Abstract:
Interactions among food components during food processing play important role in starch digestibility. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of heat moisture treatment on the structural, physicochemical, and digestibility properties of starch-soybean peptide complexes. Corn and potato starch mixed with different amounts of soybean peptide were subjected to heat moisture treatment. The addition of soybean peptide increased pasting temperature, while decreased peak viscosity and swelling power in both starch samples under heat moisture treatment. Thermal analysis showed that soybean peptide retarded starch gelatinization, and heat moisture treatment contributed to a more stable crystalline structure. Lower RDS contents and higher RS contents were associated with higher soybean peptide amounts. Potato starch was more sensitive to heat moisture treatment than corn starch. The results will enrich the interaction theory between starch and protein, and will be important for the development of carbohydrate-restricted diet and protein-based functional foods.

One important factor is the drug's molecular size. The kidneys readily excrete smaller molecules below 300 Daltons (Da). On the other hand, molecules weighing between 300 and 500 Da are excreted through both urine and bile. Larger molecules above 500 Da tend to be excreted...

Structure and Physical Properties of Alkynes
In nature, compounds containing both carbon and hydrogen are known as "hydrocarbons". Aliphatic hydrocarbons are compounds whose molecules contain saturated single bonds (i.e., alkanes) or unsaturated double or triple bonds. Alkenes contain carbon–carbon double bonds and have a structural formula CnH2n. Unsaturated hydrocarbons containing carbon–carbon triple bonds are called "alkynes" and are structurally represented by the formula CnH2n-2.
