Retorted paste products containing high amylose starch

摘要

Improved retortable farinaceous-based paste products are provided by the inclusion of an effective amount of a high amylose starch with an amylose content of at least 50% in the paste composition. Paste products including pasta and tortillas which contain the high amylose starch, typically in amounts of about 10 to 40%, are provided with improved cooking tolerance and firmness after retorting.
