When used in food, wheat starch assists with texture, viscosity, gel formulation, binding and moisture retention. It is mainly employed as a thickening agent in the food industry. Wheat starch thickens the food through retrogradation and gelatinization. The heat caused the starch to absorb water & swell, while increasing the clarity and viscosity. Once the viscosity reaches the maximum level, the cells moves apart and reduces the viscosity. Then, when the product begins to cool again the viscosity increases, thus making the solution cloudy which leads to the formation of the gel. This is one of the reasons why the food and beverage manufactures prefer using wheat starch in food products. The use of wheat starch in baking is also incrementing these days.
