Abstract:The main energy reserve in plants is starch. It is unique among polysaccarides for being in the form of granules. Starch granules are heterogeneous mixtures of amylose and amylopectin. Gelatinization and retrogradation of starch depend on the ratio of amylose to amylopectin, type of crystallinity, along with the sizes and structure of starch granules. The present work determined the rheological behavior in a dynamic state, in terms of sweeping frequency, time and temperature, in addition to the extrusion of co… Show more
