Microstructural Changes and In Vitro Digestibility of Maize Starch Treated with Different Calcium Compounds Used in Nixtamalization Processes

Maize starch dispersions (5 g/100 mL water) are treated with Ca(OH)2 (0.2 g/100 g starch), emulating the traditional nixtamalization process, and with CaCl2 or Ca(CO)3 (1.0g/100 g starch) salts, emulating ecological nixtamalization processes. The effect of these calcium compounds upon the in vitro d...
