Abstract:
A method for preparing a starch-emulsifier composition, comprising the steps of:a) heating a mixture of starch and an emulsifier in an aqueous medium under conditions sufficient to disrupt essentially all starch granules and solubilize amylose and amylopectin in the starch, to produce a dispersion of starch and emulsifier, wherein the starch has an amylose content greater than about 30%; and b) optionally treating the starch in the starch and emulsifier dispersion to produce a starch containing greater than about 20% short chain amylose, thereby producing a starch-emulsifier composition.
