Linear and non-linear viscoelastic behaviors of crosslinked tapioca starch/polysaccharide systems

► Linear and non-linear viscoelastic behaviors of crosslinked starch/polysaccharide systems. ► Excess storage moduli, an indicative of specific interactions, from Parliene equation obtained. ► Arrangement of the starch granules and the specific interfacial interactions affects the large deformation behavior. ► Konjac glucomannan/xanthan mixture improves stress susceptibility and gives unique shear stiffening.
