Table 1.

Granule sizes of starches.

Tissues d(0.1) (μm) d(0.5) (μm) d(0.9) (μm) D[4,3] (μm)
Flesh 6.949 ± 0.001 16.439 ± 0.016 30.066 ± 0.034 17.496 ± 0.017
Peel 7.450 ± 0.002 *** 15.355 ± 0.001 *** 27.249 ± 0.005 *** 16.353 ± 0.001 ***

The d(0.1), d(0.5), and d(0.9) are the diameter of granules for which 10%, 50%, and 90% of particles are smaller by volume, respectively. The D[4,3] is the mean diameter by volume. Data are mean ± standard deviations for triplicate. * The data show significant difference between flesh and peel starches (*** p < 0.001).
