Abstract In the present work, the oxidized corn starch was prepared by using chlorine dioxide as novel oxidant. It was characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope (SEM), and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The main factors that affect the oxidation process were studied, and the oxidation degree of oxidized starch was determined by the carboxyl content and viscosity of the product. The results show that carboxyl groups are introduced into the starch chains successfully, and the oxidation reaction mainly carries out at the amorphous area. Compared with native starch, the light transmittance and anti-retrogradation of oxidized starch increase, whereas the viscosity reduces. The best oxidized starch can be obtained at the sodium chlorate dosage of 3%, hydrochloric acid 4%, and sulfuric acid 3% (all based on the initial starch weight), while the oxidation reaction is conducted at 50°C for 5 h.

This study examined the influence of different resistant starch (RS) varieties and conventional fibres on the efficiency of nutrient utilisation and intestinal fermentation in pigs. Thirty-six pigs (30 kg) were fed poultry meal-based diets supplemented with 10 % granular resistant corn starch (GCS), granular resistant potato starch (GPS), retrograded resistant corn starch (RCS), guar gum (GG) or cellulose for 36 d according to a completely randomised block design. Distal ileal and total tract recoveries were similar (P>0·05) among the RS varieties. Distal ileal starch recovery was higher (P < 0·05) in pigs consuming the RS diets (27–42 %) as compared with the control group (0·64 %). Consumption of GCS reduced (P < 0·05) apparent total tract digestibility and whole-body retention of crude protein in comparison with the control group. Consumption of GPS reduced (P < 0·05) total tract Ca digestibility and whole-body retention of Ca and P compared with the control group. However, consumption of RCS increased (P < 0·05) total tract Ca digestibility compared with the control group. Caecal butyrate concentration was increased (P < 0·05) following consumption of RCS and GG in comparison with the control group. Consumption of all the RS varieties reduced (P < 0·05) caecal indole concentrations compared with the control. Caecal butyrate concentrations were positively correlated (P < 0·05;r0·63–0·83) with thermal properties among the RS varieties. We conclude that nutrient utilisation and intestinal fermentation are differentially affected by the consumption of different RS varieties and types of fibres. Thermal properties associated with different RS varieties may be useful markers for developing RS varieties with specific functionality.

The blend films of ungelatinized and gelatinized starch/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) were prepared by solution casting method. Their morphologies and thermal properties were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). A droplet phase was observed in the blends containing ungelatinized starch and a laminated phase was observed in the blends containing gelatinized starch. For both ungelatinized and gelatinized starch/PVA blends the melting temperature (Tm) (210230) of PVA was detected, and the Tm of gelatinized starch/PVA blends was higher than that of the ungelatinized starch/PVA blends. TGA results showed that over the rst 300 the weight loss for ungelatinized starch/PVA blends was higher than that for gelatinized starch/PVA blends, however the gelatinized starch/PVA blends showed the greater weight loss after scanning up to 400. Different morphologies and thermal properties of two types of blends were attributed to the different hydrogen bonding interactions between starch and polyvinyl alcohol.
