    Factors Affecting Starch Paste Viscosity and

    Starch Gel Strength

    1. Stress or Other Factors, Stirring Amount and Type


    2. Kind and Amount of Starch
    3. Heating Rate
    4. Endpoint Temperature
    5. Cooling and Storage Conditions
    6. Ingredients Added
    Common Problems in Starch Cookery
    • Thinning of Gel – this problem is usually encountered when using
    acid or acid ingredients such as lemon or vinegar.
    • Weak Gel – results if there is too much liquid in relation to the
    starch.
    • Skin Formation – is due to loss of water from the starch and protein
    molecules near the surface of the mixture. To reduce this problem,
    cover container of the starch gel with a waterproof cover.
    • Scorching – this can be avoided by temperature control and constant
    stirring so the starch granules do not settle at the bottom of the
    cooking pan.
    • Raw Starch Flavor – this is due to ungelatinized starch.
    Principles in Cooking Cereals
     Use a double boiler
     Observe carefully the correct proportions of
    cereal, water and salt.
     Cook at boiling temperature (212˚F.)
     Watch the time by the clock, and always cook
    the full time prescribed, preferably longer.
     Serve attractively.
     Improper cooking and poor serving are largely
    responsible for unpopularity of cereal foods.
    Cooking Pasta

    Pasta should be cooked al


    dente, or “to the tooth”. This
    means the cooking should be
    stopped when the pasta still
    feels firm to the bite, not soft
    and mushy. Cooking times
    differ for every shape and size
    of pasta.
