RESUMO
The type 3 resistant starch (RS3) is beneficial for blood glucose management. A high quality RS3 was provided and its formation mechanism after calcium ion (Ca2+) treatment was investigated in this study. The metabolomics, structure and digestion properties were evaluated. Metabolomics was performed by untargeted UHPLC-Q-TOF/MS, and a total of 11 significantly different metabolites was found. The NMR, ATR-FTIR, and XRD results showed that the degree of double helix decreased from 5.34 to 1.07, crystallinity decreased from 33.58 % to 19.88 %, and the amorphous region increased from 69.76 % to 78.33 %. Large particle polymers were observed by SEM on the granule surface of starch with Ca2+ treatment. Digestion test showed that Ca2+ increased the RS3 from 9.70 % to 22.26 %. The result indicated that Ca2+ induced the formation of chelates between Ca2+ and -OH, promoted the RS3 content and regulated carbohydrate metabolism. The study provided theoretical basis for producing low-glycemic black bean foods.
