starch Pasting Cell (SPC)
The Starch Pasting Cell (SPC) provides a more accurate and powerful tool to characterize the gelatinization of raw and modified starch products, as well as the properties of the starch gels. It can also be used for characterizing many other highly unstable materials. It uses an innovative impeller design for mixing, reduction of water loss, and control of sedimentation during testing. The actual sample temperature is measured and controlled in a temperature chamber with heating/cooling rates up to 30 °C/min.
