can be easily scaled up to produce large quantities of material for new product development.
The ability to use excess steam conditions to maximize mechanical shear enhances the
versatility of this processing method and allows this method to be used with numerous
feedstock combinations.
2.9 CONCLUSIONS
In this chapter, a number of non-traditional processing methods that have been developed to
modify starch properties for a wide variety of end-use applications have been reviewed. For
example, annealing and heat-moisture treatment have been shown to modify the swelling
