ABSTRACT: Pigeon peas, a type of pulse, have immense nutritional potential to improve health in arid and semi-arid regions. However, unlocking this potential relies heavily on understanding their ...
Once they become wet, a process called starch gelatinization begins, causing the grains to thicken and become sticky. This is crucial for an oatmeal cookie texture that is more bendy and less ...
However, they rely on starch being extracted from plant cells and purified, a process requiring much energy and water. A more environmentally friendly method, the researchers say, is to create ...
Baking then sets the shape of a multitude of baked products through protein denaturation and gelatinization of the starch component. Plant breeding has improved the 'gluten strength' of wheat ...
