The invention discloses a
phenolic acid starch ester as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
food chemistry. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) adding
starch into water, heating, carrying out pre-gelatinization treatment, and dehydrating and
drying to obtain pre-gelatinized
starch; (2) mixing
phenolic acid, pre-gelatinized starch,
lipase, a
solid acid catalyst and a water absorbent in an
organic solvent, and reacting at 40-80 DEG C in combination with ultrasonic treatment to obtain a
phenolic acid starch ester turbid liquid; and (3) carrying out
solid-liquid separation on the phenolic acid starch ester turbid liquid to obtain the phenolic acid starch ester. According to the invention, ultrasonic treatment is utilized in the
lipase catalytic reaction process to promote dispersion of starch and improve the
enzyme activity, and the
solid acid catalyst and the water absorbent are combined to synergistically promote the increase of the reaction efficiency. The preparation method is efficient and safe, and starch sources are not limited; the prepared phenolic acid starch ester has good
biological activity, and has a good effect on preventing and treating metabolic diseases, especially diabetes and
obesity.
