Morphological properties on lintnerized maize starches with different amylose content were investigated. With increasing the lintnerization periods and decreasing the amylose content, hydrolysis rate was increased. As amylose content of starch was increased, the degree of damage with acid treatment was decreased by SEM. With increasing hydrolysis, iodine affinity, apparent amylose content and ${lambda}_{max}$ of lintnerized starches were decreased. Water binding capacities of lintnerized starches were higher than those of native starches.
