The effect of concentration on rheological properties of sago (Metroxylon sagu) starch

The concentration of starch is one of the main factors influencing the rheological characteristics of starch-based foods. The rheological behavior of sago starch at varied concentrations of 3, 5, 10, 20 and 30% (w/w) were investigated using small oscillatory temperature and frequency sweep measurements. All concentrations of sago starch expressed less solid-like behavior, with tan δ values of approximately 0.2. A flowable viscous paste of sago starch was generated at low concentrations (3 and...
