Abstract
⺠Maize starch granules (27-84% amylose) are amylase digested by similar mechanisms. ⺠Granule architecture is the rate-controlling factor irrespective of amylose content. ⺠Amylopectin branch length distributions are largely preserved during digestion. ⺠Crystalline and lamella structures are only changed to a limited extent during digestion.
