Abstract
The present application is related to a micronized starch with an average particle size of less than 5 μm and a degree of polymerization greater than 100, wherein the micronized starch exhibits at least 20% of the crystallinity of the base granular starch.
Claims11
A micronized starch granule with an average particle size as assessed by Polarization Intensity Differential Plus Electric Light Scattering of 1 μm to 5 μm and a degree of polymerization greater than 100, wherein the micronized starch retains at least 50% of the crystallinity as determined by X-ray diffraction of a base granular starch from which the micronized starch is derived.
