The presence of polyfunctional ligands on the bio-macromolecules acts as an efficient
adsorbent for heavy metal ions. Starch is one of the most abundant, easily available and …

Abstract Treatment or processing of starch with organic acids (citric, stearic, succinic, and
malic acids) can be used to obtain starch properties like low retrogradation, desirable …

Pulsed light, pulsed electric field and cold plasma are three different non-thermal and non-
chemical sterilization techniques that are becoming exceedingly important in food industry …

Non-thermal plasma treatment is an emerging and effective starch modification technique. In
this paper, plasma pretreatment was used to modify citrate naked barley starch for …

For the first time, the current work applied fungal α-amylase treated corn starch in granular
form to produce solid state malate-esterified starch (MES). The pores and channels created …

To expand industrial utilization of tigernut starch and meet the demand for industrial starch,
the influence of dry heat treatment (130° C for 2 h and 4 h, 7% moisture) on the functional …

In this research, the cationization process of microporous starch with betaine hydrochloride
(BHC) in the presence of H 3 PO 4 (as a catalyst) under heating/cooling cycles was reported …

With the growing global awareness of environmental protection, the demand for
biodegradable materials to replace traditional plastic foam has become increasingly urgent …

The current work was the first report to prepare lactate-esterified debranched starch (LEDS)
in solid state mode. Normal maize starch (NS) was initially modified by pullulanase enzyme …

In this study, a novel simple and eco-efficient, semi-dry method with a spray system for
starch modification has been developed. Compared to conventional semi-dry methods, this …
