Starch granules are insoluble in water at room temperature, which is due to the impenetrability of starch granules to water at room temperature, in which case no reaction will occur between water and starch, and as a result, starch cannot increase viscosity. But when starch is heated in the presence of water (temperatures above 60 °C), the starch granules can absorb water and become gelatinized.

Description
The insolubility of starch at room temperature limits its use in processes and formulations where heat treatment does not occur. As a result, for such processes, pergelatinous starch is used, which has the ability to absorb water and thus form a gel at room temperature.
Among the uses of gelatinous starch, the following can be mentioned:
– Baby food
– Soups
– Bakery products
– stabilizer
– Experience in the pharmaceutical industry
– As a binder in wet granulation
