When cassava starch is modified with STMP (sodium tripolymetaphosphate), it enhances its ability to withstand high temperatures and shear forces during gelatinization. Gelatinization is a process where starch granules absorb water, swell, and lose their crystalline structure to form a viscous gel. Modifying cassava starch with STMP allows it to form a more stable and uniform gel with improved texture and clarity.
