Parameters (${\tau }_0$, yield stress; $K$, consistency index; $n$, flow index) obtained Herschel–Bulkley model fitted curves ($\tau ={\tau }_0+K{\dot{\gamma }}^n$; $\tau$, shear stress; $\dot{\gamma }$, shear rate) and parameters (${\tau }_1$, stress at 1 s^–1; $n^{\prime }$, modified flow index) obtained from modified power law model fitted curves ($\tau ={\tau }_1\times {\left(\dot{\gamma }/1 {\mathrm{s}}^{–1}\right)}^{n^{\prime }}$ ) of the flow behavior plots ($\tau$ versus $\dot{\gamma }$ ) for the oil-in-water emulsions stabilized by pregelatinized maize starch modified with octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA-PGS) ^a.
