From swollen granule to a suspension : shear flow behaviour of a physically modified starch

Description
Summary:It has been seen that starch that remains in a granular form when heated and used in food systems offered better flavour perception than hydrocolloid thickenec products. It seems that starch that remains in the granular form has a better mixmg ability in the mouth, leading to better release of the tastants to the receptor. A suggested parameter to differentiate food thickeners is droplet break-up. In this context, the flow behaviour of starch was studied in depth to better understand its properties.
