The aim ed of t his st udy was t o det erm ine t he effect of Heat Moist ure Treat m ent ( HMT) m et hod on
t he charact erist ics of local sweet pot at o st arch. Sweet pot at o st arch were isolat ed from t hree

variet ies, nam ely based on t heir flesh colour whit e, light yellow and purple. The nat ive sweet pot at o
st arch clasified int o t wo groups; non HMT groups and HMT groups. The nat ive sweet pot at o st arch
wit h HMT t reat m ent were adj ust ed to m oist ure cont ent of 25% and exposed t o HMT at 110 ° C for 3
h. The nat ive and t reat ed st arches were charact erized for st arch physicochem ical char act erist ics
espescially t ot al diet ary fibre ( TDF) which is increased significat ly.
Ke y w or ds: Heat Moist ure Treat m ent , sweet pot at oes, st arch.

I nt r oduct ion
Sweet pot at oes ( I pom ea bat at as L) is one of t he I ndonesian agricult ural pr oduct s t hat have high
product ion values wit h different variet ies t o be developed and ut ilized as int erm ediat e product s as dry
st arch which can be furt her processed by t he food processing indust ry and non - food indust ry.
However sweet pot at o st arch in t he m anufact ure of foodst uffs are oft en encount ered obst acles.
Therefore, t he necessary m odificat ions of sweet pot at o st arch by Heat Moist ure Treat m ent ( HMT) is
expect ed t o im prove physical and chem ical charact erist ics of t he st arch. Recent ly, st udies on t he
form ulat ion of sweet pot at o st arch noodles and sweet pot at o flour has been done. Yet som e t hings st ill
require furt her st udy include t he m odificat ion of sweet pot at o st arch in order t o obt ain t he sam e as
charact erist ic as wheat flour.
Nat ive st arch which is used as raw m at erial for som e product s such as noodle has som e weakness;
insoluble in cold wat er, longer cooking t im e, rigid past a- produced, and have low st abilit y. Modified
st arch is aim ed t o enhance st arch ut ilizat ion in food indust ry, m ore st able and has bet t er t ext ure.

Moreover t o increase gelat inizat ion t em perat ure and heat resist ance as well as it s viscosit y, it s need
m odificat ion. Principally, HMT is t he exposure of st arch t o higher t em perat ure, com m only above t he
gelat inizat ion t em perat ure, at very rest rict ed m oist ure con t ent ( 18- 27% ) ( Lilia et al, 1999) . HMT
m et hod is m ore nat ural and safe t o be applied com pared wit h chem ical m et hods. HMT is lead t o
decrease st arch solubilit y com pare t o nat ive st rach. Furt herm ore m any researchs have been
est ablished in relat ion t o st arch solubilit y. HMT changes t he m olecular st ruct ur e of st arch ( Jacobs and
Delcour, 1998; Collado and Corke, 1999; St ut e 1992; Singh et al, 2005) . This process could lead t o
produce slowly digest ed st arch t hat is seem s t o be associat ed wit h lower glycem ik inde x value.
Therefore t he general obj ect ive of t his st udy is invest igat ed prot ein, fat , t ot al diet ary fibre ( TDF) ,
wat er cont ent and ash of nat ive and t reat ed st arch of local variet ies differ in t heir flesh colour.

Three variet ies of sweet pot at oes differ in t heir flesh colour ( light cream , yellow, and purple) were
collect ed in Saree, Aceh Besar.
St a r ch e x t r a ct ion
Sweet pot at o t ubers were washed, peeled off, grat ed and ext ract ed using dist illed wat er in t he rat io of
wat er : sweet pot at o at 1: 1, and filt ered t o obt ain filt rat e 1. Cake result ed w as added wit h dist illed

filt rat e 2. Filt rat e 1 and filt rat e 2 were m ixed, set t led down for 6 h, and t he wat er was replaced every
3 h. Wat er and sedim ent were separat ed, and t he sedim ent obt ained was t o be wet st arch w hich was

t hen dried overnight using oven at 50 oC. The dry st arch w as m illed and sieved wit h 100 m esh and
t hen kept in sealed cont ainer ( Collado and Corke, 1997)

H e a t M oist ur e Tr e a t m e n t ( H M T)
Heat m oist ure t reat m ent was carried out wit h t he m et hod of Collado et al. ( 2001) . The m oist ure

The cont ent of proxim at e analysis is varied am ong sweet pot at oes genot ype. Fat and crude prot ein
aft er t reat ed wit h HMT is lower t han before. This is could be happen because som e of fat and prot ein

Tot a l die t a r y fibr e ( TD F)
Tot al diet ary fibre is associat ed wit h digest ibilit y and clasified as undigest able st ach. HMT process
could lead t o produce slowly digest ed st arch t hat is seem s t o be associat ed wit h lower glycem ik index

HMT m et hod can change t he charact erist ics of st arch by increase t he gelat inizat ion t em perat ure,
increase t he viscosit y of st arch past e, and increase t he t endency of ret rogradat ion ( Adebowale et al.
2005) . The cyrst alin st arch st ruct ure im pove along wit h higher t em perat ure ( above gelat inizat ion
t em perat ure) , so t hat st arch has perfect ly gelat inized. I n ot her hand a previous research done by
Pranot o et al. ( 2014) which is used t he period of HMT t im e st at ed t hat wit h t he longer HMT will
increased solubilit y due t o t he weakness of m olecular binding of st arch int erm olecul. According t o
Syam sir, et al. ( 2012) t he changes of t he st arch m olecular t hat is lead t o increase TDF will be not

proceed under m oist ure cont ent ( < 20% ) , and lower t em perat ure.
Conclusions
HMT led t o decrease solubilit y which is result ed in higher t ot al diet ary fibre ( significant different
