Self-Assembly of Starch Spherulites as Induced by Inclusion Complexation with Small Ligands - Food Colloids: Self-Assembly and Material Science - page 120

Figure 1 Polarized light microscopy [images (a), (c) and (e)] and phase contrast light
microscopy [images (b), (d) and (f)] of amylose lactone spherulites, 24 h
after complexation (scale bar ¼ 10 m m). Different spherulitic morphologies
were obtained depending on the type of lactone: rod-like spherulites with
g -dodecalactone (a,b), irregular spherulites with g -nonalactone (c,d) and
spherulites with a Maltese cross with d -dodecalactone (e,f)
