As the degree of cross-linking is increased, the starch becomes more tolerant to acid and lesslikely to break down. This is not to suggest that the most highly cross-linked starch will give thebest viscosity in low pH food systems. It must be remembered that cross-linking inhibits granuleswell whereas high temperature, extended heating, high hydrogen ion concentration and highenergy input all tend to disrupt hydrogen bonding and enhance granule swell. With this in mind,one should select the starch which is cross-linked sufficiently to withstand chemical and physicalabuses and still give maximum viscosity.
