other four samples had between 70 and 85g. TVM required more water because of the<br />

small particle size and high starch damage. The flour particle size distribution of TVM<br />

was 114.6μm at 50% volume. The other four samples had a range of 154.4μm to<br />

177.9μm at 50% volume. Smaller particles in the flour allow for a greater surface area<br />

for water to fill around.<br />

Also, the starch damage for TVM was 12.2. The other four samples had a starch<br />

damage range of 2.7 to 3.0. Damaged starch increases water absorption (Evers and<br />

Stevens 1985). Disruption of the crystalline region in starch granules allows water access<br />

to the whole granule (Multon and others 1980).<br />
