The gelatinisation of the lemon meringue pie filling is dependent on two main ingredients: The sugar, and the corn starch. Adding heat to both these elements, along with liquid (in the case of lemon meringue pie, water and lemon juice) creates a rapidly thickening substance. A word of warning: the heated coagulated filling is extremely hot and sticks to everything...be careful to not get this on you skin, as it will leave a nice burn. Additional info: Gelatinization actually does not require the presence of sugar. Any starch and water mixture will cause gelatinization when heated to the proper temperature. Sugar and acid will affect the thickness of the gelatinized starch mixture and the rate at which is gelatinizes when heat is applied. In a lemon meringue pie there will also be some gelatinization occurring in the crust when moisture from the filling mixes with the flour in the crust.
