Porous corn starch from glucoamylase hydrolysis of native corn starch was examined before and after cross‐linking, acid hydrolysis and dry ball milling. Cross‐linking does not significantly change the crystallinity, water absorption or gelatinisation properties but acid hydrolysis at 60°C increases, proportionately, crystallinity and water absorption capacity and decreases moisture adsorption at humidities less than 80%, in comparison to untreated porous corn starch. Highly crystalline porous starch has a fragile granule structure. Ball milling destroys crystallinity in both normal, porous, and cross‐linked or partially hydrolyzed starches. Particle sizes of 1–2m are obtained by milling dry starches for 48 h. Water absorption for milled starches is more than 200% (weight water/weight starch d.b.). Viscosities of these products were significantly reduced at high temperatures. Products formed stable gels in 25–30% dispersions in cold water.
