Abstract Granule size, size distribution and shape are among the most important morphologically distinguishing factors of starches from different origins. This article provides an overview of aspects related to starch granule size, including procedures for determining the size, the impact of granule size on the physicochemical characteristics of starch, and biosynthetic and environmental determinants of granule size. The focus is on small granule starches, including their isolation and current and potential utilization.
