“…In recent years, dual physical modification methods based on “green” physical techniques, including ionizing radiation or plasma discharges, have been studied on different starches from rice, corn, mung bean, sago, lentil, talipot, potato, and red adzuki bean. For example, promising and extensive works on the combination of physical methods such as microwaves/cold plasma [ 13 ], gamma irradiation/pyrolysis [ 14 ], corona electrical discharge plasma/electron beam irradiation [ 15 ], ultrasound/dielectric barrier discharge plasma [ 16 ], gamma irradiation/annealing [ 17 ], sonication/gamma irradiation [ 18 , 19 ], twin-screw extrusion/cold plasma [ 20 ], and dry heat/ dielectric barrier discharge plasma [ 21 ] have been conducted by research groups around the world. The reported results revealed that the changes in starch functionalities appear to be caused by degradation or cross-linking effects, which may depend on the processing parameters, application sequences of the studied treatments, and starch characteristics.…”
