*2.8. Differential Scanning Calorimetry*

DSC was used to measure the gelatinization peak (*TP*), melting temperatures (*Tm*<sup>1</sup> and *Tm*2), and the melting enthalpy (∆*Hm*2). The analyses were performed at a temperature range of 25–300 ◦C under a nitrogen atmosphere (50 cm<sup>3</sup> min−<sup>1</sup> ) using a thermogravimetric analyzer (DSC 2 STAR System, Mettler-Toledo AG, Schwerzenbach, Switzerland), according to the standard ASTM D3418-15 [19].
