Gelatinization temperatures for ''pinhão'' are smaller than for corn and cassava starches, bringing advantages in industrial processes. The ''pinhão'' starches of the 4 different provenances were subjected to dilutions of 1:4, 1:5 e 1:6, in water. The starches were evaluated using DSC to determine gelatinization characteristics of them. The results showed that the source and dilutions have influence in the gelation process of the starch.Edição dos Anais do 7º Simpósio de Análise Térmica, 2015, Bauru.Disponível na internet.openAccessGelatinization processPinhão starchdifferential scanning calorimetryThermal tool in the evaluation of the "pinhão'' (seed of Araucaria angustifolia) starch aimed agroindustrial process.Artigo em anais e proceedings
