Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) has been used to study
changes in proteins and starches as a function of temperature in
SPI-Corn starch mixtures (Li et al., 2013). It was observed that the
higher amounts of SPI enhanced the thermal stability of corn starch
and raised its endothermic temperature in the mixture. On the
other hand, the presence of corn starch protects the SPI from
denaturation.
