Abstract
THE changes produced in potato starch by the action of ionizing radiation is of considerable importance and have been the subject of many investigations in recent years1–4. Physical changes induced in air-dried starch granules by γ-irradiation indicated that hydrolytic degradation had been occurring. Therefore, small molecular fission products of an irradiated specimen of potato starch were analysed by several chromatographical methods.
