Tan d (ratio of G00/G0) values of all the blends were higher than that of RS, indicating that there is a more pronounced synergistic effect on the viscous properties of RS in the presence of TS. DSC studies found that the transition temperatures and enthalpies of gelatinization of the blends appeared to be greatly influenced by the addition of TS. The blend gels showed higher gel strength and also better freeze ethaw stability with a significant decrease in syneresis (%) in higher ratios of TS. In general, these results suggestthat in the RSeTS blend systems, the addition ofTS modified the rheological, thermal, andgelling properties of RS, and that these modifications were dependent on the mixing ratio of TS as well as the physical properties of the two component starches.
