Starch in the Fruit and Vegetable Industry


Plants generate starch and other carbohydrates
Photosynthesis Starch-containing Fruits and Vegetables are: Apples and Pears Tropical Fruits (Bananas, Maracuja, etc.) Some stone fruits such as Nectarines, Peaches, etc Some Vegetables such as Carrots During ripening, the starch is degraded by the fruits own enzyme to glucose

Content of starch in apples and pears


The content of starch varies from variety to variety But the content of starch decreases over the ripening Early harvested fruits can contain up to 3% starch (30 g per kg fruits) High acid fruits contain more starch than low acid level fruits Old juice apples (often old varieties) have a higher starch content than new table fruits (e.g. Golden)

Iodine Color - Facts


Different chain lengths => different colors All color changes occur between Dp12 & Dp45 Six glucose units are required per iodine Retrogradation occurs with Dp150 - Dp200 oligos. Red iodine color is not a danger sign, merely an indication that the saccharide profile contains more Dp20-30 oligosaccharides (increasing peak dextrose).
