Abstract
Pregelatinized high amylose starches are useful in processing cast jelly gum confectionaries. The starch has an amylose content of at least 40% and it may be used alone or in combination with a converted starch. The starch is pregelatinized by spray-drying using a novel continuous coupled jet-cooking/sray-drying process or simultaneous atomization/spray-drying process or by drum-drying after fully dispersing the starch. The confectionary can be cooked at a lower temperature than was possible using prior art starches and still provide confectionaries with desirable characteristics.
