Abstract

A thermal-reversible gelling agent derived from the modified starch of a waxy corn variant having an endosperm genotype with one or two doses of the recessive amylose-extender gene (ae). The starch may be modified enzymatically, physically, or by acid hydrolysis. Such gelling agents exhibit properties that may be useful in thickening or providing otherwise unique textures to foods.
