EFFECT OF MINERAL SALTS ON THE THERMAL HOMOLYTIC DECOMPOSITION OF STARCH

Cornstarch, waxy cornstarch, potato starch and amylopectin were roasted for 1 hour at 300^oC with 10% (w/w) admixture of one of NaCl, NaNO₃, KCl, KNO₃, MgC_l2, and Mg(NO₃)₂. Addition of these salts affects, to a different extent, the number of free radicals thermally generated from polysaccharides. Free radicals are either O- or C-type. Regardless the mode of application of salts on polysaccharides and salt free radical count is usually negligible. Thus, if such salts are the sole ingredients to starch their presence produces no harm in terms of the formation of free radicals at temperatures usually applied in food processing.

W latach 2022-2024 kwartalnik naukowy Polish Journal of Food and Nutrition Sciences realizuje projekt nr RCN/SP/0520/2021/1 finansowany ze środków budżetu państwa – Ministerstwo Edukacji i Nauki w ramach programu „Rozwój czasopism naukowych”. Dofinansowanie wynosi 120 000 zł. W ramach projektu podejmowane są działania zmierzające do podniesienia poziomu praktyk wydawniczych i edytorskich, zwiększenia wpływu czasopism na rozwój nauki oraz utrzymania się czasopism w międzynarodowym obiegu naukowym.

In the years 2022-2024, the scientific quarterly Polish Journal of Food and Nutrition Sciences accomplishes a project no. RCN/SP/0520/2021/1 financed from the state budged – Ministry of Education and Science Republic of Poland in the framework of a program “Development of scientific journals”. The financing amounts to 120,000 PLN. The program aims at improving the level of publishing and editing practices, increasing the impact of scientific journals on science development, and extending the international range of scientific journals.
