Explore the uses of pre-gelatinized tapioca starch in instant food products and industrial applications. Pre-gelatinized tapioca starch dissolves quickly in cold water, making it ideal for instant foods like soups, sauces, and puddings. It provides instant thickening and improves the texture of various food products. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used as a binder […]
WHAT IS PREGELATINIZED STARCH? Pregelatinized is also called Alpha starch. It is a native starch, but cooked, then dried. It has passed the Starch gelatinization process. Starch gelatinization is a process of breaking down the intermolecular bonds of starch molecules in the presence of water and heat, allowing the hydrogen bonding sites (the hydroxyl hydrogen and oxygen) to engage more water. This irreversibly dissolves the starch granule in water. Water […]
