Abstract Starch is obtained from cereals (corn, potato and rice), and is used in food, paper, mining industries, and in the production of adhesives. Starch granules from various botanical sources vary widely in the granular size and shape as well as in the composition of amylose, amylopectin and protein, thus leading to differences in functional properties and industrial applicability. In addition, size of starch granules has an important influence on the enzymatic reaction. The sieving may be used for size-based fractionation of granules. However it may induce damage of starch granules by mechanical force. The split flow thin cell (SPLITT) is a separation technique that provides fractionation of a polydispersed sample into two size fractions. SPLITT uses an open channel, and thus mechanical damages could be minimized. It can also be used in a large scale as the sample can be fed continuously. In this study, SPLITT was employed for a size-based fractionation of various starch granules (corn, potato) in a large scale. The SPLITT fractionation results were checked by optical microscope (OM) and gravitational field-flow fractionation (GrFFF). Then the size-fractions of the starch granules were analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Results from DSC suggested that the composition of the starch granules may vary with their sizes and types.
