This invention discloses a clean modification process for yam
starch with high slow-
digestible starch content, belonging to the field of clean
starch modification technology. It aims to solve the problems of existing modification processes relying on exogenous additives, high costs, and difficulty in balancing
starch digestibility and stability. This invention uses fresh yam as
raw material and obtains a co-
precipitation system retaining endogenous
mucoprotein through
isoelectric point sedimentation. Based on this, vacuum alternating pulsed steam treatment is used, utilizing
pressure difference and thermal effects to promote the migration of endogenous proteins at the starch particle interface and construct a stable
composite structure. Subsequently, annealing is performed under
high humidity conditions to induce ordered rearrangement of molecular chains. This process, without adding exogenous substances, precisely controls the starch structure, significantly increases the slow-
digestible starch content, and improves the
processing stability of the product. It has advantages such as being green and clean, highly safe, and highly functional.
