“…HMT can efficiently improve thermal stability, increase gelatinization temperature and decrease swelling power of starches (Gunaratne & Hoover, 2002;Olayinka, Adebowale, & Olu-Owolabi, 2008;Watcharatewinkul, Puttanlek, Rungsardthong, & Uttapap, 2009). While ANN can significantly improve the formation of resistant starch , increase relative crystallinity (RC) and gelatinization temperature (Lan et al, 2008;Waduge, Hoover, Vasanthan, Gao, & Li, 2006), and decrease peak viscosity and swelling power (Gomes, da Silva, Ricardo, Sasaki, & Germani, 2004). Thus, both ANN and HMT are effective and safe methods to improve the properties of starches which are desirable for noodle, dough, bread and canned food manufacture (Zavareze & Dias, 2011).…”
