“…Morphological changes of starches from diverse sources as affected by g-irradiation have been examined by scanning electron (SEM) (Abu, Duodu, & Minnaar, 2006;Chung & Liu, 2010;Esteves, Gírio, Amaral-Collaço, Andrade, & Empis, 1997;Ezekiel et al, 2007;Gani et al, 2013;Rayas-Duarte & Rupnow, 1993b;Singh et al, 2011;Sofi et al, 2013;Wani et al, 2014) and light (Chung & Liu, 2010;Liu et al, 2012) microscopy (Table 2). When isolated starch granules were subjected to g-irradiation, the surface was not affected at lower doses, but higher doses resulted in fissures on the granule surface and further granule damage (Sofi et al, 2013;Wani et al, 2014).…”
