Outline of Final Research Achievements

The gelatinization and retrogradation of cornstarch, tapioca starch and potato starch at higher pH were investigated. The pH was adjusted by using alkali buffer and alkali salts. The gelatinization of various starches at higher pH varied with depending on the pH. The viscosity of pastes for all kinds of starches decreased at around pH 11, because the gelatinization of starches inhibited. On the other hand, the gelatinization of starches was promoted at around pH 12, then the viscosity of starch pastes increased. However, the viscosity of pastes at around pH 13 greatly decreased because it possibly caused the degradation of amylose and amylopectin.
The retrogradation of cornstarch and potato starch was inhibited with increasing pH, then the syneresis of starch pastes stored decreased with increasing pH.
