Effect of retrogradation time and starch concentration on the physicochemical properties of ramon seed starch (Brosimum alicastrum) xerogels

Key Points

• Xerogels show significant changes in physicochemical properties with increased retrogradation time.
• At a starch concentration of 15%, the ramon seed starch xerogels exhibited optimal texture and stability.
• Analysis of wheat starch retrogradation was performed using differential scanning calorimetry and texture profile analysis.
• Understanding these effects may enable improved applications in food and material sciences.
