Rheological study of starch extracted from germinated and non-germinated maize vis-a-vis printing

► Similar viscosity of 10% non-germinated and 11% germinated starch paste. ► Lower shear thinning index of germinated maize starch paste than sound variety. ► Lower stiffness of the prints in germinated starch prints. ► Total or partial replacement of non-germinated maize starch. ► Utilization of germinated maize starch for use in textile applications.
