Sections illustrate how plant starch can be analyzed and modified, including chapters on analysis of starch molecular structure, molar mass and size, the relationship between structure and digestion of starch, sources of starch, including new chapters on cereal, root and tuber and pulse starches, and starch applications, with a new chapter on utilizing starches in product development, in baked products and in gluten-free bread.
Starch selection is one of the most complex areas for a product developer, yet starch is key to solving formulation challenges when developing products to meet many of the emerging consumer trends. This book aids the end user on acquiring knowledge on fundamental starch aspects, such as granular and molecular structure and properties, analysis, biosynthesis and general functionality of starch in foods.
- Thoroughly revised edition bringing updated and new chapters covering the fundamentals of starch applications
- Explores starch aspects such as granular and molecular structure and properties, analysis, biosynthesis, and general functionality of starch in foods
- Offers insight into how starch-related formulation challenges can be addressed
