摘要
The digestibility of starch-based foods is receiving increased attention. To date, the full understanding of how including L-theanine (THE) can modify the structural and digestive properties of starch has not been fully achieved. Here, we investigated the multi-scale structure and digestibility of maize starch (MS) regulated by THE in ultrasound field and the molecular interactions. Ultrasound disrupted the structure of starch granules and opened the molecular chains of starch, promoting increased THE binding and producing more low-order or disordered crystal structures. In this case, the aggregation of starch molecules, especially amylose, was reduced, leading to increased mobility of the systems. As a result, the apparent viscosity, G', and G" were significantly decreased, which retarded the starch regeneration. Density functional theory calculations indicated that there were mainly non-covalent interactions between THE and MS, such as hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces. These interactions were the main factors contributing to the decrease in the short-range ordering, the helical structure, and the enthalpy change (Delta H) of MS. Interestingly, the rapidly digestible starch (RDS) content of THE modified MS (MS-THE-30) decreased by 17.89 %, while the resistant starch increased to 26.65 %. These results provide new strategies for the safe production of resistant starch.
