  • Low starch concentration gel and preparation thereof
    Patent number: 5291877
    Abstract: A gel having a low concentration of starch and a short texture, distinguished by its elasticity as opposed to its viscosity, is prepared by treating a gelatinized starch in an aqueous mixture with an emulsifier suitable for forming an amylose-emulsifier inclusion complex and then cooling to gel the mixture, or by simultaneously, in aqueous mixture, gelatinizing a native starch and complexing amylose released from the starch with an emulsifier suitable for forming an amylose-emulsifier inclusion complex and then cooling to gel the mixture. The gel has a conservation modulus from 5 Nm.sup.-2 to 50 Nm.sup.-2 and a dissipation modulus of from 1 Nm.sup.-2 to 10 Nm.sup.-2.
