Study Notes

Heating Starch Granules

Starch granules undergo significant changes when heated in a moist environment.
Initial process involves the absorption of water, leading to granule swelling.
Swelling is caused by water molecules penetrating the granule structure.
As granules absorb water, their organized structure begins to disrupt.
The organization of starch granules is essential for their functionality in food applications.
Disruption affects the physical properties of starch, influencing texture and consistency in food products.
Understanding these changes is crucial for applications in cooking and food production.
