Novel mechanochemical approach for wheat starch-LPC complex formation

Abstract

Amylose-LPC inclusion complexes are acquired by a novel mechanochemical method and by hydrothermal method. The new synthetic method includes mechanical milling of suspension of LPC and starch under controlled conditions. Both methods applied resulted in similar microstructure of the complexes, studied by x-ray diffraction (XRD). Furthermore, Solid-state 13 C NMR spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) also confirm the efficient complexation by the new approach.
