The impact of high pressure treatments (HPT) on some physicochemical properties of normal corn, waxy corn, wheat, and potato starches were studied. Three high pressure treatments were applied: HPT1 (740-880 MPa from 5 min to 2 h), HPT2 (960-1100 MPa for 24 h) and HPT3 (1500 MPa for 24 h). Using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), it was found that the gelatinization temperature of starch was lowered by 3.0-6.6 °C after high pressure treatment and the corresponding gelatinization enthalpy was also reduced. In addition, these changes were irreversible and maintained during storage at 25 °C for up to 6 months. However, the birefringence of native and high pressure treated starch was not visually different in polarized light. For starches of same biological origin, their X-ray diffraction patterns were also similar. Using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), it was revealed that the high pressure treatments altered the shape of starch granules and changed their surface appearance. © 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
