“…Nonstarch hydrocolloidal polysaccharides, particularly guar gum, xanthan gum, and carrageenan and, to a lesser extent, konjac glucomannan, pentosans, gellan, pectin, pullulan, alginate, inulin, okra gum, locust bean gum, corn fiber gum, carboxymethylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, and tea polysaccharide, have all been studied for their effect on starch retrogradation (Zhou and others ; BeMiller ; Alamri and others ; Correa and others ; Chen and others ; Pongsawatmanit and others ; Witczak and others ; Qiu and others ). As pointed out by BeMiller (), no general conclusions on the effect of hydrocolloids on starch retrogradation have been reached.…”
