The results showed that hydrocolloids retarded the retrogradation of tapioca starch. Enthalpy and temperatures of gelatinisation, as well as solubility, did not vary significantly in starch-hydrocolloid systems. Viscosity of tapioca starch increased on the addition of hydrocolloids: the effect of carrageenan on viscosity was more remarkable than that of pectin.
