Abstract
Debranched water yam starch was subjected to repeated hydrothermal treatment (HTT), and its physicochemical and structural properties and digestion pattern were investigated. The B-type crystalline pattern of raw starch was recrystallized to B- and CA-type patterns by debranching and repeated HTT. The degree of relative crystallinity of debranched starch gradually increased and reached its maximum (43.3%) after five repetitions of HTT. The thermal transition temperatures and melting enthalpy of recrystallized starches increased progressively, reflecting the perfection of their crystalline structure, leading to the accumulation of boiling-stable crystalline structure under repeated HTT conditions. As a result, RS of HTT starches reached a very high level (>92.2%). The boiling-stable RS content depended on the repetition of this treatment and was maximized (81.0%) after five repetitions.
