Comparative study of the physico-chemical properties of rice and corn starche…

Starches isolated from the rice (Jhelum and Kohsar) and corn (PS-43 and Shalimarmaize)cultivars were studied for their physico-chemical and morphological properties. Physicochemical properties such as composition, water and oil absorption capacity, swelling power, syneresis,freeze–thaw stability and light transmittance showed significant differences among the starches. Amylose contents of sta…
