Abstract:Introduction: This study aimed to determine the optimal processing conditions to produce stable starch-based hydrogels by high-pressure processing (HPP) via response surface methodology.Methods: The experiments were carried out with different starch suspensions, namely rice, corn, wheat, and tapioca starch, at a concentration in the range of 10%–40% w/w, processed at a pressure level of 600 MPa and holding times between 5 min and 15 min. Gel formation was assessed by determining the gelatinization extent and s… Show more
