Hydrothermal Modifications of Granular Starch, with Retention of the Granular Structure: A Review
Abstract
Annealing and heat−moisture treatment are two hydrothermal treatments that modify the physicochemical properties of starch, without destroying granular structure. They involve incubation of starch granules in excess water/intermediate water content (annealing) or at low moisture levels (heat−moisture treatment) during a certain period of time, at a temperature above the glass transition temperaturr but below the gelatinization temperature. The impact of hydrothermal treatments on starch physicochemical properties is extensively discussed. Such physicochemical properties include granule morphology and crystallinity, double-helix content, amount and appearance of amylose−lipid complexes, gelatinization and pasting, swelling power and solubility, gel properties, and susceptibilities to acid and enzymic hydrolysis. Finally, the major differences between the effects of annealing and heat−moisture treatment are pointed out and an overview is given of possible explanations for the observed effects of hydrothermal treatments.

Gelatinization of high amylose starches may require temperatures in excess of 120°C, which is considerably higher than normal.
“For instance, gelatinization of high amylose starches may require temperatures in excess of 120°C, which is considerably higher than normal (Sievert et al., 1990; Jacobs and Delcour, 1998; Haralampu, 2000).”

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.
