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 ...

Physicochemical, structural and morphological characteristics of maize and cassava starches treated with 0.36% concentrated HCl in anhydrous methanol at WC for 1-8 h were analyzed and compared. Average yield of modified ...

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 ...

Retrograded and debranched starch, known as resistant starch type 3 (RS3), is resistant to digestive enzymes and exhibits a behavior similar to that of dietary fibers. In this study, the effect of β- and α-amylase on the ...

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 ...

Starch is an important raw material in the fermentation industry for producing ethanol, which can then be used as renewable biofuel or as a basis for food, drink and pharmaceutical uses. Many tropical starch-producing ...

Starch has application in several industrial sectors, such as food, textile, paper, pharmaceutical, among other industries. To meet this demand, native starches have been modified by chemical, physical and enzymatic methods. ...

The use of chemically modified starches is widely accepted in various industries, with several applications. In this research, natural cassava starch granules were treated with standard sodium hypochlorite solution at 0.8, ...
