Abstract

We previously suggested that the LPC (lysolecithin) fraction of the native starch contained the stable LPC (St-LPC) and changeable LPC (Ch-LPC). In gelled starch, LPC extracted with hot water-saturated n-butanol (HOT) increased again. Therefore, we investigated the conversion of Ch-LPC or LPC of the starch granule surface to St-LPC using a Rapid Visco Analyzer programmed for two-cycle heating. When the gelled starch was reheated to 95°C, the amount of HOT-LPC extracted from the paste was remarkably decreased, whereas the LPC extracted at room temperature (RT) was increased. Thus, HOT- and RT-LPC represent St- and Ch-LPC, respectively. The fatty acid composition of the St-LPC contained a higher proportion of palmitic acid (53.6%) than linoleic acid (27.2%), and the proportions of fatty acids were almost the same as those of gelatinized starch in the first cycle. These results indicate that St-LPC was not newly formed during the gelling and reheating of gels.
