Abstract :
Microwaves can be used to modify exactly parts of macromolecular complexes. So under this microwave condition of molecular manipulation, the nano-structural units of starch granules can dissociate from the granules, respectively, when gelatinization occurs. Using atomic force microscopy (AFM) to observe this process, it can be seen that some nano-structural chains are just flowing out of the granule and this proves that there are substantive nano-structural units in the starch granules, a phenomenon not previously observed.
