Potato starch granules have been examined by synchrotron radiation small- and wide-angle scattering in a diamond anvil cell (DAC) up to 750 MPa. Use of a 1 microm synchrotron radiation beam allowed the mapping of individual granules at several pressure levels. The data collected at 183 MPa show an increase in the a axis and lamellar period from the edge to the center of the granule, probably due to a gradient in water content of the crystalline and amorphous lamellae. The average granules radius increases up to the onset of gelatinization at about 500 MPa, but the a axis and the lamellar periodicity remain constant or even show a decrease, suggesting an initial hydration of amorphous growth rings. The onset of gelatinization is accompanied by (i) an increase in the average a axis and lamellar periodicity, (ii) the appearance of an equatorial SAXS streak, and (iii) additional short-range order peaks.
