The shear stability and heat resistence of hot starch pastes of more than 30 different commercially available starches has been evaluated. The shear experiments were carried out by a high shear system in the BOHLIN CS rheometer and in comparison outside the rheometer by treatment with a high shear mixer. Native starches are very sensitive against shear stress. The viscosity of non cross‐linked chemically modified starches was also decreased. It was not possible to find a correlation between the dependence of shear influence on the viscosity and the type of chemical modification. The high temperature measurements (up to 140°C) in principle showed 3 categories of viscosity development. Firstly, a category, where the viscosity breaks down, secondly, a category where the viscosity remains constant and a last category where the viscosity will be built up during the heating period. No direct dependence on the chemical modification could be observed with respect to the viscosity development.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
