Type: Concept
As of November 2026, gelatinization has been mentioned in one podcast episode on Stuff You Should Know (Dec 2025).
Starch gelatinization is a process of breaking down of intermolecular bonds of starch molecules in the presence of water and heat, allowing the hydrogen bonding sites to engage more water. This irreversibly dissolves the starch granule in water. Water acts as a plasticizer.
