Course description

View Course Outline

Starch is a recognized natural hydrophilic polymer that is popularly utilized in various kinds of formulations as a swelling agent and gel forming excipient. It has multiple structural arrangements and functionalities.

This accredited course will cover the science and operational aspects of products using starches, which are amongst the most important ingredients used in a variety of industries. This course will cover the science behind starches, its behavior when hydrated under different temperatures, rheology of gelatinized starches, viscosity measurement, correlation between viscosity and desired finished product attributes as well as changes during processes such as extrusion, powder processing, liquid dispersion in batches and cooking.

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

  • Describe the behavior of hydrated starches under different conditions of temperature.
  • Explain the starch gelatinization and retrogradation phenomena.
  • Explain the rheological behavior of Newtonian and non‐Newtonian products, especially gelatinized starches.
  • Describe the correlation between viscosity and desired product attributes.
  • List different applications for starches in various products, with the corresponding benefits in processing and product attributes.
  • Describe the behavior of starches through the cooking extrusion process.
  • Explain the importance of the starch behavior in processing parameters and its impact in the proper equipment selection.
