Starch Cell - Starch Gelation Measurement

The starch cell and the Physica MCR rheometer enable the easy analysis of starch gelling behavior at the required high heating and cooling rates. The open system of the starch cell can be used for starch analysis up to temperatures of 95 ºC; for high temperature applications the starch cell can be equipped with a pressure cell, for example to simulate the sterilization process of foodstuff. Pre-defined workbook templates simplify the setup of the measurement and deliver all required starch analysis results such as the gelation temperature, peak viscosity and final viscosity.
