The retrogradation of starch strongly influences the texture and stability of starchy foods.
This study applied low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF NMR) to examine the effect
of buckwheat hull (BH) fiber and green barley (GB) on water dynamics in normal (NPS)
and waxy (WPS) potato starch gels. Relaxation times (T1, T2) and mean correlation times
(τc) were monitored during 15 days of storage to evaluate changes in water mobility
and starch–polymer interactions. Results showed that WPS, with its high amylopectin
content, retrograded earlier than NPS. The addition of BH inhibited conformational changes
associated with water binding in WPS gels, indicating that insoluble fiber entrapped
water within the amylopectin network. Conversely, GB promoted higher τc values in
WPS, reflecting enhanced ordering and reduced water mobility, while its impact on NPS
was minor. In NPS systems, BH decreased τc, suggesting disruption of amylose-driven
structural reorganization. These findings demonstrate that BH and GB exert opposite
effects on starch retrogradation and highlight their potential as functional additives for
tailoring texture and stability in starch-based food systems.
