The effect of bean starch oxidation at different active chlorine concentrations (0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5%) on the physicochemical, crystallinity, pasting and morphological properties of starch was investigated. The carbonyl content, carboxyl content, starch colour, swelling power, solubility, gel hardness, X-ray crystallinity, pasting properties, gelatinisation characteristics and morphology of the starches were evaluated. The bean starch oxidised with 0.5% active chlorine had the characteristic of a slightly crosslinked starch. As compared to the native and 0.5% active chlorine-oxidised starches, active chlorine at 1.0% and 1.5% increased the carbonyl content, carboxyl content and solubility of the starches. Moreover, these concentrations of active chlorine decreased the swelling power, gel hardness, relative crystallinity, breakdown, peak viscosity and setback, as compared to the native and 0.5% active chlorine-oxidised starches. The starch granules oxidised with 1.5% active chlorine had imperfections in their structure, and its surface appears to be rougher than the other granules.
