- Description: Partially gelatinized starch was prepared by gelatinizing corn starch at 64-72°C followed by spray drying (inlet temperature, feed flow rate, air flow rate of 200°C, 7.2 ml/min and 0.375 m 3/h, respectively). The morphology, granule size, crystalline fraction, swelling power and gelatinizing properties of partially gelatinized starch were investigated and compared with those of native starch. The surface morphology of partially gelatinized starch granules was shriveled with multiple surface folds. The granule size of partially gelatinized starch was smaller than that of native corn starch. There was either complete absence of crystalline fraction in partially gelatinized starch or the extent of crystalline fraction was greatly reduced. The swelling power of partially gelatinized starch was higher than that of the native starch below 60°C, while it was lower than that of native starch above 60°C. There was an increase in gelatinization temperature and a decrease in gelatinization enthalpy in partially gelatinized starch compared to that of native starch. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

- Description: The objective of this work was to investigate the effect of partial gelatinization of starch on its retrogradation using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The Avrami equation was used to predict the evolution of starch retrogradation kinetics. The degree of retrogradation in starch samples partially gelatinized 64 ?C (S64), 68 ?C (S68) and 70 ?C (S70) and control (S25) increased with storage time. The retrogradation enthalpies of S68 and S70 were almost four times as high as that of S64. The S25 and S64 had dominant A-type crystalline pattern while S68 and S70 showed dominant B-type crystalline pattern. The growth of remainder crystals was faster in S25 and S64, while both the nucleation and growth rates of new crystals were faster in S68 and S70. The Avrami model was found to represent the retrogradation kinetics data of these partially gelatinized starch samples quite satisfactorily (R2 > 0.95). © 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
