Abstract The microwave-induced modifications in physical characteristics, functional properties, and antioxidant potential of Nelumbo nucifera rhizome starch were studied. The rhizome flour was subjected to microwave irradiation at different treatment times (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 min) at the low-medium intensity (200 W). The starch was obtained from the native and microwave treated flour and analyzed for its physical characteristics, functional properties, and antioxidant potential. The microwave treatment showed a significant (p
