The grain of six standard wheat cultivars and one high-amylose wheat cultivar was ground and milled to produce common white flour used to prepare bread, biscuits and wafers. Changes in rapidly and slowly digestible starch (RDS and SDS), resistant starch (RS) and fibre caused by different milling and by the preparation of bakery products were observed. Depending on the milling process, RDS ranged from 28.3 to 32.4% of dry matter and SDS from 18.3 to 35.2%. The preparation of bakery products increased RDS by 30-80% to the detriment of SDS. RS comprised on average 6.6% of ground grain, 3.9% of wheat flour and 3.5, 5.9 and 1.0% of bread, biscuits and wafers, respectively. Variance amongst standard wheat cultivars was low, with only the highamylose wheat showing unique technological and nutritional properties. RS and total starch (TS) were measured using two different methods. TS determinations correlated closely, although the linear regression varied amongst the different matrices. The correlation between RS values measured by the two methods was loose, and no significant linear regression was found. The article brings new information on variability in starch digestibility in cereal products depending on wheat cultivar used for production.
Maize grits with or without starchy additives (native wheat starch, distarch phosphates, soluble fiber) were extruded through a single-screw laboratory extruder Brabender KE 19/25 with a controlled barrel temperature in three zones and in a head, die diameter 4 mm, comprising a compression ratio of the screw of 2:1. The purpose was to influence resistant starch (RS) content together with improving/saving key physicochemical properties by controlling extrusion cooking variables (water addition into feed of 5-20%, screw speed 80-120 rpm, temperature, mass fraction of the additive in the dry premix 0-50%). The influences of most starchy additives were negligible. Pre-gelatinized cross-linked starch and soluble fiber nutriose influenced significantly the process pressure, where a low value exhibited high values RS. Based on the data of 48 trials, 7 mathematical optimization models were computed. High RS content worsened the expansion ratio. To obtain a RS content of 1%, it was necessary to decrease expansion ratio to 1.7 where the breaking strength was acceptable. The result of minimizing resistant starch content created an expansion ratio from 2.6 to 2.7, a breaking strength 1 N/mm 2 and a RS content (maximum) of 0.2%.
The aim of the paper was to seek suitable conditions of extrusion cooking using a laboratory single-screw extruder to increase slowly digestible (SDS) and resistant starch (RS) content in extrudates saving sensory characteristics of the fi nal product prepared from corn grits with added native wheat starch, distarch phosphates, or soluble fi bre Nutriose (Roquette, France).In addition to the composition of input mixtures, process parameters of a single-screw extruder, such as speed of screw and barrel temperatures, were changed. The highest expansion ratio (4.14) was found for temperatures 44 °C, 90 °C, 120 °C, and 140 °C, die diameter 3 mm, compression ratio 3:1, rotation speed 140 r.p.m., and dosing 15 r.p.m. The addition of native wheat starch to corn grits resulted in values of the expansion ratio ranging from 1.17-2.38.A high concentration of RS -2.4% per starch -was observed for a 20% ratio of Nutriose with a 10% addition of water. The addition of 20-50% of native wheat starch resulted in values ranging from 0.2-0.4% per starch. The highest SDS content (72.5% per starch) in extrudates was obtained for the mixture of corn grits, 20% cross-linked starch, and water (10% addition).
