The goals of this study were to evaluate the thermal phase
transition characteristics, namely the glass transition temperature
(Tg), gelatinization temperature (TG), change in
enthalpy (DH), and the heat capacity (cp) of batter systems
formulated using different blends of wheat, rice, and corn
flours, and to determine the influence of adding salt and a
hydrocolloid such asMC to the different flour mixes. Results
of the study will provide useful information on factors
influencing processing conditions and storage of fried
products. It will also assist in the selection and formulation
of appropriate batter systems for a given product
