Rice Starch

Rice starch is produced in the form of rough granule within a round organelle called amyloplasts. The size of the starch granule ranges from smaller than 6μm, such as, in rice to bigger than 80μm in potato. The starch granule comprises 2 major parts; the alpha-glucan known as amylose and amylopectin approx. 85-90% by weight and approx. 10-15% water, 1% fat and very low protein (<0.5% by weight) while fat is consisted of lypophospholipid (LPL) and free fatty acid: FFA) (Tester, 1997)
