Retrogradation Regulates the Thermal Puffing Quality of Tigernut (Cyperus esculentus L.) Starch via Modulating Its Multi-Scale Structure and Water State
Starch retrogradation is a key process governing the final quality of indirectly thermally puffed starchy foods. This study investigated the effect of retrogradation duration (0–72 h) on the multi-scale structure, water distribution, thermal puffing performance and textural properties of tigernut starch-based products....
