Banana starch was chemically modified using single (esterification or cross-linking) and dual modification (esterification-cross-linking and cross-linking-esterification), with the objective to increase the slowly digestible ...

Resistant starch (RS) refers to the portion of starch that is not broken down by human enzymes in the small intestine, and thus reaches the large bowel of healthy individuals. In the large bowel RS is fermented by colonic ...

Ultrasound technique was successfully used to obtain nanostructured particles from native and esterified starch, able to support the antimicrobial potassium sorbate (PS). The starch used (native, acetate or oleate) affected ...

Starch acetates with varying degree of substitution (DS) were prepared by a novel solvent-free organocatalytic methodology. The acetylation protocol involved a non-toxic biobased α-hydroxycarboxylic acid as catalyst, and ...

Micro/nanoparticles based on native (NTS), acetate (ATS)and oleate (OTS)tapioca starch were produced by dialysis technique as new materials with capacity to support the antimicrobial potassium sorbate (PS). The influence ...

The present study aimed the esterification of cassava starch with stearic acid, in order to obtain starches with properties desired by the food industry, among them, emulsifiers, stabilizers and microencapsulantes oleic ...

The starch is a non-meat emulsifiers most commonly used in embedded industry, especially cassava in its native state (succulent Manihot Crantz), however, this shape presents thermal instability compared to cycles of freezing ...

The native starches do not support extreme conditions, such as strong mechanical agitation or acidic pH and naturally retrogrades. Given that, the chemical modifications are made so that the starch is able to withstand ...
