| It reduces starch retrogradation after baking and thus provides baked goods with improved and longer-lasting freshness. |
| Starch retrogradation, the cause of ordinary texture staling of the crumb, can be slowed by the addition of certain compounds to the dough. |
| Moreover, the distance that the planet travels between one retrogradation and the next is quite variable. |
| The higher the amylose content in a starch, the greater the effectiveness of the retrogradation process. |
| For example, Venus does not go into retrograde in the same month or in the same sign of the zodiac from one retrogradation to the next. |
| But adding chia inhibited the kinetics of amylopectin retrogradation during storage, which would be directly related to delays in bread staling. |
