Retrogradation

When the cooked cereal cools down, the starch chains slowly rebond to each other in tighter, more organized associations, and the granule becomes firmer and harder, a process called retrogradation right. ❋ Harold McGee (2004)

Hezekiah, described as the retrogradation of the Sun’s shadow on the dial of Ahaz, is to be interpreted as connected with a partial eclipse of the Sun. ❋ Unknown (1878)

Try it, but i believe her experience in judging the exact degree of parboiling Re: the size of the potatoes, the subsequent cooling [retrogradation?], and her experienced grating [hand, box grater], plus egg mixture et al. all combined to produce the superlative results. ❋ Unknown (2008)

This retrogradation helps unmask those in positions of authority who only serve their own agenda and not for the good of the people. ❋ Michelle Karén (2008)

Staling is now understood to be a manifestation of starch retrogradation, the recrystallization, water migration out of the granules, and hardening that take place when cooked starch is then cooled p. ❋ Harold McGee (2004)

The bacteria somehow delay starch retrogradation and staling, and the acids they produce make the bread resistant to spoilage microbes: so sourdough breads are especially flavorful and keep well. ❋ Harold McGee (2004)

The initial firming of the freshly baked bread loaf, which improves its ability to be sliced, is caused by the retrogradation of the simple straight-chain amylose molecules, and is essentially complete within a day of baking. ❋ Harold McGee (2004)

Again, the holding and drying cause starch retrogradation and the formation of a structure that stands up to rehydration in hot water. ❋ Harold McGee (2004)

Leftover rice is often hard due to the retrogradation of the starch, which is cured by heating it up to the gelation temperature again. ❋ Harold McGee (2004)

For example, monoglycerides have been used for decades in the baking business because they help retard staling, apparently by complexing with amylose and blocking starch retrogradation. ❋ Harold McGee (2004)

This is because during the process of retrogradation, amylose molecules manage to form some clusters that are even more highly organized than the clusters in the original starch granule, crystalline regions that resist breaking even at boiling temperatures. ❋ Harold McGee (2004)

It were enough, if what there is yet opportunity of examining were accurately inspected, and justly represented; but such is the laxity of Highland conversation, that the inquirer is kept in continual suspense, and by a kind of intellectual retrogradation, knows less as he hears more. ❋ Unknown (2003)
