Effects of grain milling on starch structures and flour/starch properties

Li, Enpeng, Dhital, Sushil, Hasjim, Jovin·2014·Starch - Stärke

Abstract

Abstract Milling or grinding of cereal grains to produce flour is frequently accompanied by damage to starch granules, disruption of starch crystalline structure, and degradation of starch molecules. Amylopectin (AP) molecules are more susceptible to degradation than amylose (AM) molecules as AM molecules, present in amorphous conformation in native starch granules, are more flexible than the rigid double helical crystallites made of AP branches. The changes of starch structures caused by milling alter starch properties, including gelatinization, pasting, swelling, solubility, and digestibility, and thus affect flour quality. The changes in starch structures and properties, however, are different between the grinding of cereal grains and that of isolated starch granules as the latter ignores the influences from non‐starch components in grains. Hence, the grinding of isolated starch granules, commonly used to understand the effects of milling, does not represent the grinding of cereal grains. This review allows a better understanding in the changes of starch structures and properties by milling, which is important in the production of flour with desirable properties.

  • The processing of cereals has influenced different added features of the diet, such as total nutrient content, starch bioavailability, and texture.

    “The processing of cereals has influenced different added features of the diet, such as total nutrient content, starch bioavailability, and texture.”
  • The invention of mechanical mills allowed for the refining of carbohydrates, changing the nutritional properties of cereals, which were significantly impaired by the isolation of starch-rich constituents (flour) and the elimination of the outer bran layer.

  • Such changes in the pre-Neolithic oral microbiota have been further exacerbated by the evolution of food-processing techniques that emerged during the Industrial Revolution, ~200 years ago, consistent with the invention of mechanical steel roller mills in the 19th century, in which the nutritive properties of grains were significantly altered by the isolation of starch-rich components and removal

  • Processing techniques remove the outer fibrous bran layer of grains to isolate the inner starch-rich endosperm components.

    “Processing techniques seek to remove the outer, fibrous bran layer of grains to isolate the inner starch‐rich endosperm components.”
  • The nutritional value of grains is dictated by multiple factors, including grain particle size (degree of processing) and preparation method (cooking).

    “However, the nutritional value of grains is dictated by multiple factors, including grain particle size (ie, degree of processing) and preparation method (ie, cooking).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
