The aim of this work was to investigate the role of microwave parameters and moisture content on the free volume (FV) changes of rice starch by positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy analysis (PALS) and to explore the potential relationship between the changes of FV and physicochemical properties of rice starch. Microwave heating and water molecules lead to the increasing of FV of starch. However, this result is largely influenced by the plasticization of water molecule. The anti-plasticization caused by water evaporation resulting in a decrease in the size and concentration of FV during microwave heating. Significant decrease (p < 0.05) in the thickness of amorphous region of microwave-heated rice starch was found by small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and the glass transition temperature (Tg) and gelatinization temperature significantly increase (p < 0.05) after microwave heating. According to correlation analysis, the power intensity and heating time were correlated negatively with the lifetime of o-Ps. In addition, the changes of amorphous region andTgof rice starch were strongly related to FV changes. These results provided a theoretical basis for further research on the directional regulation of FV and improvement the quality of starch-based food by using microwave treatment.
