Advantages of Lentil Starch

Lentil (Lens culinaris M.), an important legume crop, contains about 69% of carbohydrates which are mostly in the form of starch. Lentil starch contains high levels of amylose (29%-45.5%), and a low amylopectin: amylose ratio. It can form a highly stable gel network and has a wide range of applications in food and other fields. It also can be used for thickening (thickening), gelling, encapsulation, etc.

Lentil starch is used in food products to change the texture of foods such as sauces, noodles, cookies, frozen foods, and others. Because starch can form gels, it can be used to make salad dressings, yogurt, peanut butter, and others. Lentil starch films can also be used for coating or packaging, and are colorless, odorless, and tasteless. In addition, lentil starch can be modified physicochemically to increase resistance to mechanical shear, acid hydrolysis, high temperature, or enzymatic hydrolysis, and to improve functionality.

Applications

• In the food sector, high-quality lentil starch is used as a food thickener, improver, dietary fiber and gourmet beautifier.
• In biomaterials, high-quality lentil starch can be used to develop a variety of biofilms. For example it can be used to make starch films for food packaging.
• Modified lentil starch has better physicochemical properties such as swelling properties and thermal stability. Its applicability in food processing is enhanced.

Highlights

• Our research team is very specialized in starch production, improving the traditional starch production process. The yield and purity of the product have been greatly improved.
