Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a pH-sensitive starch-based microcapsule encapsulating a fat-soluble substance and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the field of preparation of starch-based hydrogel microcapsules. The method of the present disclosure comprises performing acid hydrolysis on starch to obtain acid-hydrolyzed carboxymethyl starch, mixing the acid-hydrolyzed carboxymethyl starch with xanthan gum to obtain a compounded solution of starch and colloid, adding an emulsifier and the fat-soluble substance, emulsifying to obtain an emulsion, and drying to obtain the microcapsule.

Abstract: The present disclosure disclosed is method for improving the transparency of starch liquefaction, and belongs to the field of biologically modified starch. The method changes the molecular structure of the starch liquefaction product by adding a 1,4-?-glucan branching enzyme from Rhodothermus obamensis, so the molecular structure has a smaller branched chain and a higher branching degree, thereby achieving the purpose of improving transparency and stability. The method comprises the steps of dissolving a starch liquefaction product in water according to a certain concentration to prepare an aqueous solution of the starch liquefaction product, and adding a 1,4-?-glucan branching enzyme to react at a certain temperature for a period of time, so as to improve the transparency of the starch liquefaction product during storage. The method provides a new idea for improving the stability of starch liquefaction products, and has great potential and application prospects.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for modifying starch to slow down the digestion rate of modified starch. The present invention utilizes two-stage GBE treatment to convert the long straight-chain starch molecules into highly branched molecules with compact structures so as to decrease the digestion rate of the starch. During the two-stage treatment, granular starch was first treated with GBE, the treated starch was gelatinized in boiling water, and the gelatinized starch was treated with GBE for a second time, leading to an enhanced effect of GBE modification. Compared with the one-staged GBE modification, the two-stage GBE modification can further increase the content of slowly digestible starch in the modified starch and thus decrease the digestion rate of starch.
