“…Recently, information regarding starch treatment with electron beam (e-beam) in different irradiation dose range, either at low or relative high doses (0 -25 kGy) (De Kerf et al, 2001;Pimpa et al, 2007) or at very high doses (> 50 kGy) (Kamal et al, 2007;Shishonok et al, 2007) were reported. The studies concerning the effects of ionizing radiation were performed on starches extracted from various vegetal sources such as corn (Kang et al, 1999;De Kerf et al, 2001;Adeil Pietranera & Narvaiz, 2001), wheat (MacArthur & D'Appolonia, 1984;Koksel et al, 1996), potato (Ezekiel et al, 2007;Shishonok et al, 2007), barley endosperms (Faust & Massey Jr., 1966), rice (Wu et al, 2002;Bao et al, 2005) or sago (Pimpa et al, 2007). The reported data showed that ionizing radiation treatment generates free radicals on starch molecules that can alter their size and structure (Raffi et al, 1980;Ciesla et al, 1991;Grant & D' Appolonia, 1991;Sabularse et al, 1991;Sokhey et.…”
