Study on the Technology of Dandelion Health Starch Toothpick
n order to study the preparation process of health-care starch toothpicks,the effects of glycerol,pregelatinized starch,refined flour and dandelion powder on the transmittance and viscosity of starch emulsion were investigated.The results showed that the best process for making health-care starch toothpicks was as follows:a certain mass of corn starch was evenly mixed with 10%pregelatinized starch,10%refined flour and 3.75%dandelion powder,and then 12%glycerol and appropriate amount of water were added,and the mixture was heated in a water bath at 90℃ for gelatinization,and the gelatinized mixture was extruded into strips,boiled in water,refrigerated,dried and polished.Under this process,the transmittance and viscosity of the starch toothpicks were the best,and the toothpicks were not easy to break.
