Abstract
⺠Low dosage γ-irradiation of potato tubers induced degradation of starch molecules, resulted in earlier swelling of starch granules. ⺠The retrogradation rate and extent of a concentrated starch gel increased with storage time while irradiation seemed to delay retrogradation. ⺠The effects of potato irradiation and subsequent storage on starch properties were more evident by rheological measurements.
