Starch samples from ten mung bean cultivars grown in china were isolated, and their morphology, physicochemical, thermal, and pasting properties were evaluated. The objectives of the study were to investigate the starch properties and processing characteristics of different mung bean varieties, and to establish the basic foundation of improving the functionality of mung beans and their starch grown in the region. The mung bean starches showed the kidney-shaped, elliptical, small spherical and dome-shaped granules, and the starches granule size varied between 5 and 40 μm. Total starch content, amylose content, solubility, and swelling power ranged from 54.73% to 57.99%, 40.44% to 41.82%, 13.72% to 17.67%, and 17.27% to 20.55%, respectively. The pasting properties were determined using a rapid visco analyzer, and various mung bean starches exhibited different pasting profiles. Different starches differed in transition temperatures (T o , T p , and T c ), gelatinization temperature range (ΔT r ), and enthalpy of gelatinization (ΔH) according to differential scanning calorimeter analysis. Hydration coefficient, degree of gelatinization, and hardness of mung bean varieties ranged from 51.97% to 84. 46%, 62.99% to 95.11%, and 26.07 N to 112.11 N, respectively. This study indicated that starches separated from different mung bean cultivars possess different physicochemical characteristics, and various mung beans cultivars showed diverse processing properties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
