Abstract
On Determination of Shearing Stability of Starch Pastes. Test conditions for the shearing stability test of starch pastes are not sufficiently outlined in existing publications. In the present paper, first of all a determination of optimum parameters (type of paste production, type of stirrer, stirring time, stirrer revolutions, viscosity measurement etc.) for a shearing stability test was attempted. It became apparent that shearing treatment of 5 min by means of a blade stirrer at a number of stirrer revolutions of 1800 r.p.m. with a 5% paste concentration is sufficient to determine shearing stability of a starch paste.For viscosity measurement which as well as pasting and shearing stress is carried out a 95 °C, a Brookfield viscosimeter is used. Provided measuring conditions (type of spindle, spindle revolutions) are kept constant before and after shearing stress, shearing stability can be expressed as remaining viscosity as a percentage of the initial viscosity.Furthermore, reproducibility of paste production as well as that of the whole shearing stability test were determined. Finally, a test was carried out as to wether there is a connection between shearing and heat stability of paste. Values obtained from 11 commercial products made such a connection between the two criteria apparent.
