What is the name of Wenzhou starch paste?

It is called starch paste. Starch paste has the structure of alternating crystalline regions and amorphous region. After heating provides enough energy to break the weak hydrogen bonds in the crystalline micelle region, the particles begin to hydrate and swell, and the crystalline region disappears. Most amylose is dissolved in the solution, and the viscosity of the solution increases, starch particles break and birefringence disappears. This process is called gelatinization. The sticky substance formed after starch gelatinization is called starch.
