“…Compared with native starch, the properties of ball milled cassava and maize starch had been changed, such as the decrease of gelatinization temperature, enthalpy, apparent viscosity, shear thinning, and the increase of the apparent amylose content, cold-water solubility and transparency, it was reasoned that ball milling treatment decreased relative crystallinity of starch granules due to polycrystalline transiting into amorphous (Huang, Lu, Li, & Tong, 2007;Huang et al, 2008). For cryomilled rice starch, the viscosity and pasting temperature were decreased significantly with increasing milling duration caused by a loss of crystallinity (Devi, Fibrianto, Torley, & Bhandari, 2009). However, it has no information about the effect of ball milling treatment on ultrastructure and porosity of maize starch.…”
