Compositional changes in whole grain flours as a result of solvent washing and their effect on starch amylolysis
چکیده انگلیسی

Whole grain flour is used most often as raw material for fuel alcohol production. However, the dry-milling process and the non-starch components of flours may impact the enzymatic hydrolysis of starch to glucose. The particle size distributions of flours prepared from whole grain triticale, barley, wheat and corn were determined and the effects of pre-washing with water, hexane, 100% ethanol or 50% ethanol on flour composition and the amylolysis of starch were studied. Scanning electron microscopy of the flours revealed that grinding grain to pass a sieve with an aperture size of 0.5 mm effectively released starch granules from endosperm cells. Pre-washing with water or 50% ethanol decreased the protein, phytic acid and total free phenolic contents of flours and, except for corn flour, increased starch content. Pre-washing with water reduced the ash contents of all flours, and reduced the β-glucan content of barley flour by 98%. Pre-washing with hexane or 100% ethanol removed much of the lipid from the flours. Pentosan content was affected only slightly by any of the pre-washing treatments. Each of the pre-washings was associated with a significant change, positive or negative, in the extent of α-amylolysis for one or more of the flours. The degree of α-amylolysis in unwashed flours ranged from 22.4 to 26.1%, and from 21.6 to 28.1% in pre-washed flours, varying with flour source and solvent treatment. Pre-washing of flours increased the degree of hydrolysis achieved with sequential α-amylase/amyloglucosidase treatment, with values ranging from 61.4 to 72.8% in pre-washed flours compared to 56.2-57.8% in unwashed flours. The highest degrees of hydrolysis were achieved with 50% ethanol pre-washing (72.4 and 72.8% for triticale and barley flours, respectively). The degree of α-amylase/amyloglucosidase hydrolysis obtained for isolated starches ranged from 83.7 to 93.0%. This study demonstrated clearly that the partial removal of non-starch components from whole grain flours by solvent pre-washing enhanced the degree of amylolysis of starch.
