The present study investigated the multi-scale structure of starch derived from acorn kernels and the effects of the non-starch nutrients on the physicochemical properties and in vitro digestibility of starch. The average polymerization degree of acorn starch was 27.3, and the apparent amylose content was 31.4%. The crystal structure remained as C-type but the relative crystallinity of acorn flour decreased from 26.55% to 25.13%, 25.86% and 26.29% after the treatments of degreasing, deproteinization, and the removal of β-glucan, respectively. After the above treatments, the conclusion temperature of acorn flour decreased and had a significant positive correlation with the decrease in the crystallinity. The aggregation between starch granules, and the interactions between starch granules and both proteins and lipids, reduced significantly after degreasing and deproteinization treatments. The endogenous protein, fat, and β-glucan played key roles in reducing the digestibility of acorn starch relative to other compounds, which was dictated by the ability for these compounds to form complexes with starch and inhibit hydrolysis.
