Starch is a kind of polysaccharide widely used in food industryas thickener, stabilizer or food matrix. During processing of starchyfoods, starch is gelatinized by heat, microwave or super high-pressure. Traditionally, sugars are often added to improve the taste andtexture of starchy foods such as chi ba (a Hakka specialty), crystalmoon cake and Japanese snack, and so on. Meanwhile, sugar addition can alter the thermal, rheological and pasting properties especially the gelatinization temperature, gelatinization enthalpy,viscosity, gel strength and gel viscoelasticity of starch
