We investigated the modification of wheat starch with Ligustrum robustum (Rxob.) Blume extract (LRE) and determined the action mechanism. Based on differential scanning calorimetry, LRE decreased the gelatinization enthalpy of wheat starch from 19.14 to 7.15 J/g and changed gelatinization temperatures (including the variation in gelatinization onset temperature, peak temperature and conclusion temperature in different degrees). Moreover, LRE affected the pasting viscosity curve of wheat starch, and changed its rheological parameters (including the decrease in storage modulus and loss modulus, as well as the increase in loss tangent). Based on the analysis of scanning electron microscopy and wide-angle X-ray diffraction, LRE increased the hole size and the roughness of the gel microstructure, and decreased the crystallinity of wheat starch. Meanwhile, the evaluation results of the texture analyzer and the colorimeter showed that LRE could change the quality properties (including decrease hardness, fracturability and L* values, as well as increase a* and b* values) of wheat starch biscuits after hot air baking (170 °C). Furthermore, with molecular dynamics simulation analysis, phenolic compounds of LRE combined with starch molecules via H-bonds and affected the formation of molecular bonds (including intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds), so as to change the spatial conformation and properties of wheat starch during gelatinization and retrogradation. The present results suggest that LRE can modify the physicochemical properties of wheat starch and further improve its processing properties, indicating its potential in the design and development of starch foods (such as steamed buns, bread, biscuits, etc.).
