Our results indicated that the addition of LA and MA did not alter the gelatinization progression of WWS but inhibited the melting extent of starch crystallites, leading to the decreased DH. Inconsistent results were reported on the effects of lipids on gelatinization of waxy starch in previous studies. reported that To, Tp, Tc and DH of waxy corn starch
were not substantially altered by the addition of lipids. However, the To and DH of waxy corn starch were shown to decrease with the addition of lipids in another study.
