Cyclodextrins ( CDs) are cyclic oligasaccharides composed by D- glucose monomers joined by alpha- 1,4-D glicosidic linkages. The main types of CDs are alpha-,beta-and gamma-CDs consisting of cycles of six, seven, and eight ...

The goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of edible coating pre-treatments on the retention of provitamin A during pumpkin drying. The coatings used were based on native and modified maize and cassava starch. To ...

Starch is one of the major polysaccharides employed as biopolymers by the food industry, and its wide range of applications has resulted in intense research of starch structure and technology. Written by an outstanding ...

Carioca bean is an important product of Brazil and its major components are protein and starch. In its native form, starch has some technological constraints and modifications can improve its properties. Acetylation ...

The content and physicochemical properties of resistant starches (RS) from wrinkled pea starch obtained by different molecular mass reduction processes were evaluated. Native and gelatinised starches were submitted to acid ...

Starch was isolated from Mexican chayote tubers (Sechium edule Sw.) and the yield, physicochemical, rheological, and molecular characteristics were investigated. Commercial potato was used for comparison. Starch yield was ...

In the last decade increased isolation of starches from plant sources not conventional chemical modification of these starches from unconventional sources can produce starches with better physicochemical and functional ...
