Phosphorylated wheat starch (PWS) was prepared with sodium trimetaphosphate and sodium tripolyphosphate (99/1, w/w), and the modified starch gave 88.8% total dietary fibre by the Prosky method and 68.7% resistant starch (RS) by the Englyst method. The stability of the phosphate esters in aqueous sodium hydroxide was investigated and related to total dietary fibre and RS contents. The phosphorylated starch was slurried (40%, w/w) at 40°C for 4h at pH 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, and 12.0. The phosphorus content of the PWS decreased from 0.37% to 0.29% after treatment at pH 12.0, whereas only a slight decrease in phosphorus content occurred after treatments at pH 9.0-11.0. Despite the 22% decrease in total phosphorus content, total dietary fibre content and RS content of the alkali-treated PWS changed only slightly. ³¹P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy showed that after the alkali treatment at pH 12.0, cyclic monostarch monophosphate and monostarch diphosphate were not detectable and that the level of total monostarch monophosphate decreased from 0.077% to 0.067%. Conversely, distarch monophosphate increased from 0.17% to 0.20%, of [almost equal to]18%. The increase in distarch monophosphate (cross-linking) content after alkali treatment at pH 12.0 probably explained the retention of total dietary fibre and RS contents in the alkali-treated PWS.
