Description Optical interference patterns of potato, sorghum, wheat, pigeon pea and cowpea starch granules indicated that the potato granule was ordered mostly on the centre of the granule and that the molecular arrangement of the birefringent portion was perpendicular to the radial. This was similar to legume starches, but the entire granule was ordered. Cereal starches had birefringent material on the periphery and non-birefringent material in the centre and birefringent material was radially arranged.
