Abstract:
Synergistic influence of extrusion conditions and whey protein isolate (WPI) incorporation on glycemic response and physicochemical characteristics of rice starch was studied. Box-Behnken Design was used to evaluate effect of process variables (rice starch:WPI ratio; feed moisture and barrel temperature) on quality characteristics of resistant starch-rich, low GI extruded snacks (RSLG-E). Optimum conditions for development of RSLG-E were WPI:18.30 %, feed moisture:20 % and barrel temperature:120 °C. FTIR spectroscopy showed maximum peaks at 1615 cm-1 and 1540 cm-1 corresponding to presence of amide group; however, such band was absent in control. Thermal analysis indicated significantly higher transition temperatures in RSLG-E than control. Expansion ratio (3.79 ± 0.17) and overall acceptability (4.48 ± 0.05) were found to be significantly lower in RSLG-E. In vitro digestibility indicated significantly lower very rapidly digestible starch (2.08 ± 0.03 %) and rapidly digestible starch (68.49 ± 1.07 %) in RSLG-E than control. Digestible starch (86.85 ± 0.97 %), starch hydrolysis rate (58.72 ± 0.97 %) and slowly digestible starch (72.61 ± 0.82 %) were lower in control.
