Using differential scanning calorimetry and pulsed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), it was found that the presence of Na2CO3 and NaOH retarded retrogradation of aged starch (wheat, corn, waxy corn, rice, and waxy rice) gels during storage at 4 degrees C. At the same level of addition (based on a fixed starch/water ratio), the effect of NaOH was observed to be more pronounced than that of Na2CO3. Kinetic studies using pulsed NMR showed a progressive reduction in rate of starch retrogradation with increasing concentration of alkali (up to a level of 1 g/100 starch).
