In this study, samples of native cassava starch were oxidised with standard NaClO solutions (0.1, 0.2 and 0.5 mol L −1 ) and exposed for 1 h under UV light (UVC radiation with λ= 256 nm); they were subsequently filtered, washed, dried and analysed. The thermogravimetric curves showed similar behaviour, with three main mass losses and a decrease in the thermal stability for samples (1) and (3). The oxidative modification performed caused a decrease in the viscosity peaks (RVA), gelatinisation enthalpy (DSC) and relative crystallinity (XRD), and an increase in the average roughness (NC-AFM). The X-ray diffraction powder patterns displayed the BA^type for all the starch granules. The colour parameters showed a slight increase in the L* value (trend to white) for the treated samples.
The objective of this study was to develop a formulation that can retard staling/retrogradation of cheese breads without compromising their texture and expansion properties. During baking the dough expands and becomes soft, with lower density. Binary mixtures of cassava starch (Native + Oxidized) and with guar gum (Oxidized + Guar Gum) as well as a ternary mixture (Native + Oxidized + Guar Gum) were prepared. The mixtures were analyzed for freeze-thaw stability, expansion, pasting, thermal structural and retrogradation properties. The results were compared with those of sour cassava starch (-PA), native cassava starch (N) and oxidized cassava starch (O). Moreover, cheese breads were prepared with these mixtures and evaluated during storage. The ternary mixture N + O + GG showed superior freeze-thaw stability (syneresis of 4.9, 7.8 and 11.0% in 1st, 2nd and 3rd cycles, respectively); the low retrogradation of this sample was confirmed both by DSC and FTIR analyses. The sample N + O + GG had a high expansion (> 10 mL/g) and the cheese breads developed with this mixture had a slower staling. Our results confirmed that the mixture N + O + GG can improve formulations of gluten-free baked foods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
