TL;DR: The phase transitions of maize starches with different amylose contents (3.4-82.9%) were systematically studied by DSC with stainless steel high-pressure pan under temperature scanning from 30 up to 200°C as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the interaction between starch and gallic acid (GA) and its influence on the in vitro digestibility of rice starch gel were investigated, which was correlated to the variation in GA fluorescence and the changes in starch pasting and gel properties.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of planetary ball-milling treatment on the multi-scale structures and pasting properties of these cornstarches were investigated, and the results suggest that planetary ballmilling could be a potential physical method to obtain starch products with relatively low viscosity at high concentration and enhanced pasting stability.

TL;DR: After dry heating combined with annealing treatment starches had the highest pasting temperature, the thinnest and the thickest of crystalline lamellae for NMS and PS, respectively, and the highest ordered structures of cooked-starch compared with single dry heating or annealed modified starches.

TL;DR: Using synchrotron X-ray scattering analyses and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, this work provides insights into the solvent effects of water : [C2mim][OAc] solutions on the disorganization of a starch semi-crystalline structure.
