Abstract
The present disclosure relates to inhibited porous granular starches having desirably high porosity. One aspect thereof is a method for making an inhibited porous granular starch product, that includes hydrolyzing a granular starch feed to a degree of hydrolysis of 20-75% using one or more enzymes including one or more of a glucoamylase and an alpha-amylase; wherein the inhibited porous granular starch product has a porosity of 10%~50% as measured by change in water uptake as compared to the granular starch feed and a sedimentation volume in the range of 20 mL/g to SO mL/g. Another aspect of the disclosure is inhibited porous granular starch product having a water uptake of at least 1.0 g water/g starch and a sedimentation volume in the range of 20-80 mL/g. inhibited porous granular starches can be advantaged over conventional starches in that they can have increased viscosity at lower mass loadings.
