Abstract
This study investigated the effect of stearic acid, linoleic acid, and lysophosphatidylcholine on
complex formation and physicochemical properties of bambara starch in comparison with potato
starch. The complexation index reached maximum at 2% lipid concentration. Bambara starch
complexed better with stearic acid than with linoleic acid and lysophosphatidylcholine. A similar
trend was observed for potato starch but to a lesser extent. All lipids significantly reduced the
peak and setback viscosities of bambara starch, but increased the final viscosity. Pasting of
bambara and potato starches with lipids resulted in the formation of type-I V-amylose complexes,
with melting temperatures ranging from 98 to 102°C. X-ray diffraction of these complexes
showed the crystalline V-amylose pattern with a major peak at 2Q ¼ 19.9° and minor peaks at
2Q ¼ 7.4° and 12.9°. Modification of bambara starch with lipids resulted in reduced digestibility,
suggesting their potential application in formulating foods for the management of diabetes.
