Investigation of ultrasound-assisted starch acetylation by single- and dual- frequency ultrasound based on rheology modelling, non-isothermal reaction kinetics, and flow/acoustic simulation

To achieve wheat starch acetylation (AC) with a high degree of substitution (DS), the acetylation process was carried out using various ultrasonication frequencies, including 25 kHz, 40 kHz, and 25 + 40 kHz. In the second step, wheat starch's ultrasound-assisted acetylation (UAA) is simulated u...

description To achieve wheat starch acetylation (AC) with a high degree of substitution (DS), the acetylation process was carried out using various ultrasonication frequencies, including 25 kHz, 40 kHz, and 25 + 40 kHz. In the second step, wheat starch's ultrasound-assisted acetylation (UAA) is simulated using various approaches including the rheology models, non-isothermal reaction kinetics, and flow/acoustic modelling. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation solves the non-linear acoustic governing equation to determine the flow field and the amount of delivered ultrasound energy. The acetylated starch increased peak and final viscosity, with the highest values observed for the 25 + 40 kHz frequency than other single frequencies (25 kHz and 40 kHz). The viscosity of the starch is specified based on the experimental data using Herschel–Bulkley, power law, and Casson rheology models. According to differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis, the gelatinization parameters and enthalpy of gelatinization (ΔHgel), were found to be lower in acetylated starches at the frequency of 25 + 40 kHz compared to those at frequencies of 25 kHz and 40 kHz, as well as native starches (NS). Moreover, the gelatinization process is examined by implementing the non-isothermal reaction kinetics to obtain the activation energy and reaction order. Based on the results obtained, implementing sonication at 25 kHz reduces the activation energy by 70.3 % compared to native starch. However, the same parameter is obtained to be 69.9 % and 67.1 % for the application of 40 and 25 + 40 kHz transducers, respectively. Additionally, during the sonication treatment, the yield shear stress increases between 24.1 and 31.8 %, based on the applied frequency. Morphology analysis determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that the surfaces and small granules underwent more damage in acetylated starches at frequencies of 25 kHz and 40 kHz. However, in acetylated starches at 25 + 40 kHz, the larger granules were more affected than the smaller ones.
