There is a need to explore the influence of particle size of sweet potato flour on physicochem. properties and in vitro starch digestibility of gluten free sweet potato noodles.The aim of this work was to examine the influence of purple-fleshed sweet potato flour (PFSPF) having different particle size distribution (355 μm to 75μ m) on physicochem. properties and in vitro starch digestibility of gluten-free purple sweet potato noodles.Pasting properties and sugar contents were pos. correlated toward the finest particle fraction.The hardness of noodles was pos. and significantly correlated to the finest particle size fraction.Sweet potato flour (SPF) noodles prepared with particle size of 75 μm retained lower hardness 5.74 N.An abrupt increase in yellowness was observed with decreasing particle size that might be attributed to the reduction of protein.The results of FTIR suggested that with the reduction of particle size, protein and carbohydrates decreased that much associated with crystallization and retrogradation of starch.Among all the amino acids, aspartic acid and glutamic acid were observed to be more abundant, i.e. approx. 13.33 and 29.05‰, resp.In this way, PFSPF with particle size 75 μm exhibited significant application potential for producing gluten free noodles due to high resistant starch and lower hardness.It may be concluded that particle sizes of sweet potato flour influenced pasting properties, textural characteristics, sugar contents, protein contents, amino acid contents, carbohydrate contents of prepared noodles.
