Factors affecting starch utilization in large animal food production system: A review (2014, neutral): “Starch granules isolated from different feed grains and other starch sources reveal characteristic morphologies, varying in shape [39], in molecular size [45] and in specific surface structure and porosity [54–57].”
Understanding Starch Structure: Recent Progress (2017, background): “It was noted above that the dimensions of the nano-crystals, that have been isolated by mild acid hydrolysis of starch granules and stems from the crystalline lamellae [67], are so large so that more than hundred double-helices contribute to the individual crystals [68].”
Study of the structural order of native starch granules using combined FTIR and XRD analysis (2018, background): “In contrast, type B polymorphs are more open with water molecules in the central cavity surrounded by six double helices [3].”
Lamellar structure change of waxy corn starch during gelatinization by time-resolved synchrotron SAXS (2017, background): “62 The structure of native starch granules is a unit ent rety and organized in different 63 length scales, i.e., whole granule (µm), growth rings (~0.1 µm), lamellar structure 64 (8-11 nm) and molecular scale (~0.1nm) (Pérez & Bertoft, 2010; Tran, et al., 2011).”
