Grade: 9 – Quarter 1 – Lesson 2– Prepare Cereals and Starch Dishes
The lesson deals with the study of the different factors affecting starch paste viscosity and
starch gel strength.
Definition of terms:
Viscosity – the state of being thick, sticky
Amylopectin – the major component of starch
Dispersion – the action or process of distributing things
Stress or other factor. Stirring Amount and Type. This is a gelatinized corn starch
dispersion that is likely to break; the granules broke apart due to stirring.
Kind and Amount of Starch. Certain type of starch will influence the characteristics of the
starch paste viscosity and gel strength. Generally speaking, with "native starches" the
greater the amount of amylopectin the more viscous the starch paste, whereas, the greater
the amount of amylase, the firmer the gel is (greater the gel strength).
Heating rate. The faster starch-water dispersion is heated; the thicker it will be at the
identical endpoint temperature.

The lesson deals with the study of the different factors affecting starch paste viscosity and
starch gel strength.
Definition of terms:
Micelles – a group of molecules that is found in a certain solution
Syneresis – the contraction of a gel accompanied by the separating out of liquid
Gelatinization – the process where starch and water are subjected to heat
causing the starch granules to swell
Endpoint Temperature
Incompletely gelatinized starch will not attain optimum starch paste viscosity or
gel strength.
Over gelatinization results in decreased starch paste viscosity and gel strength.
Ingredients added
Dextrin – a pale powder obtained from starch, used mainly as an adhesive.
Sugar will delay or inhibit gelatinization of starch.
Starch pudding with excess sugar will be less viscous or form less firm gel.
A cake may collapse as the structural contribution of starch is delayed or inhibited.
Decreased starch paste viscosity and gel strength because the sugar added to water
won‘t be available for gelatinization. The kind of sugar used also affect viscosity.
Fat and surfactants, will serve to ―waterproof the starch granules so that water
will not penetrate as readily during the gelatinization process.

The lesson deals with the study of the functions of starch and application in Filipino dishes.
Definition of terms:
Binding – the action of fastening or holding together
Filling – the act of stuffing or putting something inside to fill a space
Stabilizing – the act of holding it firmly
Diluent – refers to any liquid substance that is mixed to reduce its viscosity and
increase flow rate
