The starch also exhibits thin-thick canning starch attributes. A sol and foodstuff containing the starch are also disclosed.
Claims9
A thickened foodstuff for canning comprising a foodstuff, water and having as an essential ingredient therein an effective amount of a natural thin-thick starch, said starch extracted from a starch bearing plant having a dull sugary-2 genotype, said starch providing no effective thickening characteristics to said foodstuff before canning while providing effective thickening characteristics to said foodstuff after canning.
A method for making a thickened foodstuff comprising combining a foodstuff, water and an effective amount of a natural thin-thick starch, said starch extracted from a starch bearing plant having a dull sugary-2 genotype and subjecting said combination to a canning process whereby said starch provides no effective thickening characteristics to said foodstuff before canning while providing effective thickening characteristics to said foodstuff after canning.
