Implication

Laboratory characterization reveals high amylose content and heat-stable paste viscosity in Shorea robusta seed starch, suggesting potential utility in food and industrial applications.

Key Points

To isolate, purify, and characterize the structural, chemical, and pasting properties of starch derived from sal (Shorea robusta) seed cake.
Extracted, bleached, and purified starch from sal seed cake.
Characterized granule morphology and dimensions using scanning electron microscopy.
Measured chemical constituents (nitrogen, phosphorus, lipids, amylose) alongside swelling, solubility, water-binding capacity, and pasting viscosity during gelatinization.
Granules displayed round to oval shapes with diameters spanning 3.5 to 12.3 μm.
Sal starch contained higher levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, lipids, amylose, and water-binding capacity relative to other forest-derived starches.
The starch exhibited high solubility despite restricted swelling, and paste viscosity remained completely stable without breakdown during continued cooking after gelatinization.
