they should be used in ice cream. This situation has caused confusion among ice cream manufac­ turers. I shall try to clear up the corn sweetener "problem" by re-defining the several products available and indicate how they should be used. In the first place, corn sweeteners should not be called "corn sugar. 11 Corn sugar, or dextrose, is a monosaccharide sugar obtained from the complete hydrolysis of corn starch. This sugar, which is about 75% as sweet as sucrose, has an approxi­ mate analysis of dextrose - 92% and water (as water of crystallization) - 8%. Since a 15% dextrose solution has a freezing point of 28.63°F compared with 30.16°F for a 15% sucrose solution, only 25% replacement of sucrose with dextrose is advisable. More than this amount of dextrose will cause difficulties with freezing , hardening, and storing of the ice cream because its freezing point will be too low. Dextrose (corn sugar) is not used much today in ice cream because it has no body building or heat shock resistance properties and because it lowers the freezing point too much.

  • Maltodextrin and Dental Caries: a Literature Review
    http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1981-8637201800030000103288 CLINICALREVISÃO | REVIEWCLÍNICO Maltodextrin and dental caries: a literature review Maltodextrina e cárie dentária: uma revisão de literatura Gabriela REZENDE1 ORCID iD 0000-0002-7347-0973 Lina Naomi HASHIZUME1 ORCID iD 0000-0001-5477-2768 ABSTRACT Carbohydrates are largely present in our diet. Sucrose the most commonly consumed carbohydrat and presents a high cariogenic potential. Starch has low cariogenic potential but this effect may be increased if it is consumed in combination with a sucrose-rich diet due to a prolonged retention on tooth surfaces. Maltodextrin is derived from the acid hydrolysis and/or enzymatic hydrolysis of corn starch and it is increasingly present in a variety of industrialized foods such as infant formulas, sports drinks and energy supplements. Yet, its role in the development of dental caries is not clear. The objective of this study was to conduct a literature review of the association between maltodextrin and dental caries. Based on the studies included in this review it can be concluded that maltodextrin has an acidogenic potential lower than sucrose, and that there is a lack of studies about the association between maltodextrin and sucrose and it may not be possible to assess the relationship to dental caries. Indexing terms: Carbohydrates. Dental caries. Literature. RESUMO Os carboidratos são amplamente presentes em nossa dieta. A sacarose é o carboidrato mais comumente consumido e apresenta um alto potencial cariogênico. O amido apresenta um baixo potencial cariogênico, mas este efeito pode ser aumentado se for consumido em combinação com uma dieta rica em sacarose, devido a uma retenção prolongada nas superfícies dos dentes.

  • Roquette NUTRIOSE® Is a Dietary Fiber
    PRESS RELEASE Roquette NUTRIOSE® is a dietary fiber Following the announcement from the FDA, food producers can continue to describe NUTRIOSE® as a fiber in the nutritional information of their products Geneva, IL, June 21, 2018 – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently published an updated list of isolated and synthetic non-digestible carbohydrates that have a beneficial physiological effect to human health and, thus, can be considered dietary fiber. “Resistant maltodextrin/dextrin”, which includes Roquette’s NUTRIOSE® soluble fibers, derived from either corn or wheat, are now recognized by the FDA as dietary fiber. Food producers can continue to describe NUTRIOSE® as fiber in the nutritional information of their products and the level of fiber can be used as a basis to support the fiber nutrient content claims. Concerning the labelling of NUTRIOSE®, the common or usual names recognized by the FDA for the “resistant maltodextrin/dextrin” listing include “soluble corn fiber” and “soluble wheat fiber.” Thus, these continue to be appropriate descriptors (or common or usual names) for NUTRIOSE®. A versatile ingredient, NUTRIOSE® offers a host of nutritional assets for the formulators of food products. A soluble fiber with a neutral taste, NUTRIOSE® is obtained from non-GMO cereals (wheat and maize) and has a food ingredient status. From fiber enrichment to sugar reduction, it can readily be used in a wide range of foodstuffs to improve their nutritional profile. Furthermore, it has the particularity of having very good digestive tolerance. Early in 2017, Roquette submitted comments on the FDA’s scientific review and cooperated with the FDA during the decision-making process.

Stein, Chair Professor Emeritus George C. Fahey, Jr. Professor Emeritus Michael R. Murphy Associate Professor Kelly S. Swanson Professor Kelly A. Tappenden ABSTRACT: In vivo and in vitro experiments were conducted to determine digestibility of GE and nutrients, as well as DE and ME of carbohydrates fed to growing pigs. The objective of Exp. 1 was to determine the DE and ME of 4 novel carbohydrates fed to pigs. The 4 novel carbohydrates were 2 sources of resistant starch (RS 60 and RS 70), soluble corn fiber (SCF), and pullulan. These carbohydrates were produced to increase total dietary fiber (TDF) intake by humans. Maltodextrin (MD) was used as a highly digestible control carbohydrate. The DE and ME for RS 60 (1,779 and 1,903 kcal/kg, respectively), RS 75(1,784 and 1,677 kcal/kg, respectively), and SCF (1,936 and 1,712 kcal/kg, respectively) were less (P < 0.05) than for MD (3,465 and 3,344 kcal/kg, respectively) and pullulan (2,755 and 2,766 kcal/kg, respectively), and pullulan contained less (P < 0.05) DE and ME than MD. However, there was no difference in the DE and ME for RS 60, RS 75, and SCF.
