Notes:
Starchy networks within mungbean starch vermicelli and rice flour noodles are characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, mild acid hydrolysis, and gel permeation studies. In these products, native starch structures disappeared but new crystalline organizations were found. An amylopectin-based crystallinity was evident from its B-type diffraction pattern, melting endotherm at 50°C and high susceptibility towards mild acid hydrolysis. In addition, amylose-based structures were present either in the complexed form (V-type) in rice flour noodles, or in the retrograded form (B-type) in both pasta-like products. These latter crystallites were highly resistant towards mild acid hydrolysis and melted at high temperatures. Both glutenfree pasta-like products exhibited good cooking behavior which can be attributed to these amylose networks.
