The invention relates to a method for optimizing gelatinization and rheological properties of
wheat starch based on addition of modified
pectin, and belongs to the technical field of
food processing and
starch modification. In order to solve the technical problems that existing
wheat starch is low in gelatinization temperature and poor in
thermal stability, and rheological properties are difficult to accurately regulate and control, the modified
pectin with low esterification degree, high molecular weight and high amidation degree is prepared through a specific process, and natural
pectin is subjected to low-temperature deesterification and segmented amidation treatment, so that the modified pectin is obtained. Controlling the esterification degree to be lower than 10%, the molecular weight to be greater than 100 kDa and the amidation degree to be higher than 50%, and then forming a three-dimensional composite
network structure with
wheat starch according to the
mass ratio of (1: 4)-(1: 9) through high-speed shearing and ultrasonic synergistic treatment. According to the method, the
starch gelatinization temperature is remarkably increased, the
thermal stability and
shear thinning recovery capacity of a
system are improved, the method is suitable for improving the quality of cooked wheaten
food products such as noodles and baked products, and the texture characteristics and
processing adaptability of the products can be effectively improved.
