Abstract

Changes of some physicochemical properties of tapioca and glutinous rice starches were studied after heating with microwave at 2450 MHz at various times (0,3.5,8.5 and 10 min) and various initial moisture contents (13,15,20,25 and 27%) in a stainless steel tray (27x30 cm2) with 10 mm height of the samples. By comparison with their native starches, the shearing stability and the freeze-thaw stability of the microwaved starches were decreased with increasing heating time and decreasing initial moisture content. The water absorption index was increased with increased heating time and ing increasing initial moisture content.
