For instance, the SME values of starch–myristate systems extruded at 80◦C are lower than those of the control and the starch–palmitate systems extruded at the same tem-perature, which also applies for the viscosity values where asin the case of the systems extruded at 100◦C their behaviour is the opposite of that at 80◦C, in both the SME and the viscosity values
