Q

Gelatinizatoin

A

the increase in volume, viscosity, and translucency of starch granules when they are heated in a liquid
• when heated in liquid, starch granules increase in volume, viscosity, translucency
• changes the texture and size of many foods
• process of braking down the intermolecular bonds of starch molecules in the presence of water and heat
• allows hydrogen bonding sites to engage more water (dissolves he starch granule in water)

Q

purpose of line spread testing

A

To measure the liquids consistency, flow distance of a liquid with a flat surface and multiple circles. The measures are used to compare different viscositites of different products that flow.

Q

Factors that affect gelatinization

A

Water: must be sufficient enough for starch absorption
Temperature: gelatinize when heated above 133 F – 167 F
Timing: just long enough to reach peak viscosity
Stirring: stirring early = uniform consistency + no lumps; too long or vigorous = less viscosity
Acid: reduce ability of starches to thicken
Sugar: competes for available water, delays the onset of gelatinization, increases the required temperature
fat and protein: coats starch, preventing water absorption

Q

What are benefits of using modified starches?

A

Can take extreme temperature changes, maintains quality, consistency, and creaminess
Not all have to be heated in water to expand and gel (pudding)
Have already been cooked and dried, so absorb cold water immediately and expand
