Effects of microwave and conventional heating on physicochemical, digestive, and structural properties of debranched quinoa starch-oleic acid complexes with different water addition.

This study demonstrated that conventional water-bath heating was better than microwave heating in increasing digestion resistance, improving the short-range and long-range molecular order, and promoting the formation of DQS-OA. With an increase in water addition, the influence of microwave or water-bath treatment on the properties of DQS-OA became greater. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.
