showed that with increasing the homogenization pressure, the intrinsic viscosity reduced significantly from 2.4 to 0.56 (mL/g). Increasing the pressure had further reduced the intrinsic viscosity of the samples. The reduction of the intrinsic viscosity is generally an indication of molecular degradation of starch upon homogenization which may confirm the results of starch water solubility. High shear and pressure applied during homogenization may cause such changes.
