Starch Testing

Starch is an important raw material in the food industry and a widely used food additive. Gelatinization is the prerequisite for the application of starch. The gelatinization properties of starch directly determine the quality of starch-based food and the effect of starch on food quality improvement. Starch gelatinization can only occur at a certain temperature. The gelatinization temperature reflects the difficulty of starch gelatinization and is of great significance in food processing. The crystallization characteristics of starch determine its physical, chemical and digestive properties, and affect the processing quality and nutritional quality of food. Therefore, in-depth study of the physical and chemical properties of starch can provide reference for the processing and application of starch.

STEMart provides scientific, comprehensive and reliable starch testing services to assess product quality, optimize process parameters and control production processes.
