Abstract: Compared with the commerical natural corn starch, the water content, moisture absorption, water holding capacity(WHC) and apparent density of different granularity micronized starch prepared in the physical granulation were studied. It methodshowed that when the size reduced, the water content of micronized starch decreased. Micronized starch showed higher sorptionproperty and WHC and lower apparent density than commerical natural corn starch.

Key words: corn starch, micronized, water
