Abstract The high degree of fat binding observed in biscuit wafers has been shown to occur as a result of baking and not mixing. In this instance, binding occurs between starch and fat. Evidence is presented that this binding is the result of a physical mechanism in which starch gelatinisation appears to play some role.
