Extraction and Modification of Amaranth Starch
Amaranth plants are rich in starch and have special properties, which play an important role in food processing. There are usually three kinds of starch modification methods of amaranth: chemical method, physical method, and enzymatic method. Chemical methods usually carry out some chemical reactions to change the structure of starch, such as esterification, oxidation, cationization, and grafting of starch structure. Physical methods can modify the starch of amaranth to the food level, usually employing the wet-heat method and changing pressure method. An obvious advantage of the physical method is that the modified starch has higher food safety than the starch obtained by the chemical method. In recent years, the frequency of the enzymatic method has shown a rapid upward trend, in most cases, enzyme plays a role in hydrolysis, and its catalytic effect on starch modification is more obvious.
What Can We Do
The change in the microstructure of amaranth starch is characteristic of its application in food processing. Therefore, to expand its scope of application, it is necessary to develop more comprehensive methods for the extraction, modification, and testing of amaranth starch. So far, CD BioGlyco has established a professional service platform to provide One-Stop Amaranth Starch Production Services.
- Amaranth starch production service
CD BioGlyco uses the integrated process of raw material treatment, alkaline solution or acid solution soaking, crushing, filtration, centrifugation, and drying to extract amaranth starch. The annual output is about 4 tons.
- Amaranth starch characterization testing service
For the extracted amaranth starch, CD BioGlyco provides specialized instruments and equipment to examine the structure and properties of the starch. First, we will utilize a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to observe the morphology of the starch. Secondly, we will use X single crystal diffractometer to detect the crystallinity of amaranth starch, and a rapid viscosity analyzer (RVA 4) to measure the viscosity of starch. In addition, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is also an effective method to analyze the thermal properties of amaranth starch.
