Answer to Question 1

Instant oats have been steamed to pregelatinize the starch, allowing immediate hydration, which means they are quick to prepare. Quick-cooking oatmeal has disodium phosphate added to it, which allows starch granules to reach gelatinization temperatures quicker.

Answer to Question 2

Cereals increase in volume and viscosity when cooked because they absorb water, which is called gelatinization.
