옥수수 전분유의 Annealing 조건이 인산가교 저항 전분의 형성에 미치는 영향

Effects of Annealing Conditions of Corn Starch Slurry on the Formation of Phosphorylated Cross-linked Resistant Starch

옥수수 전분의 인산화 가교반응에 의한 RS4 제조 시 최적 annealing 조건을 검토하였다. 전분유에 NaOH를 0.9%, 1.2%, 1.5%/st.ds의 농도가 되게 첨가하고 복합인산염(STMP/STPP 혼합)을 이용하여 인산화 가교반응 할 경우 NaOH 농도가 높을수록 반응 초기에 RS 함량이 빠르게 증가되었으나 NaOH 농도에 상관없이 반응 12시간 후에는 비슷한 RS 함량을 나타내었다. 전분유의 Annealing 처리는 인산화 가교반응 전에 실시하였다. 전분유를 pH 2-10, 온도 $40-60^{\circ}C$, 0-14시간으로 처리한 후 인산화 가교반응을 하였다. Annealing 처리시 pH가 낮을수록 RS 함량이 높아지는 결과를 보였으며 pH 2에서 annealing 온도 $50^{\circ}C$, 2시간 annealing에서 최고의 RS 함량을 나타내었다. 따라서 최적 인산화 가교반응 조건은 먼저 pH 2.0, $50^{\circ}C$에서 2시간 annealing 처리를 한 후 황산나트륨 농도 10%/st.ds, NaOH 농도 1.2%/st.ds 조건에서 12시간 인산화 가교반응을 행하는 것으로 생각된다. RS 함량은 인산염 투입량이 증가함에 따라 직선적으로 증가하였다. 본 연구결과에 의한 최적조건을 활용하여 복합인산염 10%/st.ds의 농도로 RS4를 제조한 결과 RS 함량은 72.3% 였으며 인의 함량은 0.36%/st.ds로 한국 식품첨가물 공전에 적합하여 식품용 소재로 활용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

The optimum annealing conditions of corn starch slurry were studied for RS4 type resistant starch production by phosphorylated cross-linking. When a corn starch slurry was cross-linked by using phosphate salts (STMP/STPP mixture) in the presence of 0.9%, 1.2% and 1.5% NaOH/st.ds, a high concentration of NaOH resulted in a rapid increase of the RS contents at the early reaction stage. However, similar RS contents were obtained after 12 h of cross-linking regardless of NaOH concentrations. The annealing treatment was conducted under various conditions such as pH between 2-10, temperature $40-60^{\circ}C$, time 0-14 h followed by phosphorylated cross-linking. The lower slurry pH was for the annealing treatment, the higher RS contents were obtained after cross-linking. When the slurry annealed for various period of time and temperature, a maximal amount of RS was formed after 2 h of annealing at $50^{\circ}C$ of annealing temperature of the starch slurry (pH 2.0). Therefore, an optimal annealing conditions at pH 2.0 and $50^{\circ}C$ for 2 h were proposed under the cross-linking conditions of sodium sulfate 10%/st.ds, NaOH 1.2%/st.ds and 12 h of the reaction time. The RS contents were linearly increased with the increase of phosphate salt addition. The RS4 prepared under the optimal conditions contained RS 72.3% and its phosphorus content was 0.36%/st.ds, which was below the limit (0.4%/st.ds) of modified starch by Korea Food Additives Code.
