Corn is widely consumed in Brazil and spray drying allows for versatility in its use. This study
aimed to evaluate the effects of maltodextrin concentrations and the inlet air temperature on …

Cassava starch has been shown to make transparent and colorless flexible films without any
previous chemical treatment. The functional properties of edible films are influenced by …

In the present work, native pinhão starch, modified pinhão starch (hydrolyzed with different
concentrations of HCl), glycerol and xanthan gum were used to produce biofilms. The …

In the present work some tropical starches were modified by an oxidative chemical treatment
with potassium permanganate and lactic acid. The native and modified samples were …

Amidos de mandioca podem ser matérias-primas para a obtenção de filmes
biodegradáveis, sendo que para a formação destes é necessária a elaboração de …

Formulations of biodegradable films using macrocarpa peach palm flour (low amylose
starch), chitosan and glycerol, were developed and the effects of the drying temperature on …

Thirteen thermophilic fungal strains were isolated from agricultural soil, tubers and compost
samples in tropical Brazil. Two strains were selected based on of their ability to produce …

In this work, cassava starch was modified by treatment with sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) at
different concentrations (0.8, 2.0 and 5.0% of active chlorine) and selected physicochemical …

Considering the importance of cassava starch for Brazilian industries, the current work
aimed at evaluating the effects of extrusion parameters on the physical characteristics …

Starch extraction from roots and tubers uses grating with water and sieves to separate the
starch slurry from residual mass. The starch is recovered by decantation or centrifugation …
