Starch samples were extracted from food grains namely Jowar, Cheno, Vatana and Tuwer, and physico‐chemical properties were determined. These samples were examined under polarized light. SALS pattern enabled to determine the size of these starch granules. A comparison has been made between the size determined from the optical microscopy and the SALS technique.
