How does heat affect the movement of molecules in a rubber?

Heat does not affect it. It expands with coolness. It contracts with heat.


How does iodine affect the plants startch?

Iodine interacts with starch to form a deep blue complex, which is commonly used as a test for the presence of starch in plants. When iodine is applied to plant tissues, it binds to the amylose component of starch, indicating its presence. This reaction is often used in laboratory experiments to visualize starch storage in various parts of the plant, such as leaves and tubers. However, iodine itself does not affect the synthesis or metabolism of starch in plants.


Why is there starch in water?

Starch in water may occur during cooking when starch-containing foods are rinsed or soaked in water. Starch granules can release into the water due to mechanical action or heat, resulting in a cloudy appearance to the water.


What effect does the addition of peptidase to starch have?

The addition of peptidase to starch primarily does not have a direct effect, as peptidases are enzymes that break down peptides and proteins, not carbohydrates like starch. Instead, starch is hydrolyzed by amylase enzymes into simpler sugars. If peptidase is present in a mixture containing starch and proteins, it may enhance the overall digestion process by breaking down protein components, but it will not directly affect the starch itself.


What is modified starches include examples?

Modified starches are starches that have been chemically or physically altered to change their properties, such as improving stability, thickening, or reducing gelatinization temperature. Examples include resistant starch (improves digestion), hydrolyzed starch (helps in quick thickening), and cross-linked starch (enhances stability and tolerance to heat and shear).

Is ironing Starch flammable?

Yes, starch is flammable. When starch is heated to a high temperature, it can ignite and burn. It is important to avoid exposing starch to open flames or high heat sources during ironing.

Is potato starch the same as corn starch?

Tapioca starch has similar properties to corn starch. The amylose content of tapioca starch is about the same as corn starch but there are some phosphate groups present in tapioca which I think affect the solubility of starches in water.


What is the definition of dextrinisation?

Dextrinisation is the browning process produced by dry heat on starch. The starch molecule breaks down into dextrin. An example is bread.


Is dextrinization the same with gelatinization?

No, dextrinization and gelatinization are not the same. Dextrinization is the breakdown of starch molecules into smaller dextrin molecules through heat, while gelatinization is the swelling and bursting of starch granules in water, leading to the thickening of a mixture.


Does gelatinisation occur in pancakes?

Yes gelatinisation does occur in pancakes. Gelatinisation is when granules absorb water and swell. It is when starch grain mix in with a liquid and heat the starch. Pancakes have starch in them and therefore gelatinisation does occur.
