Popis: The amylolytic action of α-amylase and amyloglucosidase has been directly implemented in native cassava starches for the formation of cassava microporous granules with unsatisfactory results, however, its incidence in hydrothermally treated granules has never been evaluated. The effect of hydrothermal processes and simultaneous enzymatic hydrolysis on the physicochemical, morphological and structural properties of native cassava starch was evaluated. Native cassava starch presented a rigid, smooth surface, and was exempt from porosities, whereas hydrothermal processes altered the semicrystalline order and increasing the size and number of pores and increasing the size (4.11 ± 0.09 nm) and volume of pores (0.82 ± 0.00 cm3/g × 10−3). The hydrothermal action followed by enzymatic processes with α-amylase and amyloglucosidase, augmented the processes of internal degradation (endo-erosion) and pore widening (exo-erosion), improving the hydrophilic properties compared to the hydrothermal treatment. Likewise, the hydrothermally process followed by enzymatic hydrolysis for 24 h (HPS + EMS-24) increased the degradation of the amorphous lamellae, consistent with a significant decrease in amylose content. This same dual treatment increased the pore size at 17.68 ± 0.13 nm relative to the native counterpart; therefore, they are considered an effective method in the development of modified cassava starches with porous surfaces.
