The invention provides a
combined treatment method for improving digestibility of cassava, which comprises the following steps: A) pretreating a cassava sample, and then carrying out heat treatment,
drying,
grinding and sieving to obtain cassava flour; the heat treatment comprises water boiling,
steaming and frying; b) mixing and
degreasing tapioca flour with
petroleum ether to obtain degreased tapioca flour; and C) mixing the degreased tapioca flour with a
buffer solution, performing enzymolysis, performing
enzyme deactivation, performing
centrifugation, performing washing, performing
drying, performing
grinding, and performing sieving so as to obtain the tapioca flour. On the basis of different heat treatments, a
reagent and an
enzyme preparation are selected to remove related components of the tapioca flour, the digestibility of the prepared tapioca flour presents different
digestion change difference trends by utilizing a
combined treatment method, the content of
resistant starch in the tapioca flour subjected to
steaming and deep-frying treatment is remarkably increased, and the content of the
resistant starch in the tapioca flour subjected to
steaming and deep-frying treatment is remarkably increased. And the tapioca flour subjected to water boiling treatment can significantly improve the content of fast-
digestible starch, and shows different properties and qualities. Compared with physical and chemical means, the method has the
advantage that the content of
resistant starch of cassava after heat treatment is obviously changed.
