Physical and/or Chemical Modifications of Starch by Thermoplastic Extrusion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Starch makes up the nutritive reserves of many plants. Starch biosynthesis is a complex process, which may be summarized as during the growing season, the green leaves collect energy from the sun, this energy is transported as a sugar solution to the starch storage cells, and the sugar is converted into starch in the form of tiny granules occupying most of the cell interior. The conversion of sugar into starch takes place through enzymes (Corn Production Source, 2011; Tester et al., 2006).

Impact, thermal and biodegradation properties of high impact polystyrene/corn starch blends processed via melt extrusion
High impact polystyrene (HIPS)/corn starch blends were prepared in presence of glycerol as a plasticizer via melt extrusion process by a twin-screw extruder. The novelty of this work is first, because of the use of pre-gelatinized corn starch as modified one and second, the procedure of making blends by extruder which makes it ease of access and also industrially possible. The blends were then ...

Thermoplastic starch (TPS) materials present several advantages to the plastic industry andwhen blended with other materials they can exhibit improved mechanical and moisturesensitivity properties compared to pure TPS materials. Further investigations on TPS: PVAblends are of particular interest due to their excellent compatibility and improved properties suchas tensile strength, elongation, to...
متن کاملRetrogradation and Antiplasticization of Thermoplastic Starch
Petrochemical-based plastics are widely used in modern society due to their high effective mechanical and barrier properties (Farris et al., 2009; Siracusa et al., 2008). However, petrochemical-based plastics have become an environmental concern as they are not biodegradable or recyclable. Replacing the petrochemical-based polymers with biopolymers which are renewable has become an attractive i...
متن کاملDevelopment and Characterization of Extruded Broken Rice and Lupine (Lupinus albus)
Mixtures of cereals and legumes result in products with higher content of high biological value proteins. The thermoplastic extrusion promotes the transformation of chemical, physical and nutritional characteristics of the food such as starch gelatinization and promotes the inactivation of anti-nutritional compounds and enzymes. This study aimed to develop products extruded using broken rice an...

In this research the effects of two common cooking processes of foods, namely, autoclave and extrusion cooking on the molecular and physicochemical properties of wheat starch were investigated. The results showed that the solubility of the autoclaved samples increased with increasing the temperature while their relative viscosity decreased. These findings indicated that the molecular degradat...
