1.2.6 SEM micrograph and photograph of RS III sample<br />

Scanning electron micrograph (magnification at 6,000 x) and the<br />

typical appearance of RS III presented in Figure 19. Morphological changes that<br />

occur in rice starch from native to retrograded states were studied by electron<br />

microscopy. When retrogradation was achieved, bigger, irregularly shaped particles<br />

with a white spongy-like porous network and honeycomb arrangement were observed.<br />

This pocked mark or honeycomb arrangement may be due to gelation of the starch<br />

dispersion during freezing. This continuous network structure composed of amylose<br />

and amylopectin was affected by re-crystallized of the debranched high amylose rice<br />

starch to form resistant starch type III. In addition, the fleshy and dried retrogradation<br />

of the debranched showed a white color that was small lumps.<br />
