Abstract

See full text

A process for producing a starch comprises treating a feed starch that comprises amylopectin with glucanotransferase to produce a chain-extended starch, treating the chain-extended starch with a debranching enzyme to produce a starch product that comprises amylose fragments, crystallizing at least part of the starch product, heating the starch product in the presence of moisture, treating the starch product with alpha-amylase, and washing the starch product to remove at least some non-crystallized starch, wherein the degree of polymerization of the starch product is increased by increasing the amylose content of the feed starch or is decreased by decreasing the amylose content of the feed starch. The product of this process can have a relatively high total dietary fiber content, a relatively high heat resistance, or both.
