Abstract

Highlights • Carboxymethyl rice starch was cross-linked with epichlorohydrin. • Significant changes in swelling and water uptake were observed. • Carboxymethylation increased rapidly digestible starch (RDS) content. • ECH cross-linking at appropriate levels raised resistant starch (RS) level. • Tablet disintegrating property suggested uses in food and pharmaceutical products.
