Effects of glutathione on the physicochemical properties of high hydrostatically pressure gelatinized maize starch by Wei Zhang, Danxia Shi, Wenming Dong, Hong Li, Xiaohui Liu

“…Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed damaged morphology of WMS and complete swelled granules of LAS and HAS with different degree of gelatinization (DG) values, 92.86, 59.36, and 17.45 %, respectively. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (IR spectra), laser confocal micro-Raman (LCM-Raman) spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) results suggested that the crystallinity content of gelatinized WMS and HAS with addition of GSH was higher than that of LAS, and the gelatinized LAS and HAS were mainly of C type and V type, respectively. …”
