Abstract
Starch spherulites are produced by debranching of amylopectin-containing starch into short linear α-1,4-linked glucans (e.g., short-chain amylose, SCA). The debranched linear glucans are directly converted into spherulites by heating the debranched starch mixture followed by cooling and crystallization to form well-developed spherulites. The spherulites exhibit controlled enzyme digestibility.
