  2. Starch gelatinization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starch_gelatinization

    Damaged starch can be produced, for example, during the wheat milling process, or when drying the starch cake in a starch plant. [5] There is an inverse correlation between gelatinization temperature and glycemic index. [4] High amylose starches require more energy to break up bonds to gelatinize into starch molecules.

  3. Starch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starch

    Rice starch as surface treatment of paper has been used in paper production in China since 700 CE. [10] In the mid eighth century production of paper that was sized with wheat starch started in the Arabic world. [11] Laundry starch was first described in England in the beginning of the 15th century and was essential to make 16th century ruffed ...

  4. Quizlet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quizlet

    Quizlet was founded in October 2005 by Andrew Sutherland, who at the time was a 15-year old student, [2] and released to the public in January 2007. [3] Quizlet's primary products include digital flash cards, matching games, practice electronic assessments, and live quizzes. In 2017, 1 in 2 high school students used Quizlet. [4]

  5. Starch production - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starch_production

    Starch production is an isolation of starch from plant sources. It takes place in starch plants. Starch industry is a part of food processing which is using starch as a starting material for production of starch derivatives, hydrolysates, dextrins. At first, the raw material for the preparation of the starch was wheat. Currently main starch ...

  6. Corn starch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_starch

    The starch is obtained from the endosperm of the kernel. Corn starch is a common food ingredient, often used to thicken sauces or soups, and to make corn syrup and other sugars. [3] Corn starch is versatile, easily modified, and finds many uses in industry such as adhesives, in paper products, as an anti-sticking agent, and textile ...

  7. Amylose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amylose

    Amylose A is a parallel double-helix of linear chains of glucose. Amylose is made up of α(1→4) bound glucose molecules. The carbon atoms on glucose are numbered, starting at the aldehyde (C=O) carbon, so, in amylose, the 1-carbon on one glucose molecule is linked to the 4-carbon on the next glucose molecule (α(1→4) bonds). [3]

  8. Amylase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amylase

    Many mammals have seen great expansions in the copy number of the amylase gene. These duplications allow for the pancreatic amylase AMY2 to re-target to the salivary glands, allowing animals to detect starch by taste and to digest starch more efficiently and in higher quantities. This has happened independently in mice, rats, dogs, pigs, and ...

  9. Potato starch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potato_starch

    Potato starch is starch extracted from potatoes. The cells of the root tubers of the potato plant contain leucoplasts (starch grains). To extract the starch, the potatoes are crushed, and the starch grains are released from the destroyed cells. The starch is then left to settle out of solution or separated by hydrocyclones, then dried to powder.
