Table 1. Relative crystallinity (%) and degree of substitution (DS) of octenyl succinic anhydride modified taro starch nanoparticles (OSA-SNPs).

Sample	Crystallinity (%)	DS
SNPs	57.78±0.70^a	0
OSA-SNPs (50%)	51.64±0.30^b	0.024±0.03^b
OSA-SNPs (100%)	48.16±0.50^c	0.036±0.02^a

Values are means±standard deviations of three replications. Different letters (a, b, c) in the same column represent significant differences (p<0.05).

OSA-SNPs (50%, 100%): SNPs modified with 50% and 100% OSA (based on the weight of starch).
