Rheometers and viscometers are nowadays standard measurement devices for characterising pasting behavior of starches. Appropriate viscosity measurements typically consist of different measuring intervals such as mixing, equilibration and water uptake, heating, holding, and cooling phases.
Using an Anton Paar Modular Compact Rheometer (MCR) along with the tailor-made starch cell, and RheoCompass™ software allows easy viscosity measurements during the different phases, and automatic determination of relevant parameters, such as the pasting temperature.
