The consistency of "sticky" rice is determined by two kinds of starch in the kernels, amylose and amylopectin. The more amylopectin, the stickier the texture. Glutinous rice is easily distinguished from other varieties by its milky colour. Most widely consumed where it is grown-mainly in dry areas of northern Thailand, Laos and Cambodia-it is often used as an ingredient in sweet dishes and snacks, and for brewing beer. 2, record 1, English, - glutinous%20rice

Despite its name [glutinous rice], this rice, widely used in Chinese cooking, is completely gluten-free. When boiled it becomes sweet and sticky and is thus used mainly in baking and confectionery, and also for making beer. (There are two varieties, black and white). 4, record 1, English, - glutinous%20rice

El arroz glutinoso (Oryza sativa var. glutinosa o Oryza glutinosa; también denominado arroz pegajoso y arroz dulce) es un tipo de arroz de grano corto que se vuelve pegajoso cuando se cocina. Se denomina glutinoso (del latín glūtinōsus) por lo pegajoso que es y no porque contenga gluten. No debe confundirse con otros arroces asiáticos que poseen este efecto pegajoso, el arroz glutinoso es más pegajoso que estos arroces. 1, record 1, Spanish, - arroz%20glutinoso

Amylose, the predominant gel-forming polymer in starch, produces stronger, relatively thermal stable gels. Because the amylose molecule is linear, it can form strong intra-and intermolecular networks "High-amylose starches are commercially used in mainly three areas : the cereal industry, confectionery and coating area, "says Neil Grimwood, director of marketing and technical services of a starch supplier's food division. 1, record 5, English, - high%2Damylose%20starch

À l'origine de cette innovation : les mathématiques appliquées aux sciences pharmaceutiques et l'étude chimique de l'amylose réticulé. «Ces deux axes de recherche ont aidé à mieux comprendre l'action des polymères, signale Louis Cartilier. Et cela a joué un rôle important dans le processus de la découverte des possibilités de l'amylose réticulé, une matrice polymère dérivée de l'amidon à haute teneur en amylose», déclare le professeur. 1, record 5, French, - amidon%20%C3%A0%20haute%20teneur%20en%20amylose
