It should be noted that different methods for measuring the molecular size (e.g., low-pressure gelpermeation chromatography based method vs high-performance sizeexclusion chromatography based one) may give different values for the same sample. To avoid the impossibility of direct comparison of some data fromdifferent studieswhich is indeed unfortunately so common in our global starch research community, systematic studies using the same instrumental setting are needed to establish a comparative database. When starch molecules are subjected to exo-acting enzymes
