A 2 parameters fit, f=ax/(b+x), was used for the native and the gelatinized starches, and a 3 parameters fit, f=ax/(b+x)+cx, was used for the retrograded starch where “a” describes maximum asymptote, “b” time to reach half maximum asymptote and “c” is the linear component only valid for the retrograded sample.
na: not applicable.
