Abstract
The rheological behaviour of a molten maize starch in low hydrated phase was investigated using a pre-shearing rheometer. This apparatus enables one to impose well-characterized thermomechanical treatment on the product before viscosity measurement. The influence of temperature, moisture content and intensity of the treatment were studied. The rheological behaviour of the maize starch may be described by a power law with exponential dependences on temperature, water content and mechanical energy provided to the product before measurement.
