The increase in pasting temperature after modification supported the fact that the HMT process tended to increase the region of crystallinity due to internal rearrangement of the starch granules (Zavareze and Dias, 2011)
The starchechain associations and the starcheprotein interaction might be other factors influencing the Tp. The increase in moisture content of HMT caused a gradual decrease of the Pv for HMT starches, consistent with previous reports (Jiranuntakul et al., 2011; Puncha-arnon et al., 2013; Sun et al., 2014; Watcharatewinkul et al., 2009)
