Effects of annealing temperature and time on the structural and physicochemical properties of sweet potato flour hydrogels

The physicochemical properties of sweet potato flour (SPF) can be modified by annealing. Native SPF was annealed in deionized water at a flour-to-water ratio of 1:3 (w/v) and temperatures of 50, 55, 60, or 65 °C for either 12 or 24 h. Annealed SPF maintained the A-type crystalline region and display...

description The physicochemical properties of sweet potato flour (SPF) can be modified by annealing. Native SPF was annealed in deionized water at a flour-to-water ratio of 1:3 (w/v) and temperatures of 50, 55, 60, or 65 °C for either 12 or 24 h. Annealed SPF maintained the A-type crystalline region and displayed increased relative crystallinity, increased pasting temperature, and decreased breakdown. SPF gels showed enhanced hardness together with better springiness when SPF was annealed at low temperature/long time or high temperature/short time. Annealed SPF hydrogel sheets contained larger, more uniform, and smoother pores than native ones. Noticeably, hydrogel sheets made of SPF annealed at 50 °C for 24 h exhibited advanced fracture strain from 93% to 176%. Overall, this work showed that annealing could modulate the characteristics of SPR hydrogels, which may widen the extent of applications in food industries. However, the annealing conditions need to be optimized.
