The effects of organic molecules on the gelatinization temperature of starch in water seem to stem from the electron polarizability of those organic molecules. The same fundamental characteristic is the basis of the explanation for the effects of anions on the gelatinization temperature. The proposed hypothesis is capable to explain the familiar phenomena which arise from the interactions between starch and electrolytes.
