Degree of crystallinity of the starch gels stored at 4°C for 21 days.
| Aqueous media used for gel preparation | Degree of crystallinity of the gels containing different level of HDP | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 0% | 25% | 50% | |
| Water | 5.86g ± 0.05 | 5.59h ± 0.12 | 4.85i ± 0.13 | 
| 45°Bx sucrose solution | 64.77c ± 0.24 | 68.64b ± 0.55 | 73.37a ± 0.43 | 
| Coconut milk | 5.43f ± 0.32 | 5.73e ± 0.16 | 6.41d ± 0.14 | 
a,b…For all 9 treatments, mean values with different letters were significantly different (p ≤ 0.05). The gels were prepared from starch blends as shown in Table 1. HDP: hydroxypropylated distarch phosphate.
