Pregelatinization of Flour: Enhancing High- Protein & Plant-Based Food Formulations

Pregelatinized flour plays a critical role in modern food formulation—delivering improved texture, enhanced stability, and quicker processing times. This webinar is designed to help food technologists, R&D professionals, and formulation experts understand the science behind pregelatinization, the importance of proper characterization, and its evolving role in innovative food applications.

Join us as we explore the fundamentals, walk through essential characterization techniques, and showcase advanced use-cases in convenience and clean-label food products. 

What You’ll Learn:

  • What pregelatinization of flour is and how it alters functional properties

  • Key parameters to monitor during the pregelatinization process

  • How instruments like the Farinograph, Extensograph, and Moisture Analyzer support quality control

  • Insights into formulation strategies using pregelatinized flour in real-world food products

  • Trends and opportunities in the food industry leveraging pregelatinized starch systems
