Abstract:
In this study, the synergistic effect of plasma-activated water (PAW) combined with twin-screw extrusion (TSE) on multi-scale structure, physicochemical and digestive properties of yam starch (YS) was studied. PAW-TSE resulted in higher amylose content in YS than TSE alone. Compared with single TSE, the relative crystallinity, short-range ordered degree, and gelatinization enthalpy of YS were increased by PAW-TSE according to the results of X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared, Raman spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry. Furthermore, rapid viscosity and dynamic rheological analysis showed that the peak and breakdown viscosity of PAW-TSE treated YS paste were considerably reduced, and the storage modulus and loss modulus were significantly increased, indicating that the gel strength and thermal stability were improved. In addition, the resistant starch (RS) content of YS treated by PAW-TSE increased from 6.04 % to 21.21 %. Notably, the effect of PAW-TSE on YS enhanced with the preparation time of PAW increased. Finally, correlation analysis indicated that the characteristic indexes of PAW had a significant impact on the long or short-range ordered structure, thermal properties, and in vitro digestibility of YS during extrusion. Therefore, PAW-TSE, as an emerging dual modification technology, will greatly expand the application of extrusion technology.
