Abstract The present study utilizes citric acid (CA, 12–60% of dry starch) and sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP, 6–30% of dry starch) to crosslink buckwheat starch. The major morphological changes are observed for CAinduced crosslinking, which erodes the polygonal and irregular shaped granules surface leading to formation of indentation and disappearance of pores. FTIR analysis confirms CA crosslinking, which introduces a new peak at 1720 cm−1 (stretching vibration of C═O).
