Influence of botanic origin and amylose content on the morphology of starch nanocrystals (2011, background): “It was soon followed by works on chitin and starch, mainly potato (Chen et al. 2008; Dufresne and Cavaillé 1998) and waxy maize (Angellier 2005; Putaux et al.”
Preparation, modification, and application of starch nanocrystals in nanomaterials: a review (2011, background): “Figures 2(a) and 2(b) show TEM images of starch nanocrystals derived from pea starch [19] and potato starch [20], respectively.”
Characterization of nanoparticles prepared by acid hydrolysis of various starches (2012, background): “In the case of potato starch, however, nanocrystals of different sizes (40–100 nm) and shapes (round and grape-like) were obtained [8, 9].”
