Parboiling / pre-gelatinising A07LK Core term * Facets **

Boiling or steaming (mostly referred to cereals) until partially cooked in order to pre-gelatinize starches. With this treatment cereals take less time to cook, and after cooking are firmer and less sticky. In general terms, pregelatinisation is modification of starch to improve significantly its swelling properties in cold water.

Core term (Level of detail)

A standard food term, suitable as a base term in a FoodEx2 code. ↩

Facets (Type of Term)

Not a food, but a category of characteristics you can add to a food term — for example how it was processed, how it was packaged, or what it was made from. ↩

Implicit facet descriptors *

No implicit facet descriptors.

Facet descriptor

Implicit facet descriptors are characteristics a food already implies, so they are left out of its FoodEx2 code. For example, "smoked salmon" (A02KF) implies the facet descriptor "smoking" (F28.A07JV); because the term itself already conveys it, it is not added to the code. ↩
