Storage Stability of Chilled and Frozen Starch Gels as Affected by Blended Starch Formulation, Sucrose Syrup, and Coconut Milk.

Effects of starch formulation, highly concentrated sucrose solution, and coconut milk on the stability of starch gels kept under chilled and frozen conditions were determined. Gels containing rice starch (RS), tapioca starch (TS) (RS:TS of 1 : 0.85), and hydroxypropyl distarch phosphate (HDP, 0-50% of total starch) were prepared from 15% starch suspension using water, 45°Brix sucrose syrup or coconut milk as liquid media.
