Aqueous mixtures of defatted corn starch and different fatty acids were heated and processed with high‐pressure homogenization to form starch–lipid complexes. A variety of fatty acids with chain lengths of 12–18 carbons and with varying degrees of unsaturation were studied regarding their ability to form amylose–lipid complexes. Linoleic acid (65.7%) displayed the greatest complex forming ability with defatted corn starch, followed by lauric acid (63.2%), oleic acid (62.2%), myristic acid (61.2%), palmitic acid (59.8%), and stearic acid (54.6%). The XRD analysis showed that the complexes presented the well‐known V‐helical type diffraction. DSC was used to analyze the thermal properties. Based on the 85–110°C transition temperature and the 60–95°C synthesis temperature, the experimental complexes are less ordered type I complexes. The in vitro digestibility studies indicated that long‐chain saturated fatty acids increased digestibility more than the short‐chain saturated and unsaturated fatty acids when in complex with defatted corn starch.
