The invention discloses low-
glycemic-index
starch and a
processing method thereof, and belongs to the field of
starch modification
processing. The preparation method comprises the following steps: adding a proper amount of deionized water into
starch to prepare a starch
emulsion, uniformly stirring, regulating the pH value to 6.0 by using a
citric acid buffer solution, carrying out
microwave treatment on the starch
emulsion under the condition that the power is 700-900W, regulating the pH value to 6.5 by using the
citric acid buffer solution, adding 40000U / g of high-temperature-resistant alpha-
amylase, carrying out enzymolysis, and carrying out high-pressure treatment; adjusting the pH value to 5.0 by using a
citric acid buffer solution, adding 8U / mL of
pullulanase, reacting, and degrading
enzyme activity in a high-temperature sterilization pot; and standing, naturally cooling, carrying out low-temperature aging treatment, centrifuging, removing supernatant, dehydrating,
drying, crushing and sieving to obtain the low-
glycemic-index starch. The influence of starch aging on the food GI index can be fully utilized, and the GI index of the product is reduced. And the production process is simple, low in cost and low in
energy consumption. The starch has the characteristics of high
resistant starch content and
low glycemic index.
