Analysis of the sorptional characteristics of amaranth starch
The water vapor adsorption isotherms of amaranth starch were determined for the temperature range 25-50°C and water activity 0.04-0.90. Comparison with adsorption isotherms of wheat and corn native starches showed that the three starches have similar adsorption capacities at low aw values. Amaranth...
