Synergistic modification of wheat starch by freeze-thaw treatment and fucoidan: Insight into the gel properties, rheological behaviors, multiscale structure, and the application in hot-dry noodles.
The synergistic effects of freeze-thaw treatment (FT) and fucoidan (FC) on the physicochemical and structural properties of wheat starch (WS), alongside its application in hot-dry noodles, were investigated. The combined treatment significantly reduced the gel hardness and viscoelastic moduli of WS. Additionally, peak...
