“…Starch rheological properties depend on concentration, type of starch [regular, root, waxy, and modified], test conditions [rate of heating and cooling, temperature, shear, time, and sample history], and additives [sugars, lipids, protein, emulsifiers, gums, salts, and pH modifiers] (Abu-Jdayil et al, 2004;Chang et al, 2004;Chen and Ramaswamy, 1999;Sopade et al, 2004a). Upon heating in water, above 55 o C for most starches, gelatinisation occurs with changes to the viscosity of the aqueous dispersion, and crystallinity and organisation of the granules.…”
