Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements were
performed using a micro DSC (204F1, Netzsch, German). The starch
suspensions were shaken thoroughly before being weighed into a
DSC cell. A sample aliquot (10 mg) was transferred to a DSC
measurement cell and sealed. An empty aluminum pan was used
as reference. The cells were heated from 40 to 95 C at a rate of
5 C/min. The temperatures at the beginning (To), peak (Tp), and
conclusion (Tc) during the gelatinization process were measured.
The gelatinization enthalpy (4H) was also measured
