Assembling starch granules into 3D shapes could achieve the same thickening effect in foods with up to 50 per cent fewer granules, reducing the calories and carbohydrates without sacrificing texture
Building tiny sheets and cages from starch particles turns them into super-thickeners that could reduce the calorie content of foods.at Cornell University in New York and his colleagues have found that the amount of starch in foods can be reduced without sacrificing texture by arranging starch particles into special shapes.particles thicken food because they swell up when they are heated.
Instead, working with starch particles extracted from amaranth grain, he and his colleagues devised a way to assemble them into three-dimensional shapes by. The starch particles arranged themselves around oil drops, and then the researchers removed the two liquids through a combination of heating and freeze-drying.
The team discovered that these starch structures performed so well as thickening agents that they could be used to halve the amount of starch typically needed to thicken foods.at the University of Auckland in New Zealand says that using these granules as building blocks for the new class of hollow starch structures is very innovative and could make starches a big part of designing future foods.
