Although annealing and heat‐moisture treatments do not gelatinize or modify the size or shape of starch granules, the treatments do cause modification to the internal structure of the granules and as a consequence of these changes, modify the rate and extent of hydrolysis by amylases. This mini‐review considers these processes in the context of starch modification and digestion.
