Study on Starch-Based Thickeners in Chyme for Dysphagia Use by Youdong Li, Lingying Li, Guoyan Liu, Li Liang, Xiaofang Liu, Jixian Zhang, Chaoting Wen, Xin Xu

“…Rheological tests showed that the samples had good structural recovery properties. At the same starch concentration, the elastic modulus of phosphorylated cassava starch FSMP was significantly greater than that of the starch solution, whereas that of acetylated starch was significantly less than that of the starch solution, and the combination of acetylated starch and protein led to a significant viscosity reduction phenomenon, resulting in FSMPs with good stability and fluidity; this may provide an opportunity for the incorporation of more high-energy substructures. …”
