The main advantage of high-amylose starch in cereal is to control texture ... In a very high shear twin extrusion process, high-amylose starch gives good expansion in the cereal. This yields a smooth, uniform product, partly because of high-amylose starch's high glass transition temperature. It also helps extend bowl life and keeps the cereal crisper in the bowl. 2, record 1, English, - glass%20transition

Un material no cristalino puede existir en el estado vítreo o en el estado líquido sobre-enfriado("gomoso" [...]) dependiendo de la temperatura y de la presencia de agua. El cambio entre estos dos estados, se conoce como transición vítrea. El término transición vítrea se refiere a la temperatura a la cual los vidrios inorgánicos empiezan a ablandarse y fluir [...] La transformación de materiales vítreos en líquidos superenfriados viscosos ocurre en el rango de la temperatura de transición vítrea. 1, record 1, Spanish, - transici%C3%B3n%20v%C3%ADtrea
