Starch and starch derivatives (maltodextrins) are used as encapsulating materials. Starch for use as encapsulating material could be subjected to mild acid treatment. However, the granule size and organization of starch ...

There are areas in Mexico, where local varieties of blue corn are grown (Zea mays L.), which have variability in size, density and grain hardness as well as chemical composition. Although these variables are defined by ...

Starches from six different species (cassava, arrowroot, sweet potato, yam, canna and ginger) were isolated and some structural and physicochemical characteristics analysed and correlated. Phosphorous and amylose contents ...

This study evaluated the effect of nitrogen fertilization rates on the characteristics of potato starch. The experimental design was randomized block with four replications. The treatments were composed of four rates of N ...

A distribuição de tamanho dos grânulos influencia diretamente a composição química do amido, afetando sua funcionalidade, características de gelatinização, susceptibilidade enzimática, e cristalinidade. Os grânulos de amido ...
