Effects of Ozone Pretreatment and Lauric Acid Modification on the Structure and Properties of Banana Starch by CONG Xiaofei, ZHENG Lili, ZHENG Xiaoyan, XIAO Dao, AI Binling, YANG Yang, SHENG Zhanwu, YANG Jinsong

“…Results showed that in comparison with the native starch, the complexation index (CI) of the pretreated starch with lauric acid increased by 12.67%; the resulting complexes exhibited a significant increase in water solubility, swelling power and syneresis, an elevation in gelatinization temperature from 104.24–135.23 ℃ to 155.60–161.68 ℃, and a 6.71% increase in resistant starch, but a decrease in iodine binding capacity. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) demonstrated that lauric acid was bound to the surface of starch granules to form a complex, thereby increasing the surface height of starch granules. …”
