In the present study, the effects of corn starch (CS) on the properties of Chinese shrimp ( Fenneropenaeus chinensis ) powder (SP) were characterized to explore the feasibility of developing dysphagia diet. The SP/CS gels were prepared by adding CS at different concentrations. The SP/CS mixture presented low gel properties at CS concentrations ranging from 12 to 48 mg/mL, but did demonstrate gelation behavior with the highest G′ value of 1134.2 Pa and a water holding capacity of 90% at 60 mg/mL. As the CS concentration increased, the stability of the SP/CS mixture also improved, as evidenced by the significantly reduced relaxation times T 22 and T 23 , enhanced gel network formation, and the presence of hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions between SP and CS. Furthermore, the international dysphagia diet standardisation initiative (IDDSI) swallowing level of the SP/CS mixtures were 2, 3, 4, and 5 at CS concentrations of 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 mg/ml, respectively. The SP/CS-60 mixture gel was considered suitable for dysphagia patients. These findings suggest that the gel properties of SP can be modified by CS, and that the SP/CS mixture gels have the potential to be used as a texture-modified diet with high-quality protein for dysphagia patients.
