Quinoa wet-milling: Effect of steeping conditions on starch recovery and quality

2019

Cereal starches play an important role in the food and non-food industries because of their low cost, availability, and ability to impart a wide range of techno-functional properties. The main objective of this research was to isolate starch, germ, protein, and fiber components from quinoa by a wet-milling procedure. The effect of steeping time and temperature on starch recovery and its quality was investigated. The quinoa steeping conditions, such as time (1, 5, and 9 h) and temperature (30, 40, and 50 °C), in SO2 solution with lactic acid were investigated using a 32 factorial design in order to optimize the starch separation and its quality. The effect of steeping conditions on starch wa…
