starch has been used as a binder and disintegrant. Moreover, after
partial gelatinization treatment, starch transforms from an amorphous
state to a more ordered or crystalline state that has different
digestion properties, providing benefits for the dietary management
of metabolic disorders (Chung et al., 2006).
Preliminary tests of JFSS gelatinization indicated that it had
unique gelatinization characteristics, with two endothermic peaks,
each with a distinct onset temperature, which might make it
possible to produce a product with unique qualities through
temperature-controlled thermal processing. In this study, native
and partially gelatinized Vietnamese JFSS were investigated to
better understand their physicochemical properties and potential
uses.
