16.49 to 14.76 g/g when starch suspensions were heated to 95◦C.The swelling power decreased to 13.29 g/g when the concentrationof CFG was 1.0%. This was in contrast with the finding that maizestarch granule swelling was not restricted in the presence of lowconcentrations of gum (such as 1%) because there were enoughwater molecules for starch-gum mixture swelling
