Abstract

ABSTRACTA generalized apriori theoretical model relating apparent viscosity of protein dough to several independent variables was used to model gelatinized starch dispersions. Independent variables in the original model were shear rate, temperature, moisture content, temperature‐time history and strain history. the model is applied here to corn starch dispersions gelatinized using various temperature‐time treatments. Apparent viscosity of a 13.7% gelatinized cornstarch solution at constant shear rate and strain history was measured at 20 C using a back extrusion technique. Activation energy of gelatinization was estimated as 210 kJ/mol (50 kcal/mol) over the range 81–95 C. the activation energy decreased in the range 95–105 C.
