Physicochemical changes in starch during deep-fat frying of a molded corn starch patty
1997

Corn starch patties with an initial moisture content of 46.5% (wet basis) were fried in oil at 165C. The results indicated that oil content in the patty ranged from 10.6 to 12.5% in the crust region, and 1.5 to 3.9% in the core region. Starch gelatinization was significantly dependent on frying time and location of starch in the patty. Both, water absorption and water solubility indices of starch increased with frying time with the starch contained in the crust exhibiting much higher water absorption ability and water solubility than that contained in the core region. Measurements of 'blue value' (the intensity of blue color of starch solution upon addition of iodide ion) and the absorbance spectra of starch samples indicated that amylose-lipid complexes were present in the fried materials. The degree of starch complexation was 10.9 to 13.2% in the crust and 0.3 to 6.6% in the core region. The puncture force on the surface of a food fried for no more than 5 min was close to that in the food center although a significant increase in force was required for the crust region during the later stages of frying.
