pregelatinized
Heat-treated before packaging
Pregelatinized describes starch that has been processed with heat and moisture so it will dissolve or thicken in cold water without cooking.
Regular starch requires heating to gelatinize; pregelatinized starch has already undergone this transformation.
It appears in instant puddings, pharmaceutical tablets, and processed foods where quick hydration matters: pregelatinized corn starch, pregelatinized flour.
