Evaluation of physicochemical properties of starches of different cereals
Abstract
In this research project, the physicochemical and morphological characteristics of polysaccharides of oats, rice, barley, millet and corn were studied. The chemical composition was performed by proximate analysis, where, it was found the rice starch containing 0.49% ash, 2.71% protein and 96.79% carbohydrates, starch of barley was 0.76% ash, 2.85% protein and 96.38% carbohydrates, millet starch showed values of 0.92% ash, 2.98% protein and 96.09% carbohydrates, finally starch of corn 0.299% ash, protein 2,898% and 96,803% carbohydrate was found. In all starches, the same diffraction pattern, type A, was found, it was measured by X-ray diffraction. Evaluation by infrared spectroscopy showed no change between molecular starches. The thermal properties by DSC showed that millet starch has higher temperature values, initial, gelatinization and final. Morphologically, the starches showed differences, rice starch showed a polyhedral shape, in starches of oats and rice were observed lenticular shape, barley starch also showed spherical shapes, and in millet and maize, polyhedral and spherical forms were found.
