Using a Rapid Visco Analyzer (RVA), it was revealed that 2 alkalizing agents (Na2CO3 and NaOH) had a far larger effect on pasting properties of nonwaxy starches (wheat, corn, rice) compared with their effect on waxy starches (waxy corn and waxy rice). It was hypothesized that the alkalizing agents have a greater propensity to attack the amorphous regions of the nonwaxy starch granules, thereby causing increased leaching of amylose molecules and possibly also some hydrolysis of starch chains. As a result, the RVA pasting profile of a nonwaxy starch, in the presence of alkali, was drastically altered to one that more closely resembled that of its waxy counterpart without added alkali.
