To inquire into the rheological characteristics of potato starch during heating process, the rheological characteristics of starch paste were measured by using DV- I type viscosity meter and theory analysis was also applied. It is indicated that the starch paste belongs to pseudo plastic non - Newtonian fluid and its rheological characteristics meets with the power - law index model. Its consistency coefficient K decreases with rising of heating temperature, but the flow behavior index n changes little. With the increasing of mass ra...
