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
