Popis: The melting process of frozen water (FW) in various starches (rice, wheat, potato) that have crystal lattices of A- and B-type has been studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The dependences of the melting temperature (Tm) and heat (Qm) of FW on the size of the water clusters forming in starches with various humidity (the so-called size effect) and on conformational changes of starch molecules upon the destruction of native starch crystals (starch amorphization) have been considered. It has been found that in the native starches with low humidity (
