even after 24 h of incubation with a gentle motion.This indicates that the rice starch and MCPF had intermolecular networks that remained intact and only the monomers were soluble. The results demonstrated that the FS of rice starch films decreased with the addition of MCPF. These results could arise from the fact that higher content of MCPF induced a rice starch and MCPF interaction and resulted in a decrease in the FS.
