The gelatinization temperatures of wheat starch were 55.6, 60.9,
and 67.3 C for To, Tp, and Tc, respectively, and the gelatinization
enthalpy was 10.3 J/g (Table 3). To of wheat starch increased
significantly with increasing annealing temperature from 30 to
50 C. In contrast, Tp and Tc remained largely unchanged after
annealing at 30 and 40 C, but increased significantly after
annealing at 50 C. Annealing at 30 and 40 C did not cause any
significant change in enthalpy change of wheat starch, but the
treatment at 50 C decreased the enthalpy change significantly
from 10.3 to 5.6 J/g. These results indicated that ordered structures
