the desired fibre level, and, in some cases, the desired structure–
function claims.
The incorporation of RS in baked products, pasta products and
beverages imparts improved textural properties and health bene-
fits (
Premavalli, Roopa, & Bawa, 2006
). A panel rated 40% TDF RS
loaf cakes as best for flavor, grittiness moisture perception, and
tenderness 24 h after baking. Based on an evaluation by a trained
sensory panel of toasted waffles for initial crispness, crispness after
3 min, moistness and overall texture, RS waffle showed greater
crispness than control or traditional fibre. RS can improve expan-
sion in extruded cereals and snacks. RS may also be used in thick-
ened, opaque health beverages in which insoluble fibre is desired.
Insoluble fibres generally require suspension and add opacity to
beverages. Compared with insoluble fibres, RS imparts a less gritty
mouth feel and masks flavors less (
Sajilata et al., 2006
). Bread con-
taining 40% TDF RS had greater loaf volume and better cell struc-
ture compared with traditional fibres tested (
Baghurst, Baghurst,
& Record, 1996
).
Hydrolyzed starches (those which retain their granular struc-
ture and essentially behave like unmodified starches in undergoing
gelatinization on heating), which are also referred to as thin boiling
starches, are also a form of RS. The advantage of this starch is the
high concentration, which can be used as a paste of low viscosity,
and its ability to set as a firm gel (
Seib & Kyungsoo, 1999
). Cross-
linked starches of RS4 type, based on maize, tapioca and potato,
have been useful in formulations needing pulpy texture, smooth-
ness, flowability, low pH storage, and high temperature storage
(
Sajilata & Singhal, 2005
).
Baixauli, Salvador, Martinez-Cervera, and Fiszman (2008)
stud-
ied the instrumental texture characteristics of muffins with added
resistant starch and noted that its addition produced a softer tex-
ture: the samples were less hard, elastic and cohesive, reflecting
a more tender structure; these effects were more evident at higher
concentrations of resistant starch.
Arimi, Duggan, O’Riordan, O’Sullivan, and Lyng (2008)
have suc-
cessfully replaced most or all of the fat in imitation cheese with
resistant starch without adversely affecting meltability or hardness
and conferring the well-established benefit of resistant starch as a
functional fibre. In addition, low-fat, starch-containing imitation
cheese has been demonstrated to have the potential to expand dur-
ing microwave heating. Since this type of imitation cheese expands
on microwave heating, it can be presented as a stand-alone snack,
pre-expanded or as a home expansion product.
8. New sources of production
There is considerable opportunity for future developments,
especially for tailor-made starch derivatives with multiple modifi-
cations, although the problem of obtaining legislative approval for
the use of novel starch derivatives in processed food formulations
is still under debate. Nevertheless, it can be predicted that new
ventures in starch modifications and their diverse applications will
continue to be of great interest in applied research (
Rudrapatnam
& Tharanathan, 2005
).
More recent innovation has seen the development of insoluble,
resistant maltodextrins with a functionality similar to that of resis-
tant starches (
Buttriss & Stokes, 2008
).
Chemically-modified starch derivatives, for example, phosphor-
ylated starches, which are also non-digestible, have been catego-
rized as RS, similar to polydextrose or resistant oligosaccharides
(
Rudrapatnam & Tharanathan, 2005
). Esterification of native starch
using citric acid resulted in chemically-modified starch with an RS
content that depended on the degree of esterification. The produc-
tion of this modified starch is relatively simple, and good results
regarding the RS content can be achieved independent of the
source of starch so that a range of RS-products can be produced,
suitable for various foods. The results show that the RS content
in toast bread could be increased by approximately 3%, when
7.5% citrate starch is added, compared to non-fortified bread
(
Wepner et al., 1999
). The use of citric acid for esterification seems
to be evident as it rated as nutritionally harmless compared to
other substances used for starch derivatisation (
Jyothi, Moorthy,
Sreekumar, & Rajasekharan, 2007
).
Powdered preparations enriched in resistant starch (RS) have
been obtained from native and lintnerized (prolonged acid treat-
ment) banana starches by consecutive autoclaving/cooling treat-
ments. The autoclaved samples had a higher RS content than
their parental counterparts, but the chemical modification (lintner-
ization process) allowed development of higher RS proportions
(19%, dry matter basis). These RS-enriched products appear suit-
able for the formulation of functional foods (
Aparicio-Saguilán
et al., 2005
).
Bello-Pérez, González-Soto, Sánchez-Rivero, Gutiérrez-Meraza,
and Vargas-Torres (2006)
reported that extrusion can be used to
elaborate products with a higher RS content that their native coun-
terparts. The native starches of unripe banana and mango had a
purity higher than 90%, with a 37% amylose content in banana
starch and 27.5% in mango starch. No effect was observed in RS for-
mation, which was 5.7% for banana starch (with more amylose)
and 9.7% for mango starch.
Reaction conditions were optimized to increase the content of
resistant starch in adlay starch using esterification with glutaric
acid, and the physicochemical properties of the prepared gluta-
rate starches were investigated. Glutarate starches with lower
crystallinity than raw starch had a similar RS content before
and after heating with excess water. This glutarate starch could
be used to enhance the textural properties and health benefits
of low-moisture products, such as crackers and cookies, due to
its low solubility and digestibility and heat stability (
Kim et al.,
2008
).
Wheat bran starch isolated from commercial wheat brans using
a wet-milling process was shown to have unique properties com-
pared to commercial wheat endosperm starch. Starch recovery
was 90% and the starch fraction contained a low level of protein
(0.15%). The more resistant starch content and lower retrograda-
tion rate are properties that present an opportunity to make wheat
bran starch a new functional ingredient for the food industry (
Xie,
Cui, Li, & Tsao, 2008
).
9. Conclusion
Fibre consumption has been reduced significantly in western
society and is far below the recommended level. The main reason
has been the change in life style, which has promoted a significant
reduction in fruit, vegetables and legume consumption. With the
aim of increasing fibre intake in the diet, many fibre-enriched
foods have been developed. Resistant starch (RS) is a recently rec-
ognized source of fibre and is classified as a fibre component with
