Research Abstract |
This study was aimed to develop a real-time measurement method of retrogradation of starch. Several kinds of starches were gelatinized at 121 degrees centigrade, and after that, they were kept at 5 degrees centigrade. The retrogradation degree of the above sample starches were measured by two methods, i.e., colorimetry with iodine solution and measurement of the amounts of resistant starch in the samples. At the same time, these sample starches were treated by infrared and near infrared spectroscopy. As the result, a wavelength which has high correlation with the retrogradation degree of starch was obtained. By measuring the absorbance at this wavelength, time-courses of retrogradation of starch and starchy foods will be obtained.
