Objective
To characterize the functionality of blends of pea starch with corn, waxy corn, high amylose corn, and potato starch.
Outcome
Some native, pregelatinized, and heat-moisture-treated blends of pea starch and corn, waxy corn, high-amylose corn, or potato starch may possess interesting and potentially valuable functionality for food and non-food applications without a requirement for chemical modification.
