Simple ultrasound method to obtain starch micro- and nanoparticles from cassava, corn and yam starches

•Starch microparticles (SMP) and nanoparticles (SNP) were obtained by ultrasonication.•High solid content starch suspensions were employed.•The average yield of the process was 12% SNP and 88% SMP.•Yam starch with higher amylose contents had smaller SMP (1–3 μm) and SNP (8–32 nm).•No chemical reagen...
