The kinetics of preparation of amylodextrin (Lintner starch) was studied at
50 C as 35% rice-starch slurry in 1.0 M HCl. Based both on recovery of amy
lodextrin and amount of solubilized starch, under low and intermediate-high
gelatinization temperature (GT), the amorphous fractions in two waxy and s
ix non-waxy rice starches were corroded within 2 h of hydrolysis, after whi
ch the hydrolysis rate decreased. The change in slope was more pronounced i
n low-GT starches than in intermediate-high-GT starches. After 12-14 h, a t
hird stage was noted, wherein an increase in hydrolysis rate was observed.
This is possibly due to partial gelatinization of the amylodextrin and subs
equent hydrolysis. Scale preparation from intermediate-high amylose-content
rices for 18 h yielded 60-75% amylodextrin. Recovery of amylodextrin in bo
th experiments was consistently higher from intermediate-high GT starch tha
n from low-GT starch; amylose content had no effect. Differential scanning
colorimetry revealed the temperature and enthalpy of gelatinization to be l
ower in the 18-h amylodextrin than in the native starch, but temperature wa
s higher than 50 C. Mayonnaise prepared at 50 C (where aqueous gel of the 1
8-h hydrolysis amylodextrin of non-waxy flour and starch replaced 50% of th
e fat) was satisfactory and better than that obtained using raw rice starch
.
