Structural, Techno-Functional, Digestibility, and Prebiotic Characteristics of Spray-Dried Starch-Stearic Acid Complexes From Sorghum and Corn.
The present study developed a novel resistant starch (RS-5) using a pilot-scale jacketed tank where sorghum/corn starches were separately complexed with stearic acid (SA) at 1%, 3%, and 5% levels during the gelatinization stage. The complexes containing starch slurry were spray-dried to obtain RS-5 in powdered form. Th...
