Entry: Parboiling / pre-gelatinising

Notation:
A07LK

Boiling or steaming (mostly referred to cereals) until partially cooked in order to pre-gelatinize starches. With this treatment cereals take less time to cook, and after cooking are firmer and less sticky. In general terms, pregelatinisation is modification of starch to improve significantly its swelling properties in cold water.
