Amylose‑sodium stearate (SS) complexes (2, 5 and 8%) in heat-moisture treated potato starch (HPS) were evaluated for their physicochemical properties. Based on the DSC thermograms, the amylose - SS complexes were successfully formed with high thermal stability, indicated by a melt temperature (Tpeak) of ≥ 112 °C for type I and ≥125 °C for type II complexes. Addition of 2% SS resulted in a single endothermal peak of the complexes, while 5 and 8% led to the formation of type I and II complexes with much higher enthalpy (ΔH) values. The XRD curve confirmed that the complexes were successfully formed. The pasting temperature increased from 66 °C for native to 91 °C for HPS145 complexed starch with 5% SS. Furthermore, the swelling power could be largely decreased, and the granular structure preserved. In addition, the inclusion complexation with SS on (HPS) succesfully improved the cook stabiliy.
