Our investigation indicates that high- pressure microfluidization process induce the gelatinization process which is crucial for granule swelling and water access\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>This discovery has many application potentials in the food and drug industry. According to the Thai Board of Investment (BOI), the Thai food industry generates about $15 billion dollars annually and comprises about 30% of GDP. As for the drug industry, it is estimated that by 2016 Thailand will have the seventh largest pharmaceutical market in the Asia Pacific region. <strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Collaborators on this investigation included researchers from Srinakharinwirot University and Kasetsart University.
