“…PS molecular fine structure strongly differs between genotypes (Ahmed et al., 2019; Gomand, Lamberts, Visser, et al., 2010) and growing conditions (temperature, moisture, location; Ahmed et al., 2019). As AM plays the leading role in (potato) starch gelation (see Section 3.3.1), gelation of PS pastes is positively correlated with their AM content (Ahmed et al., 2018; Gomand, Lamberts, Visser, et al., 2010; Tong, Ahmed, Pang, Zhou, & Bao, 2018). However, only limited effort has been made to unravel the influence of AM fine structure on the pasting of PS.…”
