Effect of heat-moisture treatment on the structural and physicochemical characteristics of sand rice (Agriophyllum squarrosum) starch. [PDF]
Food Sci Nutr, 2021 A small granule starch was modified by HMT. A higher MC (≤20%) during HMT increased starch orders with unaltered granule morphology, and HMT‐20% produced the highest amount of SDS and RS in starch. The sand rice starch can be modulated by HMT through controlled MC.
