Anotherexplanation is the differences in the amylose content between the two starches. It has beeninterpreted that amylose plays a major role in restricting initial swelling since the swellingprocess proceeds more rapidly after amylose has first been released (4) The presence of so-called“starch granule-associated proteins”. Compared to wheat starch, cassava starch had less granuleassociated proteins (Table 1; [28]). Starch granule-associated proteins, whose properties havebeen well described by Baldwin [33], have a key role in determining the granule’s ability tomaintain the starch content after heat treatment and subsequent thermal, viscoelasticcharacteristics and pasting properties. There was a positive relationship between the lipids andproteins on the surface of starch granules, regarding the post-gelatinization viscosity. Thesecomponents are necessary to restrict the starch swelling capacity. Removing both protein andlipid could increase the swelling capacity. As mentioned above, wheat starch has a high lipidcontent when compared with cassava starch (Table 1; [28, 29]).
