Glutinous sorghum grains were soaked (60-80 °C, 2-8 h) to explore the effects of soaking, an essential step in industrial processing of brewing, on starch. As the soaking temperature increased, the peak viscosity and crystallinity of starch gradually decreased, while the enzymatic hydrolysis rate and storage modulus first increased and then decreased. At 70 °C, the content of amylose, the enzymatic hydrolysis rate of starch, and the final viscosity first increase and then decrease with the increase of soaking time, reaching their maximum at 6 h, increased by 53...
