Starch is the main polysaccharide in plant-origin food products.It is commonly used as thickener, colloidal stabilizer, gelling,bulking and water preserving agent. The granule swelling, gelatinization, pasting and the subsequent gel properties of starch playimportant roles in the food manufacturing industry. With the use ofstarch in food industry becoming increasingly broader and moreextensive, native starch does not always possess the physicochemical properties appropriate for certain types of processing.Starch is often modified by physical, chemical, and enzymaticprocesses to promote specific functional properties. Heat-moisturetreatment (HMT) is one of the more important physical methods byusing simple and environmentally safe processes, with low cost andwithout by-products of chemical reagents (
