changes that occur in the first stages of heating starch granules in a moist environment
Gelatinization
The resistance to flow;
increase in thickness or consistency
Viscosity
Is the process in which starch molecules, particularly the amylose fraction, re-associate or bond together in an ordered structure
Retrogadation

are partially hydrolyzed starches that are
prepared by dry roasting
Dextrins
