3.5. Rheological properties
3.5.1. Steady shear properties
All of the starch pastes under the shear stress as a function of shear rate showed pseudo-plastic, shear-thinning behaviors (Supplementary Fig. 6) which were well described by both power law and Herschel–Bulkley equations with high coefficients of determination (R2) (Table 3). The Herschel–Bulkley model gave a higher R2 due to the presence of the yield stress component in the equation. Therefore, the data of Herschel–Bulkley model is discussed here.
